Delivered by Vici from the Parish of Saint John the Baptist in the Archdiocese of Jakarta, Indonesia. 1 John 2: 18-21; Rs psalm 96: 1-2.11-12.13; John 1: 1-18.THE LAST MOMENT Our meditation today isentitled: The Last Moment. The begining and the end occur in history of life.God is eternal where the beginning and the end actually unites each other. Whenthe writer of the first Letter of John says that today is the last hour, heactually proclaims about God's own words to remind us of the history of ourlives on earth. The last moment inthe simplest understanding is related to a period of time that eventually endsat certain point of history and passes away. We use the measurement of timesuch as seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years. When a measureof time ends, it signifies the completion of an activity or life event and weusually say it as "time is over". Today, December 31st,we remember it as the last time or the last hour of 2025. The period of lifefrom the first seconds to the last seconds of the year 2025 will reach itsfinal point at 00:00 midnight. This entire day of today will be filled withvarious activities of individuals, families or communities that reflect oursense of gratitude and hope for the coming new year. But today's readingswant to teach us that our reflection on the last moment is not enough to takeinto account a period of events and activities in our lives. It is not enoughto contemplate life only on the surface, that is, today will pass and tomorrowwill come the next day. God actually reminds us that He is indeed above time. It is not time thatdetermines the fate of life that has a beginning and an end, but only God whodetermines it. An elderly man once said this expression: "Too bad I wasborn first, if I were born after I would have enjoyed all the conveniences andadvancements of this age." Then a teenager also said the following:"What makes me jealous is that adults are more mature and successful intheir endeavors." Both expressions fromthat somehow show regret are the examples of persons who see this life only amatter of time that defines one's life. This is a superficial attitude of lifeor an experience life only on the surface. For believers, life and its purposemust be deeper and aspire to reach the highest end. Our life and journey offaith must depend only on God. We mus become true disciples of the Lord and letHim guide us along the way to perfection. We must rely on God who determinesour lives today and tomorrow.Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O heavenly Father, bless and enable us to make every moment of our lives meaningfuland may our attitudes of faith always follow your will consistently. Our Fatherwho art in heaven ... In the name of the Father ...

He is a seminarian in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, attending St. Charles Borromeo Seminary.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Sunday, December 28, the Fourth Day within the Octave of Christmas, is the Feast of the Holy Family, an invitation to every Christian family to live in harmony and in prayer, which are the pledges of joy and union.At the end of the past century, Pope Leo XIII promoted this feast to present the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph as the model of all Christian families.Although they were the holiest family that ever lived, or ever will live, on earth, as they were God's closest friends, they had more than their share of this world's troubles. Today's Gospel from Matthew 2:13-15; 19-23 tells us of some of these earthly woes and sufferings.They had just settled in Bethlehem, and the Baby Jesus was only a few months old when, to avoid his murder at the hands of Herod, they had to flee from Bethlehem and become displaced persons in a foreign and pagan land.This story is a message of encouragement and consolation for every one of us. If the Holy Family suffered such trials and hardships, we should be ready to bear the trials that God sends us for our own eternal welfare.The devotion to the Holy Family was born in Bethlehem, together with the Baby Jesus. The shepherds went to adore the Child and, at the same time, to honor His family. Later, in a similar way, the three wise men came from the East to adore and give honor to the newborn King with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh that His family would safeguard.Christ Himself showed His devotion to His mother and foster father by submitting Himself, with infinite humility, to the duty of filial obedience towards them.Today's celebration demonstrates Christ's humility and obedience regarding the fourth commandment, whilst also highlighting the loving care that His parents exercised in keeping Him.Let us imitate the Holy Family in our Christian families, and our families will be a prefiguration of the heavenly family. We say a prayer dedicating your family to the Holy Family. Also, we pray for all families to uphold the sanctity of the marriage bond, today under attack.Traditionally, the Feast of the Holy Innocents is celebrated on December 28th. Still, since that falls on a Sunday this year, many Western churches, like those in the Archdiocese of NY, observe it on Monday, December 29, 2025, to commemorate the baby boys killed by King Herod, honoring them as the first martyrs for Christ.Ave MariaCome, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkNew Upgrade!

