Pope Calls for Reflection and Balance This Summer
During a recent Mass, the Pope encouraged the faithful to take the summer as a time for reflection and to savor moments with loved ones, urging a balance between busyness and rest. He reflected on the story of Martha and Mary, emphasizing the importance of true prayer and welcoming the Lord into our lives. In addition, discussions on the teachings of these biblical sisters have been highlighted, focusing on hospitality and the joy of being present. As we approach the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, various reflections remind us to clear our calendars and appreciate the better parts of life, questioning how we find God in our humanity and urging a welcoming spirit towards the divine.
