Homily -"Joy in His Presence"-19th January 2026 - Fr.Cyril C.Ss.R.

Joy in His Presence invites us into a deeper understanding of Jesus’ teaching in the Gospel of Mark, where faith is revealed not as empty ritual but as a living, joyful relationship with God. When questioned about fasting, Jesus presents Himself as the Bridegroom—reminding us that His presence calls first for rejoicing, not obligation. This reflection challenges us to examine our own spiritual practices. Are they meaningful encounters with Christ, or habits carried out without awareness of His living presence? Through the powerful images of new wine and fresh wineskins, the Gospel calls us to renew our hearts, so that our prayer, fasting, and devotion flow from love and joy rather than routine. As long as Christ is alive and active in our lives, we are invited to celebrate, to recognize His grace at work within us, and to allow the Holy Spirit to transform our faith into something vibrant and life-giving. May this message help you rediscover the joy that comes from truly welcoming Jesus into your life. ✨ “Life is wonderful now, since the Savior came.” #JoyInHisPresence #gospelreflection #catholichomily #NewWineNewSkins #FaithAndJoy #christianliving #markgospel #JesusTheBridegroom #spiritualrenewal #catholicfaith
