Faith is like a muscle: if we don’t use it, we can lose it. In this homily for the 20th Sunday, we reflect on the courageous woman in the Gospel who refused to give up as she begged Jesus for her daughter’s healing. Her persistence reminds us that faith grows when we exercise it—through prayer, intercession, trust, and bringing the needs of others before the Lord. We are invited to become a community that prays boldly: offering Mass for those we love, carrying one another’s names and intentions, and expecting God to move in His time and in His way. May we persist in exercising our faith until we hear the Lord say to us: “Great is your faith. Let it be done for you as you wish.” #CatholicHomily #CatholicFaith #Faith #Prayer #Intercession #HolyMass #SundayHomily #GospelReflection #JesusChrist #Cath
