Reflection

🌿 In the first reading, Paul challenges the early Church on divisions, especially in the celebration of the Eucharist. 🍞 He reminds them of the importance of unity, love, and respect when sharing the Lord's Supper, emphasizing that it should be a time of communion and reflection, not separation. 🕊️

✨ In the Gospel, the centurion demonstrates great humility and faith by acknowledging his unworthiness and expressing trust in Jesus’ power to heal. 💖 His words, "I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof," are echoed during the Mass before receiving the Eucharist, reminding us of the deep faith and humility required to approach Christ. 🙏

🕊️ Today, we also honor Saints Cornelius and Cyprian, martyrs and leaders of the early Church. Their courage in defending the faith during persecution inspires us to uphold unity and sacramental integrity, even in the face of adversity. ✝️
