“Father of mercy, who gave us in St. Damien de Veuster
a shining witness of love for the poorest and most abandoned,
grant that, by his intercession, as faithful witnesses of the heart of your Son Jesus, we too may be servants of the most needy and rejected” (Collect).

Mary, our Loving Mother, teach us to listen attentively to God’s Word and to consider carefully its meaning for our lives. May we encounter your Son, Jesus, in our meditation on His Word.

The #AscensionOfTheLord tells us that Jesus is alive among us in a new way. He is now present in every place and time, and is close to each of us. We are never alone: we have an Advocate who guides us, waits for us, and defends us.

Let us pray for the men as they prepare for their ordinations.

All are welcome to the Rites of Ordinations at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart on May 19 and May 25. Click below to learn more.

“Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Mt 28:20). Jesus promises to be close to us always.

Pray for us Blessed Mother Mary. In these days of unjust aggression and violence, help us to be women and men who stand for dialogue, forgiveness, and a lasting peace.

“I have chosen you from the world, says the Lord, and have appointed you to go out and bear fruit, fruit that will last” (Jn 15: 16,19). Our Redeemer knows who we are. He calls us by our name.

Holy Mary, you pondered the mysteries of God’s love in your heart (cf. Lk 2:51) and responded generously. Pray for us, Dearest Mother. May we respond wholeheartedly as you did.

“Christ, having risen from the dead, dies now no more; death will no longer have dominion over him” (Rm 6:9). Our Redeemer has conquered sin and death. Alleluia!

Holy Mary, your Son calls us “friends” (cf. Jn 15:12–17). He gave His life for us—once and for all—on the Cross, the instrument of death that He has transformed into an image of selfless love. Show us the way to follow Him.

During National Nurses Week, we express our gratitude to all nurses for their selfless service and care.
