Pastoral Reflections Finding God In Ourselves by Msgr. Don Fischer
Gospel John 19:25-34 Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I thirst.” There was a vessel filled with common wine. So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth. When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, “It is finished.” And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit. Now since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken and they be taken down. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately Blood and water flowed out. Reflection Many do not realize the power of the Eucharist. And we as Catholics believe that when you go to the Eucharist, any venial sins as you have on your soul are forgiven. And what I see in this passage is a beautiful image of the wine, which is the wine of forgiveness, the consecrated wine. What is so beautiful about this passage is Jesus is doing one last thing before he claims it is all finished, and that is to drink the wine of forgiveness. It's a beautiful image of not only Jesus forgiving. Those who disappointed him, weren't there for him, condemned him, crucified him, but also it's a part of his way of saying that world of unforgiveness, of judgment, of condemnation is finished. And the Eucharist, brings in the world of forgiveness, which is the beginning of the kingdom that we now live in. Closing Prayer Father, we've been taught that the Eucharist is a reenactment of the death and resurrection of Jesus. But we don't really take it as literally as we should, because what it's saying is that every time we take the Eucharist, we are not only infused with the power of the Holy Spirit, but given the gift of being able to forgive. It empowers our forgiveness, which is the heart of everything that seems to me that we are missing in the world. A spirit of openness and forgiveness, acceptance, support. Connection. Bless us with these gifts and we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Friends of the Rosary,Today, on the day after Pentecost, is the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, B. Mariæ Virginis, Ecclesiæ Matris.This feast was inserted into the General Roman Calendar in 2018 by decree of Pope Francis.The Decree on the celebration of the feast of Mary, Mother of the Church stated, “This celebration will help us to remember that growth in the Christian life must be anchored to the Mystery of the Cross, to the oblation of Christ in the Eucharistic Banquet and to the Mother of the Redeemer and Mother of the Redeemed, the Virgin who makes her offering to God.”Pope Francis wished to promote this devotion to “encourage the growth of the maternal sense of the Church in the pastors, religious and faithful, as well as a growth of genuine Marian piety.”St. Augustine said that Mary is the mother of the members of Christ, because with charity she cooperated in the rebirth of the faithful into the Church.St. Leo the Great said that the “birth of the Head is also the birth of the body, thus indicating that Mary is at once Mother of Christ, the Son of God, and mother of the members of his Mystical Body, which is the Church.”Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, 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 YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

The Bride of the Church
Fr. Dave Heney joins Patrick to discuss Mary Mother of the Church When did the Church Give Mary the title Mother of the Church? (9:44) what is Mary’s role as Mother of the Church? (16:40) Nora - When I was taking care of my mom in hospice. I grew up protestant and wasn't introduced to her until my teens. At that time, I really came to understand her power and her healing. We were praying the rosary when she passed. The feeling of the presence was so comforting. (20:24) Break 1 Carl - Rosary on the 7 sorrows of Mary. Wanted to get some clarification on the Rosary. The origin of the 7 sorrows Rosary and how it came to be and tied with the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit. (26:13) Maritza - 2016, My mom passed away. 2017 my dad passed away. I buried my mom on Dec 8, 2016, and Dad on Dec 8, 2017. I started receiving Rosaries from all over the world. I didn't understand what it meant. Finally, I understood, Mary wanted me to start praying the Rosary. She walked me to Jesus. I'm now more active in church. (39:19) What is the importance of the first time Mary speaks? Heidi - She helped us get our house. Helped me get my CPA. There's been so many things Mary has helped me with and she's been wonderful to us. (39:19) Break 2 Mike - Went to the altar at my mom's funeral during the singing of Ave Maria. Bouquet of flowers and offered prayers during the singing of that song. We were offering prayers of thanksgiving. (45:16) Catherine - Mary has come into my life in so many ways: I met my husband at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church. I had a bad situation and ended up getting a job at Our Lady of Assumption School. Daughter was born on Feast of Immaculate Conception. House hit by tornado...brought statue into house before that and we were right by the statue in the basement. Abby - Cradle catholic, Catholic Schools, etc, but very mechanical faith and not really feeling it. Not going to confession for 17 years. After my son's confirmation, I was moved to go to confession and the flood gates opened in my heart. She called me back the week my parish asked me to become more involved.
Today's Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, is celebrated annually on the Monday after Pentecost. It was officially added to the Church's calendar by Pope Francis in 2018. As outlined in an address by Pope John Paul II, the Blessed Mother's role as Mother of the Church can be traced back to four significant events. The first is the Annunciation, where Mary was called to give her consent to the coming of the Messianic Kingdom, which would take place with the formation of the Church. The second event which helps clarify the Blessed Mother's role in the formation of the Church happens at the wedding feast of Cana. Mary asks her Son to exercise his Messianic power in changing water into wine, implanting faith in the lives of the first century disciples. The third event takes place at Calvary. The Crucified Christ proclaims Mary's motherhood of all the faithful when he proclaims: “Woman, behold your Son.” This was not just addressed to John the Evangelist, Pope John Paul II explained, but to all the faithful, including ourselves 1992 years later. The fourth instance of Mary's motherhood of the Church is recognized by St. Luke in Acts 1:14 in today's alternative reading, in which Luke describes the early Christians gathering together in prayer. Specifically, it states that all the apostles, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers were present and united in prayer. This verse follows our Lord's Ascension into heaven as they were waiting for the arrival of the promised Holy Spirit. The verse highlights the unity of the early Church and the Blessed Mother's prayerful presence imploring the gift of the Holy Spirit for all, the same Holy Spirit that had overshadowed her during the Annunciation. The Church is like a mother, generating life by giving birth, but also helping her children to grow through the sacraments and accompanying us through our entire lives. For St. Jerome, “The Church is nothing other than the souls of those who believe in Christ,” carefully watched over by the Mother of the Church, our Most Blessed Virgin Mary. Blessings,Fr. Kevin MacDonald, C.Ss.R.

