SUNDAY 9th AUGUST 2026
Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
When the disciples see Jesus walking on the water, he summons them to faith—a way of living that entails leaving behind our old way of measuring things and learning to see all in the light of the One who calls to us. Yet we should not be surprised that Christ often comes in ways that “underwhelm” us, as Elijah found out in the tiny whispering sound of God’s presence. For Jesus comes to us in simple ways, seen only with eyes of faith: the pouring of water over an infant’s head; a whispered conversation within a confessional; bread and wine consecrated in the middle of the day as the world rushes on. But when such faith takes hold of us, we want everyone to share in it, as Saint Paul testifies.
INTENTIONS
Pope Leo XIV has urged Catholics across the globe to join him this July in praying for respect for human life.
He released the monthly “Pray with the Pope” video on Thursday, which is prepared by the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network.
In his prayer, the Pope recognized that the Lord has created each of us in love and called us to live in fullness.
"Each person is a sacred gift that reflects your face," he said, "from the first instant of existence to the final breath of their journey on earth."
"Today," he continued, "we ask for the grace to recognise and protect the unique and unrepeatable value of every human being."
