Today, we remember the anniversary of the Transverberation of Padre Pio’s heart—a profound moment in which his heart was pierced by God in the same way as His Son. This extraordinary grace deepened his union with Christ and strengthened his desire to share in the sufferings of Jesus for the salvation of souls. #saintpio #ncfpp #transverberation #staywithme
✝️ Wednesday – Memorial of the Dedication of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome “O woman, great is your faith!” The Canaanite woman refused to give up. Today’s Gospel is a reminder to never lose hope in God’s goodness. @Kristinscrosses youtu.be/lY4Y4yjMPm0
✝️ Tuesday – Memorial of Saint John Vianney Saint John Vianney knew that a life of prayer transforms us from the inside out and our Gospel is a reminder to let Christ shape our hearts, so that our words and actions reflect His presence. @Kristinscrosses youtu.be/4phqINYiQGM
✝️ Monday – The Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time 🎧 When Peter took his eyes off Jesus, he began to sink. Yet the moment he cried out, Jesus reached out His hand. We find our strength when we keep our eyes fixed on Christ. @Kristinscrosses youtu.be/3rlt-c2FY2Q
