A special plenary indulgence is available on August 1st and 2nd each year!

Here is the story of the "Pardon of Assisi":

In July 1216, while praying in the Portiuncula chapel, St. Francis saw a vision of Jesus and Mary. When asked what he desired, he requested a full pardon for all who entered the chapel with sincere repentance and confession. Jesus granted it, instructing Francis to seek papal approval. Pope Honorius III granted the request—now known as the “Pardon of Assisi.”

Originally limited to the Portiuncula from the evening of August 1 to sunset on August 2, this plenary indulgence was later extended to all Franciscan—and eventually all Catholic—churches.

To receive the indulgence (from noon August 1st to midnight August 2nd), one must: visit a Catholic or Franciscan church with devotion, go to Confession and Communion within 20 days, recite the Apostles’ Creed and the Our Father, pray for the Pope’s intentions, and be free from attachment to sin.

This extraordinary grace, born of divine mercy and Franciscan humility, is available each year—not only for ourselves (the living), but also for the souls in purgatory (the deceased).

Our Lady of Knots pray for us...

[Rev .Vitus @Vitus_osst]

Today marks the 45th anniversary of the Medjugorje apparitions, which began on June 24, 1981. Our Lady appeared under the title "Queen of Peace," teaching that true peace is found only in God.

A related event occurred in Civitavecchia, Italy, where a small image of Our Lady of Medjugorje reportedly shed tears of blood 14 times between 1995 and 1996.

The most striking moment came when Bishop Girolamo Grillo, initially skeptical, witnessed the tears of blood, profoundly transforming his life.

For believers, this sign is a call to conversion, prayer, and return to God, reminding them of Mary's maternal intercession for humanity's peace

FATHER DOLINDO RUOTOLO
A Prophet of our Time

Father Don Dolindo Ruotolo was a Neapolitan priest stigmatized miracle worker and “mouthpiece of the Holy Spirit”.

Father Ruotolo had extraordinary communications with Jesus throughout his heroic life, a life that was totally devoted to God and Holy Mother Mary. He referred to himself as “the Madonna’s little old man” and the Rosary was his constant companion.

​Much of what our Lord wants flies in the face of normal human inclination and reason. We can only rise to this level of thinking through the grace of God and the help of the Holy Spirit.

We must let go of our problems, stop worrying, and trying to resolve them ourselves. We must believe, trust, and allow our Lord to rescue us from ourselves and supply our wants, needs and resolve our problems as only He can.

Jesus, You take care of it, should be the first words that come to mind and flow from our lips. After all, we have tried to do things our way and look where it has got us.

Just do as the prayer says, open our hearts and minds in love and close our eyes in trust, and ask Jesus to take care of it. He will.

On November 19, 1970 ,Don (Fr) Dolindo Ruotolo died at the age of 88. Padre Pio once said of this priest from Naples, Italy, The whole of paradise is in your soul. His name “Dolindo” means “Pain” and his life was rich with this pain. As a child, a teenager, a seminarian and a priest, he experienced humiliation, which was the realization of the prophetic words of a bishop who said You will be a martyr, but in your heart, not with your blood.

In his profound humility, he was able to hear the words of God. Even with his hidden life, he was one of the greatest prophets of the last century. He wrote to Bishop Hnilica in 1965 that a new John will rise out of Poland with heroic steps to break the chains beyond the boundaries imposed by the communist tyranny. On this postcard, he wrote words of consolation for Poland and all the countries suffering under the communist regime. This prophecy was realized in the papacy of John Paul II.

In his tremendous suffering, Dolindo became more and more a child who lived his self-offering to the Divine Father. I am totally poor, a poor nothing. My strength is my prayer. My leader is the will of God, which I let take me by the hand. My security over the uneven path is the heavenly mother Mary.

One of the treasures from the words that Jesus spoke to Dolindo was the teaching about total abandonment to God. In this novena, Jesus is talking to Don Dolindo and also to you.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a beloved Byzantine icon of Mary holding the Child Jesus. Brought from Crete to Rome in the 15th century, it was entrusted to the Redemptorists in 1866, who spread devotion to her throughout the world.

[Knights of Columbus @KofC]

On this day in 1917, the Blessed Mother appeared to three young shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal, with a message that still echoes today: pray, repent, and trust in God’s mercy.

Our Lady didn’t choose the powerful or the important. She chose children. And through them, she reminded the whole world of something simple and urgent. God is real, He loves us, and He is calling us back to Him.

In a world full of noise, her invitation is quiet but clear: Pray the Rosary. Turn your heart toward God. Don’t be afraid to begin again.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. 🙏
