<p>We meet Elijah, the greatest of Israel&#39;s prophets today exhausted after his battle with Baal&#39;s prophets. Strangely, after his most climactic victory, after winning the heart of Israel over from Baal, Elijah crashes, losing even the will to live. Why does he fail now? Is it inevitable that we will fail in this way? And where can we find the strength to get up when we fall?</p>

26th Sunday_Because he was in the form of God

Hello there. I'm Fr Rajiv, a priest of the Diocese of Westminster, UK. These are my Sunday homilies. They were originally published on my blog, started over the first lockdown. These are just my personal reflections (you might find echoes of the saints and great preachers, ancient and modern, from whom I've freely borrowed!). I also apologise, the posts are auto-converted, and somewhat rough around the edges. You can reach me at rajiv.castingfire@priest.com. God bless.
