Tuesday of the 22nd Week in Ordinary Time (Homily – September 2, 2025)

September 2, 2025 | Tuesday of the Twenty-second Week in Ordinary Time

Gospel: Luke 4:31–37

When Jesus speaks, demons scatter. In today’s Gospel, Christ enters the synagogue at Capernaum and awakens hearts with His voice of authority. Even the unclean spirit recognizes Him as the Holy One of God. But when evil breaks out, Jesus doesn’t argue or soothe. He commands: “Be quiet! Come out of him!”

We know those same whispers that try to rob us of peace: You’re not good enough. You’ll never change. Yet the Lord speaks a stronger word: Be quiet. Get out. His Word silences sin and drives it away—if only we’ll let Him. Will you let Him wake you from spiritual sleep and speak freedom into your life today?
