More than a Petition, more than a Prayer

In this homily, Fr. Simon reminds us that Mother Mary's deepest desire is to lead us to her Son, Jesus. Prayer is not just about petitions. It's about worshipping God with trust and gratitude.Reflecting on the Eucharistic Adoration during Novena, Fr Simon encourages us to use those precious moments to simply gaze upon Jesus and say, “Lord, I believe in You. I trust in You.” Even amid pain and unanswered questions, worship opens our hearts to God’s presence and allows Him to embrace us.Drawing from his own vocation journey, Fr Simon shares how surrendering uncertainties to God revealed His guidance over time. God doesn't need lengthy prayers - just a sincere, trusting heart.As we bring our struggles before the Lord, may we also learn to worship Him in spirit and truth, confident that He is greater than every burden we carry.- Saturday Novena Devotion by Fr. Simon Tan, C.Ss.R. (20 June 2026)
