“Okay lang.” Two simple words that sometimes hide struggles we never see. Behind a smile may be someone quietly longing to be heard and understood. This Sunday, reflect on what it truly means to love our neighbor—and why genuine compassion begins with noticing what often goes unspoken.

What is legal is not always what is right before God. When Jesus is confronted with a question about paying taxes to Caesar, He reveals a deeper truth about justice, conscience, and our responsibilities. Are we simply following human laws, or are we living according to God’s truth?

We are not owners, but caretakers of the gifts God has placed in our hands. This Sunday’s reflection invites us to live with gratitude, responsibility, and faithful stewardship.
