On this memorial of the Passion of St. John the Baptist, may we have courage like his to stand up for Christ and his Church, to not stoop to compromising the truths Christ revealed to us. And may we defend the faith out of love for Christ, his Church and for the well-being of our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

St. Peter’s response reveals that he knows who Jesus is — even if he doesn’t yet fully understand. In this homily, Bishop DeGrood unpacks two gifts of the Holy Spirit: knowledge and understanding. Will you take time in prayer to invite God in and ask him for these very gifts?

As we grow in love and devotion to our Blessed Mother this month, join us in praying an Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I, N., a faithless sinner-- renew and ratify today in thy hands, O Immaculate Mother, the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to him than I have ever been before.
In the presence of all the heavenly court I choose thee this day, for my mother and mistress. I deliver and consecrate to thee, as thy slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity.
Amen.
