Cathedral of Saint Michael Kalibo Sermons

In his homily this Sunday, Bishop Romie-Jun Peñalosa reminded us that Holy Week is a sacred time to focus on what truly matters—our relationships: with God, with our family, and with our friends.

Mercy always triumphs over judgment. He emphasized that God carries out His judgment through His compassion.

In his Sunday Mass homily at Saint Michael Kalibo, +Bp. Romie-Jun Peñalosa reminded us that God is a loving Father. He is always in pursuit of His people, continually working to reconcile us to Himself. God desires to renew our lives and guide us to live in His ways, so that we may share in His divine life.

Repentance is not just about turning away from sin; it's about choosing to be with God.

The central message of today’s Gospel is to let go of anything that hinders our journey to follow Jesus. During this Lenten season, it is an opportunity to purify our hearts and reflect His light in our lives each day.

In his Sunday Mass Homily at Saint Michael Kalibo, +Bp. Romie-Jun reminded us to walk in the path that God has prepared for each of us. The season of Lent calls us to refocus our hearts on God, inviting us to leave behind old habits and devote ourselves more fully to Him.

In his homily at Sunday Mass in Saint Michael Kalibo, +Bp. Romie-Jun Peñalosa encouraged us to shine the light of Jesus. On this Transfiguration Sunday, we celebrate how God reveals the glory we are destined to inherit. When we choose to follow Jesus, He transforms us into His image and likeness.

Walking in love is the highest form of being blessed, as anything done without love is meaningless.

When we trust in the Lord and hold on to the hope He provides, it leads to true joy — the blessings that Jesus designed for our lives.

God Blesses Those Who Seek The Truth. When God enters our lives, He doesn't wait for permission—He pours out His grace abundantly.

In his Sunday Homily at Saint Michael Kalibo, Fr. Erel Villanueva emphasized the powerful message that we are an offering to God.
