The Book of Revelation is complex and confusing. But it is much more understandable when we read the tenth verse of the first chapter carefully: "I was caught up in the spirit on the Lord's Day." John experienced his divine visions in the context of the Mass. With this framework, the entire book is easier to understand! St. Peter Claver, you can learn more by reading Dr. Scott Hahn's excellent book, The Lamb's Supper. It's full of great !

🙏 Happy Feast Day of San Pedro Calungsod! 🙏

Today, we honor San Pedro Calungsod, a young Filipino catechist and missionary who courageously shared his faith and gave his life for Christ. Known for his deep faith, unwavering courage, and dedication to evangelization, he was martyred in Guam in 1672 while serving alongside Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores.

May his example inspire us to live our faith boldly, serve others with love, and remain steadfast in our devotion to God. San Pedro Calungsod, pray for us! 🙏❤️

Today, this order notes that its founder, St. Paul of the Cross, was able to see beyond circumstances and divisions "in order to build a world that reflects the vision of the Reign of God." Good luck, St. Peter Claver!

In the 1640s, Father Isaac Jogues of the Jesuits was tortured and enslaved by the Mohawks of North America. Miraculously, he escaped, returned to his home country of France, and healed up. Soon afterwards, he returned to preach the Gospel to his tormentors. Ten years after he was clubbed to death, Saint Kateri Tekakwitha was born in the same area. Jogues' heroic actions and intercession planted the seeds of faith that eventually led to our first Native American saint!

Jesus' interlocutors seek to trap him by having him speak against the Temple or the Roman authorities. But Jesus does neither, and at the same time he points them to a deep spiritual truth: that since we are made in the image and likeness of God, we are first and foremost his. It's a good reminder that no political or social system owns us. We are God's first, St. Peter Claver!
