6/11/25 - This is the astonishing true story of Blessed Bartolo Longo (1841–1926), a man who descended into darkness as a satanic priest during his years as a law student in Naples—but who was rescued by divine grace and became one of the Church's most fervent promoters of the Holy Rosary. Raised in a devout Catholic family, Bartolo fell away from the faith during his university studies, swept up in the anti-clerical, occult movements of his time. He was ordained a satanic priest and suffered severe depression, paranoia, and spiritual torment. But through the prayers of his family and the guidance of a Dominican priest, Fr. Alberto Radente, Bartolo experienced a miraculous conversion. Devoting his life to penance and reparation, Bartolo dedicated himself to Mary under the title of Our Lady of the Rosary. He helped rebuild the faith of an entire region by bringing the Rosary to the poor in Pompeii, where he founded the now world-famous Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii. He also established schools, orphanages, and legal aid for the poor—all as acts of penance and service. Pope John Paul II beatified him in 1980, calling him the “Man of Mary” and a “true lay apostle of the Rosary.”

Father Richard John shares about his journey to the priesthood, the importance of hope and our call to serve and evangelize. Parish of the Week: St. Dominic Parish in Saginaw is our Parish of the Week. Their Parochial Administrator, Fr. Richard John, joins us today!Message from Fr. Richard John – Ordained in 2009, I have now journeyed 16 years as a priest, and I share this reflection as a thanksgiving to the Lord who called me. I come from the Archdiocese of Hyderabad, Telangana, in southern India, and currently serve as the Parochial Administrator at St. Dominic Parish since 2023.Three early influences shaped my vocation: my grandmother Margaret John, whose daily Rosary and devotion to St. Anthony inspired a prayer movement in our neighborhood; my father Aron John, a daily communicant who introduced me to the beauty of the Eucharist; and my first encounter with the story of Mother Teresa, whose radical commitment deeply moved me as a child. These seeds of faith were nurtured by my parish priest, and I joined the seminary in 1998 after 10th grade.Growing up in a joint family of modest means, financial struggles were common. I often joined sports camps at school just for the meals. Yet, through God's providence and support like CFCA sponsorship from Sr. Shirley Ruder, a Dominican nun from Michigan, I could continue my education.Despite health challenges during formation, I experienced healing that confirmed my call. Over the years, I've served in various ministries — from being assistant to the archbishop, to working at St. Anthony's Shrine, teaching, radio ministry, and youth outreach.My path to Saginaw in 2022 was guided by God's providence, facilitated by friends, Fr. Raj, Fr. Bill and Bishop Gruss. I remain grateful to the Lord, the bishop, fellow clergy, and parishioners whose support makes this mission meaningful. Thank you

For I Am With You: Living the Presence of Christ The Homily tells us of a recent celebration of the Ascension of Jesus Christ, . . . . . . where the Shrine hosted a group of children and were inspired by their understanding and expressions of faith . . . especially one boy who insightfully described a shrine as a holy place to encounter God and affirmed Christ's presence in the Eucharist and the Church. The Homily emphasizes that though Jesus ascended, He remains with us in both joy and suffering. Reflecting on the Gospel, the Church highlights Jesus' promise that mourning will turn into joy, not be replaced by it, likening this to the pain and joy of childbirth. Drawing from both scripture and personal encounters, including a boy expressing feelings of abandonment during hardship, the message calls Christians to live with the deep conviction that Jesus is truly with us . . . always. Faith is not merely spoken but lived, especially during trials, trusting that God is present and in control. Hear more on how we do this in this Meditation Media. Listen to: For I Am With You: Living the Presence of Christ ----------------------------------------------------------- Quote from the Homily That is the reason why you have to trust God more, and that is the proof that you love God. That even in the challenges in the struggles, there is that conviction that God is with me. God is in control. Many of us may talk about it, but to live. This is not easy. May God help us that we recognize his presence and that we let him lead for He's in control. ----------------------------------------------------------- Jesus the Consolator: Dutch Painter: Carl Bloch: 1875 ----------------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: John 16: 20-23 First Reading: Acts 18: 9-18

Emperor Meiji of Japan’s reign began in 1867, and it marks a time of significant change in the country’s history. After the emperor and his consort died in the early 20th century, the Meiji Jingu shrine was built to memorialize them.
