The Church is a Holy Nation. The Gospel is our constitution. Christ is our King. The Cross is our banner. Love is our weaponry. Prayer is our conversation. The Mass is our food and drink. Easter is our National Day. The Spirit is our Unity and our Life. The Father is our destiny.
It is he who forgives all your guilt, who heals every one of your ills, who redeems your life from the grave, who crowns you with love and compassion. NEVER doubt His love for you no matter the sin on your soul or sorrow in your heart. Go to Him and let Him love you!
St. Barnabas is the “son of encouragement”, glad when he sees what is good in us, exhorting us to be steadfast of purpose. In times of discouragement or doubt, pray to him for the grace of an uplifted heart and for eyes to see the hope ahead, Christ our Lord!
Elijah arose like a fire and was the fearless and uncompromising defender of the dignity and rights of the One True God against the idolatries of his time. Come back to us, Father Elijah, and cleanse our Western society of its idolatries! Proclaim once more the One True God!
The full treasure of the divinity dwells in Christ bodily. And it’s ours for the taking if we have the wisdom to see that any other treasure is worth losing for His sake.
The Lord protects those who are persecuted for His sake. Whether the persecution is open or subtle, it unites us to the Cross. From there, we can learn to forgive and pray for our persecutors and, lIke SS. Stephen and Paul, be one in eternal glory.

Ni mi familia es cristiana, ni he crecido en un entorno cristiano, he ido a un colegio laico y hasta que caí en la depresión Dios para mí era como el Liverpool, algo que está ahí, que no tiene nada que ver contigo, pero que respetas.
Con la depresión empecé a ir a la iglesia para hablar con mi difunto abuelo, y empecé a quedarme en las misas, empecé a aprender un poco de los evangelios. En un tiempo de tormento y oscuridad dentro de mí, donde me odiaba a diario, abracé a San Agustín o él me abrazó a mí, y empecé a tener fe y esperanza.
No soy el católico más leal ni ferviente, me gustaría ir a misa más de lo que voy, pero sí que sé que estoy en buen camino. En el proceso de crecer y conocerme y saber quién soy. He acogido en mí los valores del catolicismo y estoy contento de querer ser una persona que haga a Dios y a mi abuelo orgullosos de mí.
Ahora tengo un poco más de luz conmigo y el amor, la fe y la esperanza empiezan a acompañarme poco a poco, con mis recaídas y mis ánimos, pero no me siento solo, gracias a Dios.
Seventeen-year-old Patricia Adam is the second oldest of the 8 siblings who are all together at Pope Leo XIV’s Corpus Christi Mass in Madrid.
“For me, my Catholic faith is living a relationship with God and with Jesus… And living with my family and being here means a lot because it is not just a relationship one to one, but all together with God,” Patricia told @OSVNews
In His Eucharist, Christ offers us the opportunity for the healing and transformation of our entire lives and selves. Through us, He wants to transform humanity and the whole material world to become the dwelling place of the Trinity. Will we take that opportunity?
God is God, not of the dead, but of the living. To Him, all are alive. When therefore you fret for your loved ones who have died, remember that they are only dead to us who are mortal. If found to be worthy, they are in fact glorying now fully in the love of the Sacred Heart.
We bear the image and inscription deep in our hearts which hallmark us as the property of the Holy Trinity. Sometimes we have to wipe, sweep or scrape away the grime of sin and negativity which make us forget that. But forgetting it doesn’t change it!
To live, love and understand marriage and family as God intended it is to prepare for life in the Blessed Trinity. God is the original “marriage and family”. That’s why He created us in His image and likeness. To mess with marriage and family is to mess with God!
Let our Thursday mindset always lead us to remember “the night He was betrayed” and the institution of the Eucharist. The same expression of His same love for us “to the end” awaits with burning Heart in the Tabernacle.
The Giver surpasses all His gifts. These are only signs to lead us to Himself. So, let’s be detached from all His gifts, welcoming them as they come and surrendering them as they go. Thus our hearts will remain free, obedient and at peace.
