As was often the case, their story was fully told by their executioner, a man who later received baptism because he was so impressed by the courage of the men he killed. He sought out Pope Damasus and told him the story.

"Let us pray that sports be an instrument of peace, encounter, and dialogue among cultures and nations, and that they promote values such as respect, solidarity, and personal growth." -Pope Leo XIV
⁣
Let's join the Holy Father and Fr Mark that all might find joy in sports.

Think of the best father-son relationship you know of. Think of the love and even shared sense of identity that defines it. Then take that idea and multiply it by infinity. Whatever result you have, it still falls utterly and entirely short of the relationship between God the Father and God the Son. Because as Jesus says, He and the Father truly are "one"-one God, even while being distinct persons.
⁣
Why does this matter? Because today, on Trinity Sunday, we reflect not only on the nature of God, but also his Trinitarian action in human history. Especially the sending of the Son by the Father.
⁣
Take a moment today to ponder how utterly incredible this mystery is. Because Jesus is fully human, we sometimes lose sight of his divinity. But he is God indeed. And restating his saving mission in these terms can be helpful: God became man; God endured torture and humiliation on our behalf; God was crucified; and God died. Not in his essence, but in the human nature that truly belonged to the Son.
⁣
God truly suffered for us. And what's more, he didn't need to. At all. Because he needs us for nothing. But he loves us. Fiercely and fully. And on Trinity Sunday, we ponder this mystery anew and ask how here at St Nicholas we can carry that same mission of divine love into the world.

We asked Fr. Mark what he loved about the Blessed Virgin Mary, and this is what he had to say...
⁣
"Her humble cooperation with God's will - which makes her the greatest of all disciples"

Our Lady's month is almost over, but before it is, we want to know: what do you love about the Blessed Virgin Mary?
⁣
Perhaps it's a trait, like her humility or openness to God's will. Or maybe it's an action she took, like visiting her cousin Elizabeth when Mary herself was pregnant. Whatever it is, we want to know! So tell us in the comments below. We'll ask Fr Mark for his answer too!

Today is National Hamburger Day. But before anyone starts criticizing the idea of devoting a day to celebrating a cherished dish, let's go to Sacred Scripture to see what it says about tasty food!
⁣
Scripture uses images of delicious meals to indicate God's blessings: We read that the promised land is "a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey" (Deuteronomy 8:7-9). Meanwhile, the delight that comes from wisdom is compared to dressed meat and mixed wine (Proverbs 9:1-5). And heaven, of course, is compared to a feast, where the Lord will provide "rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines" (Isaiah 25:6).
⁣
See? Food isn't bad. It's a gift from God. So if you happen to be scarfing down a burger today, give thanks to the Lord. And remember that the tastiness of food is merely a hint of the delight that God truly has in store for us!
⁣
And we'll check to see if Fr Mark has a favorite burger!

When you hear "St. Augustine," you probably think of the 5th-century bishop from North Africa. And for good reason: St. Augustine of Hippo is one of the most important saints in history, a profound theologian whose writings continue to shape the Church today (just ask Pope Leo XIV, a member of the religious order inspired by him).
⁣
But that St. Augustine isn't the only one. There's also St. Augustine of Canterbury, today's saint, who is worth celebrating in his own right. In 597 AD, he reintroduced Christianity to England after the fall of the Roman Empire. St. Augustine evangelized the Anglo-Saxons, purifying their practices and rituals when possible rather than abolishing them. Through his missionary work, England became a center of medieval Christianity.
⁣
Come celebrate the "other" St. Augustine today at daily Mass, Mon-Tues 9:00 am Communion Service, Wed-Fri 9:00 am Mass and Thurs evening 6:00 pm.
