Today is a birthday! 🎉 The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
⁣
So, what could you give Mary for her birthday? Perhaps the best gift is one she would pass on to her Son: pray a Rosary, spend a few minutes with Jesus, perform an act of kindness or ask Mary to help you grow closer to Christ.
⁣
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!

Jesus reminds us today that Christian community is about choosing love in the midst of conflict.
⁣
When someone hurts us, Christ calls us first toward the person, not away from them.
⁣
Reconciliation takes courage and humility and sometimes more than one attempt.

Calling all food warriors!

Today the Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Teresa of Calcutta, a modern-day saint who was a powerful witness to seeing Christ in the poorest and most forgotten.
⁣
Mother Teresa was known to do small things with great love. She served the sick, the dying and the marginalized with extraordinary tenderness because she believed that in each person, she was serving Jesus Himself.
⁣
Her example challenges us to look more closely at the people God places in front of us each day and ask: How can I love Christ in this person?
⁣
St. Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us!

September is traditionally dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows, inviting us to contemplate the seven profound sorrows Mary endured throughout the life, passion and death of her Son.
⁣
As we reflect upon her sorrows, may Mary teach us to remain close to Jesus in our own suffering and to trust Him always.
⁣
Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us!

St. Alphonsus Liguori reminds us that the greatest things we can ask of God are not the things of this world. May this beautiful prayer help reorder our hearts toward what matters most: loving God and belonging completely to Him.

“Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.”
⁣
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus makes it clear that following Him will not always be easy. Peter wants a path that avoids suffering, but Jesus shows His disciples that the way to new life leads through the Cross.
⁣
We all have crosses we would rather not carry. Thankfully, Jesus doesn’t ask us to carry them alone. When we surrender our lives to Christ, even our struggles and sacrifices can become a path that leads us closer to Him.
⁣
This week, let's ask for the grace to take up our cross and follow wherever Jesus leads.
