A Heart That Seeks God’s Wisdom - Homily 11th February 2026

King Solomon began his reign not by asking for power, wealth, or glory, but for a discerning heart to serve his people. Because his heart was rightly ordered, God granted him wisdom and blessed him with peace and honour as well. Yet his life also reminds us that when the heart strays from God, everything begins to crumble. In the Gospel, Jesus reminds us that true purity and peace come not from external observance alone, but from a heart transformed within. Whether we serve in ministry, leadership, or daily family life, the real question is this: are we cultivating a living spiritual life? Without prayer, without conversion, without reconciliation, we risk becoming efficient but empty. God does not only ask for our work, He asks for our heart. When our hearts are purified and anchored in Him, we rediscover peace, clarity, and the joy of serving.

Reflection Question: Where in my life do I need God to give me a more discerning and undivided heart?
