The Power of Prayer - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon
Friends, when something tragic happens and people offer their prayers, you’ll often hear now, “I've had it with thoughts and prayers. We have to act.” In some extreme cases, people of prayer are mocked, as though prayer is just something completely ineffectual that we should leave behind in favor of action. We’re the first generation in recorded human history ever to feel this way. Human beings, across cultures, have always believed in the power and efficacy of prayer. Our first reading this week from Exodus 17 beautifully displays this power—and the fact that prayer, far from undermining action, sustains and supports it.

Mass Readings:
Reading 1 — Exodus 17:8-13
Psalm — Psalm 121:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8
Reading 2 — 2 Timothy 3:14-4:2
Gospel — Luke 18:1-8
