Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸
⁣
Today we give thanks for the dignity of work and for all those whose daily efforts help support their families, serve their communities, and build up society. As we enjoy this day of rest, let us thank God for the gifts of labor, vocation, and the opportunity to serve others with our talents.

The Church dedicates this month to the Seven Sorrows of Mary, inviting us to reflect on Our Blessed Mother's steadfast faith and trust in God through suffering.
⁣
Consider praying the Seven Sorrows Rosary (Chaplet) this month as a way to draw closer to Jesus through Mary's compassionate heart. May she teach us to remain faithful and find hope in every trial.

St. Gregory the Great, Pope, reformer, and Doctor of the Church, reminds us that the Bible is a book we can never fully master. As we grow in faith, experience, wisdom, and holiness, we discover new meanings and insights in the same passages that we may have read many times before. The Scripture itself does not change, but our understanding of it deepens as God continues to work in our lives.
⁣
Spend a few moments with God's Word today and see what He wants to reveal to your heart.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus reveals that the path to glory passes through the Cross. When Peter resists this difficult truth, Jesus reminds His disciples that following Him means self-denial, sacrifice, and trust in God’s plan.

May we have the courage to take up our cross each day and walk faithfully with the Lord.

Happy Feast of St. Augustine
Today, we celebrate St. Augustine, one of the Church’s greatest saints and teachers. After a long search for truth and meaning, Augustine encountered the transformative love of Christ and dedicated his life to sharing the Gospel.
"Because God has made us for Himself, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him."- St. Augustine

No prayer is ever wasted.

St. Monica was a faithful mother whose persistent prayers and unwavering trust in God helped lead her son, St. Augustine, to conversion.
