Holding Up the Hands of Faith

Holding Up the Hands of Faith Today’s Homily centers on the theme of persistence in prayer and faith as a mission to be passed on. The Homily begins by contrasting today’s culture of instant gratification with the patient perseverance required in prayer. The first reading from Exodus illustrates this through Moses, whose raised hands during battle symbolize steadfast prayer and dependence on God. When his strength fails, Aaron and Hur support him . . . showing that prayer often needs the help and faith of others. Moses’ intercession prefigures Christ’s outstretched arms on the Cross, interceding for humanity. The second reading reminds believers, as Paul told Timothy, to “keep the faith” and pass it on . . . faith handed down like a relay baton from one generation to the next. On Mission Sunday, the Church calls every Christian to share and sustain that faith, not only through ordained ministry but also within families and communities. The Gospel challenges us to remain faithful and persistent in prayer so that, when Christ returns, He may still find faith alive on earth. Each believer is invited to ask: Will God find faith in me, in my family, and in my world? Listen to this Meditation Media.
