[U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops @USCCB]

Today, on the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, Pope Leo XIV blessed the pallium and placed it over the shoulders of new metropolitan archbishops at Mass in St. Peter's Basilica. Among the 35 archbishops were four from the United States: Most Rev. Mark S. Rivituso, Archbishop of Mobile; Most Rev. Ronald A. Hicks, Archbishop of New York; Most Rev. James R. Golka, Archbishop of Denver; and Most Rev. James F. Checchio, Archbishop of New Orleans.

The pallium, a band of white wool adorned with crosses, is worn over the shoulders and signifies an archbishop's unity with the Holy Father and his responsibility to care for the flock entrusted to him. In his homily, Pope Leo XIV called Sts. Peter and Paul builders of unity and servants of the truth in charity, an example for every shepherd and every Christian.

Please keep these archbishops in your prayers.

SS. John and Paul (362)

Roman brothers, they were invited by Julian the Apostate to be among his friends, and they refused. They were given ten days to deliberate and used them to give away all their possessions. Then they were arrested and martyred.

If you are going through a difficult time, you are not alone. Many saints also faced anguish, anxiety, and deep interior struggles. They can intercede for you in your times of difficulty.
The Church reminds us that the saints were not perfect people, nor were they untouched by human suffering. Many of them endured profound interior battles, but they found in God the strength to persevere. Because of this, they can be powerful intercessors for those experiencing mental health struggles today.
Here are some saints who can accompany you with their intercession in times of suffering:

This is so beautiful!

In a viral reel posted by the Diocese of Columbus, Ohio, a newly ordained Catholic priest was caught on camera expressing how he felt immediately after his ordination.

In the beautiful video, Father Zach Goodchild tearfully expresses his gratitude towards his childhood pastor. Father Goodchild thanks the priest with a heartfelt embrace and tells him he loves him.

“Thank you for being my pastor for all those years…thank you so much,” Father Goodchild says. He repeatedly thanks him with tears of joy.

Father Goodchild’s childhood pastor tells him he loves him, and Father Goodchild responds with, “I love you too.”

After he finishes speaking with his childhood pastor, Father Goodchild then receives his brother priests. He hugs each of them and expresses his gratitude.

The video received thousands of views and reactions across social media platforms. Here’s what some people said about it:

“I consider myself blessed to have attended this wonderful ordination service for Father Zachary,” Facebook user Jean Daley Reese commented. “The tears of gratitude in his eyes are a glory to our Eternal Father! This felt like a Holy event!”

“This is beautiful footage of an amazing moment,” Katie Buzenski Jones also said on Facebook. “Well done capturing the joy of a newly ordained priest and the joy of the seasoned priests welcoming him.”

“Imagine the rejoicing of the Angels. This young man is wearing God's armor. Bless his every move, Lord,” Facebook user Rodney Gunter added.

“Father Zach is one of the most caring, authentic, and humble human beings I have ever met,” an Instagram user wrote. “I know he is going to be an amazing priest, because those who pray the way he does always find the answers. I'm so blessed to know him and can't wait for his first Mass. God bless him and his work.”

“This is so beautiful and holy,” another Instagram user said. “May God bless your calling! Your church is praying for you and all our beloved priests!”

Let us pray for all newly ordained Catholic priests!
