In the #GospelOfTheDay (Mk 9:20-37), the Lord overturns the criteria about what truly matters: greatness and success in God’s eyes are measured by service. Not on what someone has, but on what someone gives. Do you want to be first? Serve.
"My God and my savior Jesus, what return can I make to you for all the benefits you have conferred on me? I make a vow to you never to fail, on my side, in the grace of martyrdom, if by your infinite mercy you offer it to me some day." St. John Brebeuf, pray for us.
20 years after the 9/11 terrorist attack, we remember the terrible fear and grief, but above of all we remember the acts of kindness, generosity and compassion we witnessed in the wake of unfathomable loss. Let us pray for unity and peace.
The people of Haiti are in our prayers today following the deadly earthquake. The loss of life and the suffering is great. We join in solidarity with the Haitian community in the Archdiocese of Boston praying for their loved ones in Haiti. @bostoncatholic
@josetorija_2 @CardinalBCupich This seems to mean that you could not ask anyone to “pray for me” or “pray for my friend”. But we do that all the time. We ask people to pray for us. How much more we should ask the Saints, our friends in heaven, to pray for us.

During summer time, let us learn how to take a break, turn off the mobile phone to gaze into the eyes of others, cultivate silence, contemplate nature, regenerate ourselves in dialogue with God. #GospelOfTheDay Mk 6:30-34
Sunday morn, July 25, SummerFest returns @saintbopny after Covid in 2020. I had no idea then that I would be the “visiting priest“ for mass at 11 AM. So it’s a Mass of Thanksgiving for all the kindness & blessings I received as pastor for 13 years. Thanks be to God! @Wardynskis
#PopeFrancis leading Angelus from Gemelli hospital, with a slightly weak voice. "Happy Sunday. Don't forget to pray for me. Have a good lunch and see you soon." Crowd responds, "Viva il papa."
Let us pray for all the sick that may no one be left alone, that everyone receive the anointing of listening, closeness and care. We can all give it with a visit, a phone call, an outstretched hand.
A look at some inner workings of the Cathedral’s 1875 pipe organ! The Andover Organ Co. has begun a modest, but important restoration project on two of the Great windchests.
Not to worry, you will still hear the organ at Mass while the work is ongoing!
