Thought for the day: The cry of the disciples to the Lord, “increase our faith,” resonates very much with us today. Is being a person of faith harder today than it has ever been? In one sense no: previous generations too had to struggle. But today has its particular challenges. For the most part, public discourse is against faith in general and against church in particular. It would be easy to lose heart. Just holding on to faith would be enough, not to mention growing!! We grow in faith by desire and by practice, desire for God and the practice of prayer. The times call us to focus on the heart of the Christian project, Jesus and the Gospel, and on the heart of discipleship, love and service. Prayer: “Lord, increase our faith!” Open our hearts to your presence in our lives.Amen. (Fr Kieran O’Mahony)
Pope Leo XIV on ‘X’: I am close to everyone, especially the poorest, affected by the exceptionally strong typhoon that has struck various parts of Asia. I pray for the victims, those who are missing, the many displaced families, and countless people who have suffered hardship, as well as for rescue personnel and civil authorities. I invite everyone to trust in God and to show solidarity.
