Silence Over Hustle - Rev. Fr. Sujit Thomas

Silence Over Hustle - Rev. Fr. Sujit Thomas

This episode reflects on how modern life equates worth with productivity, placing intense pressure on people from childhood through academic achievement and constant accomplishment. It also highlights how distractions—especially phones—keep us from focusing on what matters most and from spending time at the feet of Jesus seeking the one thing He calls necessary. Sujit Achen argues that the prevalence of distraction is a reminder of the need for silence and contemplation, noting that if Jesus took His apostles away for this purpose, it is even more necessary for listeners today. 00:00 Productivity Pressure 08:30 Worth and Achievement 08:38 Distraction Overload 08:54 The One Thing Needed 09:08 Phones and Focus 09:20 Silence and Contemplation Recorded: June 28, 2026

How to address the "I will do what I want" attitude - Rev. Fr. Abey George

What does it really mean to follow Christ? In John 6, Jesus declares, "I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me." If even the Son willingly submits to the Father's will, what does that mean for our own lives? This homily explores the struggle between our will and God's will, inviting us to identify the sins that keep us from true freedom. Through practical examples—from family life and marriage to daily habits—we are challenged to crucify our self-centered desires so that God's will can take root within us. True joy is not found in doing whatever we want, but in learning to pray and live the words, "Not my will, but Yours be done." Recorded: June 14, 2026

The Value System of the Kingdom - His Grace Zachariah Mar Nicholovos

On the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, we hear Christ's surprising words: "Blessed are the poor, the hungry, those who weep, and those who are rejected." In a world that measures success by wealth, comfort, popularity, and power, Jesus reveals a completely different set of values—the values of the Kingdom of God. Reflecting on the calling of the Apostles and Christ's teaching from Luke 6, this homily challenges us to examine what we truly seek and what we consider a blessing. Are we living according to the world's standards, or according to the eternal values of Christ's Kingdom? Recorded: June 29, 2025

The Promise in Our Hands - Rev. Fr. Vijay Thomas

A homily on John 6:35–46 that draws a sharp parallel between King Jeroboam's rejection of God's promise (driven by fear and the desire for convenience) and our own tendency to chase insecurity, anxiety, idols, and pride instead of coming to Christ, the Bread of Life. Like Jeroboam, who held a promise from God and let it fall, we face the same question: will we come and meet Him, or reject what He offers? The sermon emphasizes that as branches, our strength comes not from ourselves but from the Vine, and calls the congregation to receive nourishment from the Bread of Life in the Holy Qurbana. Grounded throughout in the church's own liturgy—the Post-Gospel Hymn and the Communion invitation.

From the Apostles to Our Families - Rev. Dn. Shojil Abraham

In this Sunday homily, we reflect on the mission Christ gave His apostles and the inheritance they handed down to the Church. The apostles passed on a life centered on Jesus Christ—a life marked by prayer, humility, forgiveness, sacrifice, and divine love. Yet the world offers a different inheritance: a life centered on the self, success, comfort, and personal recognition. Drawing from everyday examples in family life, parenting, careers, suffering, social media, and relationships, this message challenges us to examine what we are receiving and what we are passing on to the next generation. Are we handing down the faith of the apostles or the values of the world? The homily also highlights the often-overlooked role of the Mother of God after Pentecost, showing how she continued to guide, strengthen, and support the apostles in their mission. As we seek to live authentic Christian lives in our homes and communities, we are invited to seek her prayers and help, just as the apostles did. May we become faithful stewards of the apostolic inheritance, passing on not merely knowledge about Christ, but a life truly centered on Him.
