On Easter Monday, the Catholic Church celebrates what’s called “Monday of the Angel.” In many countries in Europe and South America, this day, also known as “Little Easter,” is a national holiday.

In a Vatican Radio recording in 1994, Pope John Paul II gave an explanation for Monday of the Angel:

“Why is it called that?” the pope asked, highlighting the need for an angel to call out from the depths of the grave: “He is risen.”

These words “were very difficult to proclaim, to express, for a person,” John Paul II said. “Also, the women that were at the tomb encountered it empty but couldn’t tell ‘he had risen’; they only affirmed that the tomb was empty. The angel said more: “He is not here, he has risen.”

The Gospel of St. Matthew puts it this way: “Then the angel said to the women in reply, ‘Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ Behold, I have told you” (Mt 28:5-7).

Forsaken Jesus, teach us to reach out to those who are suffering. And when we are suffering, soften our hearts to cry out for the help we need. May we hear and respond to the cries we hear, and cry out with faith when we feel forsaken. Amen. @CCCB_CECC #PalmSunday #HolyWeek

This Sunday, March 8, as the world observes International Women’s Day, we look to the "cloud of witnesses" who have shaped the faith since the beginning. 👑🕊️ Among the most revered are the women specifically named in the Roman Canon (the First Eucharistic Prayer), whose names have been chanted at the altar for over 1,500 years.

Through the intercession of these holy women, the Church continues to be built up in love, courage, and fidelity to the Gospel.

⁉️ Which of these powerful women is your favorite go-to saint? 🌹🙏✨

Lent 2026 begins on February 18th with Ash Wednesday and concludes on Holy Thursday, April 2nd, before the Mass of the Lord's Supper.

It is a time of renewal of baptismal promises at Easter through prayer, almsgiving, and fasting. It is a special occasion to practice charity through listening to the Word of God, conversion, and reconciliation.

Today, January 1st, is the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.

The title “Mother of God” goes back to the third or fourth century, but the Greek term Theotokos (“The God-bearer”) was officially consecrated as Catholic doctrine at the Council of Ephesus in 431, thus becoming the first Marian dogma. At the end of the Council of Ephesus, crowds of people marched through the streets shouting: “Praised be the Theotokos!”

This Catholic doctrine is based on the doctrine of Incarnation, as expressed by St. Paul: “God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law” (Galatians 4:4).

In its chapter on Mary’s role in the Church, Vatican II’s Dogmatic Constitution “Lumen Gentium” (“Light of the People”) calls Mary “Mother of God” 12 times.

On this day the Catholic Church also celebrates the World Day of Peace, a tradition established by Pope Paul VI and confirmed by Pope John Paul II.

Feast Day December 29th. Mementos of this saint are preserved at the cathedral of Sens. The feast of St. Thomas of Canterbury is now kept throughout the Roman Catholic Church, and in England he is regarded as the protector of the secular clergy.
