Faith Leads to Service
In his Sunday Mass homily at Saint Michael Parish in Kalibo, Bishop Romie-Jun Peñalosa emphasized a powerful message: faith leads to service. Drawing from today’s Gospel, he reflected on how these two values—faith and service—are deeply connected.
Faith begins with believing that God is always with us, in both joy and hardship. A life of faith acknowledges God in all things—not just in words, but in daily actions. True faith is not hidden or passive; it actively shapes how we live and how we treat others.
Bishop Peñalosa reminded the faithful that faith is good, but it finds its fullest expression through service. When we serve others with love, humility, and no expectation of reward, we reflect the very heart of the Gospel. Service becomes more than a duty—it becomes a natural overflow of a life rooted in faith.
Faith should never remain private or stagnant. Instead, it calls us to step out, reach others, and be instruments of God’s grace. A faith that moves us to serve is a faith that transforms lives—both our own and those around us.
In the end, Bishop Peñalosa challenged everyone to live out their faith not just by believing, but by doing—by serving. Because when faith is real, service will follow.
