The Prayer That Brings Heaven Joy — Fr. David Klimek
The Prayer That Brings Heaven Joy — Fr. David Klimek
Jesus calls us to go beyond praying only for ourselves, our families, and those we love. In this powerful teaching, Fr. David Klimek reflects on the heart of Christ for the lost sheep—especially those who seem furthest from God. Heaven rejoices over one sinner who repents, and Christians are invited to participate in that mission by praying even for those whose sins disturb or repel us. True spiritual warfare is not simply about condemning evil, but about pleading for the conversion, liberation, repentance, and salvation of souls trapped in darkness.
Fr. David challenges us to examine whether our spiritual lives have become unconsciously self-centered. Prayer, sacrifice, and devotion are not meant only to secure our own spiritual good; they can become powerful acts of love offered for others. To live the Gospel radically is to desire what Jesus desires: that sinners return, that souls be rescued, and that even the most unexpected people find their way into the Kingdom of God. Who is the lost sheep God may be asking you to pray for today?

On the Memorial of St. Teresa of Ávila, Fr.
Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC, teaches us to remember the holy guardian angel whom God has assigned to each of us.
In today’s homily, Fr. Chris Alar reminds us that prayer is not just something we do—it is who we are called to be. It is the lifeline between our soul and God, the “raising of one’s mind and heart to God” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2559). Prayer is communication, relationship, and covenant. It is how we learn to love the Lord and conform our human will to His divine will.
