𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘 | Today, we honor Saint Roch (Saint Rocco), faithful pilgrim, miracle worker, and compassionate servant of those suffering from illness.

Born into a noble family in Montpellier, France, in the fourteenth century, Saint Roch dedicated his life to serving God and those in need. After the death of his parents, he gave away his possessions and set out on a pilgrimage to Rome. During his journey through Italy, he encountered communities suffering from a devastating epidemic and devoted himself to caring for the sick, with many being healed through his prayers. When he later became ill himself in Piacenza, he was abandoned and left to suffer, but God provided help through a faithful dog and its owner who cared for him. Upon returning home, Saint Roch was imprisoned and died in captivity. His life of charity and trust in God has made him a beloved patron saint of pilgrims, surgeons, and those seeking protection from epidemics and disease.

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘 | Today, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, honoring the glorious mystery of Mary being taken body and soul into Heaven at the end of her earthly life.

The Assumption celebrates the Church’s teaching that the Blessed Virgin Mary, by a special grace from God, was preserved from the corruption of the tomb and was taken into the glory of Heaven, following the example of her Son, Jesus Christ. Although this belief has been held by Christians for centuries, it was officially declared a dogma of the Catholic Church by Pope Pius XII in 1950 through the Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus. This solemn celebration reminds us of Mary’s unique role in salvation history and gives hope to all believers in the promise of eternal life with God.

𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆, Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Queen of Heaven, pray for us. Help us to follow your example of faith, humility, and obedience to God’s will. May the celebration of your Assumption strengthen our hope in the resurrection and inspire us to seek the glory of Heaven through lives of love and devotion to Christ.

Blessed Virgin Mary, assumed into Heaven, pray for us!

Pope Saint John Paul II declared him the “Patron Saint of Our Difficult Century.”

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘 | Today, we honor Saint Lawrence, deacon, martyr, and courageous witness to Christ, who remained faithful to the Gospel even unto death.

Saint Lawrence served as one of the seven deacons of the Church in Rome during the third century. Entrusted with the care of the Church's treasures and the service of the poor, he faithfully carried out his ministry with charity and humility. During the persecution under Emperor Valerian, Saint Lawrence was ordered to surrender the Church's riches. Instead, he presented the poor, the sick, and the needy, declaring them to be the true treasures of the Church. For his unwavering faith and bold witness, he was condemned to death and suffered martyrdom on a gridiron in A.D. 258. Even in the midst of his suffering, tradition recalls his remarkable courage and holy humor, as he said to his executioners, "You may turn me over; I am done on this side." Saint Lawrence is honored as the patron saint of deacons, cooks, librarians, archivists, and comedians.

𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘆, Saint Lawrence, faithful deacon and glorious martyr, pray for us. Teach us to serve Christ with generous hearts, especially by caring for the poor and those in need.

May your joyful witness inspire us to live lives of charity, faith, and steadfast devotion to the Gospel.

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘 | Today, we honor Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein), philosopher, Discalced Carmelite nun, martyr, and faithful witness to Christ.

Born Edith Stein into a Jewish family in Germany, Saint Teresa Benedicta lost her belief in God during her teenage years. Her search for truth eventually led her to the Catholic faith after reading the autobiography of Saint Teresa of Ávila, an experience that transformed her life. She was baptized into the Catholic Church in 1922 and, twelve years later, entered the Discalced Carmelite Order, taking the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. During the Second World War, she was arrested by the N***s because of her Jewish heritage after the Dutch bishops publicly condemned the persecution of Jews. In 1942, she was taken to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where she was killed in a gas chamber. Through her unwavering faith, love of truth, and courageous witness, Saint Teresa Benedicta became a powerful symbol of hope, reconciliation, and fidelity to Christ even in the face of persecution. She is honored as a patron saint of Europe.

May your witness strengthen us to follow Christ faithfully and to be instruments of peace, justice, and hope in our world.

Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, pray for us!

Kinutlo gikan sa Unang Basahon sa mga Hari
(1 Hari 19:9a, 11–13a)

𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆𝗼:
Ginoo, patan-awa kami sa imong kaayo, ug ihatag kanamo ang imong kaluwasan.
(Salmo 85:9ab–10, 11–12, 13–14)

𝗜𝗸𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗮:

𝗘𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘆𝗼:
Kinutlo gikan sa Balaang Ebanghelyo sumala ni San Mateo

𝗣𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗴:
Ang Pulong sa Dios karon nagtudlo kanato sa pagpaminaw ug pagsalig sa Ginoo bisan taliwala sa kahadlok ug kalisdanan. Sama kang Elias, atong masinati ang presensya sa Dios diha sa hilom ug malumo nga tingog. Sa Ebanghelyo, nahadlok si Pedro sa kusog nga hangin ug balod samtang naglakaw ibabaw sa tubig. Apan giluwas siya ni Jesus. Busa, sa atong mga problema ug pagsulay, magpabilin kitang lig-on sa pagtuo ug pagsalig, kay ang Ginoo kanunay anaa uban kanato bisan taliwala sa mga unos sa kinabuhi.

𝗣𝗮𝗴-𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗼:
Ginoo, tudloi kami sa pagpaminaw sa imong hinay ug mahupayong tingog taliwala sa kasaba ug kagubot sa among kinabuhi. Sa panahon sa among kahadlok ug kalisdanan, lig-ona ang among pagtuo ug tabangi kami nga dili mawala ang among pagsalig Kanimo. Sama kang Pedro, tabangi kami nga magpokus Kanimo ug dili sa mga unos nga among giatubang. Kupti kami sa among kamot kung kami mangaluya, ug pahinumdumi kami nga dili kami mag-inusara. Himoa kaming matinud-anong mga saksi sa imong gugma, kalinaw, ug presensya. Amen.
