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.

In this compelling homily, Fr. Mark Baron MIC unpacked a profound truth at the heart of today’s Gospel: what it really means to belong to Jesus.
Fr. David Gunter, MIC, reflects on Jesus withdrawing by boat to pray amid chaos and violence. Christ shows us that, when we face fear, loneliness, confusion, or uncertainty, we should seek quiet time with God rather than allow fear to control us.
As we celebrate St. Francis of Assisi, Fr. David reminds us that true peace and unity do not come from human movements, but from conversion of heart. St. Francis lived a life of radical poverty, clinging only to the Cross of Christ. He owned nothing, desired no prestige, and sought only obedience to God and His Church. His mission was not to reform by revolt—but to rebuild by repentance.
