There's an expression in the sport of soccer: "going for glory." In short, it means to score some kind of stupendous, spectacular goal, usually leading to your teammates hoisting you on their shoulders and carrying you off the field.

In other sports, "glory" means something similar: catching the winning touchdown, hitting a grand slam, getting a hole in one. Think big, dramatic, and spectacular.

But in today's Gospel, Jesus offers us a different image of glory: doing what you have been asked to do. If we apply this to sports, our definition of glorious plays expands, including everything from a basic block in football to a well-executed bounce pass in basketball.

This is important for us to remember in our spiritual lives. Giving God glory doesn't necessarily mean accomplishing dramatic feats. In fact, focusing on grandiose achievements can actually distract us from seeking true glory: fidelity to God in every moment of the day.

So, St. Joseph Parish Boston family, let's glorify God today. First by worshiping him at Mass, and then by being faithful to him throughout the rest of the day.

The Ascension is not an ending—it’s a sending.

Christ entrusts His disciples with a mission to all nations, with the promise to remain always.

That mission continues today—and we are part of it.

In 1917, Our Lady of Fatima called the world to: Pray. Repent. Return to God.

Her message is still a mission for all.

Today, we join that mission—praying for all nations and all people.

📿 Pray the Rosary for the missions.

Today, last day of the Easter Octave, is Divine Mercy Sunday! God’s love for us is made incarnate in every aspect of Jesus’s life. Through him, we can know and love God, and we are forgiven of all our sins.⁣

In just a few days, we'll celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday. But you don't need to wait until then to thank God for his love. The Divine Mercy Chaplet is a powerful devotion, and some people pray it every day at 3 PM — the hour of Christ's death on the cross. And all you need to pray it is a regular rosary, a few minutes, and a heart full of gratitude and love.⁣

Follow the link to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and make sure to remember all of us at St. Joseph Parish Boston as you pray!⁣

As Catholics, we recognize the inherent dignity of our body and its health. Our bodies are the very temple of our soul and the Holy Spirit. May we take care of such a sacred gift!⁣

On this World Health Day, we are especially grateful for the Faith Community Nursing ministry, which is "the specialized practice of professional nursing that focuses on the intentional care of the spirit as part of the process of promoting holistic health and preventing or minimizing illness in a faith community.” This ministry truly recognizes the reality that we are body and soul.⁣

Don't let doubt win. Choose surrender: 'Here I am, Lord, do with me what thou wilt.' This is the ultimate winning formula for peace and purpose. ⁣

Let us pray for Sts. Perpetua and Felicity’s intercession, that we may be faithful in our Lenten observance of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. May their witness teach us to give up things of this world and to chase after the joys and excitement of Heaven!⁣