Let Mary come and live with you!
What does it mean to call Mary the Mother of the Church? Is the title biblical or purely traditional? In this episode, we explore the theological claims made in the Catholic Church's celebration of the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church. We examine the scriptural basis, early Church writings, and the typological parallels with Eve and the Ark of the Covenant — and challenge Protestants who reject Marian theology while using the same interpretive methods for their own doctrines.
The Community of St Gregory the Great sing the Gregorian Chant Mass for the Memoria of Mary, Mother of the Church. Recorded live at Southgate House on 9 June 2025.
As Virgin and Mother, Mary remains for the Church a "permanent model." It can therefore be said that especially under this aspect, namely as a model, or rather as a "figure," Mary, present in the mystery of Christ, remains constantly present also in the mystery of the Church. For the Church too is "called mother and virgin," and these names have a profound biblical and theological justification. Deacon Harold shares more and also looks into Soulful Psalm 22.

MARY , MOTHER OF THE CHURCH.
Read OnlineStanding by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. John 19:25–27The memorial we celebrate today, which was added to the Roman Liturgical Calendar in 2018 by Pope Francis, highlights the truth that the Blessed Virgin Mary is not only the Mother of the Person of Christ, and, therefore, the Mother of God, she is also the Mother of the Church, that is, the Mother of all the faithful. The Blessed Virgin Mary is your mother. And as your mother, she is truly tender, compassionate, caring and merciful, bestowing upon you everything that a perfect mother desires to bestow. She is the fiercest of mothers who will stop at nothing to protect her children. She is a mother wholly devoted to you, her dear child.The Gospel passage chosen for this memorial depicts our Blessed Mother standing at the foot of the Cross. She would have been no other place than directly beneath her Son as He endured His last agony. She did not flee in fear. She was not overwhelmed by grief. She did not sulk in self-pity. No, she stood by her Son with the perfect love and strength of a devoted, caring, compassionate and faithful mother.As she stood by her Son in His hour of suffering and death, Jesus turned to her and entrusted the Apostle John to her maternal care. From the early Church Fathers until the most recent teachings of the Church today, this act of entrusting John to Mary and Mary to John by Jesus has been understood as an entrustment of all the faithful to the maternal care of Mother Mary. Mother Mary is, therefore, not only the Mother of the Redeemer, Christ Himself, she also becomes the Mother of all the redeemed, the mother of us all, the Mother of the Church.Consider the spiritual mother you have in Heaven. A mother is one who gives life. Your mother in Heaven is entrusted with the task of bestowing upon you the new life of grace won by the Cross. And as your mother, she will not withhold anything from you that is to your benefit. A mother is also one who is tender with her children. The Immaculate Heart of our mother in Heaven is one that is filled with the greatest tenderness toward you. Though her caresses are not physical, they are much deeper. She caresses with the tenderness of grace which she imparts to you as you pray and turn to her in your need. She gives you the grace of her Son, poured out upon the Cross as the blood and water sprung forth as a font of mercy. Mother Mary pours that mercy upon you as a tender and devoted mother would. She holds nothing back.If you are unaware of the love in the heart of our Blessed Mother for you, use this memorial as an opportunity to deepen your understanding of her role in your life. Many children take their mothers for granted, not fully understanding the depth of their love. So it is with our Mother in Heaven. We will never fully comprehend her love and her constant motherly workings in our life until we join her in Heaven face to face. Reflect, today, upon Mother Mary standing by you in every moment of your life. See her there in your joys and in your sorrows, during your moments of temptation and struggles, in your moments of confusion and clarity. See her there by your side, bestowing every good spiritual gift upon you when you need it the most. She is a true mother, and she is worthy of your love and gratitude.My dearest Mother, you stood by your Son with unwavering fidelity and love. You cared for Him, nurtured Him and never left His side. I also am your dear child. I thank you for your loving fidelity toward me and open my heart to the grace of your Son that you bestow upon me throughout life. Help me to be more attentive to your motherly care and to daily grow in gratitude for your presence in my life. Mother Mary, pray for us. Jesus, I trust in You.Images: Featured: The Crucifixion via Web Gallery of ArtMain: Lucas Cranach the Elder, PDM-owner, via Wikimedia Commons Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life!

