Celebrating Memorial Day

Today our nation remembers the sacrifices of so many ... those whose actions allow us to speak our opinions openly, participate in our government, and worship freely.

In the midst of cookouts and moments with family today, let us remember those who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is our freedom. Let us forever be grateful.

Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church

“Behold, your mother”

Loving God, we praise your Holy and Glorious Name forever. We thank you for giving us the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church. May her faithfulness and her obedience become the source of strength for us to confidently say ‘yes’ and faithfully do your will in our life. May the Blessed Virgin Mary intercede for the Church and all her children that we may be strengthened to stand at the foot of the crosses of our suffering brothers and sisters.

Holy Mary, Mother of the Church. Pray for us.
