In this Sunday’s homily, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reflects on St. Paul’s urgent call: “In every place, the men should pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument” (1 Tim 2:8).

We live in a world filled with violence, division, and fatherlessness. The solution is not more anger, fighting, or shouting — it’s prayer. Men are called to lead with faith, humility, and hands raised to God, becoming witnesses of Christ’s peace in a broken world.

🙏 Take time this week to ask yourself:
Am I responding to problems with anger or with prayer?
Where is God asking me to lift my hands in intercession?
How can I model prayer and peace for those around me?

Be challenged. Be inspired. And most importantly — be a saint.
