The 10 Virtues of Mary: God's Blueprint for Every Disciple

The homily centered on the Ten Evangelical Virtues of Mary, which are not simply admirable qualities but a practical roadmap for every Christian seeking holiness. These virtues are: Mary Most Pure, Most Prudent (thinking before speaking and acting), Most Humble, Most Faithful (believing God's word without hesitation), Most Devout, Most Obedient, Most Poor (detached from worldly possessions), Most Patient (remaining faithfully at the foot of the Cross), Most Merciful (always helping those in need), and Most Sorrowful, united with Christ's suffering. Fr. Chris emphasized that if we strive to imitate these virtues, we are walking the path that leads to eternal life.

Happy All Saints Day! As Fr. Matthew reminds us, today we celebrate all the saints — not just those canonized and known to the Church, but also the hidden saints known only to God. These are the souls who lived their lives faithfully, quietly, and heroically, fulfilling the will of God in the ordinary duties of their daily lives. This feast is meant to be your feast day too. God desires every one of us to become a saint, to be counted among the Church Triumphant in Heaven.
