In this Sunday's Gospel (Matthew 9:36–10:8), Jesus looks upon the crowds with compassion, seeing that they are "troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd." He then tells His disciples: "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest."

These words remain just as urgent today. Christ continues to call men and women to serve His Church as priests, deacons, religious sisters and brothers, missionaries, teachers, and faithful lay leaders. Every vocation begins with listening to His voice and responding with trust.

As college students discerning the direction of our lives, this Gospel invites us not only to pray for vocations, but also to ask: "Lord, how are You calling me to serve Your people?"

May we have the courage to hear His call and the generosity to answer it.

"Lord of the harvest, send laborers into your harvest."

Today, the Church celebrates the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Just one day after honoring the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we turn our attention to the heart of His Mother—a heart completely devoted to God and perfectly united to her Son.

Mary's Immaculate Heart is a model of faith, humility, and discipleship. She pondered God's word, trusted His plan even in moments of uncertainty, and remained faithful at the foot of the Cross. Her heart teaches us how to love Christ more deeply and how to say "yes" to God's call in our own lives.

As students, friends, and disciples, let us ask Our Lady to help us grow in faith and to lead us ever closer to Jesus.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, a feast that reminds us of the boundless love Christ has for each of us. His Heart, pierced on the Cross, remains open to all who seek His mercy, healing, and friendship.

This year, the feast carries special significance in the United States. As our nation marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Catholic bishops have consecrated our country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, entrusting our people, our communities, and our future to the loving Heart of Christ. May this act of consecration inspire us to renew our own commitment to follow Him and to build a society rooted in truth, justice, charity, and hope.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us and on our nation.

Today, the Church celebrates St. Barnabas, the Apostle. Though not one of the Twelve, Barnabas played a vital role in the early Church. Known as the “Son of Encouragement,” he welcomed and supported St. Paul after his conversion and joined him in proclaiming the Gospel throughout the Mediterranean world. A man of generosity, faith, and missionary zeal, Barnabas helped build up the first Christian communities and spread the Good News to new lands.

St. Barnabas, pray for us!

Today, the Church celebrates St. Ephraim the Syrian (c. 306–373), a deacon, theologian, and Doctor of the Church. Known as the "Harp of the Holy Spirit," St. Ephraim used poetry and hymns to teach the faith and defend Christian doctrine. His writings beautifully express the mysteries of Christ, the Scriptures, and the Church, earning him a place among the greatest spiritual writers of early Christianity. Many of his poems and hymns are still sung in Eastern liturgies today. Through his wisdom and devotion, he reminds us that truth and beauty can work together to lead hearts to God.

St. Ephraim the Syrian, pray for us!

Today, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi), a feast dedicated to the great gift of the Holy Eucharist. In every Mass, Jesus fulfills His promise to remain with us, offering us His true Body and Blood as spiritual food for our journey of faith.

As we celebrate this feast, may we grow in gratitude for Christ's Real Presence in the Eucharist and allow Him to transform our hearts through every encounter with Him at the altar.

"O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine."

Know your purpose.

Today, the Church celebrates St. Boniface (c. 675–754), known as the “Apostle to the Germans.” Born in England, he left his homeland to preach the Gospel throughout what is now Germany, helping to establish churches, monasteries, and dioceses. Boniface courageously challenged pagan practices and worked to strengthen the faith of Christian communities. After decades of missionary service, he was martyred while proclaiming Christ. His life reminds us of the call to share the Gospel with courage and conviction.

St. Boniface, pray for us!
