A scribe asked Jesus to rank the whole Law. He gave two commandments in response: love God with everything you are, and love your neighbor as yourself. Everything else in Scripture hangs on these.

Father. Son. Holy Spirit.
Eternally distinct. Eternally one. Eternally pouring themselves out in love for one another, and for us.

In 1975 St. Paul VI gave the Church this line:
"Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses."
You don't have to argue your way to evangelization. You have to live your way there.

On Pentecost morning, the Holy Spirit descended on Mary and the apostles like a roaring wind and tongues of fire. They walked out of the Upper Room and preached and three thousand were baptized that day. The Church was born.

This May, we give thanks for four archdiocesan priests celebrating milestone jubilee anniversaries of priestly ordination. Their faithful service, leadership, and dedication to God’s people continue to be a blessing to our archdiocese. Join us in keeping them in prayer!

St. Rita of Cascia is called the "Saint of the Impossible" because her life looked impossible and she met it with prayer instead of bitterness. St. Rita, pray for us.

The next time anxiety closes around your chest, try Bernardine's remedy: simply whisper the name. Jesus.

The Church has never been promised an easy road.
Only a sure one.

The Ascension is not Christ's departure from us. It is his expansion into us. He is no longer bound by a single body in a single place. Through the Spirit who comes at Pentecost, he is now present in every tabernacle, in every prayer, in every act of love performed in his name.

[ArchdioceseOfDubuque @DBQArch]

So many of us carry burdens we have never actually placed before God in prayer. We assume He is too busy. We assume our concerns are too small, or too embarrassing, or too tangled to bring to Him. What is the one thing you have been carrying alone this week? Ask. Today.

In a culture that treats labor as a means to an end, Isidore reminds us that ordinary work, done with love, is itself a path to holiness. The plow can be an altar.
⁣
St. Isidore the Farmer, pray for all who work the land and for all who eat the food they grow.

St. Matthias was chosen by lot to replace Judas. Not by vote. Not by resume. By trust in the Holy Spirit. The early Church prayed together and then cast lots and God guided the outcome. Do you trust God in YOUR decisions?

[ArchdioceseOfDubuque @DBQArch]

Thank you for including Journey in Faith in your prayers on the second Wednesday of each month throughout 2026. Consider praying a Lectio Divina today: https://t.co/y1pMtlpGn8

On May 13, 1917, three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal, saw Our Lady for the first time. Her message: Pray the Rosary. Do penance. Consecrate your heart to her Immaculate Heart. 109 years ago... and the message hasn't changed. Are you listening?
