La Porta | Renungan Harian Katolik - Daily Meditation according to Catholic Church liturgy
Delivered by Keisha, Claudia, Reinaldy, and Kathleen from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Isaiah 35: 1-6a.10; Rs psalm 146: 7.8-9a.9bc-10; James 5: 7-10; Matthew 11: 2-11.GOD IS ALWAYS GOOD Our meditation onthis Third Sunday of Advent is entitled: God Is Always Good. On this thirdSunday of Advent usually as members of the Church we have a joyful celebration.Church tradition guides us to celebrate it as "Gaudete Sunday" or"Joyful Sunday" because its liturgical messages reveal the very nearcoming of the Lord. In the preparation towelcome His coming, today the three holy readings together convey the fact thatthe Lord really comes to do good to us. Since the first human's fall into sinand the beginning of the Divine promise for the salvation of mankind fromslavery of sin, the message of God's coming has always been a good news. For us his comingmeans he is always kind to us. If He is only in a distant and unreachableHeaven, God's goodness is doubtful. The third Sunday of Advent as a joyful day,because we feel, we remember, and we believe that God is always good to us. Hedoes not have the intention to keep His goodness to Himself, but is given andprovided for us. A housewife calledher husband who was on his way to work. It was a sudden news and must beresponded to immediately. Their four-year-old child crashed and fell on thestairs. The wife panicked and she urgently needed her husband. The husband whohas just arrived at work should return soon because of his child's severecondition. They immediately took the child to the hospital for an intensivemedical treatment. This man's action isan example of reaching out the problem and immediately solving it. In His actsof love, God always comes to us who have various kinds of problem andsuffering. He is the savior and giver of solutions for our lives. He overcomesour difficulties and sufferings. He cannot bear with our situation. The firstreading and the gospel of today clearly show such situation and God's decissiveand immediate action to humans. God is our helper and our savior. God's coming for usalso means to complete what we still lack. Perhaps we still lack enough hopeand longingness for God. Perhaps there is still emptiness within us. SaintJames encourages us that God will soon come to fulfill this lack. And when itwas confirmed that Jesus was indeed the promised Lord who had come, John theBaptist along with his disciples and all of us really experience a veryopportune moment to come to the fullness of life. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O God, may our joy on this third Sunday of Advent strengthen ourpreparation to celebrate the coming Christmas, the anniversary of the birth ofJesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Our Father who art in heaven ... In the nameof the Father ...

La Porta | Renungan Harian Katolik - Daily Meditation according to Catholic Church liturgy
Delivered by Grace Larope from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Genesis 3: 9-15.20; Rs psalm 98: 1.2-3a.3bc-4; Ephesians 1: 3-6.11-12; Luke 1: 26-38.HOLY FROM THEBEGINNING The title for ourmeditation on this solemnity of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception is: HolyFrom the Beginning. This celebration has been observed by the whole Churchsince 1845, when on this day Pope Pius IX promulgated the doctrine of Maryconceived without sins, or Mary the Immaculate Conception. This doctrineemphasizes the sanctity of Our Lady from the beginning of her life, while atthe same time strengthening devotion to Our Lady that had started from theAncient Church in Jerusalem. The development of this devotion includes thepolular spreading around the world the prayer "Hail Mary" which is soloved by all Christians. The phrase "Hail Mary, full of grace" whichis the greeting of the angel Gabriel in the Gospel of Luke today, is anacknowledgment of the sanctity of Mary coming from heaven. This means that thisdignity is not just an ordinary thing. This doctrineconfirms the truth of our faith saying that from the very beginning of theconception in the married couple Joachim and Anne, God had designed in suchmanner that the womb conceiving Mary's fetus would be protected by God's grace.Therefore, the life of the baby Mary was not interrupted and corrupted by thevirus of original sin and of course Mary was completely saved. Purity indeed existedin that infant who inhabited the womb of her mother, then her birth and so onuntil the moment she was a young lady who received the annunciation from theangel Gabriel. From there Mary began to live with the Eternal Word which becameMan and was named Jesus of Nazareth. She remained holy from the beginning tothe end of her life, then was taken up to heaven to be with the Holy Trinity. Mary is the onlyextraordinary human being. Only she from all created human beings is full ofGod's grace. The saints and the blessed ones, men and women are simply calledthe glorious inhabitants of heaven who take part in the fullness of God'sgrace. Mary instead has been in the fullness of grace since the moment of conception.This privilege and precious dignity of Our Lady has also impacts to us. Doesthis solemnity has meaning for every one of us? There are at least threemeanings that we can reflect upon and then live them out in every one's life. First, the ability tofight sin. The book of Genesis in the first reading tells us that the chief ofevil, Satan, was defeated and the one who did this is Jesus Christ. Even thoughwe are always tempted to fall into sins, Mary who had overcome sins will alwayshelp us, for example through the prayer: Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for ussinners! Second, following in the footsteps of the Virgin Mary, we need tomaintain our dignity as followers of Christ and have been called brothers andsisters of Jesus, that we have been called from the beginning by Jesus Christ,as proclaimed by our second reading today. Third, if we live in the spirit ofrejecting sins and avoiding evil deeds, we really are the sons and daughters ofOur Lady.Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O heavenly Father, may we always imitate the Virgin Mary in holiness and alife full of grace. Hail Mary, full of grace ... Mary Immaculate Conception,pray for us. In the name of the Father...

