"Taking part in the Eucharistic sacrifice, which is the source and summit of the whole Christian life, they offer the divine victim to God, and offer themselves along with Him." Lumen Gentium, No. 11
Ave María, grátia pléna, Dóminus técum. Benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus frúctus véntris tui, Iésus. Sáncta María, Máter Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus nunc et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen
Today is the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day
150 000 soldiers landed in the beaches of
Normandy with the support of 200 000 naval personnel.
5000 men lost their lives on the first day while storming the beaches.
The largest amphibious invasion in human history began in the dark.
At dawn on June 6, 1944, nearly 7,000 vessels carrying 160,000 Allied troops closed in on the beaches of Normandy.
Through courage and sacrifice, they secured a foothold in Nazi-occupied France and began the liberation of Western Europe.
Today, we honor the heroes of D-Day.
On this 1st Saturday of June let us ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to intercede for us through her Immaculate Heart that we may be drawn closer to the Sacred Heart of her Son, Jesus Christ.
The NASCAR family is saddened by the loss of Ned Jarrett, a NASCAR Hall of Famer, two-time Cup Series champion and one of our sport's greatest ambassadors.
We extend our deepest condolences.
For the past four years, Deacon Jacob Derry has studied for the priesthood at the Pontifical North American College in Rome. Tomorrow morning he will be ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Lansing. His chalice was purchased from a Roman jeweler. It is over 100 years old and originates from Lyon, France. In what way does this sacred vessel reflect the sacred priesthood? Watch as Deacon Jacob explains.
"Let us be neither dogs that do not bark, nor silent onlookers, nor paid servants who run away before the wolf. Instead, let us be careful shepherds, watching over Christ's flock." Saint Boniface (675 - 754)
