Today is the feast day of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals

Giving up a life of wealth for one of poverty, he heard God’s call and went on to be one of the most venerated Catholic saints today. After fighting in a battle between Assisi and Perugia, Francis was captured and imprisoned for ransom. He spent nearly a year in prison — awaiting his father's payment — and began receiving visions from God. After his release from prison, he abandoned his life of luxury and became a devotee of the faith, his reputation spreading all over the Christian world. He established the Franciscan Order of friars and the women's Order of the Poor Ladies.

He designed the first nativity scene and was the first man ever recorded to receive the stigmata, the wounds of Christ.

He was canonised just two years after his death and is the patron saint of ecologists - a title honouring his boundless love for animals and nature.

In 2013, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergogli chose to honour St. Francis by taking his name, becoming Pope Francis.

27th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Gospel of St Matthew 21:33-43

Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people, ‘Listen to another parable. There was a man, a landowner, who planted a vineyard; he fenced it round, dug a winepress in it and built a tower; then he leased it to tenants and went abroad. When vintage time drew near he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his produce. But the tenants seized his servants, thrashed one, killed another and stoned a third. Next he sent some more servants, this time a larger number, and they dealt with them in the same way. Finally he sent his son to them. “They will respect my son” he said. But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, “This is the heir. Come on, let us kill him and take over his inheritance.” So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. Now when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?’ They answered, ‘He will bring those wretches to a wretched end and lease the vineyard to other tenants who will deliver the produce to him when the season arrives.’ Jesus said to them, ‘Have you never read in the scriptures:

It was the stone rejected by the builders
that became the keystone.
This was the Lord’s doing
and it is wonderful to see?

‘I tell you, then, that the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.’

Saturdays hold a special place among the days dedicated to the Virgin Mary and are designated as memorials of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

As an optional memorial, it allows us to reflect on the maternal example and discipleship of Mary, who remained steadfast in faith and hope, especially on that “great Saturday” before the Resurrection of Our Lord.

"On Saturdays in Ordinary Time, when no obligatory memorial is observed, an optional memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary is permitted.”

This tradition dates back to Carolingian times (9th century), although the precise reasons for choosing Saturday for this observance remain unclear. While various explanations have been proposed, none fully satisfies the historical understanding of popular piety.

Regardless of its origins, this memorial today highlights values that resonate with contemporary spirituality. It commemorates the maternal example and discipleship of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who, strengthened by faith and hope, remained vigilant on that “great Saturday” when Our Lord lay in the tomb.

She was the only disciple to hold vigil, awaiting the Lord’s resurrection. This memorial serves as a prelude to Sunday, the weekly celebration of Christ’s Resurrection, and as a reminder of the Virgin Mary’s continuous presence and active role in the life of the Church.

Holy Guardian Angels, pray for us! 🙏🏻

1️⃣ Feast of the Guardian Angels: The Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of Guardian Angels every year on October 2. This special day was officially established in 1670 by Pope Clement X, though the Church has honored Guardian Angels for centuries before.

2️⃣ Angels in the Bible: Guardian Angels are referenced throughout Scripture. In Matthew 18:10, Jesus tells us that the angels of children always behold the face of God in heaven. This reminds us that angels watch over us and act as our protectors and guides.

3️⃣ Catholic Tradition: The Church teaches that each person is assigned a Guardian Angel from the moment of birth. These heavenly companions stay with us for life, guiding us toward God's will and protecting us from harm, especially spiritual dangers.

4️⃣ Saintly Encounters: Many saints had profound relationships with their Guardian Angels. Padre Pio often spoke of his angel delivering messages. St. Gemma Galgani and St. Francis de Sales also reported visions or interactions with their angels, showing how close they are to us.

5️⃣ Prayers to Guardian Angels: Devotion to Guardian Angels has inspired many beautiful prayers. One of the most famous is the “Angel of God” prayer, which reminds us daily to ask for our angel's guidance and protection.

"Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen." 🙏

May we never forget the gift of these holy protectors who guide us toward heaven. ✨👼

The word rosary comes from the Latin 𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘴, which means “garland” or “bouquet of flowers.” It is an apt word for a bouquet of prayers offered to God. The word 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘥 is an Old English term that originally meant “a prayer.”

There has long been a tradition in the Church that St. Dominic de Guzman (1170-1221) is the source of the Rosary.

🙏 Pope’s Prayer Intention for October: For Mental Health Ministry

This October, Pope Leo XIV invites us to pray for those living with mental health challenges, and for the families, professionals and volunteers who accompany them.

May our Church be a safe and welcoming community that listens without judging, accompanies without excluding, and draws near without fear.

Let us pray that mental health care may become an integral part of the life and ministry of our communities, bringing dignity, hope and compassionate support to those who need it.
