God is the Source of Everything
In his Sunday Mass homily at Saint Michael Parish in Kalibo, Fr. Erel Villanueva reminded us of a powerful truth: God is the Source of Everything. From our talents and opportunities to the material blessings we enjoy, nothing truly belongs to us—it all comes from Him.
Moreover, Fr. Erel warned that covetousness, driven by greed, is not only displeasing to the Lord but also destructive to our relationships. When we allow greed to take root in our hearts, it leads us away from the peace and harmony that God desires for us.
Therefore, we should not exhaust ourselves chasing after things that hold no value in God’s eyes. While earthly possessions may seem important now, they lose all meaning at the end of our lives. In contrast, a heart centered on God and generosity reflects true spiritual wealth.
Consequently, we are called to live each day with the awareness that God is the Source of Everything we have. Let us use His blessings not merely for personal comfort but to bless and uplift others.
Ultimately, everything we do should point back to Him. Let us strive to live in a way that brings glory to God, who alone provides, sustains, and fulfills.