Delivered by Kezia, Cherilyn, Stella and Michaela from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Isaiah 11: 1-10; Rs psalm 72: 1-2.7-8.12-13.17; Romans 15: 4-9; Matthew 3: 1-12.DO NOT REFUSE TOREPENT The title for ourmeditation on this second Sunday of Advent is: Do Not Refuse To Repent. All ofour meditations during Advent are centered on the theme of welcoming the LordJesus, our Savior. In the recent past days we have pondered about the ways tomake our preparation. In this Sunday we are invited to another very importantway of preparation, the path of repentance. The scriptures present the personof John the Baptist to remind us of the importance of repentance in Advent. This importantinvitation and reminder is not only from Jesus Christ and John the Baptist.People near us also often remind, reprimand or inform you. The issue of whetherthe reminder or warning is strong enough to change you, it really depends onthe ability of every person. Every one's freedom to make a choice isfundamental. You choose to change or remain not change. But if we want tofollow the path of our faith that the Lord Jesus Christ wants, repenting willbe more important than the freedom of each individual to choose others thanchange. The young man wholikes to race over a motorcycle and toss the engine as hard as possible so thatit annoys many people, is warned by his parents and siblings to stop doing thataction. A man who is very addicted to smoking is warned by his wife andchildren about that dengerous addiction. A young couple are advised so thatthey have proper dating that they do not become the talk of the people aroundthem. A student is always monitored by parents so that he can finish his schoolwith good grades. And in this time of grace, the reminder to us would be this one:Don't refuse to repent. There are still many advices and warnings that we alwaysreceive from our neihbours. People who advise andremind us actually see us and our problems objectively. They see and understandthe positive and negative sides of those rebuked or admonished. Whereas when someoneonly believe in what he or she sees and understands in him or herself, itbecomes just a subjective view. In this manner, one is controlled by personalego, interest, and pleasure. The advice, reminder and warning that come to usare actually the choices that we have to choose and follow. They attract ourattention, and so we are drawn to choose the good from the bad, or the rightfrom the wrong. These three readingsof this Sunday together give us an important reminder or advice, namely torepent or renew ourselves from sinful life and wicked way of life. Having a newlife is the main condition for welcoming the kingdom of God that comes to us.Let's pray. In the name of the Father... Almighty Father, may this Sunday celebration encourage us to repent andbecome the persons in our Lord Jesus Christ. Hail Mary, full of grace ... Inthe name of the Father ...
