Jesus calls us to be peacemakers, to bring His peace into our homes, our communities, and beyond.

God's providence unfolds in ways that may seem hidden, yet it is always present, always working for our good.

"Today, we honor our elderly priests, brothers, and sisters who have devoted decades to God’s mission," Bishop Henry Eikhlein said. "Their sacrifices inspire us to continue the work of the Church in the 21st century."

Jesus invites us to bring our brokenness to Him. He is the liberator who desires to heal not just our bodies but our very souls.

When we feel lost and abandoned, let us remember that God is right there beside us, offering comfort and assurance.

The joyful missionary disciple is one who embraces their mission with trust and detachment.

In our families and relationships, we, too, may experience brokenness and conflict, often stemming from our own failures and flaws.

Life can be unpredictable, but we can rest assured that God is guiding our choices and paths.

"To be a priest is to be the helper of the poor," Fr. Mercian declared. "It is not enough to offer the Mass only. We are to strive to be useful persons for the Church and society."

There is a beauty in our diversity, a strength in our unity.
