WEEKLY REFLECTION
Do Not Give Up on God Because the Answer Is Delayed
08-16-2026 | Fr. Emmanuel Ogla, VCMy Dear Friends in Christ,
The readings of today bring us to one of the most beautiful truths of the Christian faith: God’s mercy is wider than our boundaries, and genuine faith is often found in unexpected places. Isaiah speaks of foreigners being welcomed into God’s house; St. Paul reminds us that God’s gifts and calling are irrevocable; and Jesus encounters a Canaanite woman whose persistent faith becomes an example for the Church.
