On this Memorial Day, we remember with gratitude and prayer all who gave their lives in service to our nation, asking God to grant them eternal rest. May God continue to bless our nation, and may we never forget the cost of the freedom we cherish.

Today we celebrate the great gift of the Holy Spirit, God’s presence dwelling within us, guiding, renewing, and transforming every part of our lives.

As we rejoice in Pentecost Sunday, let us make St. Augustine’s prayer to the Holy Spirit our own:
“Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit,
that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit,
that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,
that I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,
to defend all that is holy.”

This Pentecost, may we invite the Holy Spirit into everything, our joys, our struggles, and the ordinary moments of daily life.
Come, Holy Spirit. Renew our hearts and renew the face of the earth.

Today is the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima.

From Franciscan Media:
Between May 13 and October 13, 1917, three Portuguese children–Francisco and Jacinta Marto and their cousin Lucia dos Santos–received apparitions of Our Lady at Cova da Iria near Fatima, a city 110 miles north of Lisbon. Mary asked the children to pray the rosary for world peace, for the end of World War I, for sinners, and for the conversion of Russia.

Mary gave the children three secrets. Following the deaths of Francisco and Jacinta in 1919 and 1920 respectively, Lucia revealed the first secret in 1927. It concerned devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The second secret was a vision of hell. When Lucia grew up she became a Carmelite nun and died in 2005 at the age of 97.

Pope John Paul II directed the Holy See’s Secretary of State to reveal the third secret in 2000; it spoke of a “bishop in white” who was shot by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows into him. Many people linked this vision to the assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II in St. Peter’s Square on May 13, 1981.

The feast of Our Lady of Fatima was approved by the local bishop in 1930; it was added to the Church’s worldwide calendar in 2002.