Read Online“Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness.” Matthew 9:35This one line speaks volumes about Jesus' public ministry. He didn't just preach a few sermons or heal a few who were sick. He “went around to all the towns and villages…teaching…proclaiming the Gospel…” and cured “every disease and illness.”It's important to contemplate that Jesus' public ministry lasted approximately three years. Three years of constant preaching, healing, and relating to people. During this time, Jesus encountered many thousands of individuals, and news of His works spread throughout Israel and beyond. Yet, the rest of today's Gospel reveals that Jesus' public ministry, though perfect in every way, was just the beginning. It was the foundation upon which His ongoing ministry would be established through the formation of His Church. As the Gospel continues, we gain insight into Jesus' compassionate heart. When He looked at the crowds, “his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.” His three years of ministry were only the foundation, and His merciful Heart began to overflow with compassion. Though He is God, Jesus limited Himself to human interactions within time and space, making it impossible for Him to engage personally with every troubled and abandoned soul in His human form. That's why He told His disciples to “ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” After this, He summoned His Twelve Apostles, gave them authority to share in His ministry of preaching and healing, and sent them out to the “lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Later, as recorded in Luke 10:1–2, Jesus expanded His mission even further by sending out seventy (or seventy-two) disciples ahead of Him as He and the Twelve began their final journey to Jerusalem where He would suffer and die. After His resurrection, Jesus further commissioned His Apostles to “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19–20). This mission quickly spread to at least 120 disciples gathered in the upper room, and as the Holy Spirit continued to guide the early Church, thousands of new converts became evangelists, spreading the Word of God. Reflect today on Jesus' Sacred Heart, overflowing with compassion for all who feel “troubled and abandoned.” It is your mission to be Christ's Heart to them—to love them, to long for their burdens to be lifted, and to lead them to Christ, the Good Shepherd. Do not shy away from this mission, for the mission you are given is a continuation of and participation in the one eternal mission of Jesus Himself. Most holy and Good Shepherd, Your human Heart burns with the perfection of divine love and longs to touch every soul in need of Your mercy. Please transform my heart into Yours so that I may have Your zeal for the salvation of all whom I encounter and become a fitting instrument of Your divine presence in the world. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Adobe StockSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

These episodes follow from the wildly popular “Saturdays with the Saints” lecture series we host each year on Notre Dame's campus. For one hour on the morning of Notre Dame home football games, a scholar typically from Notre Dame delivers a public lecture on a saint. We've been hosting this series for 15 years now, and this year we focused on “Saints of the Sacred Heart.”I myself delivered the first lecture this year on St. Margaret Mary and the rebirth of the devotion to the Sacred Heart. The lecture that followed was delivered by friend and colleague, Tim O'Malley. His lecture was on St. Claude de Colombiere, which is especially fitting because St. Claude is the one who made St. Margaret Mary's visions of the Sacred Heart known to the world. But as Tim taught in his lecture, it matters very much that St. Claude was himself a Jesuit, as was our late Pope Francis who dedicated his last encyclical to the Sacred Heart. And so our conversation about this saint is also about the Spiritual Exercises, daily obedience to God's will, and the shock of Christ's personal and particular love for each of us.Follow-up Resources:“Providence and Obedience: Colombière, the Jesuits, and the Sacred Heart,” by Tim O'Malley via Church Life Journal“St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and the Devotion to the Sacred Heart,” podcast episode via Church Life TodayLearn more about the “Saturdays with the Saints” series: https://mcgrath.nd.edu/events/saturdays-with-the-saints/“Dilexit Nos – Part 1, a conversation with Joshua McManaway and Melissa Moschella” (about Pope Francis's encyclical on the Sacred Heart of Jesus), podcast episode via Church Life Today“Dilexit Nos – Part 2, a conversation with Brett Robinson and Abigail Favale” (about Pope Francis's encyclical on the Sacred Heart of Jesus), podcast episode via Church Life TodayChurch Life Today is a partnership between the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame and OSV Podcasts from Our Sunday Visitor.

Not all 2-0 weeks are created equal and we elaborate on that this week as Penn State struggled against a pesky Boston team before running up the score against Sacred Heart over the weekend. Only one game to preview this week so we take some time after the recap to talk about the first NET rankings of the year and what they mean (if anything) for PSU in the early goings of the season.

In Part 3 of Divine Mysteries, Greg lets five explosive Scripture passages—John 1, Colossians 1, Philippians 2, Hebrews 1, and Revelation—paint the full portrait of the eternal Son, from Creator-Logos to Returning Conqueror. Then he explores how the Christian East's majestic Pantocrator and the West's tender Sacred Heart are two complementary lenses on the same Chalcedonian Christ. Perfect for Western Catholics who need awe and Ortho-curious guys who love the Divine Liturgy: Rome never lost the East's fire. Discover why a Pantocrator icon might be exactly what your prayer corner is missing. SUPPORT THIS SHOW Considering Catholicism is 100% listener-supported.

