Thought for the day: As disciples, we all need a kind of personal “rule of life”, and we are supported by the community of faith and its practices. But the externals of religions, the very supports we need, risk becoming merely cultural, an empty shell, if our heart is not in it. All three readings this Sunday underline the point: Pure, unspoilt religion is this: coming to the help of orphans and widows when they need it.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, you know the human heart, that most devious thing of all (Sir 42:18; Jer 17:9). Help us to know ourselves. Help us to grow in integrity, rooted in purity of heart. Help to serve our neighbour in need with undivided hearts that we may come before you in heartfelt praise and thanksgiving. Amen.
Pope Francis on X: Jesus asks you for a gaze that does not stop at outward appearance. He asks you to look at the heart with a gaze that is not judgmental but welcomes others. For love alone heals life.
Pope’s Intentions for September: We pray that each one of us will hear and take to heart the cry of the earth and of victims of natural disasters and climactic change, and that all will undertake to personally care for the world in which we live.
