"The Sacred Heart of Jesus reminds us of our call to sacrificial, unconditional and generous love for others, for each member of the Body of Christ and the call for us to be the heart, the hands and the face of Christ to all those we encounter each day. " - Archbishop Leo.

On this day, the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we celebrate the joy of Your Presence in her heart and in the hearts of Elizabeth and John. Help us to feel Your presence in our lives so that we can be filled with that same joy. Amen.

Jesus said to his disciples: "I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth." Jn 16:12-13

"I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit" Jn 15:5. You are the source of all goodness, dear Lord, and without You, I can do nothing.

Loving Father, thank you for the beautiful and diverse human family. Help us to see that we can do our part so that the world's resources can be shared. Thank you for your gift of creation. Amen.

Wishing each an everyone of you a blessed Easter and may this Easter season be a time of renewal. Remember that Christ has died and is Risen! He has come to bring us life! Alleluia!

My divine Lord, You and You alone must become the focus of my life. Help me not to fall into temptations that lead to empty promises. The true and fulfilling promises always come from You.

Lord, as we enter into this Holy Week, we pray that it will be a time in which we express our love for You. Help us to pour forth that love in abundance this week so as to show You the glory and praise You deserve.
