The riches of the Holy Eucharist in sacrifice and sacrament.   August 21, 2025 Saint Pius X Dear Family of Mary! Today is the Memorial of Saint Pius X, who reigned as Pope from 1903 to 1914. Due to the confusion in the Church that was rampant during his time, Pope Pius X focused on restoring truth in the hearts of the faithful. He wrote the encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis, also known as “Feeding the Lord’s Flock,” which was published in 1907. This encyclical addressed the dangers of Modernism within the Catholic Church, outlining its tenets and calling for its eradication. He also wrote a “question and answer” Catechism which was a powerful guide and protection to the faithful during that time of confusion. He had a deep devotion to the Eucharist, and helped the faithful to re-focus on Jesus, present for them in this Sacrament. We need the intercession of St. Pius today, for we live in similar times! Our Lady is doing a very similar work. She has consistenly directed us to her Son, especially present in the Eucharist. Here is one such message she gave to us: June 2, 2012 “Dear children, I am continuously among you because, with my endless love, I desire to show you the door of Heaven. I desire to tell you how it is opened: through goodness, mercy, love and peace – through my Son. Therefore, my children, do not waste time on vanities. Only knowledge of the love of my Son can save you. Through that salvific love and the Holy Spirit He chose me and I, together with Him, am choosing you to be apostles of His love and will. My children, great is the responsibility upon you. I desire that by your example you help sinners regain their sight, enrich their poor souls and bring them back into my embrace. Therefore, pray, pray, fast and confess regularly. If receiving my Son in the Eucharist is the center of your life then do not be afraid, you can do everything. I am with you. Every day I pray for the shepherds and I expect the same of you. Because, my children, without their guidance and strengthening through their blessing, you cannot do it. Thank you.” May we put Jesus in the Eucharist at the center of our lives, and then live without fear the true faith for all to see!! Here is a novena prayer to St. Pius X that we could pray today! Novena Prayer to St. Pius X: Glorious Pope of the Eucharist, St. Pius X, you sought to restore all things in Christ. Obtain for me a true love of Jesus so that I may live only for him. Help me to acquire a lively fervor and a sincere will to strive for sanctity of life, and that I may avail myself of the riches of the Holy Eucharist in sacrifice and sacrament. By your love for Mary, Mother and Queen of all, inflame my heart with tender devotion to her. Blessed model of the priesthood, obtain for us holy, dedicated priests, and increase vocations to the religious life. Dispel confusion and hatred and anxiety, and incline our hearts to peace and concord, so that all nations will place themselves under the sweet reign of Christ. Amen. (Mention your intention here…). Saint Pius X, Pray for us. (Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…) Jesus, in the Blessed Sacrament, I adore you!!

I offer you the Kingdom of God.   August 20, 2025 St. Bernard Dear Family of Mary! Today’s Gospel is Mt 10:1-16. Jesus teaches about the owner of a vineyard who hires workers throughout the day, and in the end pays them all the same wage. This story flies in the face of good stewardship!! You can’t run a business like that!!! And how do the workers feel who worked the entire day? But we know that Jesus was talking about the Kingdom of God in this parable. The end of the day prefigures the entrance into that Kingdom. We all desire to enter that Kingdom. And Our Lady desires this for us. And of course, each person in the parable who got the same wage, was actually getting eternal life with God! Not one of them could have earned that! Heaven is a gift beyond counting!! So the wages were and are incalcuable!! Here are two messages from Our Lady in which she talks about the Kingdom of God! Let her words speak to our hearts. She wants us to have the Kingdom of God in our hearts even now and then to enter the Kingdom of God, just like those workers! July 2, 2010 “Dear children; my motherly call, which I direct to you today, is a call of truth and life. My Son, who is life, loves you and knows you in truth. To come to know and to love yourself, you must come to know my Son; to come to know and to love others, you must see my Son in them. Therefore, my children, pray, pray, that you may comprehend and surrender with a spirit that is free, be completely transformed and, in this way, may have the Kingdom of Heaven in your heart on earth. Thank you!” August 2, 2010 “Dear children! Today I call you, together with me, to begin to build the Kingdom of Heaven in your hearts; that you may forget that which is personal and, led by the example of my Son, think of what is of God. What does He desire of you? Do not permit satan to open the paths of earthly happiness, the paths without my Son. My children, they are false and last a short while. My Son exists. I offer you eternal happiness and peace and unity with my Son, with God; I offer you the Kingdom of God. Thank you.” Yes, Mother Mary, we want to be those workers who approached the Landowner to ask for work. Morning, noon, or evening – what ever stage of life we are in – we want to approach the Landowner (Our Lord and God) and ask for work. We want to be His in such a way that we will get the same daily wage, entrance into God’s Glorious Kingdom! We know that you want this too. Guide us to our Heavenly King, and present us to Him as His humble laborers. We say yes! Please hire us, Lord!!
