On this Date in 2004, my Brother, Bart Oneto, entered into the Father's Kingdom! I remember him in Prayer this day!

"May Christ who was crucified and died for your sake deliver you from eternal death; may Christ son of the living God set you down in the fresh beauty of his paradise and may HE, the Good Shepherd, claim you as one of HIS flock.
May he forgive you all your sins and grant you a place among the saints at his own right hand. There may you ever behold your Redeemer face to face and ever stand before him placed in the ranks of the blessed, may you delight in the vision of God for ever and ever. AMEN!

Today’s feast of the Queenship of Mary was established in 1954 by Pope Pius XII. It honors Mary as Mother of God and celebrates her Assumption into heaven, which we observed on August 15.

By giving her whole life to bring God’s incarnate presence into the world through Jesus, Mary becomes a perfect model of faith, openness, and obedience to God’s will.

The readings for this feast highlight God’s gracious gift of incarnate love. The prophet Isaiah proclaims, “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone...a child is born to us.”

Luke’s gospel recounts the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel appears to Mary and assures her of God’s favor as she becomes the mother of the long-awaited Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Through her “yes” to God, Mary brought forth the light and life of Jesus. May we continue to make the light and life of Christ visible through our compassion and goodness toward others.

What an amazing story!!!!

After losing her husband, Gertrude Scheerer raised her ten children in the Catholic faith with prayer, sacrifice, and trust in God.

The result was extraordinary.

All 10 of her children entered religious life:

• 1 Bishop – Bishop Aloysius Louis Scheerer, O.P., who served as Bishop of Multan, Pakistan
• 6 Priests – including five Discalced Carmelite priests and one Dominican priest
• 3 Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine de Ricci

Their home was filled with faith, daily prayer, Mass, and the frequent presence of priests and religious. The children grew up seeing the love of God lived out in ordinary family life.

When all ten siblings were presented to Pope St. John XXIII, the Holy Father looked at them in amazement and exclaimed:

"One mamma?!"

The reply came:

"Yes, Your Holiness, one mamma!"

Their story is a beautiful testimony to the power of a faithful Catholic family and the lasting influence of a mother who taught her children to love and follow Christ above all else.

Today we honor and celebrate our Patroness Saint, Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, on what would be her Birthday!!!

Mother Cabrini was born Maria Francesca Cabrini in 1850 in Sant'Angelo Lodigiano, Italy. She dedicated her life to serving the poor and vulnerable.
At Pope Leo XIII's request, she arrived in New York in 1889 to aid Italian immigrants, quickly establishing schools, orphanages, hospitals, and more. Over the course of her life, she founded 67 institutions, schools, hospitals, and orphanages across the United States, Europe, and Latin America, bringing hope to thousands around the world.
In 1946, she was canonized as the first American saint, a lasting testament to her mission of compassion.

Her story reached new audiences through the film Cabrini, which shares her incredible journey of resilience, courage, and faith.

Mother Cabrini - Prega per Noi!! Pray for Us!!!