La Porta | Renungan Harian Katolik - Daily Meditation according to Catholic Church liturgy
Delivered by Meisye Laurencia from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Genesis 3: 9-15.20; Rs psalm 87: 1-2.3.5.6-7; John 19: 25-34A MOTHER'S GIFT The title for our meditation today is:A Mother's Gift. In principle we believe in one God, but in the realization ofHis will and the revealation of Himself, He presents a type of life intogetherness with other parties. One expression of this essential divine will isthe life in pairs between a man and a woman. In the divine power that expresseslife in pairs, we then recognize the existence of a mother or mom as a gift forour lives. A mother stands and exists on two solid foundations, namely as awoman and a person who binds herself in marriage. Human nature as a woman andwho marries her chosen man is the natural aspect that underlies a noble anddignified profile as a mother. God created that natural dimension,and He judged it as a good creation, because it follows His own image andlikeness, as the book of Genesis says. But love doesn't stop there. God revealshis glory more perfectly when that created woman becomes a mother, with thepurpose that the mother takes participation in witnessing the glory of God inthe world. Motherhood that displays the power and love of God is as meaningfulas it is expressed in fatherhood. In other words, a mother is fundamentally theface and action of God in the world for anyone who takes part in the life andwork of the mother. We are happy in this celebration ofOur Lady as the Mother of the Church, which is a celebration to honor andglorify the role of motherhood for the whole Church. In principle the Church iscalled the mother with the most obvious reason, because the Virgin Mary isentrusted by her own Son, Jesus Christ who is the head of the Church, as themother of the Church. Jesus stated that directly and personally when He wascrucified and about to die. He said to a disciple whom he loved: "This isyour mother!" The Church as a mother has the mostimportant responsibility to protect and direct each of her members to the pathof salvation. Mary certainly works with Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church,to make the Church and all its members live in strong faith, love and hope. Asa mother, Mary animates the entire Church along the way. Even though the threatof Satan and its companions never ceases to harm and destroy the Church, the Motherof the Church has the power to defend and fight for sake of the Church. Thisbattle never stops as long as the world is still in its journey towards itsend, as the first reading of today proclaims. Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O God Almighty, may the Virgin Mary always be with us in all ourdifficulties, especially in times of trouble and death threathened by deadlyenemies. Hail Mary full of grace ... In the name of the Father ...
Episode #98: In which we learn that Mary was quite the bad-ass, really
Earlier in the Catechism, we unpacked Mary as the Mother of Jesus. Now, we look at what it means for Mary to be the Mother of the Church. Fr. Mike makes it clear that, when he entrusts his disciples to Mary, his Mother, from the Cross, he's entrusting us to her as well. Today's readings are from Catechism paragraphs 963-970. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Let Me Be Frank | Bishop Frank Caggiano's Podcast | Diocese of Bridgeport, CT
All eyes have been on the Vatican for the past couple weeks, appropriately so as we are in the season of Easter. On Let Me Be Frank, Bishop Caggiano reflects on the life of Pope Francis and prays for his soul . He also prays for the College of Cardinals, as they have an historic task ahead of them. What is the task ahead? What is the schedule and program for the cardinals who have gathered in Rome for the conclave, which begins on May 7th? Bishop Frank lays it all out for us, so we know (as much as we can know) what to expect in the weeks to come. By the way, I recently read a beautiful tribute from Fr Raymond de Souza in The Catholic Thing about the liturgical rhythm of Pope Francis's death and his final days on earth. Fr de Souza pointed out that the past many popes have died “according to a liturgical rhythm”… Francis on Easter Monday, John XXIII on the day after Pentecost, John Paul II on Divine Mercy Sunday, Benedict XVI on the vigil of Mary Mother of God, and Paul VI on the Transfiguration.

The Crucified Christ may be an image of hopelessness but on the contrary, His death gave the hope the world has been waiting for. Today, Fr. Reginald Malicdem, the Mission Station Priest of Mary Mother of Hope Chapel, invites us to meditate on Christ's suffering and death on The Cross this Good Friday—the ultimate act of love and hope, His life for our redemption.

Welcome, Kelley. Kelley >> Hello. Hello. It's kind of fun being on this end of the screen, right? Sharifa >> I'm glad. Kelley >> Right. Yeah. I'm usually one of the interviewers. Sharifa >> But today I'm interviewing you because we are going to be talking about Mary, the mother of Jesus. Now we're talking about her perhaps in a different light than the audience might usually be used to her. We usually don't hear about Mary unless it's Christmas time. Right? Kelley >> Right. Right.

Day 5: Mary, Mother of Justice You shall conceive and bear a son and you shall call him Jesus. He will be great and shall rightly be called Son of the Most High. (Luke I:31-32) Let us pray: Almighty Father You gave us Mary, the mother of our Savior to be our model. She inspires us to constantly reach out to one another. We are called to anticipate the needs of those around us, perceive the cry of their heart, share their fears and their brokenness and give hope to the hopeless and forsaken. Teach us Lord how, when and where we must reach out to those in want and in pain. May our hearts be filled with Your love, ever yearning to serve You through others – without counting the cost. This we ask in Jesus name through the intercession of the Our Lady of the Annunciation.
