The example of Saint Monica reminds us that persistent, hope-filled prayer bears fruit in God’s time. Let us carry this message into our lives, making sure that what we profess is truly reflected in how we live. I invite you to join us again tomorrow as we continue to grow together in God’s Word. If you have prayer requests, please share them with our community so we may pray for one another, especially for those carrying heavy burdens. May the Lord bless you abundantly and keep you steadfast in faith until we meet again. This Gospel reflection is 100% original—written, produced, and owned by The Word Today TV.
