✝️ Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross | September 14
The Cross is the greatest symbol of Christianity—not because it represents suffering, but because it reveals the infinite love of Jesus Christ.
On this feast day, the Church remembers Christ’s saving sacrifice on Calvary, His victory over death through the Resurrection, and the discovery of the True Cross by St. Helena.
Join us as we reflect on the mystery of the Holy Cross and the hope it brings to every believer.
🙏 May the Holy Cross remind us that God’s love can transform every trial into grace.
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
Jesus told this parable to his disciples: ‘The kingdom of heaven will be like this: Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were sensible: the foolish ones did take their lamps, but they brought no oil, whereas the sensible ones took flasks of oil as well as their lamps. The bridegroom was late, and they all grew drowsy and fell asleep. But at midnight there was a cry, “The bridegroom is here! Go out and meet him.” At this, all those bridesmaids woke up and trimmed their lamps, and the foolish ones said to the sensible ones, “Give us some of your oil: our lamps are going out.” But they replied, “There may not be enough for us and for you; you had better go to those who sell it and buy some for yourselves.” They had gone off to buy it when the bridegroom arrived. Those who were ready went in with him to the wedding hall and the door was closed. The other bridesmaids arrived later. “Lord, Lord,” they said “open the door for us.” But he replied, “I tell you solemnly, I do not know you.” So stay awake, because you do not know either the day or the hour.'
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Stay awake, because you do not know the day when your master is coming. You may be quite sure of this, that if the householder had known at what time of the night the burglar would come, he would have stayed awake and would not have allowed anyone to break through the wall of his house. Therefore, you too must stand ready because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.‘What sort of servant, then, is faithful and wise enough for the master to place him over his household to give them their food at the proper time? Happy that servant if his master's arrival finds him at this employment. I tell you solemnly, he will place him over everything he owns. But as for the dishonest servant who says to himself, “My master is taking his time,” and sets about beating his fellow servants and eating and drinking with drunkards, his master will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not know. The master will cut him off and send him to the same fate as the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.'
You are the sons of those who murdered the prophets
Jesus said: ‘Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You who are like whitewashed tombs that look handsome on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and every kind of corruption. In the same way you appear to people from the outside like good honest men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.‘Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You who build the sepulchres of the prophets and decorate the tombs of holy men, saying, “We would never have joined in shedding the blood of the prophets, had we lived in our fathers' day.” So! Your own evidence tells against you! You are the sons of those who murdered the prophets! Very well then, finish off the work that your fathers began.'
Matthew 18:21-19:1' How often must I forgive my brother?'
Peter went up to Jesus and said, ‘Lord, how often must I forgive my brother if he wrongs me? As often as seven times?' Jesus answered, ‘Not seven, I tell you, but seventy-seven times.‘And so the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who decided to settle his accounts with his servants. When the reckoning began, they brought him a man who owed ten thousand talents; but he had no means of paying, so his master gave orders that he should be sold, together with his wife and children and all his possessions, to meet the debt. At this, the servant threw himself down at his master's feet. “Give me time” he said “and I will pay the whole sum.” And the servant's master felt so sorry for him that he let him go and cancelled the debt. Now as this servant went out, he happened to meet a fellow servant who owed him one hundred denarii; and he seized him by the throat and began to throttle him. “Pay what you owe me” he said. His fellow servant fell at his feet and implored him, saying, “Give me time and I will pay you.” But the other would not agree; on the contrary, he had him thrown into prison till he should pay the debt. His fellow servants were deeply distressed when they saw what had happened, and they went to their master and reported the whole affair to him. Then the master sent for him. “You wicked servant,” he said “I cancelled all that debt of yours when you appealed to me. Were you not bound, then, to have pity on your fellow servant just as I had pity on you?” And in his anger the master handed him over to the torturers till he should pay all his debt. And that is how my heavenly Father will deal with you unless you each forgive your brother from your heart.'Jesus had now finished what he wanted to say, and he left Galilee and came into the part of Judaea which is on the far side of the Jordan.
If your brother listens to you, you have won back your brother
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘If your brother does something wrong, go and have it out with him alone, between your two selves. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother. If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you: the evidence of two or three witnesses is required to sustain any charge. But if he refuses to listen to these, report it to the community; and if he refuses to listen to the community, treat him like a pagan or a tax collector.‘
I tell you solemnly, whatever you bind on earth shall be considered bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth shall be considered loosed in heaven.‘I tell you solemnly once again, if two of you on earth agree to ask anything at all, it will be granted to you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three meet in my name, I shall be there with them.'
As we begin the month traditionally dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, let us keep our eyes fixed on Christ while entrusting our lives to His Blessed Mother.
This week’s Catholic News reminds us that the Church continues her mission of evangelization, peace, and hope. Pope Leo XIV prepares for his first major pastoral journey to Latin America, while the faithful around the world are invited to pray for peace, unity, and a deeper love for Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
May this August inspire us to pray the Holy Rosary with renewed devotion, entrust our families to Our Lady’s loving care, and become joyful witnesses of the Gospel in our daily lives.
“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” — Luke 1:46–47
🙏 Let us pray for Pope Leo XIV, for peace throughout the world, for all families, and for every heart to be drawn closer to Jesus through Mary.

If a grain of wheat falls on the ground and dies, it yields a rich harvest
Jesus said to his disciples:
‘I tell you, most solemnly,unless a wheat grain falls on the ground and dies,it remains only a single grain;but if it dies,it yields a rich harvest.
Anyone who loves his life loses it;anyone who hates his life in this worldwill keep it for the eternal life.
If a man serves me, he must follow me,wherever I am, my servant will be there too.
If anyone serves me, my Father will honour him.'

Not every thought that enters your mind comes from God.
Fear. Shame. Hopelessness. Condemnation. Lies that whisper, “You’re not enough.” These were never sent by your Heavenly Father.
God’s Word reminds us:
“So shall my word be… it shall not return to me empty.” — Isaiah 55:11
If it doesn’t sound like God’s truth…
📮 Return it to sender.
Replace every lie with His promises.
Choose peace over fear.
Hope over despair.
Faith over doubt.
God only gives what is good, true, and life-giving. Let His voice be the one you believe today. ❤️🙏
