Today's Topics: Father Raymond of the Blessed Sacrament joins Terry 1) Gospel - Luke 14:12-14 - On a sabbath Jesus went to dine at the home of one of the leading Pharisees. He said to the host who invited Him, "When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or sisters or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, in case they may invite you back and you have repayment. Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous." Memorial of Saint Martin de Porres, Religious Saint Martin, pray for us!

St. Martin de Porres, Religious (Optional Memorial)

Friends of the Rosary,From November 1st to the 8th, we celebrate the Octave of the Faithful Departed by praying for the Holy Souls in Purgatory and acknowledging that they, too, are praying for us.The majority of people who die are not saints: they might be God's friends as they are not against the Lord, but at the same time are not fully initiated into the divine life, as Bishop Barron explains. Therefore, after death, they will undergo a period of purification and preparation for eternal life.The effect of sin that endures in them will be burned away in God's time. This way, they will be prepared to receive the full embrace of the divine love.The doctrine of purgatory is deeply hopeful. The holy souls are very close to us, and we to them. They relate to us through prayer, and we to them, as well. We all glorify our Lord.Today, November 3, we celebrate the feast day of St. Martin de Porres.Ave Maria!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!

Today the Church honors the memory of St . Martin de Porres. He is the patron saint of interracial justice and was the son of a white Spanish knight and a free Black woman. God blessed his charitable service and worked miracles through him.

Monday of the 31st Week in Ordinary Time Optional Memorial of St. Martin de Porres, 1579-1639; son of a black or indiginous freed woman of Peru and a Spanish Grandee; his parents never married, and Martin bore the appearance of his mother; his father abandoned the family, and Martin grew up in poverty; he became a lay helper for the Dominicans, who eventually asked him to make full religious profession; many of his nights were spent in prayer and penitential practices; his days were filled with nursing the sick and caring for the poor; he was instrumental in founding an orphanage, took care of slaves brought from Africa, and managed the daily alms of the priory; many of his fellow religious took Martin as their spiritual director, but he continued to call himself a “poor slave”; he was a good friend of another Dominican saint of Peru, Rose of Lima Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 11/3/25 Gospel: Luke 14:12-14

O humble and charitable soul whose healing hands served the poor and all those the Lord placed in your care, with great love you looked upon Christ on the Cross and in the Blessed Sacrament, and so sought to love your neighbor even as Jesus Himself – pray we shall somehow learn to put others before ourselves, that in this way, in the way of the Lord, we will truly love and serve God, knowing our sins outweigh those of any other soul, and yet that the mercy of our Savior outweighs any human fault. And so, pray we shall be humble as you, as kind and as caring, that we too will lay down our lives in prayer and in penance, in the blood and tears of Jesus.

In this episode, Eric Porres, the newly appointed Global Head of AI at Logitech, walks us through his mission to transform a 7,000-person organization into a team of AI-fluent knowledge workers. He shares what his first 100 days looked like—from running a company-wide GenAI survey to personally training over 800 colleagues—and how those efforts laid the foundation for a scalable, human-centered AI strategy.Eric talks about building a culture of “augmented intelligence,” not just through tooling, but through habits, champions, and real behavioural change. He shares practical frameworks—like using AI to improve your prompts, embracing long-form instructions, and designing with role-context-task-output in mind—and explains why measuring success goes beyond usage stats to include depth of interaction and employee NPS.The conversation also looks ahead to the agentic future: personalized AI teammates, embedded workflows, and custom knowledge bases. Whether you're leading AI at a global company or just trying to help your team get started, this episode is full of real-world insights on how to move from AI hype to meaningful adoption.Key Takeaways:AI Fluency Starts with Behaviour, Not Just Tools – Eric's approach isn't about pushing more AI - t's about teaching people how to think differently. From measuring conversation depth to rewriting prompt habits, Logitech is focused on real behavioural change.Train 800, Influence 7,000 – Before becoming Head of AI, Eric trained 800+ colleagues himself. That grassroots effort - combined with identifying “quiet champions” across teams- created the internal momentum for company-wide transformation.Build the Right Interface, Not Just the Right Model – A powerful insight: it's not which model you use, it's how people interact with it. Logitech prioritized intuitive, user-friendly AI experiences to meet employees where they work.From Individual Fluency to Agentic Teams –  Looking ahead, Eric envisions a world where employees work alongside custom AI agents. The future isn't just prompt mastery - it's knowing what to delegate, what to own, and how to manage an AI-augmented team.LinkedIn: Eric Porres | LinkedInLogitech: logitech.com/Eric's website: PorresPsychedelic GPT: Trippin' The Chat FantasticThese screenshots showcase how Eric Porres organizes AI research using NotebookLM, as discussed in the episode.NotebookLM Dashboard: NotebookLM Dashboard - Eric PorresNotebookLM Research: NotebookLM Research - March 9-15, 2025 00:00 Intro to Eric Porres 00:46 What the First 100 Days Look Like as Head of AI01:51 Measuring AI Adoption: Surveys, Usage & Quality05:34 Training 800 Colleagues: How Eric Taught AI Mastery19:50 From Side Role to Head of AI: Eric's Transition Story23:02 Scaling AI Across Teams: Tools, Access & Equity28:56 Choosing the Right Model for the Right Job30:28 Measuring Success: NPS, Feedback, and Real Usage32:05 The Rise of AI Champions and Teaching as Proof of Mastery34:31 Beyond Fluency: Preparing for the Agentic Future36:45 Atomizing Workflows: Making AI Work for You39:10 AI in Sales & Customer Service: The Agent Use Case43:26 Personal Knowledge Bases and AI-Augmented Thinking50:49 Final Thoughts and Takeaways 