Delivered by Johana from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. 1 John 2: 3-11; Rs psalm 96: 1-2a.2b-3.5b-6; Luke 2: 22-35.A FREE JOY The title for ourmeditation today is: A Free Joy. There were priests, religious men and women whoheld for the first time a reunion in their parish of origin. The celebrationand party were so lively and full of memories. One of the memories was thatthey met Aunt Maria, a childless widow who served as the sacristan in theParish church for decades. Many priests and nuns have known Aunt Maria assacristan since they were children. The reunion was truly a blessed moment forthe sacristan Maria. For Aunt Maria,working and serving in the Church for the rest of her life was an endless joy.This joy is free, because it does not need a complicated process, there are noapplications and recruitment tests. Someone needs only good will, joy,generosity, and faitfulness. This is also the experience of Simeon and Hannah,old man and woman who devoted their lives in the temple, in prayer andsacrifice. They found joy there. They hoped that one day salvation andliberation would come for the people of Israel. Both Aunt Maria and thosetwo old persons, they inspire us about joy as a blessing from God. According tothe Scriptures, grace is free and not to be puchased. What is really needed isour willingness to stay and serve God through the Church, so that grace andblessings will be poured out to us in abundance. Aunt Maria found the LordJesus through the meeting with the fruits of God's calling from her parish. Simeonand Hannah themselves met the child Jesus and believed that their lives werealready full and sufficient. We can learn fromthis inspiration. In this Christmas season, we at least find in Jesus Christ ananswer to our questions, doubts, searches or hopes. That answer can be either athanskgiving for a meaningful year 2025 that is going away or a meaningfulrealization of dreams in the coming year 2026. That is why we believe andunderstand that joy as the grace of God is gratuitous. It is good that everyone of us would mention one's own dream during moments of prayer and encounterwith God. Aunt Maria, Simeonand Hannah expressed their joy and gratefulness. They found the true meaning ofthe Gospel, which is God who came to find and give meaning to their lives. We hopethat we can also find such joy. The Gospel that opens its meaning and shapesour lives is the Gospel of life, therefore we call it the good news. We mustproclaim the good news of the Lord. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O Lord Jesus Christ, bless us with the fullness of Your Spirit. May we everjoyful to give You thanks for all the goodness and successes that we haveachieved in each of our work and sacrifice. Give us also encouragement to workhard. Hail Mary, full of Grace ... In the name of the Father...

Delivered by Margareth, Greg, Kezia, Svara Nirmala from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Sirach 3: 2-6.12-14; Rs psalm 128: 1-2.3.4-5; Colossians 3: 12-21; Matthew 2: 13-15.19-23.TOGETHER WE CARE FORFAMILY The title for ourmeditation on this Feast of the Holy Family is: Together We Care for Family. Fromthe moment of creation, God has created humans to live in the family, whichbegins with mutual love between a man and a woman. From there comes marriageand the offspring it produces. The first andforemost commandment for the family life is a man to take a woman as his wifeand they live in unity of one flesh. One man and one woman united by God on thebasis of love and in the name of God. Another equally important commandment isthat marriage produces offspring. For a marriage toremain united, then the children of the marriage grow in accordance withexpectations, therefore, discipline in life is needed. According to the Scripturereadings of today, we can call this discipline of life a common responsibilityto care for the family. God forms a familynot with just one person, but one man and one woman plus children with theuniqueness of each. They must walk and work together to build a family. Theyare together not only when the family is happy or having good moments of growthand life. They must be stronger in unity and cooperation among its members whendifficulties and threats come to endanger the life of the family. God wishes parentsand children's relationship must be taken care to help families to become happy,peaceful and healthy in their journey of life. According to the book of Sirach,a man of faith who fears God and is faithful to His commandments, must practiceit through obedience to his parents. We believe that parents are God'srepresentatives to us on this world. The way we together carefor families is also mentioned in the teaching of Saint Paul in the secondreading today. It says that a family must live with love. The family beginswith the love of a husband and a wife, is built in love, and expected to finallyarrive at perfect love, which is in unity with God. The story of the HolyFamily of Nazareth who fled to Egypt is an example of how we together care forfamilies when they are in trouble, under threat, and in danger. This commonduty  is done not only among the membersof one's family or neighbors, but also with the power of God who intervenes.When God intervenes in our trouble and problematic families, the work of caringfor them will be easier and meeting its good end. God helps when the family is introuble.  Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O Lord, may this Sunday, Feast of the Holy Family help our families to livemore faithful and obedient to You. Hail Mary, full of grace ... In the name ofthe Father ...

