BECOME PART OF OUR CATHEDRAL FAMILY
"We recognize that the Sacraments have a visible and invisible reality, a reality open to all the human senses but grasped in its God-given depths with the eyes of faith." (USCCB) The Sacraments are divided into: the sacraments of Christian initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist); the sacraments of healing (Penance and Anointing of the Sick) and the sacraments at the service of communion and mission (Holy Orders and Matrimony). The sacraments touch all the important moments of Christian life. All of the sacraments are ordered to the Holy Eucharist “as to their end" (Saint Thomas Aquinas).

​
INTRODUCTION:
​
Welcome! ​
​Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, welcome to our celebration of the 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Today’s liturgy calls
us to shine as light and salt in the world through acts of compassion and faith in God’s power.
​
First Reading: Isaiah 58:7-10: We hear from Isaiah about true fasting: sharing bread with the hungry, sheltering the homeless, and clothing the naked. Such justice
brings healing light into our lives and dispels our darkness.
​
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 2:1-5: St. Paul reminds us he proclaimed Christ crucified not with eloquent wisdom, but in weakness, so our faith rests on God’s power alone.
​
Gospel: Matthew 5:13-16: Jesus teaches that we are the salt of the earth and light of the world—let your good deeds glorify our
Father in heaven.

FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME REFLECTION
​​
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
In Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus challenges us to be salt that preserves and flavours society, and light that guides without hiding—timely words as Grenada marks its 52nd anniversary of independence, under the theme "Grenada at 52: Anchored in Faith, Guided by Purpose".
Grenada gained freedom from Britain in 1974 after centuries of colonial struggles, including slavery and unrest, yet faced
post-independence trials like the 1979 coup and 1983 killings and invasion. Like salt preventing decay, we Grenadians are
called to safeguard our hard-ern sovereignty through moral integrity, resisting corruption or division that could erode our
progress—just as Jesus warns against tasteless salt trampled underfoot.
"A city on a hill cannot be hidden," Jesus says, echoing Grenada's role as a beacon in the Caribbean. Our independence
celebrations—with parades, church services, and cultural events at the National Stadium—shine our faith-rooted identity worldwide. By letting good deeds glorify God, we light paths for our youth, fostering unity and purpose amid modern
challenges like economic recovery.
This Gospel ties directly to Isaiah 58:7-10 mandate to feed the hungry and shelter the homeless, urging Grenada to embody independence through justice: supporting vulnerable families, aiding disaster-affected communities and building an equitable
Spice Isle. As we celebrate 52 years anchored in faith, let's be bold salt and radiant light, drawing our nation to Christ's transformative love
​