Full Text of ReadingsThird Sunday of Lent Lectionary: 28, 30The Saint of the day is Saint Turibius of MogrovejoSaint Turibius of Mogrovejo's Story Together with Rose of Lima, Turibius is the first known saint of the New World, serving the Lord in Peru, South America, for 26 years. Born in Spain and educated for the law, he became so brilliant a scholar that he was made professor of law at the University of Salamanca and eventually became chief judge of the Inquisition at Granada. He succeeded too well. But he was not sharp enough a lawyer to prevent a surprising sequence of events. When the archdiocese of Lima in Peru required a new leader, Turibius was chosen to fill the post: He was the one person with the strength of character and holiness of spirit to heal the scandals that had infected that area. He cited all the canons that forbade giving laymen ecclesiastical dignities, but he was overruled. Turibius was ordained priest and bishop and sent to Peru, where he found colonialism at its worst. The Spanish conquerors were guilty of every sort of oppression of the native population. Abuses among the clergy were flagrant, and he devoted his energies and suffering to this area first. He began the long and arduous visitation of an immense archdiocese, studying the language, staying two or three days in each place, often with neither bed nor food. Turibius confessed every morning to his chaplain, and celebrated Mass with intense fervor. Among those to whom he gave the Sacrament of Confirmation was the future Saint Rose of Lima, and possibly the future Saint Martin de Porres. After 1590, he had the help of another great missionary, Francis Solanus, now also a saint. Though very poor his people were sensitive, dreading to accept public charity from others. Turibius solved the problem by helping them anonymously. Reflection The Lord indeed writes straight with crooked lines. Against his will, and from the unlikely springboard of an Inquisition tribunal, this man became the Christlike shepherd of a poor and oppressed people. God gave him the gift of loving others as they needed it. Saint Christopher: Fact or Fiction? Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Full Text of ReadingsThirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 152The Saint of the day is Saint Martin de PorresSaint Martin de Porres' Story “Father unknown” is the cold legal phrase sometimes used on baptismal records. “Half-breed” or “war souvenir” is the cruel name inflicted by those of “pure” blood. Like many others, Martin might have grown to be a bitter man, but he did not. It was said that even as a child he gave his heart and his goods to the poor and despised. He was the son of a freed woman of Panama, probably black but also possibly of indigenous stock, and a Spanish grandee of Lima, Peru. His parents never married each other. Martin inherited the features and dark complexion of his mother. That irked his father, who finally acknowledged his son after eight years. After the birth of a sister, the father abandoned the family. Martin was reared in poverty, locked into a low level of Lima's society. When he was 12, his mother apprenticed him to a barber-surgeon. Martin learned how to cut hair and also how to draw blood—a standard medical treatment then—care for wounds, and prepare and administer medicines. After a few years in this medical apostolate, Martin applied to the Dominicans to be a “lay helper,” not feeling himself worthy to be a religious brother. After nine years, the example of his prayer and penance, charity and humility, led the community to request him to make full religious profession. Many of his nights were spent in prayer and penitential practices; his days were filled with nursing the sick and caring for the poor. It was particularly impressive that he treated all people regardless of their color, race, or status. He was instrumental in founding an orphanage, took care of slaves brought from Africa, and managed the daily alms of the priory with practicality, as well as generosity. He became the procurator for both priory and city, whether it was a matter of “blankets, shirts, candles, candy, miracles or prayers!” When his priory was in debt, he said, “I am only a poor mulatto. Sell me. I am the property of the order. Sell me.” Side by side with his daily work in the kitchen, laundry, and infirmary, Martin's life reflected God's extraordinary gifts: ecstasies that lifted him into the air, light filling the room where he prayed, bi-location, miraculous knowledge, instantaneous cures, and a remarkable rapport with animals. His charity extended to beasts of the field and even to the vermin of the kitchen. He would excuse the raids of mice and rats on the grounds that they were underfed; he kept stray cats and dogs at his sister's house. Martin became a formidable fundraiser, obtaining thousands of dollars for dowries for poor girls so that they could marry or enter a convent. Many of his fellow religious took Martin as their spiritual director, but he continued to call himself a “poor slave.” He was a good friend of another Dominican saint of Peru, Rose of Lima. Reflection Racism is a sin almost nobody confesses. Like pollution, it is a “sin of the world” that is everybody's responsibility but apparently nobody's fault. One could hardly imagine a more fitting patron of Christian forgiveness–on the part of those discriminated against—and Christian justice–on the part of reformed racists—than Martin de Porres.
