Praised be Jesus Christ! Now and forever! Father Gerard had an excellent homily today. He spoke about each person's cross to carry on our earthly pilgrimage to Heaven. At one point he quoted Flannery O'Connor (not a precise quote) : IF WE MAKE OUR OWN CROSS, ITS NOT OUR CROSS".

Sr You. Episode 25. The our sufferings & crosses series continues!
The Cross has the power to completely change us & set us free from sin's power. -see St Paul's letter to the Romans.

Praised be Jesus Christ! Now and forever! Blessings on the Great Solemnity Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary! We Passionists usually/maybe have Her earthly image in our minds more-- so it is always so wonderful to see & have Our Blessed Mother exalted on High with her Divine Son & all the Heavenly Hosts, looking beautifully resplendent! This mystery fills us with joy & hope. AMEN.

The pictures focus on Jesus & Mary in our holy Chapel/Choir---resplendent, too, in Heavenly colors and beauty. God bless you and love you. ✝️

Praised be Jesus Christ! Pater Thomas CP Pater Thomas CP has completed the Route 66 trail. He is with his Passionist brothers right now in Sierra Madre Retreat House. He journeys home to Austria on Friday. We enjoyed all his photos he sent us & share some with you in this California Post. Santa Monica is very familiar to our Mother Mary Veronica and we marvel at the sacrifice she made in following Jesus to Middle America. She remembers this beach very well!

Thank you for sharing your images and dressing up as our beloved Saint! ;) Beautiful!

Praised be Jesus Christ! Now and forever! Today we remember Sr Ana Maria on her one year since being called Home to her Heavenly Father. For at least two decades she was one of the St Louis Abbey seamstresses. We recall the stories she told us when she had to interact with them at "fitted" times in our parlor. Assuredly, one of those monks she fitted was our beloved deceased Father Dominic OSB! He died on May 3rd. His funeral is May 8th and that is the death anniversary of our Mother Mary Salvador. Next week is the death anniversary of our Sr Hyacinth. We don't find these dates a coincidence. All of them in the month of Mother Mary too! We await with joy, hope & mercy seeing them all in Heaven - amen alleluia.
