"Again, our Lord, said, that whither he was going they could not follow him, when Peter exclaimed: ‘Lord, I am ready to go with thee both into prison and to death.’ And Jesus replied: ‘Amen, amen, I say to thee, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.’ Jesus, while making known to his Apostles that trying times were at hand for them, said: ‘When I sent you without purse, or scrip, or shoes, did you want anything?’ They answered: ‘Nothing.’ ‘But now,’ he continued, ‘he that hath a purse let him take it, and likewise a scrip, and he that hath not, let him sell his coat and buy a sword. For I say to you, that this that is written must yet be fulfilled in me: AND WITH THE WICKED WAS HE RECKONED. For the things concerning me have an end.’ "

Jesus again instructed his Apostles for a considerable length of time, and also prayed several times. He frequently appeared to be conversing with his Heavenly Father, and to be overflowing with enthusiasm and love. The Apostles also were full of joy and zeal, and asked him various questions which he forthwith answered. The scriptures must contain much of this last discourse and conversation. He told Peter and John different things to be made known later to the other Apostles …More
"More of them yawn and stretch and turn the pages of their prayer book as if they were examining it in order to see whether the printer had made any mistakes. There are others, and you can see them sleeping as soundly as if they were in a comfortable bed. The first thought that comes to them when they awake is not that they have been profaning so holy a place but: "Oh, Lord, this will never be over.... I'm not coming back any more." And finally there are those to whom the word of God (which has converted so many sinners) is actually nauseating."

Well, my dear children, let me describe them. I will compare them (if I may dare to make use of the term) to dogs who will run to the first person who calls them. You may follow them from the morning to the evening, from the beginning of the year to the end. These people look upon Sunday as merely a day for rest and amusement. They stay in bed longer than on weekdays, and instead of giving themselves to God with all their hearts, they do not even think of Him. Some of them will be thinking of their amusements, others of people they expect to …More
Jerome, give me your sins! September 30 – Memorial of Saint Jerome, Priest and Doctor of the Church Jerome was of a cantankerous, uncompromising, and argumentative temperament. In his debates with other scholars or when criticizing the hypocrisy of the Roman clergy, he often used words that were sharp, aggressive, and offensive. He never denied his difficult character, yet he spent his entire life engaged in a relentless spiritual and physical struggle to curb his anger. He himself described his wrath as a constant "enemy." To combat his outbursts and tame his temper, Jerome turned to four main remedies: 1 Intense and ceaseless study. 2 Harsh physical discipline: he would withdraw into solitude and literally beat his chest with a stone. 3 Constant prayer, tears, and fasting. In his letters, Jerome admitted to spending entire nights weeping, fasting, and crying out to God for mercy immediately after succumbing to a fit of anger. 4 Desert solitude. Whenever he realized that social life in …More

‘GEORGIA MARTYRS’: U.S. TO WITNESS ANOTHER BEATIFICATION CEREMONY | SG News Just weeks after the historic beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, the Catholic Church in the United States is preparing for another major beatification. The Venerable Servants of God Pedro de Corpa and his Four Companions — collectively known as the “Georgia Martyrs” — will be beatified on October 31, 2026, in Savannah, Georgia. Cardinal Frank Leo, Metropolitan Archbishop of Toronto, will represent Pope Leo XIV as Papal Legate and preside over the beatification liturgy at the Savannah Convention Center at 11 a.m. The story of the Georgia Martyrs reaches back more than four centuries. In 1595, Franciscan missionaries were assigned to missions along the coast of what is now Georgia, where they ministered among the indigenous Guale people, learned their language and shared the Catholic faith. In 1597, a conflict arose when Pedro de Corpa opposed the decision of Don Juanillo, a baptized Christian and heir …More
Pedro de Corpa was born circa 1560 in Corpa, near Alcalá. He joined the Franciscan Order around 1577 and was likely ordained around 1584. On July 21, 1587, Pedro and twelve other friars (including Antonio de Badajoz) set sail from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and later departed Havana on September 29, arriving at St. Augustine on October 5. Pedro was assigned to work at Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Tolomato. He was the first to be martyred on September 14, 1597. Blas Rodríguez was born in the 1550s in Cuacos de Yuste, Cáceres. In the early to mid-1570s, he joined the Franciscans and was ordained sometime in the 1580s. On May 17, 1590, he was approved to be sent to the New World and was assigned to Tupiqui.[5] Those who killed Pedro then went to kill Blas. Before being executed on September 16, 1597,[4] he was allowed to celebrate a final Mass and preach: My sons, for me it is not difficult to die. Even if you do not cause it, the death of this body is inevitable. We must be ready …More
Wounded Polish Priest Returns to Mass After Deadly Abbey Attack, Preaches Forgiveness | SG News Two days after a deadly knife attack at the Benedictine Abbey in Jarosław, Poland, the monastery reopened its doors to the faithful — and one of the priests wounded in the violence returned to the altar with a message of forgiveness. Father Adrian Mantykiewicz, still bearing visible bruises and bandages on his head and hand, celebrated Holy Mass on September 26 following the September 24 attack. Father Stanislaw Zbojniewicz died from injuries sustained in the assault, while Father Marek Pienkowski remained in serious condition in hospital. Four people were injured in total. Police arrested a 31-year-old Ukrainian man, identified by prosecutors as Ihor M., who was charged with murder, attempted murder and causing serious injury. The investigation remains ongoing. Yet Father Adrian’s homily was centered not on anger, but on the Gospel. He told the congregation that the evil committed at the …More
