Jesus, the #GoodShepherd , knows us and calls us by name. When we are lost, He seeks us until He finds us (Lk 15:4-5). Jesus not only shares the life of the flock, He is the Good Shepherd, who sacrificed His life for us and, having risen, has given us His Spirit. #ReginaCoeli
The World Day of #PrayerForVocations invites us to reflect on the precious gift of the call that the Lord extends to each of us. May we participate in His loving plan and incarnate the beauty of the Gospel in all states of life.
Let us #PrayTogether for millions of children who live in conditions bordering on slavery. Every child who has been abandoned, marginalized, or left without healthcare or schooling is a cry that rises up to God!
No more war, no more attacks, no more violence! Yes to dialogue and yes to peace! Let us #PrayTogether for peace.
The #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 24:35-48) invites us to share the moments when we perceived the Lord living and close, kindling joy in our hearts or drying our tears, transmitting trust and consolation, or forgiveness, tenderness, and peace.
Jesus knows us and loves us. If we remain in Him, we should not fear because every cross will be transformed into resurrection, every sadness into hope, and all mourning into dancing. #EasterSeason
Life can be filled with contradictions, frustrated desires, broken dreams, and lost friendships. Yet, the Resurrection of Jesus allows us to believe that all will be redeemed. #EasterSeason
The joy of the Resurrection is ours, because it was given to us on the day of our Baptism. May we embrace the joy of this #EasterSeason ! Let us hasten to seek out the Risen Christ in the Eucharist, in His forgiveness, in prayer, and in charitable deeds.
With the Resurrection of Jesus, evil has lost its power and our failures cannot prevent us from starting anew. Death has become a gateway to the beginning of new life. #GeneralAudience
The motherhood of Mary is the most direct and easiest path leading us to the paternal tenderness of God. Our Mother leads us to the beginning and heart of faith, which is a boundless gift that makes us beloved children, tabernacles of the Father’s love. #AnnunciationOfTheLord
