16th Sunday OT - Andrei Rublev's inspiration for his Icon of the Holy Trinity is our 1st reading: Genesis 18:1-10a. Icons are not merely pictures but windows into mystery! The Trinity is inviting us into God's very life. Let's accept the invitation! #NPSCfaith

Happy Feast Day of St. Mary Magdalene, the Apostle to the Apostles. From all his disciples, Jesus asked her to be the 1st proclaimer of his Resurrection. The Icon was recently acquired by me on a pilgrimage in the footsteps of St. Paul with Living w Christ #NPSCfaith

17th Sunday in Ordinary Time What does it mean to you that we have been buried and raised with Christ in Baptism? How does that knowledge impact how we live our lives? Unfortunately, we don't reflect enough upon what it means to be baptized into Christ! #NPSCfaith

Happy Feast day of Saints Martha, Mary & Lazarus! How cool is it that they are siblings and we celebrate them together as a family! For their love and faithfulness Jesus rewarded their faith by his greatest miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead. #NPSCfaith

WOW! July 29th Pope Leo XIV addresses Catholic Influencers but his message applies to all of us that use Social Media. If we only had ears to hear & the humility to obey Pope Leo's directive! #NPSCfaith

18th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Lk 12:13-21) Jesus calls the rich man tearing down his barns to build bigger ones a FOOL! It causes me to reflect & ask is there something about the way I am living that would cause Jesus to say the same thing to me? #NPSCfaith

Wow! I ❤️‍🔥this! What an important message to youth from Pope Leo XIV (Pope Leo) to the participants in the 36th International Youth Festival but very relevant to people of all ages! #NPSCfaith

19th Sunday: What a wonderful message for all of us to hear but particularly NPSCDSB as we are about to begin our YEAR of Faith! Faith is not an antiquated placebo for the weak rather it is a radical act of belief that despite evidence to the contrary -- God is at Work!

Happy Solemnity of the #AssumptionOfMary! What an inspiring message from Pope Leo XIV (Pope Leo) during our Iubilaeum25 (Jubilee of Hope)! #NPSCfaith

20th Sunday Jesus: Strive to enter through the "narrow" door, for many will try & won't be able to enter. Wow! I very much want to be able to enter. So I guess I had better figure out what it means for me to enter through the narrow door! #NPSCfaith

Pope Leo traveled to the Marian Shrine of Our Lady of Grace in the village of Mentorella - just 65km (40 miles) southeast of Rome this morning. Cared for by the Resurrectionists, Popes Benedict XVI and John Paul II both made pilgrimages to the sanctuary early in their

Pope Leo calls us to make Fri. Aug. 22, a Day of Prayer and Fasting for Peace! “I ask you to include in your intentions the supplication for the gift of peace – a peace that is disarmed and disarming – for the whole world, especially for Ukraine & the Middle East." #NPSCfaith

21st Sunday (Lk 13:22-30) Jesus said: "some are last who will be 1st, & some are 1st who will be last." How am I 1st? How am I last? Should I spend my time striving to be 1st or last? Which will help me enter Heaven? #NPSCfaith

22nd Sunday As we unofficially transition out of Summer our 1st reading challenges us to perform our tasks with humility so we will be loved by those whom God accepts for... #NPSCfaith

chicagocatholic.com/cardinal-blase… Great short article by Cardinal Cupich well worth the read!

The 23rd Sunday's Gospel has Jesus using hyperbole: unless you hate your loved ones & your life itself you can't be his disciple. Translate: If we really want to be a follower than we have to prioritize HIM! How can we make Jesus more of a priority in our lives? #NPSCfaith

Today would have been dad's birthday. This is the last picture of mom, dad & I at the Resurrectionists Canada Camp on Four Mile Bay. In your charity please pray for the repose of dad's soul and for mom who still continues to bravely soldier on.

Happy Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross! 3 St. Joseph Scollard Hall CSS Students boldly lift up our NPSCDSB Year of Faith Cross! Sometimes it is easy to carry our Cross and other times we feel crushed by its weight. Let us help each other as we walk together in #Faith! #npscfaith

Happy Feast day of St. Hildegard, Doctor of the Church. One of my favourite quotes of hers: "There is the music of Heaven in all things, & like billowing clouds, like the incessant gurgle of the brook, the longing of the spirit can never be stilled." #NPSCfaith

25th Sunday (Lk 16:1-13) Jesus invites us to consider not only the "big" stuff of fidelity but also the "small" stuff of our daily interactions with one other. In fact, he does not think we can be faithful with the big stuff if we are not faithful in the small stuff! #NPSCfaith
