Fr. Matthew Tomeny reminds us of one of the most urgent and essential truths Christ ever proclaimed: “If you do not repent, you will all perish” (Luke 13:3). The very first word of Jesus’ public ministry was repent—metanoia in Greek—meaning a complete change of mind and heart. True repentance is not a one-time act but a lifelong transformation. It is the continual turning of the soul toward God, the daily dying to self so that Christ may live in us.

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.

Join Fr. Chris Alar as he explains this amazing gift of mercy given to Mary, The Immaculate Conception, and why He did so. The Immaculate Conception is one of the most misunderstood dogmas of the Church and one that you need to understand to defend your faith.
