The Trinity is the living movement of God himself: the Father who loves and sends the Son, the Son who enters into our condition to heal, and the Holy Spirit who opens the human heart so that this saving light may be received and bear fruit.

Joan of Arc was a teenage girl who trusted God more than fear, comfort, or public opinion.

Though misunderstood and condemned by the world around her, she remained faithful to the mission God placed on her heart.

Her courage reminds us that holiness is not about power; it is about obedience, conviction, and trust in God’s voice.

St. Joan of Arc, pray for us!

On Pentecost, we celebrate the moment the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles, filling fearful hearts with courage, wisdom, and fire for the Gospel.

The same Spirit still moves today, bringing peace, guidance, and renewal to all who invite Him in.

‘Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and kindle in them the fire of Your love.’

The Ascension of the Lord reminds us that Christ opens heaven to humanity and calls us to carry His presence into the world. Even as He ascends, He promises: ‘I am with you always.’”

On the Feast of Saint Dymphna, patron saint of anxiety, mental illness, and emotional suffering, we remember that struggling does not place someone outside the reach of God’s love.

May her intercession bring peace to anxious hearts, strength to weary minds, and compassion to all who suffer silently.

St. Dymphna, pray for us!

Our Lady’s message at Fatima was simple and urgent: pray the Rosary.

In every mystery, Mary leads us closer to Jesus, through joy, sorrow, light, and glory.

On this Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, may we remember that even quiet prayers can change hearts, families, and the world.

This spring’s Toth–Lonergan Lecture invited us to reflect on what it means to seek truth, make responsible judgments, and live with integrity in a world that often feels uncertain and disorienting. We are grateful for the opportunity to engage with the Catholic intellectual tradition in a way that speaks directly to today’s cultural, spiritual, and personal questions.

Thank you to Dr. Jonathan Heaps for a thoughtful and challenging conversation on attentiveness, reasonableness, and moral responsibility.
