“Happy is he who lives and dies under the protection of the Blessed Virgin.”

St. John Vianney

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

God favors smallness, a sign of his discreet love, by which he leaves us free to accept or reject him. His love makes its presence felt even among the weeds, acts in a hidden and invisible way like the smallest of all seeds, and leavens the dough without making a sound. #GospelOfToday (Mt 13:24–43)

† St. Padre Pio says:

“Remember this: The sinner who is sorry for his sins, is closer to God than the just man who boasts of his good works.”

† St. Padre Pio says:

“If you should fall, be humble, make a resolution to be submissive to God's will ..... then get up and carry on.”

“Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’” (Joel 2:17). The prophet Joel’s question is like a goad. It reminds us of considerations from those who look at the people of God from the outside. #Lent urges us to change direction, to convert, so that our witness may be more credible.

Gospel of the Day (Mark 7,31-37)

Jesus left the district of Tyre and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, into the district of the Decapolis.
And people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment and begged him to lay his hand on him.
He took him off by himself away from the crowd. He put his finger into the man's ears and, spitting, touched his tongue; then he looked up to heaven and groaned, and said to him, "Ephphatha!" (that is, "Be opened!")
And (immediately) the man's ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly. He ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more he ordered them not to, the more they proclaimed it.
They were exceedingly astonished and they said, "He has done all things well. He makes the deaf hear and (the) mute speak."

Gospel of the Day (Mark 4,35-41)

Leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat just as he was. And other boats were with him. A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already filling up. Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?" He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Quiet! Be still!" The wind ceased and there was great calm. Then he asked them, "Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?"

"Communion is the source of life and fountain of grace. It forgives venial sin and weakens the hold of selfish desires. It strengthens the weak, restores health to the sick, increased virtue, makes grace abound, purges away vices and refreshes the soul." - St. Thomas Aquinas

“The Eucharist is the sacrament of love, the sign of unity, the bond of charity.” - St Thomas Aquinas

Gospel of the Day (Mark 1,40-45)

A leper came to him and kneeling down begged him and said, "If you wish, you can make me clean." Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched him, and said to him, "I do will it. Be made clean." The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean. Then, warning him sternly, he dismissed him at once. Then he said to him, "See that you tell no one anything, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them."

God does not look upon the world from afar, unconcerned with our lives, our troubles or our expectations! He comes among us with the wisdom of His Word made flesh, drawing us into His wondrous plan of love for all humanity.
