Fr. Tyler Mentzer, MIC, invites us to rediscover the heart of the Gospel—the very purpose of Christ. When Jesus declares, “Behold, I cast out demons and perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I accomplish my purpose,” He reveals the mission that defines His life and ours: to bring salvation, to dwell within us, and to unite us forever to Himself.

On this Memorial of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Fr. Mark Baron, MIC reminds us of Christ's invitation: "Come to Me... Take My yoke upon you." Jesus is not asking us to carry more weight; He is inviting us to let Him carry our burdens with us. The Christian life begins with surrender; not self-reliance.

In Wisdom is a spiritintelligent, holy, unique,Manifold, subtle, agile,clear, unstained, certain,Not baneful, loving the good, keen,unhampered, beneficent, kindly,Firm, secure, tranquil,all-powerful, all-seeing,And pervading all spirits,though they be intelligent, pure and very subtle.For Wisdom is mobile beyond all motion,and she penetrates and pervades all things by reason of her purity.For she is an aura of the might of Godand a pure effusion of the glory of the Almighty;therefore nought that is sullied enters into her.
