This episode focuses on a challenging message from the Gospel for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Father Isaac Fernandes reflects on Jesus' radical call to remove anything that causes sin, using vivid metaphors like cutting off a hand. He discusses how early Christians, like Origen, took extreme measures to live a life of devotion, but Father Isaac emphasizes that Jesus’ words should be understood metaphorically, encouraging us to be ready to remove even good things from our lives if they lead us to temptation.
