Today is Thursday of the 25th week in ordinary time. Let us pray. O God, may the gift of Your grace enable us to move beyond the vanities of the things of this world, and seek instead the truly lasting things of Your kingdom: mercy, justice, compassion, and peace. May our lives not be defined by the things we own and have amassed, but by the integrity of the faith we live, and the generosity of heart and spirit that our faith inspires.

The Feast of Saint Padre Pio

1 day ago

Today we celebrate The Feast of Saint Padre Pio. He was born in 1887 in a small Italian village. As a priest, he spent 50 years in a monastery, where he was much sought after as a spiritual advisor, confessor, and intercessor. Despite such notoriety, he would often say, "I only want to be a poor friar who prays." His life was devoted to the Eucharist and to prayer. [ 44 more words ]

Today the church celebrates The Feast of Saint Matthew, apostle and evangelist. His name is ascribed to the second gospel written, although when we name the Gospels, we named them Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Almost every scripture scholar worth his or her salt would say that Mark's gospel is by far the oldest, and that Matthews came after it. [ 65 more words ]
