Homily for Tuesday
Week 1 of Ordinary Time
Jan. 13, 2026
1 Sam 1: 9-20
Christian Brothers, St.
Joseph Residence, N.R.
“Hannah rose after a meal at Shiloh and presented herself before the Lord” (1 Sam 1: 9).
Hannah’s miserable. Family members mock her. Altho he feels for her, her husband doesn’t
understand her. God’s high priest
misjudges her.
But she prays.
She prays ardently. She puts
herself and her hopes into God’s hands.
Hannah’s faith and openness to God enable her to
become God’s instrument, to become Samuel’s mother.
Our own ardent, trusting prayer allows God to work
in us, and thru us to benefit his people.