Delivered by Angeline from the Church of Saint Catherine in the Archdiocese of Seattle, USA. Acts of the Apostle 6: 8-10; 7: 54-59; Rs psalm 31: 3cd-4.6.8ab.16bc.17; Matthew 10: 17-22.WAY OF THE CROSSAFTER CHRISTMAS The title for ourmeditation today is: Way of the Cross After Christmas. Today we celebrate thefeast of St. Stephen, a distinguished disciple of Jesus and the first martyr ofthe Church. He was one of the deacons chosen to serve the corporeal affairs ofthe Early Church community, while the apostles focused on the service of theword and prayer, as narrated in the Acts of the Apostles. With this feast ofmartyrdom on the second day of Christmas, the inspiration that is appropriateto us is the life in the Holy Spirit. The mystery of incarnation that wereflect upon, then understand and believe in, it's because of the help of theHoly Spirit. Jesus Christ who was lying as a baby in a manger knew clearly Hisdestiny that eventually brought him to the top of Golgotha. The calm, peacefuland joyful Bethlehem is closely connected with the ​​hill of Golgotha, and thisconnection is actually the path to be walked on by Jesus, the Savior. So the connectionbetween these two places in the Palestinian land actually reveals the mainreason why the Son of God, the eternal Word, became human in order to redeemhumanity from the bondage of sin and death. The outcome of this is a new lifegiven to all followers of Jesus Christ who are sons and daughters of theFather. From the beginning of his life Jesus taught the lesson of theScriptures, and he confirmed it through his way of life, that the way to theFather is the way of the cross. He shows us the example of his own path ofpassion and death. Saint Stephen is thefirst person in the Church who was in Jerusalem at that time facing and bearingthe cross. If we all choose to share in the glory of Jesus Christ, then we mustcarry our crosses daily and follow Christ through the path that He had walkedon. To give encouragement and strength, Jesus frankly tells the apostles,disciples and all of His followers about the risks of following Him. Thisbecomes possible only if we submit ourselves under the guidance of the HolySpirit. The Christmas messageactually contains risks to be faced by the followers of Christ. Jesus from thebeginning of His birth had those risks. Every baptized person is made clearabout this, that the risks and ultimate goal of taking part in Jesus Christ willonly be achieved through the cross. Glory and happiness in Christ must be paidfirst with a very high price, which is self-sacrifice and death, including theway experienced by Saint Stephen. Jesus' message to usis that He had given us sufficient grace so that everyone of us is able to takeup the cross and can endure sacrifices in life for the sake of glory andhappiness being with Him. So there will be no bad, cruel or empty cross,sacrifice, and suffering in Christ.Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen us always with Your grace so that we canaccept and carry our crosses with joy and hope. Glory to the Father and to theSon and to the Holy Spirit ... In the name of the Father ...

Is the ideal of priesthood stuck in the past? I love the saints—especially guys like St. John Vianney—but trying to imitate their circumstances can leave today's priests feeling defeated before they even begin. In this episode, Fr. Scott Traynor and I get honest about how different our world is now, and why that's not a problem to mourn but a mission to embrace. We talk about the heart of priesthood today: prayer, the sacraments, and investing deeply in a few people who can carry the Gospel into a culture that's drifting away from Christ. And here's the hope: renewal isn't about going backward. It's about priests doing what only they can do—celebrate, preach, shepherd—and unleashing the laity to live their mission with confidence. If you've ever felt the weight of expectations you can't live up to or wondered whether your parish can actually flourish in a secular age, this conversation will help you imagine a future filled with purpose and hope. 01:21 Meet Father Scott Traynor 04:34 The Legacy of St. John Vianney 10:51 Historical Context of Parish Life 21:25 Modern Parish Challenges and Solutions 31:49 The Role of the Parish Priest 37:07 The Power of Relationships in Evangelization 48:36 Building a Leadership Culture in Parishes 51:20 The Transmission of Faith in Parish Life 56:18 Practical Steps to Start Evangelizing 59:18 Final Thoughts and Encouragement Books mentioned in this podcast: * From Christendom to Apostolic Mission (https://www.amazon.com/Christendom-Apostolic-Mission-Pastoral-Strategies/dp/099887289X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2E2L8F8IOB42N&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.XqKmGIzYvYr-zvy0QndfgnMKCsZRmHDUNoxT0QFQ1VKN8K-x4U9-23N6FKaINctQRdcJ2Y-KVB1n9q_-02RXaQFu3JKj_D2UaFMsXio5iL8qHcWIkExs8O_RQWN2GNqJJz39d74ZuQZwV1PwrBCRnr1SVysF2YUXsfjFOua3ItA.pmztDhf-W2Kl7B86unRBY7RHm47SOnfQrSvoQv_tpHQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=christendom+to+apostolic+mission&qid=1761847022&sprefix=christendo%2Caps%2C128&sr=8-1) * The Advantage (https://www.amazon.com/Advantage-Organizational-Health-Everything-Business/dp/0470941529/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3LV5AYGA5BPB9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pPRUd5gbTy8ZS0gf6wabwlOFgACN0bQpmLwoTMrIGmSTxCYoPY0FjrfPBh7aQszRjXrnAKRFtbcIpW1JsaWGItGIeOK3Av_DAj8r_SozPM-ObY_W38owgx6dxP1T2hRY9ii4K1ROXgI8mCVsA1Lut0j8Cc4rihJCQbZElVqY7QDmHdcIT5Uv5OV2Z4t25hb4XfBPUeKbBrlsKU9ypcRgYcxgqCBNHlBWm5z0CuFe63Q.uOxeU74PuOLrlcqUskPl52pIBpNgGtBEvA_pam_L1ns&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+advantage&qid=1761846981&sprefix=the+advantage%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-1) * The Parish as a School of Prayer (https://www.amazon.com/Parish-School-Prayer-Foundations-Evangelization/dp/0984379290/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xjrcQDgEMBWlxKjai4BRe8shADNgx-7FbNGjGs3CLz6nrw22ye0_9Nd70NsI2Rlx21YZOMT3aA1ZW2-z7UtEr2CTvs364_wDKSyhYxJ6m-WC-OPad6HSoln9JoNy6DJQEVz48d0Ahi3gne4nixa6FNY3UnNog9KOYdaTgHm70rEvTZPzbvwaZBOcqrM6uF7HhEWNOKfX0n8N4F0W-DP1mQ.PrK21-PNy3S5lKIt-Iz0KFRarRz4CyIT9M1NJmkB7rw&dib_tag=se&hvadid=598657698172&hvdev=c&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=9189219&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=11773289655691973530--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=11773289655691973530&hvtargid=kwd-310940649083&hydadcr=8293_13544394&keywords=the+parish+as+a+school+of+prayer&mcid=b50e44803f3a31b880115cd37b4215b7&qid=1761846939&sr=8-1) For more practical advice and experiences from real people sharing their mission with the world, go to https://equip.archomaha.org/podcast/.

