Most of Jesus’ life was hidden.

We remember Bethlehem and Calvary…
but He chose to spend most of His days in Nazareth –
work, family, obedience, silence.
That’s where holiness was lived hour by hour.

“And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth: and was subject to them.”
Luke 2:51 (Douay-Rheims)

Holy Family of Nazareth,
teach my heart to be faithful in the small, unseen things.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph,
Pray for Us. 🌟

In the Catholic Church.. 🎄some feasts are so important that we don’t celebrate them for just one day. We keep them for eight days!

This is called an octave 8️⃣

So from December 25 to January 1, the Church treats it as one big liturgical “Christmas Day,” known as the Octave of the Nativity! Every day in this stretch is still Christmas in the eyes of the liturgy!

Obligation wise:
• Dec 25 and Jan 1 are holy days of obligation.
• The other days of the octave are not required, but they are strongly encouraged. They are a chance to stay close to the crib and keep praying with the mystery of “the Word made flesh.”

Heaven is still singing “Glory to God in the highest.”

Verbum caro factum est. ✨ The Word became flesh.

The three distinct Christmas Masses of the Catholic Church 🕊️✨

In the Roman Rite there are three proper Masses for the Nativity of Our Lord:

🌙 Midnight highlights the world in darkness before Christ.
🌅 Dawn is the first glimmer of light, when the Good News reaches simple souls (the shepherds… and our own conversion).
☀️ Day shows the full light of grace and truth when we recognize the Word made flesh.

Fr. McDonell’s homily wrecked me in the best way. The word infant comes from the Latin infans. Infans comes from fari, “to speak.” In + fari means “unable to speak.”

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh, and yet when He came, He could not even utter a word. And even that is still not enough to grasp how much God loves us.

The Eucharist is not a symbol. It’s Christ Himself. 🕊️✨
That’s what we celebrate today. #CorpusChristi

We had a Eucharistic procession through the 90° heat around Oakland University, and it was so fulfilling. St. John Fisher Parish even had burgers, hot dogs, and ice cream waiting for us afterward 😋

⸻

The Solemnity of Corpus Christi is traditionally celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday (60 days after Easter), but in many places, we also celebrate it on the following Sunday to allow greater participation.

“The bread that we break is not just bread — it is truly Jesus.”

Unlike Holy Thursday which also celebrates the priesthood and the washing of feet, Corpus Christi focuses entirely on the Eucharist.

This feast was inspired by St. Juliana of Liège in the 13th century, who had visions urging a special day to honor the Eucharist. It was affirmed by the Eucharistic Miracle of Bolsena-Orvieto in 1263, where a consecrated Host bled during Mass and soon after, Pope Urban IV instituted the feast in 1264. He asked St. Thomas Aquinas to compose its hymns and prayers.

Jesus meant it literally:
“This is My Body… This is My Blood.”
(Matt 26:26–28 · Luke 22:19–20 · John 6)

Every Catholic should know this, and share this gift!!

“If God is asking more from you, then you can ask more from Him.”

On this Feast of St. Barnabas, Apostle and “son of encouragement,” we’re reminded that the mission to evangelize, uplift, and suffer for Christ always begins at His feet.

Barnabas gave everything! Not from self-reliance, but from grace. If God is calling you to more, go to Him for more. You’ll never be left empty 🕊️✨

St. Barnabas, pray for us. 🙏🏽

Also, this Chaldean Catholic Church is beautiful! 😍

Who else saw the Strawberry Moon last night?! 🍓🌕

I wasn’t aware of this but decided to go to perpetual adoration at St. George’s.. then I saw the moon ✨

Man, beauty evangelizes so easily when words fall short. Thank You Lord for the beauty of your creation!

What I learned about the Strawberry moon:
This full moon, known as the ‘Strawberry Moon,’ gets its name not from its color, but from the Algonquin tribes and early American farmers who marked it as the time when wild strawberries ripen. It’s the last full moon of spring or the first of summer, hovering right on the edge of seasons, like a quiet threshold between growth and harvest.

Two calendars. One Queen. 👑

Today, Catholics honor Mary in two breathtaking ways:
▫️ The Visitation (Novus Ordo) — when she carried Christ in her womb to Elizabeth, and the unborn John the Baptist leapt for joy.
▫️ The Queenship of Mary (1962 Missal) — when the Church proclaims what Heaven already knew: the Mother of the King is Queen.

She is the Ark, the Handmaid, the Queen, the first Tabernacle!
She rushed to serve, and now reigns to intercede.
She’s not distant, she’s deeply involved in your life, always pointing to Jesus 💙

St. Louis de Montfort said in True Devotion to Mary, §94: “We never give more honor to Jesus than when we honor His Mother, and we honor her simply and solely to honor Him all the more perfectly.”

In every calendar, in every Mass, she leads us to Him. Ad Iesum per Mariam ✨ To Jesus through Mary!

Not because He failed to heal…
but because He transformed pain into glory!

The Ascension of Christ isn’t just His return to the Father.
It’s our humanity raised to Heaven. ☝🏽✨
His wounded hands now reign from the throne.
The scars remain, not as reminders of pain,
but as eternal signs of love.

“He ascended with the wounds He had suffered for us, and so showed them to the Father as the price of our freedom.”
— St. Bede the Venerable

“We have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens… Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace.”
— Hebrews 4:14–16

On this feast of the Ascension,
we remember:
He didn’t rise to leave us behind.
He rose to bring us with Him!
