Homily for the Memorial of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, Virgin

Sometimes, we overlook the significance of seemingly ordinary things and fail to recognize their value, even when they are right in front of us. When the Pharisees asked about the arrival of the kingdom of God, they were surprised by Jesus' response: "The kingdom of God is among you." This revelation, though not in the form they expected, was a powerful reminder that God's kingdom is indeed present.

Christ's presence is not always grand or dramatic, but it is always felt in our lives. He works through those who uplift, heal, and bring life to others. His influence, though subtle, is profound, shaping our daily experiences in ways we may not even be aware of. He promised, "I am with you always," assuring us that we will never be without His healing power. We need faith, as well as open eyes and ears, to recognize His presence. Let us pray for an increase in our faith.
