Focus on you, your relationship with the Lord, and His forgiveness of you. And so much of the other burdens of relationship with others will ease in your life.

The Second Sorrow: The Flight into Egypt

Today, as we celebrate the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we rejoice in the birth of the woman who would one day become the Mother of our Savior, and we remember that her life with Jesus was not free from fear or uncertainty.

After the birth of Jesus, Herod sought to kill Him. Joseph was warned in a dream, and the Holy Family fled to Egypt.

Mary leaves behind her home and everything familiar, carrying her infant Son into an unknown future. Even in the midst of uncertainty, she trusted God and followed where He led.

She teaches us that trusting God does not always mean knowing what comes next.

Sometimes faith looks like taking the next step, even when the road ahead is uncertain.

Today, we celebrate Mary's beginning and remember the faithful yes that would shape her entire life.

Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.

Today is the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. On this day, we honor the birth of Mary and her special role in salvation history.

Mary is closely linked with Christ because of her role as the “Theotokos” or “God-bearer.” Through her, God’s grace entered the world in the person of Jesus.

Take some time today to ask for Mary’s intercession or pray a rosary in honor of this feast.

On this feast day of St. Teresa of Calcutta, we reflect on the words that Jesus spoke to her heart calling her to service of the poor: “Come be my light.”

Jesus is also calling you with these words to be a light in your own way in the world. How can you answer this call? In what ways is God calling you to serve like Mother Teresa?

St. Teresa of Calcutta reminds us that holiness often looks like something small: noticing someone who feels left out, sitting with someone who needs a friend, helping without being asked, choosing kindness when it’s easier not to.
You may not be able to fix every problem around you, but you can love the person right in front of you.
Your St. Teresa challenge: Do ONE small thing today with great love.
Who needs that love from you?

Today is the feast of St. Gregory the Great.

St. Gregory the Great is a Doctor of the Church and he was a pope during the Middle Ages.

Originally a Roman prefect, Gregory resigned from his position to become a monk. He was later elected pope.

During this time, famine plagued Europe and he sought to relieve the impoverished by providing them with food from the agriculture of the Church’s various farmlands. Gregory also arranged for priests to daily attend to the poor in the city.

He also had a missionary heart and sent monks to bring the Gospel to England to convert the Anglo-Saxons.

Greogory died in 604 and was titled “the Great” for his servant’s heart. He is the patron of musicians, singers, students, and teachers.

St. Gregory the Great, pray for us!

The challenge of change doesn't have to be a painful confrontation with others or oneself, but rather a gentle invitation to know the Lord more intentionally.
