The mission work of St. Francis Xavier
Pope Francis said, “To the many young people who feel restless today and do not know what to do with that restlessness, I say: Look to Francis Xavier, look at the horizons of the world, look at the people who are in great need, look at the many people who are suffering, so many people who need Jesus. And have the courage to go.”
Let’s have a Confession Revival
Our friend, the Catechism of the Catholic Church says that “Anyone who desires to receive Christ in Eucharistic communion must be in the state of grace. Anyone aware of having sinned mortally must not receive communion without having received absolution in the Sacrament of Penance.” (CCC 1415).
Clinging to the hand of Our Blessed Mother
Here on Earth, mothers provide for the basic needs of our children as they grow. We hold out our hands for them as they test their ability to stand up and then walk forward. Sometimes they fall, but Mom is always there, offering her hand. Our Blessed Mother does the same for us interiorly as we step out with trust, shakily at first, into the lives Our Lord wills for us.
