In most dioceses of the United States, the Church will celebrate the Solemnity of Corpus Christi this year on Sunday, June 7, following the traditional rhythm of the calendar shortly after Trinity Sunday.

The feast, instituted in 1264 by Pope Urban IV, highlights the Church’s faith in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. “Corpus Christi” is Latin for “Body of Christ,” drawing our attention to Christ truly present under the appearances of bread and wine.

Throughout history, deep devotion to Christ in the Blessed Sacrament has marked the lives of the saints; by following their example, we too can grow in love for Jesus present in the Eucharist and strengthen our friendship with him through his Body and Blood.

Pope Leo XIV has released his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, a major teaching document on artificial intelligence, human dignity, and life in a digital age. In it, he addresses everything from children’s use of smartphones and doomscrolling to autonomous weapons, algorithmic injustice, and why no machine can ever define what it means to be a person created in the image of God.
For a quick overview, here are 15 key quotes that capture some of its most important insights.

In the heart of Haiti’s most dangerous slum, Cité Soleil, one religious sister is quietly changing thousands of lives.

Inspired by Mother Teresa, Sister Paesie left the Missionaries of Charity to found the Kizito Family, a community dedicated to protecting the poorest children, giving them safety, education, and the chance to know Jesus. Today they run homes, schools, and catechism centers where kids who once wandered the streets now learn, play, and pray together.

Amid brutal gang violence, hunger, and deep poverty, these children still find joy in the Eucharist, in the classroom, and in a loving community that refuses to abandon them.

Sister Paesie says what they need most is our prayers.

Today the Church honors St. Philip Neri, who was known for using humor to build morale and encourage the people he served, especially the young people. He was known for saying, “Nothing in this world is to be taken seriously, nothing except the salvation of a soul.”

To celebrate his feast day, enjoy these Catholic jokes!

We are living in the time of Pentecost.

Jesus promised that he would send us an advocate, a comforter, His own Holy Spirit. At Pentecost, the Apostles received the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and were emboldened to bring the story and love of Jesus to people who didn't know Him.

Today, we are infused with the same Holy Spirit to bring the love of Christ to people who think they already know Him and have rejected Him. Lord, remove any obstacles in our minds and hearts that prevent us from living lives entirely motivated only by your love!
