Episode Synopsis

Monday Mass. 9.22.25.
In today’s homily, I reflect on how God used an unexpected figure—King Cyrus of Persia—to bring the Israelites back from exile and rebuild the temple. Even though Cyrus wasn’t a Jew, the Lord stirred his heart to fulfill His promise and restore His people. This reminds us that God is always at work in history, often in ways we don’t expect. Just as the Israelites were called to be a light in the midst of their trials, we too are called to let our light shine, trusting that God works through everything, even when we cannot see it.
