Today’s readings speak about God’s love. They began with the Book of Exodus and God reminding Moses that He had chosen the Hebrew people as His people. They did not deserve this choice. He chose them out of love. He saw Abraham’s faith and responded with his love for Abraham and his progeny. The people witnessed this love when they were delivered from slavery and led through the desert to the Promised Land. God only asked them to remain faithful to Him, a response to his

On Saturday, June 13 is celebrated as the Memorial of St. Anthony of Padua.

THE U.S. CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS (USCCB) approved the consecration of the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 2026 to accompany the country’s 250th anniversary.

THE SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY That we celebrate Today, is the central Christian mystery of one God in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Trinity is one God in three persons, each fully divine yet distinct in relation: the Father generates, the Son is begotten, and the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son (Lateran Council IV, 1215). This doctrine emphasizes that God is relational, eternal, and pe

Catholic Memorial Day is a time to honor the deceased, especially those who sacrificed their lives in service, through prayer, Mass, and reflection on spiritual freedom.

The day honors men and women of the Armed Forces who gave their lives, reflecting Christ’s teaching: “Greater love has no one

THE SOLEMNITY OF THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD The Solemnity of the Ascension of Jesus, celebrated forty days after Easter, commemorates the moment when the risen Christ, in the sight of his apostles, ascended bodily into heaven (Acts 1:9-11).
