Tuesday of week 29 in Ordinary Time
Reading: Romans 5:12,15,17-21
Saint Paul reveals the heart of the Gospel in one profound truth: where sin once ruled, grace now reigns through Jesus Christ. Through one man’s disobedience, humanity fell into the shadow of death, but through Christ’s obedience, life and righteousness overflow beyond measure. Grace is not simply God’s pardon—it is His very life shared with us, transforming our weakness into holiness and our guilt into new beginnings. This reign of grace is not distant or abstract; it is a present reality that unfolds in every heart open to Christ. When we allow His righteousness to guide our choices, grace becomes the ruling force of our lives, leading us toward eternal life. Each day becomes an opportunity to live under this reign, letting mercy triumph over pride, love over selfishness, and peace over fear. Let’s reflect: Do I allow the grace of Christ to reign in my heart and actions, or do I still let sin, fear, or self-reliance rule my life?
