As our archdiocesan community gathered yesterday to celebrate the Perpetual Profession of Vows of three Sisters of Life, we are reminded that the witness of Women Religious continues to shape both the Church and our nation.

In this final installment of our America 250 series, we honor the generations of sisters who built schools, hospitals, orphanages, and ministries of mercy throughout the Archdiocese of New York. Their lives of prayer, sacrifice, and service have left an enduring mark on the fabric of America.

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord. On Mount Tabor, Jesus was transfigured before Peter, James, and John, unveiling the fullness of who He is before His suffering and death. The Transfiguration reminds us that the Cross leads to the hope of the Resurrection.

Hoy la Iglesia celebra la Fiesta de la Transfiguración del Señor. En el Monte Tabor, Jesús se transfiguró ante Pedro, Santiago y Juan, revelando plenamente quién es Él antes de su sufrimiento y muerte. La Transfiguración nos recuerda que la Cruz conduce a la esperanza de la Resurrección.

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. John Vianney, the humble Curé of Ars and patron saint of parish priests. Through prayer, sacrifice, and sometimes up to 16 hours in the confessional, he brought people back to Christ with compassion and faith.

Let us pray for all priests and for all discerning a vocation to the priesthood. May they be strengthened in their vocation and remain faithful witnesses of Christ's love and mercy.
