With 2026 approaching quickly, it can be easy to jump ahead and plan all of our resolutions and promises that we will strive to uphold over the next 365 days.
-
However, we encourage you to take a moment and reflect on all that has happened in your life in 2025. Pause and call to mind the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Try to think of at least 5 blessings the Lord has bestowed upon you, and at least 5 times He carried you through hardship - and tell Him thank you.
-
This can help us be more present with our Lord going forward, having been reassured that He remains true to His promise to always be with us.
-
That being said, let us know what some of your resolutions for 2026 are below! 👇

LATIN LYRICS:

Tota pulchra es, Maria.
Et macula originalis non est in Te.
Tu gloria Ierusalem.
Tu laetitia Israel.
Tu honorificentia populi nostri.
Tu advocata peccatorum.
O Maria, O Maria.
Virgo prudentissima.
Mater clementissima.
Ora pro nobis.
Intercede pro nobis.
Ad Dominum Iesum Christum.

ENGLISH LYRICS:

You are all beautiful, Mary,
and the original stain [spot] (of sin)
is not in you.
You are the glory of Jerusalem,
you are the joy of Israel,
you give honor to our people.
You are an advocate of sinners.
O Mary,
Virgin most intelligent,
Mother most merciful.
Pray for us, plead for us,
To the Lord Jesus Christ.

Fr. Ken shares the story of Revelation 12, how Satan worked to sow chaos in the world after the birth of Christ. He will do anything to keep our hearts and minds turned away from Jesus, especially this time of year.

As this Advent season draws to a close, Fr. Ken shares interesting insight on the connection between the fabric used to wrap Christ in after His birth and that used for sheep designated for sacrifice in the temple.

Yesterday the Church celebrated the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. If you are not Catholic, or perhaps have recently returned to the faith, you may ask what about this deserves a celebration?
-
The Church teaches that Mary was conceived free of original sin by the merits of Christ’s sacrifice on Calvary. In this great act of mercy, God set Mary apart to be used as a pure vessel to bear His only Son into the world.

What is the most ornate or unique reliquary you’ve had the chance to see in person?

Ever heard of an ossuary? ☠️
-
While visiting one may not be on the top of the bucket list for the faint of heart, the cultural and spiritual significance of them for early Christians makes them still deeply important to the Church today.

The Fathers of Mercy wish you a blessed feast of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a 17th-century French nun who was called by Christ to spread the message of His Love and Mercy throughout the Church. She, along with St. Faustina Kowalska, are largely associated with the devotions to Divine Mercy and the Sacred Heart of Jesus - two intertwined messages of God’s goodness that the Fathers of Mercy seek to promote.

[Fathers of Mercy @FathersofMercy]

Obedience born of humility. Two crucial roles at play in the story of our salvation. When we look at Satan’s rejection of serving God, we can see a similar theme in the rejection of the just and proper authority found within God’s established and visible Church here on Earth.

[Fathers of Mercy @FathersofMercy]

“That others may be esteemed more than I,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.”
-
These words from the Litany of Humility may be easy to repeat, but hard to live out. How often have we voluntarily let our good deeds go unnoticed? How often have we given credit that was due to us fall in someone else’s lap?
-
In a world that fights for the attention and admiration of others, reflect where in your state in life you can practice this humility. Ask God to give you the grace to find these chances, and the grace to practice it.
