Monday, 10 November 2025; Saint Leo the Great, Pope, Doctor. Year C (I)
Readings at Mass
•First Reading: Ecclesiasticus 39:6–10
•
•Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 36(37):3–6,30–31 – “The just man’s mouth utters wisdom.”
•
•Gospel: Matthew 16:13–19 – “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church.”
Homily.
Main Point: Faith that Recognizes Christ Builds the Church
In the Gospel today, Peter makes a bold declaration: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” This moment marks the foundation of the Church. Peter’s faith, not his strength or intelligence, becomes the rock on which Christ builds His Church.
Saint Leo the Great, whom we celebrate today, lived this same truth. As Pope during difficult times, he defended the faith and led the Church with courage and wisdom. His strength came not from power, but from his deep trust in Christ the Lord of the Church.
Faith, then, is the rock on which God builds in Peter, in Leo, and in each of us. When we recognize Jesus as Lord in our own lives, we allow Him to guide our thoughts, actions, and relationships. Like Peter, we may not be perfect, but our faith can still hold strong through trials.
Concrete Example:
Think of a family that faces hardship but continues to pray and trust in God. Their faith, like Peter’s, becomes a rock that supports others their children, neighbors, and friends to also stand firm in hope.
The Way Forward
•Recognize Christ daily: Take a moment each morning to say, “Jesus, You are the Christ, my Lord and my strength.”
•Build others in faith: Encourage someone who is struggling to trust God again.
•Stand firm: Like Saint Leo, defend truth with love and patience, not anger or pride.
Summary / Main Point
Faith that recognizes Christ builds the Church and strengthens our lives.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, give me the faith of Peter and the courage of Saint Leo the Great. Help me to recognize You as my Lord every day and to build my life upon You, the Rock of salvation. Amen.
