The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/122125.cfm Father Chris, MIC leads us into the hidden strength and obedience of Saint Joseph—a man whose silence speaks louder than words. While Mary’s fiat is rightly celebrated, salvation history also depended on Joseph’s quiet “yes.” Without it, Jesus would not have had the legal lineage of David, nor the protection and provision of a faithful earthly father.

The pastor in Lourdes didn't believe that St. Bernadette was receiving apparitions of Our Lady. To prove that it really was Our Lady, St. Bernadette was told to ask Our Lady one thing.Our Lady's reply to Bernadette: "I am the Immaculate Conception"Father Joe shares about this just outside the rectory where St. Bernadette's pastor lived in Lourdes.

St. Mary Magdalene was one of Christ's closest disciples during His earthly ministry. On this week's Saints in Focus, Br. Steve Castellano, MIC, shares how God's mercy worked in the life of this incredible saint. We pray that through the example of St. Mary Magdalene, others will come to give their lives to Christ as she did! Her feast day is celebrated on July 22.
