As we celebrate the Jubilee of Governments from 20โ22 June, let us lift our hearts in prayer for those who lead. We may not hold positions of power, but we hold something just as important โ the ability to pray.
Let us lift up our leaders, asking God to bless them with wisdom, compassion, and the courage to lead with justice and mercy. May all nations be a place where peace is rooted in love, and every person is treated with dignity. ๐

Ericโs journey to the Catholic faith began in the 1980s when he witnessed conversions in his family โ first his brother, then his mother. Their gentle witness, through invitations to Mass and conversations about Mary, sparked his curiosity about the faith.
Though interested, Eric delayed joining RCIA for years due to work. During a difficult season at his job, he began turning to prayer, seeking peace, strength, and comfort. After 32 years in the same job, he resigned and finally felt ready to begin RCIA.
Through RCIA, Eric gained a deeper understanding of the faith, one not focused on rules or rituals, but on Godโs love, mercy, and grace, which strengthen us to carry our crosses. These truths became especially meaningful when he faced challenges during his journey, including a retinal detachment that required emergency surgery.
Despite hardships, Eric saw Godโs presence, either in the peace he felt or through the people around him.

This June, the Church gives us a beautiful gift โ six great solemnities, all drawing our hearts back to one central mystery: ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ.
Each celebration invites us to encounter Jesus more deeply in the Eucharist, where He gives Himself fully to us: Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. In every Eucharist, we donโt just receive Christ; we are gently transformed by Him, little by little, into His love.

Do you start to sweat when someone asks you to pray for them? ๐ฐ
๐ Remember, your prayers don't have to be perfect nor eloquent. God will understand and He already knows what you need before you ask (Matthew 6:7-8).

Many men carry stress, anxiety, burnout, and deep sadness in silence, believing they have to โdeal with itโ on their own. But strength isn't about being invincible. True strength is being real.
Jesus wept. St. Joseph faced uncertainty. Even the greatest saints had moments of fear and weakness. What made them strong was not the absence of struggle, but their willingness to lean on God and the people God placed in their lives.
If you're going through a hard time, please know this: you're not less of a man for feeling it. You're not alone. It's okay to speak up. It's okay to seek help. Meditate on Christ who suffered alongside us, and ask the saints to intercede for you. Remember, healing begins when we open our hearts to Godโs love and allow His grace to renew our strength.

On this Jubilee of Seminarians, let us keep in prayer all the men in formation to become priests in our archdiocese and in the world. St.Therese of Lisieux, who had a particular mission to pray for priests and seminarians, enlightens us on the need for us to keep these men constantly in prayer, for โif their sublime dignity lifts them above the angels, this does not mean that they are not weak and fragile.โ So let us, as Church, join St. Therese of Lisieux in interceding for the men who have courageously and selflessly answered the call of God in their lives, to be His missionary.
May the Lord be close to all seminarians as they receive the intellectual, spiritual, human, and pastoral formation that they need to become priests after the heart of Christ, and may they come to love and serve His Church in a way that reflects the unconditional and merciful love of the Good Shepherd.

Choosing the right school for your child can feel overwhelming and thatโs okay. Itโs not just about academics, but about finding a space that will nurture your childโs heart, mind, and soul.
For Catholic parents, this decision is especially tender. How do we choose a school that supports our childโs growth ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ our faith?
Fr. Mike Schmitz reminds us that God doesnโt leave us to figure it out alone. In one of his talks, he shares four powerful questions to help us discern with wisdom.

It is not easy being a bishop, priest or deacon in the Church. These ordained ministers are being constantly pulled in different directions and are under extreme pressure.
While we may not always understand the weight they bear, one of the most powerful things we ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ do is to pray for them. May God strengthen them in heart and spirit, uphold them in truth, and help them remain faithful to their calling to lead, serve, and love as Christ did.

There is so much division in our world โ nations at war, families torn apart, hearts hardened by fear and pain. It can feel overwhelming, even hopeless at times.
But as people of faith, we are not powerless. One of the most powerful things we can do is pray โ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ pray for peace. Peace in the world, peace in our homes, peace in our hearts.
Let us never tire of lifting up this cry to God:
๐๐จ๐ซ๐, ๐ฆ๐๐ค๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐. ๐๐๏ธ
Even when we don't know what else to do, we can always begin with prayer.

Today, as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we also celebrate the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests and the last day of the Jubilee of Priests (25-27 June 2025).
We thank and praise God for our priests who help us to experience the presence of the Lord through the sacraments, and their witness to the faith.
Let us keep them in our prayers and, also with the intercession of the saints, ask the Lord to sustain them in their ministry and deepen their love for Christ and His people. In moments of stress, loneliness, or discouragement, may the Lord draw near to them and grant them the graces they need to continue to find joy in the work they do.