We're joined by Johnny Hebert with Gospel reflection. Sarah McDonald, Communications Director in the Archdiocese of New Orleans, provides a news update. Dr. Tom Neal, Chief of Evangelization and Mission Engagement of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee, talks about St. John of the Cross.

Patrick steers lively conversations about faith, culture, and Catholic living, opening with reflections on religious freedom and the unique presence of a presidential message honoring the Immaculate Conception. He responds with candor to concerns about unreliable AI-generated information, offers practical guidance on distinguishing authentic homeschooling, and questions variations in liturgical practices, always bringing listeners back to Church tradition. Unexpected questions about friendship, morality, and family struggles challenge Patrick to give direct, compassionate advice with both gravity and warmth. David - Did you talk about the statement from the President on the Immaculate Conception? I think it is worth talking about regarding our religious freedom as Catholics. (00:39) Mary - I think Chat GPT can be wrong sometimes. Chat GPT even got the Pope's name wrong at one point. I am skeptical. (03:51) Shannon - I homeschooled for 12 years. We need to distinguish schooling at home with a public-school curriculum vs true homeschooling where parents have control over the curriculum. (06:48) Chris - I noticed at a Church I attend, they don't say 'The Mass is ended'. Also, the priest at Confession didn't make me say the Act of Contrition. (11:30) Bill (email) - I bow my head when “Jesus Christ” is said during Mass. Is this part of the rubrics or traditional or am I doing something that doesn’t belong? (20:47) Cathy - People bowing to the priest. I was taught that you should bow for the cross and not the priest. We also would bow when the priest holds up the Bible. What is your view? (23:43) Patrick in Monterey, CA - I thought no graven images were allowed in the Church? Doesn't the Bible prohibit graven images? (27:49) Archdiocese of Boston says, ‘ICE was here’ Nativity scene violates norms for sacred imagery (34:01) Shelly - My friend is keeping company with a married man. I know the married man's wife. Should I say anything? Is there anything I can do or read? (38:20) Kelly - Can I be a godmother for a baby whom the parents don't plan to baptize? How can I convince my brother and his wife to baptize their baby? (43:01)

The Archdiocese of Boston responds to Saint Susanna's Parish in Dedham and their nativity scene that is displaying an "ICE was here" sign, condemning the display. The archdiocese says St. Susanna's "neither requested nor received permission from the archdiocese to depart from this canonical norm or to place a politically divisive display outside the church. The display should be removed, and the manger restored to its proper sacred purpose.” Dan discussed the latest. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it" (Matt. 16:25). This week we're joined by Fr. Carter Griffin, rector of the St. John Paul II Seminary in the Archdiocese of Washington, and Alvaro de Vicente, headmaster of The Heights School, to examine "discernment."

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Francis Xavier, one of the greatest missionaries in the history of the Church. Known for his zeal, courage, and love for Jesus, St. Francis Xavier traveled across the world to share the Gospel — baptizing thousands and giving everything for the salvation of souls.   His right arm, preserved in the Gesù in Rome, is a reminder of the countless people he brought to Christ. His life challenges us to step out of comfort, take up the mission, and boldly bring Jesus to others.   This feast is also a solemnity for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, honoring St. Francis Xavier as our patron.   Let's go out, evangelize, and change the world — just like he did. St. Francis Xavier, pray for us!   #Catholic #StFrancisXavier #FeastDay #Evangelize #MissionarySaint #December3
