Today, we celebrate the Feast of Blessed Imelda Lambertini, the young Dominican blessed who showed a deep love for Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. ✨🤍

At a very young age, Bl. Imelda longed to receive Holy Communion and desired nothing more than to be united with Christ. Her faith, purity, and devotion continue to inspire children, communicants, and all the faithful to love the Eucharist wholeheartedly.

“Tell Jesus that I want to be with Him.”
— Blessed Imelda Lambertini

May Bl. Imelda intercede for all First Holy Communicants, that they may always remain close to Jesus and grow in holiness each day. 🙏

Happy Feast Day, Blessed Imelda Lambertini!
Patroness of First Holy Communicants ❤️

It has been customary for the Church to invoke the Blessed Virgin Mary under titles such as Mediatrix, thereby indicating the continuing saving role of her maternity in the order of grace, for "by her many acts of intercession she continues to gain for us gifts of eternal salvation." (Lumen Gentium, 62)

Blessed Humbert of Romans declares that "the Blessed Virgin was of great help in the beginning of the Order... and it is to be hoped that she will bring it to a good end." (Opera II, 70-71). From its foundation, the Order has not hesitated to acknowledge the Patronage of the Blessed Virgin, to continuously experience it and to commend it to the hearts of the brothers and sisters, so that encouraged by this maternal help they might adhere more closely to their Mediator and Redeemer as they labor to carry out their mission of salvation in the world (see: Lumen Gentium, 62).

Until the recent restoration of the liturgical calendar, the Order celebrated the Patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary on December 22, the anniversary of the approval of the Order by Pope Honorius III (December 22, 1216). Keeping in mind the special character of the weekdays of Advent which take precedence over all memorials, it was suggested that the commemoration of this patronage be celebrated on May 8, during the month which is specially dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and on the day when she is honored under similar titles in other proper liturgical calendars.

— PRAYER —

FAITHFUL AND MERCIFUL GOD, you entrusted the Order of Preachers to the special protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In our present life she is our life, our sweetness, and our hope; may she graciously show us Jesus, your Son, in the life to come. He lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

In many images of St. Vincent Ferrer, he is often depicted with wings.

One story behind this image says that while he was preaching before great multitudes, he suddenly assumed wings and flew away. It was said that he had gone to assist someone who was suffering or in urgent need. After helping the person, he would then return in the same manner and continue his sermon as if he had never left.

The other story—more widely known—connects his wings not to a physical miracle, but to his mission and message. St. Vincent was famous for preaching about the “last things”: Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell, urging people to repent and prepare their souls. Through this powerful style of preaching, many were deeply moved, turning away from sin, returning to the sacraments, and converting their lives back to God.

While preaching at Salamanca before several thousand listeners, St. Vincent declared: “I am the Angel announced by St. John in the Apocalypse, that Angel who shall preach to all peoples, to all nations, in every tongue, and say to them: ‘Fear the Lord, and give Him honour, because the hour of His judgment is come.’”

This, he believed, was the task entrusted to him when the Lord Jesus Christ, together with St. Francis and St. Dominic, appeared to him on October 3, 1396, in Avignon.

Whether understood as a miraculous sign or a symbol of his divine calling, the wings of St. Vincent Ferrer remain a powerful reminder of the urgency of his preaching and his role as the Church’s fearless messenger of repentance—one whose words brought countless souls back to God.

Happy Birthday, Sis Rose! 🌹

On this Labor Day, we also celebrate the work of your life—how you use your talents and always offer them back to God. Your example leads others to do the same, turning everyday gifts into a way of evangelization. Through you, people are reminded that all we have is meant to serve Him.

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace.”
— 1 Peter 4:10

May God continue to bless the work of your hands and the intentions of your heart. May your gifts keep drawing others closer to Him, in the spirit of truth and service.

Wishing you strength, joy, and many more years of meaningful mission. 🙏