I have been providing a weekly ranking of my Top 25 NCAA Division I FCS small college football teams every week since early October. Below are the SwampSwamiSports.com rankings (expanded to show some additional teams this week) through the week ending November 15, 2025: This is my first season covering the FCS group. I am using the same guidelines which have served me well in determining a weekly Top 25 ranking list for the major college FBS football teams over the past seven years. There are only a few major media services which provide significant weekly coverage of the FCS smaller college football teams. My weekly rankings (click here for my FCS methodology) give you the chance to compare my top teams vs. the long-time American Football Coaches Association FCS Poll. The website for the Coaches Poll indicated that 26 FCS Board of Coaches determine their weekly Top 25 rankings for the smaller division teams. This week, we agree on 17 teams in our Top 25 rankings Below are the eight teams in my latest poll which were left out of the Coaches’ Top 25: #8 – 9-2 Presbyterian College (Pioneer Football League) #14 – 8-2 Alabama State (SWAC)* #16 – 7-2 Dartmouth (Ivy League) #18 – 8-3 Sacred Heart (Independent) #21 – 8-3 UT-Rio Grande Valley (Southland) #23 – 8-3 Delaware State (MEAC)* #24 – 8-3 South Carolina State (MEAC)* #25 – 8-3 Prairie View A&M (SWAC)* Here are the eight teams in the Coaches’ Top 25 which differ from my rankings: #14 – 7-4 UC-Davis (Big Sky) #16 – 7-4 North Dakota (Missouri Valley) #17 – 7-4 Youngstown State (Missouri Valley) #18 – 7-4 Abilene Christian (United Athletic Conference) #21 – 8-4 South Dakota Coyotes (Missouri Valley) #23 – 8-3 West Georgia Wolves (United Athletic Conference) #24 – 8-3 Lafayette Leopards (Coastal Athletics Association) *Denotes teams/conferences which will not compete in the FCS playoffs. Instead, the MEAC and SWAC winners will play each other in the Celebration Bowl in Atlanta. Who should be included in the 24-team FCS Playoff field? There is (of course) a national committee which will determine the 24 teams to be included in this year’s FCS playoffs. The 2025 FCS Playoff Committee is comprised of one athletic director from each of the 11 FCS conferences which are participating in the playoff field. This will be the first year for the Ivy League to send one or more representatives into the field. As previously noted, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) send their conference champions to compete in the Celebration Bowl for the HBCU title on December 13. The MEAC and SWAC do not have a voting representative determining the 24 teams heading into the FCS playoffs beginning on November 29. Each of this year’s 11 participating conferences will send their league champion team to the FCS playoffs. The other 13 teams are considered “At-large” and will be determined by the selection committee on Sunday, November 23. First, let’s predict the 11 Conference Champions. “Come on down!” All rankings shown are from the SwampSwamiSports.com FCS Top 25 published on Monday, November 17, 2025: Missouri Valley – #2 North Dakota State Bison (11-0) – clinched last week Southern (So-Con) – #7 Mercer Bears (10-1) – clinched last week Southland – #11 Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks (9-2) – clinched last week Here are my predictions for the other eight conference champions receiving automatic bids: Big Sky Conference – #3 Montana Grizzlies (11-0) Coastal Athletic Association – #10 Rhode Island Rams (9-2) Ivy League – #4 Harvard (9-0) Northeast Conference– #36 Central Connecticut State Blue Devils (7-4) Ohio Valley/Big South Alliance – #6 Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles (10-1) Patriot League – #1 Lehigh Mountain Hawks (11-0) Pioneer Football League – #28 Drake Bulldogs (7-3) United Athletic Conference – #31 Abilene Christian (7-4) Who should receive the other 13 “at-large” bids? My personal belief is that the remaining 13 teams should be determined based on their performance on the field this season. Wins and losses matter. For example, a 9-2 team from Conference A has clearly sustained more on-field success than a 7-4 squad from Conference B. Determining the relative strength of schedule between teams at this level is even harder than evaluating the major college FBS teams. Most fans are able to see the top major college teams on television several times during the football season. Let’s stick with my ranking system to select the following 13 teams to receive an At-Large invitation into Sunday’s FCS selection show (11AM CST on ESPNU): Tarleton State Texans (UAC – #5 ranking) – The 10-1 Texans won their first nine games of the year before losing 27-24 at Abilene Christian. The Texans opened the season with an impressive 30-27 road win against 5-4 FBS member Army. Presbyterian Blue Hose (Pioneer and #8 ranking) – Presbyterian (9-2) plays in what is considered to be a relatively weak football conference. However, the Blue Hose went to Macon, Georgia and gave the 10-1 Mercer Bears (champions of the So-Con) their only loss in 2025. That’s good enough to justify a spot in my playoff field! Monmouth Hawks (CAA and #9 ranking) – The 9-2 Hawks lost one of their two games on the road at FBS member UNC-Charlotte 26-20. When compared against fellow CAA member 8-2 Villanova, Monmouth wins my tiebreaker by virtue of their 51-33 drubbing of Villanova on September 20. Montana State Bobcats (Big Sky and #12 ranking) – Montana State is 9-2 heading into this weekend’s game with unbeaten Montana (11-0). The Bobcats blew-out 7-3 UC-Davis 38-17 two weeks ago and receive my vote. Villanova Wildcats (CAA and #15 ranking) – Villanova (8-2) is red hot right now. The Wildcats have won seven straight games heading into this weekend’s season finale against a very tough 8-3 Sacred Heart team. Villanova’s only losses are to FBS member Penn State and at 9-2 Monmouth earlier this season. Dartmouth Big Green (Ivy League and #16 ranking) – Dartmouth is 7-2 with its only losses coming at 9-0 Harvard and 5-4 Penn. If the FCS committee needs to be reminded, Dartmouth beat 7-2 Yale 17-16 earlier this season. I expect Yale to lose at Harvard on Saturday. If I’m wrong (it happens), then Yale should make the field, too. Sacred Heart Pioneers (Independent and #18 ranking) – The 8-3 Pioneers have played a fairly tough schedule. Their three losses have come at 11-0 Lehigh (28-10), at 7-4 Central Connecticut State (42-35) and at 11-0 Montana (43-21). Saturday’s season finale is at 8-2 Villanova. Another loss could knock Sacred Heart out of the playoffs, but their losses have come against likely FCS Playoff teams. Lamar Cardinals (Southland and #19 ranking) – Lamar (8-3) ran off seven straight wins earlier this season. The Cardinals from Beaumont lost on Saturday at Southland Conference champion Stephen F. Austin 26-15 but hold my tiebreaker with wins over 8-3 Southeastern Louisiana and 8-3 UT- Rio Grande Valley. Southeastern Louisiana Lions (Southland and #20 ranking) – The 8-3 Lions lost two of their games on the road at FBS members Louisiana Tech and LSU. The other loss came in a 14-12 thriller at 8-3 Lamar. Southeastern has one of the top defenses in the FCS this year and has allowed less than 12 points per game to non-FBS opponents. They are definitely in my 2025 playoff field! UT – Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros (Southland and #21 ranking) – In case you are counting, this would be the fourth Southland Conference team in the FCS playoffs. This is UTRGV’s first full season in the FCS, so I fully expect the playoff committee to shun them. Not me. The Vaqueros’ only three losses came on the road against playoff-bound Stephen F. Austin, Lamar, and Southeastern Louisiana. Illinois State Redbirds (Missouri Valley and #22 ranking) – Illinois State (8-3) lost its opener at FBS #8 ranked Oklahoma. The Redbirds’ other two losses came – at home – to 11-0 North Dakota State (33-16) and 7-4 Youngstown State (40-35). Illinois State is on a four game winning streak heading into Saturday’s home finale against 6-5 rival Southern Illinois. They must beat the Salukis to get into the playoffs. Lafayette Leopards (Patriot and #26 ranking) – The 8-3 Leopards are playing at home Saturday in “The Rivalry” game against the 11-0 Lehigh Mountain Hawks. If Lafayette wins, they’re in the playoffs as Patriot League champs and Lehigh will still receive an at-large bid. Should Lafayette lose on Saturday, they are at risk of being left out of the playoff field. The Leopards’ “best win” came over 6-5 Richmond 35-28. Another four-loss team with a better resume is likely receive this spot. West Georgia Wolves (UAC and #27 ranking) – West Georgia (8-3) has been omitted from my FCS Top 25 most of this season for good reason. The Wolves have swept teams with lousy records but lost all three games to tougher competition. West Georgia (located in Carrollton or about 45 miles west of Atlanta) lost games at 7-4 Austin Peay, at home to 7-4 Abilene Christian, and at 10-1 Tarleton State. The Wolves’ weak non-conference schedule may be a hard sell to the FCS playoff committee. Let’s include two “stand-by” teams with the best chance to shout “Pick me!” to the FCS playoff committee: UC Davis Aggies (Big Sky and #29 ranking) – UC-Davis (7-3) had its season opener at So-Con champion Mercer canceled due to possible tropical storm conditions in Georgia. The Aggies have one less victory than other competitors affected my rankings (eight wins beats seven in the SwampSwamiSports.com rankings). Having only three losses, though, helped to elevate UC-Davis over the 18 FCS teams which have four defeats through last weekend’s games. The UC Davis Aggies must beat conference rival Sacramento State (7-4) on Saturday to have a chance at securing a playoff spot. South Dakota Coyotes (Missouri Valley and #30 ranking) – The 8-4 Coyotes concluded their season last week on November 15. South Dakota lost a “money game” at FBS opponent Iowa State to start the season. They dropped to 0-2 after losing another road game at 8-3 Lamar (20-13). The Coyotes can point to a win over likely Pioneer Conference champ 7-3 Drake (42-21) and a pair of 7-4 MVC foes in South Dakota State and North Dakota. Best of luck to all of the FCS teams this weekend! Happy Thanksgiving! The post Predicting all 24 FCS Playoff Teams! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.
