Feast of the Visitation
May 31
Today’s feast celebrates the visit of the Virgin Mary to her cousin Elizabeth. Pregnant herself, Mary hurries to her cousin’s side to help Elizabeth in the months immediately preceding the birth of her son, John the Baptist. It’s a sweet story - one
woman helping another toward the end of her pregnancy. Who knew then that Mary would be without help, on an arduous journey to Bethlehem, at the same point in her life?
It’s a stewardship story, too, for Mary had the time and desire to be of service, and she gave those gifts without reservation. She who carried the Father’s greatest gift did not think it beneath her to offer the simple gifts of her presence and love to someone who needed them. Father, keep us open to the prompting of Your Spirit and always ready to use Your gifts to help each other. Amen.

On the feast of Pope St. Paul VI, we remember the pope who guided the Church through the Second Vatican Council and faithfully proclaimed the dignity of the human person and the call to holiness in everyday life. May his witness continue to inspire us to seek truth, live with courage, and follow Christ faithfully in all things. Pope St. Paul VI, pray for us.

Steward Saint: St. Augustine of Canterbury
Feast Day: May 27
In 597, St. Augustine, the “Apostle of England,” traveled with thirty other Roman monks to evangelize southeastern England. He had been advised by Pope Gregory the Great to “purify” rather than destroy the pagan temples he found and to retain as many of the local customs as possible without compromising the faith. When the king, Ethelbert, was baptized, Augustine was made a bishop. When St. Augustine later reported the
baptism of many of the king’s subjects, the pope cautioned in reply, "You should be glad because by means of external
miracles the souls of the Angles have been led to interior grace. But you should tremble lest, on account of these signs, the preacher’s own weak soul be puffed up with presumption.” When good stewards use God’s gifts to serve the Lord, they must always remember to God be the glory!

Steward Saint: St. Philip Neri
Feast Day: May 26
St. Philip Neri began his ministry to the street people of Rome as a layman, working with neighborhood toughs, starving artists, and poor shopkeepers to help them improve themselves materially and spiritually. He finally sought ordination only when
convinced by his confessor that it would make him more effective in serving those to whom he ministered. His unfailing good nature and joyful spirit soon drew others to assist him in serving the poor. In time this little community of men ultimately became the Congregation of the Oratory (Oratorians) and adopted as their motto “sola caritas” - “love alone.” May St. Philip's example inspire us to give joyfully out of Love for our Lord too.
