St Mark Catholic Church, Shoreline

Most days, people walk right past her. But look up, Mother Teresa stands on our reredos, right alongside the saints who've been interceding for this parish for generations.

She didn't seek a place of honor. She spent her life kneeling beside the dying in the streets of Calcutta, seeing Christ in "the least of these" (Matthew 25:40). And now, here she is, home, at rest, among the holy ones.

Next time you're in St. Mark's, look up. She's there. And she's praying for you.

🙏 St. Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us.

Today the Church remembers St. Teresa of Calcutta.

She didn’t wait for the poor to come to her. She went out, into the gutters, the slums, the places no one else wanted to go, and there she found Jesus. 🫶🏿🫶🏾🫶🏻🫶🏼

Not a metaphorical Jesus. The actual, hidden, suffering Christ, present in “the least of these” (Matthew 25:40).

Have you ever seen her painted on the reredos behind the altar at our St. Mark Church?

She stands there among the saints, a reminder that barely 30 years after her death, the Church already honors her as one of the great witnesses of charity.

Mother Teresa didn’t need a grand platform to change the world. She needed a rosary, a habit, and a willingness to see what others refused to see.

Who is the “least of these” in your own life this week: the person easiest to overlook, easiest to avoid?

What would it look like to see Christ in them today?

🙏 St. Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us.

Today ❤️‍🔥 and join us the first Friday of October

❤️‍🔥🕯️ ADORATION HAS BEGUN — COME MEET THE HEART OF JESUS 🕯️❤️‍🔥

Every First Friday, our parish family gathers to pray the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus at Exposition and today, September 4, we did just that.

Now Jesus remains fully present, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, exposed in the Blessed Sacrament all the way through Saturday morning at 8:40 AM Benediction.

First Friday devotions are a deeply revered practice in the Catholic Church, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

This devotion stems from the apparitions of Jesus to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque in the 17th century, where He revealed His deep love for humanity and asked for special acts of reparation for sins committed against His Sacred Heart.

The symbolic image of Christ’s Heart burning with love for us, even while pierced with the thorns of our indifference and ingratitude, is at the very heart of this devotion. And right now, that same Heart waits for you in our adoration chapel.

The Great Promise made to St. Margaret Mary includes the grace of final perseverance for those who complete nine consecutive First Fridays with sincerity and devotion.

But tonight, the invitation is even simpler than that. It is just this: come. Sit with Him. Let Him love you.

Bring your tired heart. Bring your heavy burdens. Bring your gratitude and your grief. Bring your silence. There is no more powerful place on earth to lay it all down than before the face of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament.

Don’t let Him wait alone.
📍St. Mark
🕐 Adoration continues now through Saturday at 8:40 AM Benediction

“I have a burning thirst to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament, and I find hardly anyone who strives, according to My desire, to allay this thirst by making Me some return of love.” — Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

Someone must keep Him company. Will it be you?

🔔 Share this with someone whose heart needs an encounter with Christ tonight.

Don’t let the lesson of the Canaanite woman leave you this Ordinary Time. This season is a time for growth.

Remember the Canaanite woman, begging for scraps, refusing to walk away?

“In order to have great faith we have to become more desperate — a desperation, a reliance, bolstered by the perseverance and fidelity in our daily personal prayer.” — Fr. Ross

She stayed. She pressed in. This week’s invitation: not a bigger prayer, just a daily one. At least 20 minutes, not only to beg, but to listen.
