Thursday of the Twenty-Fifth Week in Ordinary Time

Readings of the Day

RB: Ch 6 Restraint of Speech

Mass: Ecc 1:2-11; Resp Ps 90; Lk 9:7-9

In every age, Lord, you have been our refuge.

HEART OF JESUS, SOURCE OF ALL CONSOLATION,
HAVE MERCY ON US.

In today's Gospel, Herod, who was "greatly perplexed" (LK 9:7), "kept trying to see Jesus" (Lk 9:9). Are we as diligent in our search for God? It may help to keep in mind something Pope Francis said in a homily on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, June 27, 2014: "God is always present, in front of us, waiting for us. When we arrive, He's there. When we look for Him, He has already been looking for us. He is always in front of us, waiting to receive us in His heart, in His love."
