Fr. John Mary's Homily for July 26, 2026 - A Listening Heart - Solomon feels overwhelmed by decisions and responsibilities. We can experience that also today, especially with all the confusion in the Church. But the reading today shows us a divine opportunity for a hidden treasure: a listening heart.
"My little children, My little scattered flock; so attacked, so lulled into the slumber of indifference and unawareness. Help those who are still asleep, My beloved ones."

Jesus speaks: "CALL TO ME. LOOK AT ME. SAY MY NAME. Say it with Love, to cover the hatred and scorn with which others say it."

When we can’t pray… Distractions, fatigue, anxieties, boredom, dryness… We are human, and prayer can seem too hard. Inaccessible. St. Paul acknowledges our weakness and incapacity to pray. And reveals a simple, encouraging way of letting the Holy Spirit Himself pray within us.
