REEL HOMILIES
Do you have questions about the faith?
In these minute-long reflections, Father Tim will unpack the Sunday Gospel readings through the lenses of Church tradition, pop culture, and self-improvement. We hope these reflections serve to inspire your own thoughts on the Gospel and bring you closer to Christ, as well as bring a smile to your face.

Wi-Fi, Faith and Jesus
Faith is a lot like Wi-Fi. It isn’t the internet itself. Rather, it’s the signal that connects us to the source.
In this Sunday’s Gospel, the woman’s faith matters, but her faith is not what heals her daughter. Jesus heals her daughter. Faith connects her to Him, and He is the source of healing, miracles, and mercy.
That takes the pressure off of us. We don’t have to manufacture perfect faith to earn God’s help. We simply bring our faith to Jesus, stay connected to Him, and trust that He is the one who heals.
