Repent | Matthew

Fr. Michael Strachan reflects on Jesus beginning his public ministry in the shadow of state violence and proclaiming, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Observing the Gospel reading alongside the words of the prophet Amos and the conversion of St. Paul, he calls the Church to discern the difference between the kingdoms of this world and the kingdom of God. Repentance, Fr. Michael reminds us, is not simply feeling sorry, but turning around and walking in a different direction. Rather than aligning ourselves with power, security, or violence, we are invited to confess, lament, intercede, and pray for the coming of God’s kingdom — a kingdom marked by justice, mercy, and allegiance to Christ alone. 📖 Scripture: Matthew 4:12–22 🕊️ Preacher: Fr.
