Congratulations to the Class of 2026! 🎉It was a joy celebrating your hard work at the Baccalaureate Mass and Breakfast. As you step into this next chapter, may you continue to grow in faith, wisdom, and love. Always remember to lean on the guidance of the Trinity—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—to light your path.

Memorial Day is an important time to pause and pray for members of the military who have died in service to our country. All of us at St. Jude are grateful for their sacrifice, and pray that our world may know peace.

What does it mean to be a Christian? Certainly, it means to believe in Jesus Christ; that he is the Son of God, that he was crucified and rose from the dead, and that he is the savior of all mankind.

But in today's Gospel, Jesus makes it clear that Christianity is about more than just believing in him. It is about becoming like him. "As the Father has sent me, so I send you." Being a Christian literally means being committed to the same mission of Jesus: bringing salvation to the world.

But can we, mere humans after all, truly carry on Christ's work under our own power? Of course, we can't, which is why he doesn't leave us alone. He sends us his very Spirit.

It is no coincidence that today, on Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate both the descent of the Holy Spirit and the founding of the Church. Why? Because they are inseparable. The Church's core identity is to be on mission, to evangelize, to spread the Gospel, and the Holy Spirit is the person who animates this great work.

So today let's pray not only for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Let's also pray that we respond by carrying on Christ's mission.

St. Rita of Cascia had a pretty tough life: Her husband was abusive. When he was murdered, she was left a widow. Her two sons soon died of illness. And she was rejected by a convent before finally being accepted.

But amidst all of her suffering, St. Rita didn't become coldhearted. Instead, she turned to Jesus. So much so, that he bestowed on her a participation in his own passion: the stigmata, a visible wound from his crucifixion. St. Rita's forehead bore a wound from Christ's crown of thorns. It never healed--instead, she endured the pain from it for the rest of her life.

Through her suffering, St. Rita became extremely close to Jesus Christ. And now, she is known as an incredible intercessor; one who is especially powerful in the case of "impossible causes."

St. Rita has an important lesson for us: with Jesus, no suffering is wasted. With St. Rita of Cascia's intercession, let's use our difficulties as occasions to draw close to Jesus.
