“Follow me,” Jesus calls out in today’s Gospel. He summons us as well, and His call is challenging. Being a disciple means putting aside one’s own personal concerns. It also means following Jesus no matter how difficult. Up until now, Jesus spent His time preaching, teaching, and healing around Galilee. Now Jesus set off for Jerusalem. Though the disciples don’t realize it, He has embarked on the journey that leads to the cross. Jesus calls each of us to give up the things of the world, to repent of our sins, and to follow Him no matter the cost. He does not violate our freedom; however, He allows us to choose whether we will stay where we are or follow the way of the cross, which ultimately leads to everlasting life.Read More -
Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi). We are invited to share in this sacred meal in which Christ Himself provides the food and drink for us to consume—the bread of life and the cup of eternal salvation. Saint Paul tells us that Jesus told His disciples to remember Him each time they celebrated the Eucharist. So today, two thousand years later, after the first time His followers did, we celebrate the Eucharist— remembering that Jesus offered His body and blood to redeem us from sin, giving His earthly life to give us heavenly life.Read More -

We have returned to the liturgical season of Ordinary Time. However, today and next Sunday, the Church celebrates two solemnities—special days that call our attention to central mysteries of our faith. Today, we celebrate the Most Holy Trinity. This feast invites us to consider what we believe about God, who has revealed Himself to us in the Trinity—one God in three persons. The simplest prayer that we learned as children was how to make the Sign of the Cross and to pray the words: “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” May God: Father-Son-and Holy Spirit continue to be a guiding source in our daily lives.Read More -
The Easter season concludes with today’s celebration of Pentecost. On Pentecost we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles gathered in the upper room in Jerusalem; this event marks the beginning of the Church. As the world was transformed when Christ was born, making God incarnate in our world, the world is transformed once more with God’s gift of the Holy Spirit to all who are baptized, making God present continuously and forever in our world. In fire and wind, the Holy Spirit descends with God’s seven-fold gifts of wisdom, understanding, right judgment, courage, knowledge, reverence, and wonder. Let us use the Gifts of the Holy Spirit to bring healing and reconciliation to our community—to our world.Read More
