Saint Monica – August 27– Sheri Wohlfert
⁣
Parenting is a job that simply doesn’t have a finish line. No matter their age, our hope and prayer is for our kids to be holy, healthy and safe; physically and spiritually. Many parents share the heartache of a child who has drifted away from the faith and today is the perfect day to call on the wisdom and intercession of Saint Monica whose motherhood was marked by the same heartache. Following her example brings us hope and demonstrates the love and power of the Father.
⁣
The Big Thing: With consistent, persistent and relentless passion, pray for your child. Pray that the Holy Spirit will soften their heart and lead them back to their faith.
⁣
Toss The Timer: Offer your prayers with great faith and even greater patience. God doesn’t have a timetable, and he will act decisively at precisely the right time. Saint Monica prayed relentlessly for her son Augustine for more than fifteen years before his conversion.
⁣
The Switch: Talk to your child less about God and talk to God more about your child. This was the wise council Saint Monica received from her spiritual director Saint Ambrose, and it was good and powerful advice.
⁣
The Father loves each of us ferociously. He will find the lost sheep, our job is to trust and pray that the Father who loves our children more than we ever could, will protect and guide them home.
⁣
Saint Monica, pray for us.

Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary - August 15 - Father Ginu Abraham
⁣
On this Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we celebrate the joyful truth that Mary has been assumed body and soul into heaven. Her Assumption reminds us that our lives are not meant to end on earth but to be lived forever with God. Where Mary has gone, we are all invited to follow. Writes Father Ginu Abraham, pastor of Saint Mary Parish in Williamston. Father Ginu continues:
⁣
The Church calls Mary the "Cause of Our Joy." She is not the source of our joy—Jesus is. But through her faithful "Yes" to God, she gave the world Jesus, our Savior, and our true joy. Mary's life was not easy. She faced uncertainty, suffering, and heartbreak. Yet she never lost hope because she never stopped trusting God. She teaches us that real joy does not come from a perfect life but from a heart that stays close to God.
⁣
In a world that tells us to chase popularity, success, and pleasure, Mary points us to something far greater. A simple "Yes" to God brings a deeper joy than anything the world can offer. Today, ask yourself: Where am I looking for joy? Is it in things that quickly fade, or in a life centered on Jesus? Let us follow Mary's example by choosing gratitude instead of complaining, praying before we worry, forgiving those who hurt us, and sharing kindness with those around us. Every little act of love is another "yes" to God. May Mary, the Cause of Our Joy, help us trust God each day, follow Jesus more faithfully, and keep our hearts fixed on heaven.
⁣
Happy Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary! May Our Lady lead us always to her Son, Jesus, our true joy and everlasting hope.

Today is the Feast of Saint Maximilian Kolbe (1894-1941), the Polish Franciscan priest who was executed in the N**i death camp at Auschwitz in southern Poland after he had offered himself as a ransom for the life of a fellow prisoner who was a father of a family.
⁣
“Providentially, I visited Auschwitz upon this day back in 2008,” recalls David Kerr, Director of Communications for the Diocese of Lansing.
⁣
“Rather impiously, however, I was initially unaware that my visit coincided with the Feast of Saint Maximilian. That soon changed upon happening upon the cell where he spent his final days. This was the ‘starvation bunker’ where Father Maximillian had been deprived of food and water for two weeks before being murdered by lethal injection by his SS guards.”
⁣
“Despite its grim history, upon that feast day in 2008, Saint Maximillian’s cell was a place of light and peace and prayer, festooned with flickering candles, and busied by a steady stream of pilgrims seeking his heavenly intercession and honoring his heroic witness to Jesus Christ sustained, as he was, by the maternal protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary.”
Poland’s National Remembrance Institute estimates that half of all Polish priests, monks and nuns suffered repression during the six years of the Second World War, with more than 2,800 killed at N**i and Soviet hands.
⁣
Meanwhile, of the nearly 2,720 clergy of all denominations incarcerated at the N**i concentration camp of Dachau in southern Germany, 2,579 were Catholic priests of whom 1,034 died during the war. The vast majority of these priests were Polish.
⁣
“The lesson of that day in Auschwitz back in 2008 – and the message of the hundreds of canonized and beatified martyrs of N**i persecution – is that God’s grace is always sufficient even amid the darkest of circumstances and, most startlingly, that great suffering can be greatly redemptive,” says David.
“As Saint Paul observes ‘where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord’.” (Romans 5:20-21).
⁣
Let us pray:
O God, who filled the Priest and Martyr Saint Maximilian Kolbe with a burning love for the Immaculate Virgin Mary and with zeal for souls and love of neighbor, graciously grant, through his intercession, that striving for your glory by eagerly serving others, we may be conformed, even until death, to your Son. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
