It's the longest day of the year! The sun is at its highest peak. What makes this so appropriate? June is devoted to the most Sacred Heart of Jesus – the Light of the World – and His Sacred Heart is on fire with love and mercy. The Good Newsroom

One thing that's clear from the Holy Bible is that God's never finished with us. He's always calling us, inviting us, changing us. We're kind of a work in progress! You see that with Abraham today. youtube.com/live/J4uF_Js6b…

When the Easter season is over, we have so many beautiful feasts to celebrate! We got Easter, of course, forty days later we got Ascension, and ten days later we got Pentecost Sunday. With the unleashing of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the feasts and the celebrations go on!

You just heard it! The Gospel tells us there was great consternation surrounding the birth of St. John the Baptist. Jesus said no greater man has been born of a woman than John the Baptist, so we better take him – and his message – very seriously. youtube.com/live/jm7axJpdR…

We get Abraham's plea this morning in our Bible reading. Of course, the Lord takes care of it! But what's important is not the human blood that runs through your veins, but the precious blood of Jesus Christ. youtube.com/live/oAH8j0Riq…

Last Sunday I had the honor to bless a new firetruck with our magnificent FDNY. The father of my boyhood pastor, Fr. Callahan, was a Captain of the fire department. When Fr. Callahan discerned that he was called to the priesthood, his dad said, "You'll still be saving people

On the feast of St. Josemaría Escrivá, I'm thinking about how there's a tendency to leave faith to other people. In Catholic imagination, we're tempted to leave it to the monks, priests, and sisters. St. Josemaría Escrivá said that we all have an obligation to holiness!

This Sunday is the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul! In many parishes around the world, this is the day we have a second collection for Peter's Pence. Have you ever heard of that? It's our annual opportunity to aid the successor of Peter, our Holy Father Pope Leo XIV, in his

I know you're going to say I should quit repeating myself, but it happens to be the feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus! I hope you know it by now: All for Thee, Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in

The Saturday after the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is always the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Pope St. John Paul II said it very well. Remember, at the center of all creation beats two hearts – the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Today is the feast of the Protomartyrs of Rome, the first martyrs of the Church in Rome. Peter and Paul were among the first martyrs, and hundreds and if not thousands within the next decades would be martyred as well. They would not worship the emperor. They would only worship

St. Junípero Serra was a Franciscan missionary in what we now call California. He started in Mexico and worked his way up, naming the different towns. A great saint, a missionary, a loving preacher of the Gospel. St. Junípero Serra, pray for us! The Good Newsroom

July is traditionally dedicated to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus. It was shed for us on the Cross for our redemption, salvation, and our forgiveness of sins, and is shared with us in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ. The Good Newsroom

People from India proudly call themselves "St. Thomas Christians" because it was St. Thomas the Apostle who went there! Today is the feast of St. Thomas the Apostle, who came a long way from "Doubting Thomas" and went on to become one of the great missionaries of the Church.

Happy Fourth of July! Today we rightly celebrate Independence Day. Our founding fathers, though, knew that the secret of this nation is that we would acknowledge our dependence upon Almighty God. The Good Newsroom

This is the first Saturday of July. I mention that because first Saturdays are important in our Catholic chemistry! When Our Blessed Mother appeared in Fatima in 1917, she invited the three shepherd children to advocate devotion to Mary on the first Saturday of every month.

I'm interrupting my vacation to tell you about a great saint: St. Benedict, founder of monasticism! Great centers of scholarship, worship, and prayer, monasteries became the glue that held Europe together during the so-called "dark ages." Happy feast of St. Benedict, especially