Tuesday of the 33rd Week in Ordinary Time Optional Memorial of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, 1769-1852; born in Grenoble, France, to a family of the "new rich"; at 19, she entered the convent of the Visitation of Mary; when the French revolution broke out, the convent was closed, and she began taking care of the poor and sick, opened a school for homeless children, and risked her life helping priests in the underground; when the situation cooled, Rose entered the infant Society of the Sacred Heart; but her ambition was to go to America to work with the Indians; she spent 11 weeks at sea en route to New Orleans, and seven weeks more on the Mississippi to St. Louis; the bishop had no place for Rose and her nuns to work with native Americans; he sent her to St. Charles, Missouri; when Rose was 72, a mission was founded at Sugar Creek, Kansas, among the Potawatomi and she was taken along; she was unable to learn their language, but they nicknamed her "Woman-Who-Prays-Always"; she died in 1852, at the age of 83 Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 11/18/25 Gospel: Luke 19:1-10

On July 13, 1917, Our Lady appeared for the second time to the three children of Fatima. She promised to work a miracle on October 13, so that everyone would believe. Then, she asked the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to pray the following prayer when doing so: “O Jesus, it is for love of you, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”These three young children were already familiar with the conception of praying and making sacrifices in order to make up for sin.God had sent an angel to them the year before, to prepare them for the apparitions of Our Lady. This guardian angel of Portugal taught the children about their mission: it was for them to do prayer and penance for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for sin, to stop sin from being committed in the future and to repair for sin already committed in the past.Later, Our Lady came to ask for the practice of the five first Saturdays devotion. This is a devotion of reparation for the offenses committed against Our Lady's Immaculate Heart. There are five first Saturdays because there are five types of blasphemies that are committed against Our Lady.The fourth type is the “blasphemies of those who seek openly to foster in the hearts of children indifference or contempt for this Immaculate Mother.”These facts about the message of Fatima show us that Heaven takes very seriously the offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our Lady would not come down on earth, speak to the three children, and work incredible miracles for no reason.Another thing that we learn is that the work of reparation is very important. Every sin is a crime against God, an injustice. Every sin deserves a punishment to make up for the injustice.There are many sins being committed around the world all the time. God looks for souls who are willing to pay for the sins of mankind. Our Lord and Our Lady, of course, paid a great price for the sins of the world, enough to wipe them all away.However, God did not want to leave us with nothing to do in the supernatural order. Rather, God asks that we unite with the work of Our Lord and Our Lady to do something to pay for sin ourselves. He asks for the work of “reparation”, making up for sin by prayer and sacrifice.This is what the Sacred Heart asked of St. Margaret Mary and us. This is what the Immaculate Heart asked of the three children of Fatima and us.Doing this work is part of living a Catholic life.The most important sins for us to make reparation for are sins of blasphemy. St. Thomas says that blasphemy is “the disparagement of some surpassing goodness, especially that of God”.What Fr. Pagliarani and Fr. Fullerton are asking us to do is to make reparation for a sort of blasphemy against the Mother of God in the form of the document Mater Populi Fidelis of the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith.This document disparages a surpassing goodness, namely, the roles of Our Lady as Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces.

