About this episode

Fr. Matthew Lamoreaux discusses the importance of trusting in God's timing and the role of prayer and mercy in spiritual growth.

Homily for July 12th. 2026 | Marian Apostolate in Medjugorje 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. Divine Mercy teaches us that God never gives up on a soul. Even when someone seems far from Him; a child, spouse, friend, priest, or even ourselves, Jesus continues to sow His grace. 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. Readings for July 12th.2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/071226.cfm ★ Support this podcast ★
