Today is the feast day of St. Teresa of Calcutta, also known as Mother Teresa.
⁣
Teresa was born in 1910 and at that age of 18, left home to join the Sisters of Loreto in Ireland. She took the name Teresa after St. Therese of Lisieux and professed her final vows in 1937.
⁣
In 1946, she found her “call within a call.” She experienced visions and an interior call to “radiate Jesus’ love on souls” and “be His light” revealing to her his pain for the neglected poor. His love for them became her own.
⁣
Her legacy started with the establishment the Missionaries of Charity and the beginnings of her work in Calcutta. She worked with many other religious groups, formed various organizations, and influenced movements. She gained worldwide recognition for her work and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.
⁣
Mother Teresa died September 5 and was canonized by Pope Franics in 2016. She is the patron of World Youth Day, Missionaries of Charity and a co-patron of the Archdiocese of Calcutta.

St. Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us!

The First Sorrow: Simeon’s Prophecy
⁣
Mary’s sorrows begin with a prophecy.
⁣
When Mary and Joseph bring the infant Jesus to the Temple, Simeon recognizes Him as the promised Messiah. But his words to Mary contain a warning: “And you yourself a sword will pierce.” (Luke 2:35)
⁣
Mary receives this prophecy knowing that the Son she loves is destined to suffer.
⁣
She does not turn away.
⁣
From the very beginning, Mary says yes, not only to the joy of motherhood, but to the suffering that will come with being the Mother of Christ.
⁣
Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Today we celebrate and honor the Queenship of Mary.
⁣
This feast was established by Pope Pius XII in 1954 in association with his encyclical, “To the Queen of Heaven.” Mary is given this title out of honor because she is the Mother of God and the new Eve.
⁣
Mary’s queenship also has roots in scripture as the queens of Old Testament Israel were the mother of the ruling male.

Today is the feast day of St. Pope Pius X.
⁣
Pope Pius X, born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, was a humble man from a poor family. When he became pope, he was not enamored with the elaborate papal court traditions.
⁣
He encouraged Catholics to be involved with politics and fought to end the veto power that neighboring governments had over the papacy.
⁣
His heart belonged to the poor, especially children. He was devoted to continual reception of the Eucharist and lowered the age that children could first receive the sacrament.
⁣
He preached against war and violence and died shortly after the beginning of World War I.
⁣
He is the patron of first communicants, catechists, and pilgrims.
⁣
St. Pius X, pray for us!

Today is the feast day of St. Bernard of Clairvaux.
⁣
Bernard lived in 12th century France. He joined the monastic order of the Cistercians at the age of 20 and was eventually named abbot.
⁣
He was influential with Church leaders as they sought his advice regarding world affairs. He was also a Second Crusade preacher, scholar, theologian, and reformer of his Cistercian order.
⁣
He wrote treaties and some of the Catholic hymns still sung today.
⁣
St. Bernard is the patron of beekeepers, candlemakers, the Cistercians, and the Knights Templar.
⁣
St. Bernard, pray for us!

🎒 A backpack carries more than books.
It goes with our students into classrooms, hallways, friendships, challenges, celebrations, and moments we may never see. It travels to places where parents, teachers, and youth ministers cannot always be there.
As a new school year begins, we pray that God blesses these backpacks and all who carry them, that He protects our young people, guides their steps, strengthens their hearts, and reminds them that they are never alone. 🙏
May every journey this year be filled with God’s love. ❤️

Those four words appear throughout Scripture because God knows we'll need to hear them again and again.
When anxiety, comparison, or uncertainty creep in this week, remember: God isn't asking you to have everything figured out. He's asking you to trust Him with the next step.
Praying for all of our students, families, and youth ministers this week.