Votive Mass of the Sacred Heart
Today is the First Friday of November, a month when we remember and offer special prayers for our deceased family and friends and for all those who have died. How might we unite this tradition with that of the Sacred Heart? Fr. Kubicki reveals how to do so on today's reflection.
As I am sure you know, several months have special dedications. For example, last month was dedicated to the most Holy Rosary, while May is dedicated to Mary and June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart. What is November dedicated to? Fr. Kubicki knows and so will you if you listen here.
Read Online“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times I yearned to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were unwilling!” Luke 13:34It's helpful to ponder the Sacred Heart of Jesus. His heart is one that is strong and gentle, compassionate and just, merciful and truthful. In this Gospel passage, we are given a glimpse of Jesus' love for the people of Jerusalem. He was not expressing His love for the city, but for the people in the city. It is clear that His deepest desire, His strong yearning, was that they allow Him to draw them close to Him so that He can protect them from all evil.Jesus begins by speaking the word “Jerusalem” twice. This expresses deep compassion for the people of that city. It also expresses a lament that they have not turned to Him, remaining unwilling to change. Their refusal began long before Jesus walked the earth when their forefathers rejected the call of the prophets to repent and turn back to God. The stubbornness of their fathers continued with the people of Jesus' day, and He experienced their rejection. This rejection did not lead Jesus to anger or condemnation as much as it led Him to holy sorrow.The image of a hen gathering her brood under her wings is a lovely image to meditate upon. A mother hen protects her chicks with great courage and without concern for her own safety. When danger approaches, she extends her wings and covers the vulnerable chicks to protect them. Jesus uses this motherly image to express His desire to protect not only the people of Jerusalem, but all of us.If Jesus yearned to gather the people together under his “wings” to protect them, then we should know, with certainty, that we need our Lord's protection. He would not desire something that was unnecessary. He is not an overly protective God Who irrationally worries about His children. His concern is real and necessary, and we must know that we need His protection.As you go about your daily life, do you feel as though you can handle life on your own? Do you act as an independent child who wants to separate yourself from the safety of your parents? Though we must all work to become responsible in life, we will never arrive at a point where we no longer need the protection of our loving God. The world in which we live is filled with dangers from which only God can protect us.At the beginning of today's Gospel, Jesus referred to Herod as a “fox.” That image must be seen in the context of Jesus desiring to act as a mother hen, protecting her brood. Jesus was told that Herod was trying to kill Him, but He clearly was not afraid of Herod. Of Herod's desire to kill Jesus, Jesus said, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and I perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I accomplish my purpose.'” As a protector, Jesus took authority over demons, performed healings and opened the gates of Heaven by rising from the dead on the third day. As we go through life, there will be many demons who seek to attack us. We will need many forms of healing, and without the gift of Jesus' triumph over death itself, we will not be led to the glories of Heaven. Demons are real. Wounds are real. And the need for a Savior is real. Reflect, today, upon the image of Jesus acting as a mother hen, extending His wings over you to protect you from the many temptations and diabolical attacks you will encounter in this world. Ponder the fact that you need His daily protection. The demons will never stop their attacks. Mental, emotional and spiritual wounds need His healing. Jesus is the only one Who can protect you and heal you so that He can then pour forth the gift of eternal life. Remain under His protective care, and allow Him to fulfill the yearnings of His Sacred Heart. My compassionate Lord, You yearn to protect me from the many evils in this world. You yearn to heal me of the wounds my sins have caused. And You yearn to bestow upon me the gift of eternal life. I accept Your protection, dear Lord, and pray for the healing I need. Please cover me always and bestow upon me the gift of eternal life. Jesus, I trust in You.
