"When my beloved Father died, my little niece of three years old at the time was simply fascinated by the body of her Grandpa lying in state at the visitation before his funeral Mass. She kept approaching the casket and had amazing questions I would never as an adult think to think! She wondered why, if he was sleeping, was he still wearing his glasses? Then she wondered why was he still sleeping? As best I could explain in 3-year-old language, I told her that Grandpa fell asleep with Jesus, and he will be waking up in Heaven. To her amazement, she exclaimed, “Will we all have a wake-up-in-Heaven day?!” To my amazement, she completely understood the Resurrection and the Life in her tender 3-year-old heart!"

I distinctly remember coming to the “age of reason” at about five years old while I was at Sunday Mass with my family. I was trying to think and understand how it was possible that there was “enough Jesus” to go around to so many people through the passing of so much time since Jesus walked ...

On this Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, Sr. Charbel reflects on the joy that our call to union with God is secure. May her reflection remind us of this truth and assurance and may it invite us to deeper relationship with God in prayer. "Despite wounds, traumas, hurts, broken pasts, and painful histories, this Truth stands firm: we were made for the Trinity, and we are called to share in His divine life."

I oftentimes wonder, especially when life gets hard and I come face to face with my weaknesses and seemingly insurmountable imperfections…I often wonder, what are we still doing here, wandering on this planet, like our forefathers in Exodus? Abba, what is taking so long and when are we going home?

Sr. Maria-Vianney and Sr. Catherine attended the Ladies’ Tea retreat at Divine Mercy Parish in South Milwaukee. The theme was “God is Within Her: She Will Not Fall.” After an ice-breaker, Sr. Maria-Vianney presented a reflection that included questions for small-group or personal reflection afterwards. Tea and a tea lunch were served. After a game of Saint Bingo and a craft-making session, the Ladies processed to the outdoor statue of Our Lady while singing, and they presented their hand-made tissue paper flowers to her. The beautiful tea retreat day concluded with the May Crowning!

Sr. Elizabeth reflects on Pentecost: "While most of us may never experience speaking in tongues as the apostles did, the same Holy Spirit continues to work within the Church and within each of us today. The Spirit still enables us to proclaim the Gospel, not necessarily through miraculous speech, but through lives of faith, charity, joy, and witness. Every act of kindness, every word of encouragement, every defense of truth, and every faithful “yes” to God becomes a way the Holy Spirit speaks through us to the world. Often, the most powerful proclamation of the Gospel comes not through eloquent words, but through the quiet witness of a life transformed by grace."

Pentecost is often associated with dramatic signs and wonders: a mighty wind, tongues of fire, and the apostles suddenly speaking in different languages. In the first reading from the Acts of the Apostles, we hear that “they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different tong...
