This weekend at Mass, we'll hear how Jesus teaches his disciples to be open (be “rich soil”) to the often mysterious meaning of the parables about the kingdom of Heaven. Are you someone who is open to new or different ideas?

See you at Mass!

Virtues, EXPLAINED!

Empathy describes our ability to connect emotionally with the suffering of others, as Christ connected emotionally with our suffering in original sin. This virtue flows directly from the virtue of charity, and growth in charity will enable growth in empathy.

INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK

Whoever receives the one sent in Christ’s name receives Christ. Whoever loves the Word of God loves God Himself. Who is Christ sending to you in his is name this week? What Word do they speak into the stillness of your soul? Receive them. Receive him.

Virtues, EXPLAINED!
When a person hears a “call,” he cannot simply go — he must first figure out where the call is coming from. It’s not enough to simply have an idea; the idea needs a good, thorough background check. This is discernment.

Today, we honor those who first lost their lives for the faith — the First Martyrs of the Holy Roman Church.
Jesus sets a high standard for those who choose to follow him. What have you found most rewarding about following Jesus?

Today we celebrate the Feast of Sts Peter and Paul, honoring their martyrdom in Rome and their witness to the early Church. Though very different in character, their friendship & shared mission helped strengthen God's people & shape the Church.

Sts. Peter and Paul, pray for us!

This upcoming Sunday, we hear in the Gospel reading, "Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." (Mt 10:39)

See you at Mass!

Virtues, EXPLAINED!

In being affable, we make ourselves friendly, approachable, and agreeable to those around us, regardless of how they make us feel. “How good and how pleasant it is when brothers dwell together as one,” writes King David in Psalm 133.

Today is the Nativity of St. John the Baptist. Did you know that his birthday is one of only three celebrated by the Church? The others are Jesus Christ and Mary.

St. John the Baptist, pray for us!

LIVE THE LITURGY -

“What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light.” We all hear God’s voice whispering in our hearts. Discipleship means speaking those words out loud. We all feel the Spirit sing into our souls. Discipleship means that we dance to the tune.

Today is Juneteenth! In the United States, this holiday is an important reason to celebrate, as it marks the true end of slavery. It commemorates when federal troops enforced emancipation in Texas, making it a kind of “second Independence Day” for many. Thank God for freedom!
