I enjoy sharing and writing down the homilies I've heard recently.

Homily from the Mass at Convento da Penha, May 5, 2026
In the First Reading from the Acts of the Apostles, we see Paul and Barnabas going through a difficult moment while proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus.

[L.B. Maford @LvxB83]

@lx7422686 Then pray one Our Father and one Hail Mary.
To conclude:
St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face, pray for us! 🌹🙏

[L.B. Maford @LvxB83]

@lx7422686 Then pray the Glory Be 24 times, with "St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus, pray for us" interspersed throughout the prayers:
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

@lx7422686 What a beautiful thing, it's wonderful to feel God's embrace.
May God bless you, and may Our Lady watch over you. 🙏

@SHINTARONG1123_ I hope your mother gets better soon. May the Virgin Mary be with her, and may God bless her recovery. 🙏

Joy all around this morning as Archbishop Domenico Battaglia displays the miraculously liquified blood of San Gennaro (Saint Januarius) on his feast day in the Cathedral of Naples.

[L.B. Maford @LvxB83]

May we have steadfast hearts, humble faith, and the courage to bear witness to Christ.
San Gennaro, pray for us.

[L.B. Maford @LvxB83]

September 19, Feast of San Gennaro

San Gennaro was a bishop and martyr, associated with the Church of Benevento and the city of Naples.
He lived in a time when publicly professing the name of Jesus could mean imprisonment, torture, and death.

but also gives us a profound freedom.
Although the Church has not officially recognized the liquefaction of his blood as a miracle, I choose to see this sign as one of closeness, protection, and hope. Once again, his blood liquefied today. May God's grace and blessings be with us

I had been thinking about writing on the Lindsay Clancy case through the symbolism of the Mater Dolorosa.

So I was genuinely delighted to find an English-language essay doing precisely that while citing my work and drawing on concepts I’ve been developing.

@lx7422686 As St. Louis de Montfort teaches us, Mary is the most perfect way to draw closer to her Son.

If you haven't read it yet, I think you would really enjoy True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, written by him.

God bless you.

[L.B. Maford @LvxB83]

@lx7422686 I understand what you were trying to express. I also recognize how Our Lady’s presence has been a source of comfort for the humble, the suffering, and so many people throughout the history of the Church. Your words show a genuine love for Mary.

@SHINTARONG1123_ Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Happy Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows.

@SHINTARONG1123_ “Is there one who would not weep,
Whelmed in miseries so deep,
Christ’s dear Mother to behold?” (Stabat Mater)

An image that represents not only sorrow, but also a shelter for those who have exhausted their hopes; a refuge for those who ask for nothing more, yet still cry out.
