God Is Doing Something New

In today’s Gospel, we see the profound blessing of hearing and observing the Word of God—and no one exemplifies this more perfectly than our Blessed Mother Mary. She devoured the Scriptures, rejoiced in the Word made flesh, and prepared the way for Christ. As John the Baptist said, “He must increase; I must decrease.”

Our world today is filled with confusion and moral collapse, yet we can trust in the Gospel and the traditions of the Church. Prophets like Joel, and apparitions of Our Lady—La Salette, Lourdes, Fatima, Akita—call us to repentance, but also offer hope. Joel speaks of the harvest, and Our Lady promises triumph and peace through her Immaculate Heart.

We are living at the close of an age, a time for the faithful to witness God doing something new. Just as new wine requires fresh wineskins, God is bringing a renewal in the Spirit. The harvest is ripe, and the reapers are angels sent by God. We can rejoice in this promise, trusting in the triumph of Our Lady and the blessings awaiting the faithful.

Explore the depth of this triumph in our video series Days of Elijah and the Coming Triumph, available on DivineMercyPlus.org. God is doing something new—let us be hopeful and prepared.

As the world focuses on elections and politics, Fr. Mark Baron reminds us that November calls Catholics to something far deeper — the Last Things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell. While political outcomes can stir hope or despair, Fr. Mark challenges us to shift our trust from men to God, who alone rules history and every soul.
As Fr. Chris Alar explains, the evening we now call Halloween began not as a pagan ritual, but as a sacred Christian vigil—All Hallows’ Eve, the holy night before the solemnity of All Saints’ Day. This feast, instituted in the 700s, has always been a time to honor the saints and pray for the faithful departed. The Church’s ancient practice of vigils reflected the truth that holy days begin at sundown, anticipating the joy of what is to come.
Fr. Tyler Mentzer invites us to enter the same thirst that filled the heart of St. Teresa of Jesus — a thirst that only Christ can satisfy. When Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well, He revealed Himself as the Bridegroom of souls, drawing her from earthly longing to the eternal spring of divine love. “Whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst” (John 4:14). This is not poetic language—it is the invitation of the living God to each of us.
