The Harvest Takes Time: Trust God's Perfect Timing
The Harvest Takes Time: Trust God's Perfect Timing
Fr. Matthew Lamoureux's homily beautifully echoes two of the greatest spiritual messages of our time: trust in Divine Mercy and Our Lady's call in Medjugorje to conversion through prayer and perseverance.
The Gospel reminds us that God is the Sower, but the condition of the soil determines how fruitful His Word becomes. God's mercy is patient. He waits. He pursues. He never stops calling a soul back to Himself.
This is why Fr. Matthew tells us not to try to "fix" people. Our role is to become fertile soil through prayer, sacrifice, Confession, the Eucharist, and acts of charity. Our prayers become the soil in which God's mercy can take root in the lives of those we love.

Father Chris Alar, MIC, draws us into the dramatic Gospel scene of the paralytic lowered before Jesus and reveals why this passage speaks so clearly of the Sacraments of the Church. What Jesus responds to first is not the man’s condition, but faith — specifically, the faith of those carrying him. “When Jesus saw their faith” (Mk 2:5; NABRE), He forgives sins before He heals the body.
