11th Week of Ordinary Time C – Monday
Brothers and sisters, Saint Paul’s words today strike us with urgency: “Now is a very acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” He speaks not as one offering pious theory, but as one who has staked everything on Christ — enduring afflictions, hardships, beatings, and imprisonments. His tone is shaped by his encounter with the living Lord, and by his unwavering determination to follow the radical demands of the Gospel.
