Want to Change the World? Do This One Thing First | Sunday Homily 7.20.25 | Fr. Jonathan Meyer

What if the most powerful way to change the world… is to stop and be still?

 

In this week’s homily for the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Meyer reflects on the Gospel of Martha and Mary—and shares a personal story that forever changed his understanding of real work. From a freezing night in Minnesota to the spiritual depths of Carmelite prayer, Fr. Meyer invites us to discover what it truly means to choose “the better part.”

 

At the heart of this message is an invitation:

🕊️ To sit at the feet of Jesus.

🕊️ To listen.

🕊️ To allow ourselves to be seen, known, and loved.

 

Featuring reflections on hospitality, intimacy, and the contemplative life, this homily challenges our modern addiction to busyness—and calls us into a deeper, quieter revolution: the power of prayer.
