How can the Catholic Church better support Catholics on the spectrum? For starters, sensory-friendly Masses. Many autistic individuals desire to attend Mass but struggle with overstimulation. A simple solution? Finding a quiet Mass.

On this episode of Called to Flourish, we discuss ways parishes can be more inclusive and share resources to help autistic individuals and their families fully participate in the faith.

Happy Feast Day of Our Lady of LourdesHappy Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes! On this day in 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary first appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous in Lourdes, France. Despite her poverty, illness, and lack of education, Bernadette was chosen by God and Our Lady to be an instrument of grace and healing for the world. Over the course of 18 apparitions, Our Lady revealed herself as the Immaculate Conception and called for prayer, penance, and the construction of a chapel. The miraculous spring that emerged at the Grotto became a source of healing, drawing thousands seeking physical and spiritual renewal.

Bernadette herself, however, was not granted physical healing. Instead, she embraced suffering with faith, offering it for the conversion of souls. She later became a nun and endured great pain from tuberculosis of the bone, yet remained steadfast in her trust in God’s promises. Her body remains incorrupt, a powerful sign of the resurrection we all await. Lourdes continues to be a place of healing and hope, reminding us that, whether through miracles or the mystery of suffering, God is always at work in our lives. Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us!
