Do Not Stop Praying| +Bp. Romie- Jun Peñalosa| July 27, 2025

During the Sunday Mass homily at Saint Michael Parish in Kalibo, +Bp. Romie-Jun Peñalosa offered a timely and heartfelt message: do not stop praying. In today’s fast-paced world, we tend to want everything instantly—even in our spiritual life. As a result, we may rush through prayers or neglect them altogether. However, +Bp. Peñalosa reminded us that we must intentionally make time for prayer, whether in quiet moments alone or together in the celebration of the Mass. More importantly, Jesus Himself taught us how to pray. He encourages us to P.U.S.H. — Pray Until Something Happens. In other words, persistence in prayer is key. When we do not stop praying, we open ourselves to God's grace, trusting that He is not reluctant but fully willing to hear and respond. Furthermore, +Bp. Peñalosa explained that God answers our prayers in four ways: Directly, Through denial, With delays, or In a different way—a way that only God, in His infinite wisdom, understands. Therefore, whatever situation we find ourselves in, we must continue to approach God with faith. After all, He is able to do far more than we could ask or even imagine. Ultimately, prayer is our direct line of communication with the Father. So, do not stop praying. Come before Him daily. Pour out your heart. Trust in His perfect will. Because in prayer, we grow closer to God—and in persistence, we grow stronger in faith. 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time- July 27, 2025 First Proclamation- Genesis 18:20-33 Second Proclamation- Colossians 2:8-14 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 138:1-8 Gospel Reading: Luke 11:5-13 Homily by +Bp.
