Sunday in the Eleventh Week of Ordinary Time

We pray through the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time and sit with Saint Cyprian’s blunt, freeing reminder that God hears the heart more than the voice. We reflect on Scripture’s insistence that nothing is hidden from God and learn how humble, quiet prayer reshapes both personal devotion and liturgical worship. • offering the day to Jesus through Mary in union with the Mass • praying with calm, modest, disciplined words and posture • praying in secret because God is present everywhere • God searching hearts and desires rather than responding to noise • Anna’s silent prayer as a model of faithful trust • the tax collector’s humility contrasted with the Pharisee’s self-satisfaction • harmony of mind and voice in psalms and worship • valuing purity of heart and sorrow for sin over many words If you found this time of prayer and reflection fruitful and would like more opportunities to grow in your faith, consider joining the Cristeros and purchasing our publication, now available on Amazon.com. The Cristeros app is available on the Apple app and Google Play Store. More information on the Cristeros can be found at theCristeros.org. Send us Fan Mail
