unpacks Jesus' comparison between temple worship and the living reality of faith in action. Drawing on insights from Pope Francis' "Dilexi te" and the recent statement from the US Bishops on migrants, this message highlights how authentic faith is intimately linked to concrete care for the poor and the preservation of human dignity, especially for immigrants. Through the lens of the Sunday readings (Luke, Paul, Malachi), discover our call to witness, advocate, and accompany the most vulnerable, finding the "sun of justice" for those fleeing violence and seeking hope.
