The readings for this Sunday remind us that God sees the heart. He listens to those who are humble and cries out for justice. He does not turn away from the poor or the weak. Instead, He cares for those who trust Him. This Sunday shows us further the difference between pride and humility. Humility involves recognizing our true place in relation to God and others, avoiding arrogance, and admitting when we are wrong.

Dear Father L
We live in a world where technology dominates almost every aspect of our daily lives. Phones, tablets, and laptops are not just tools anymore, they have become extensions of our very selves. They connect us with family and friends, guide us through work and school, and give us access to information at lightning speed. While these devices hold the potential for great good, they also carry the dangers of distraction, addiction, and even spiritual harm. There will always be the tendency for the devil to use these gadgets to urge us to do evil. Can we bring our cell phones and other communication gadgets to be blessed by our priest?
