You too can honour the man behind the Sagrada Família as St Mary’s is hosting ‘Gaudí: God’s Architect’ tomorrow at 7.30pm. Tickets available at the door.

Today, June 10, 2026, Pope Leo XIV knelt at the tomb of Antoni Gaudí inside the Sagrada Família crypt. Exactly 100 years ago today, Gaudí was struck by a tram a few blocks from this basilica and died three days later. He was 73.

He is buried right here, in the crypt of the church he spent 43 years building. A church that still wasn't finished when he died.

Gaudí was so devoted to the Sagrada Família that in his final years, he lived in the workshop on site and gave up most of his possessions. The Vatican is now on a path to declare him a saint. Pope Francis named him "venerable" in April 2025, the first official step toward canonization.

Today, the new pope came to Barcelona not just to inaugurate the Tower of Jesus Christ, the tallest church spire in the world at 566 feet. He came to honor the man behind it all.

“Aspire not to have more, but to be more.” — Oscar Romero

The kingdom measures differently.

In a world that often encourages us to chase more — more success, more possessions, more recognition — this wisdom from Oscar Romero invites us to consider a different path.

The way of Jesus is not centered on what we accumulate, but on who we are becoming. More compassionate, courageous, generous, and rooted in love.

Our worth is not determined by what we have, but by how we live and who we become.

What is one way you feel invited to focus less on having more and more on becoming more?

❤️ Saint Teresa Margaret saw devotion to the Sacred Heart as love returned for love.

For her, the Heart of Jesus was not a sentimental image but the center from which the eternal Word has loved us from all eternity.

To love Christ is also to love the members of his Mystical Body, not with vague emotion, but with charity rooted in God.
