Saints Alive! | Sts. Martha, Mary and Lazarus

Today’s memorial was formerly a memorial only in honor of Saint Martha. However, on February 2, 2021, Pope Francis expanded this memorial to include Martha’s sister and brother, Mary and Lazarus. Thus, today we celebrate these three siblings together. Note: the above is excerpted from our friends at Catholic Daily Reflections (catholicdailyreflections.com).

Divine Office | Blessed are they who deserved to receive Christ in their homes

In today's Office of Readings we encounter a reading from a sermon of St Augustine of Hippo(354-430 A.D.). He wrote an enormous amount and left a permanent mark on both philosophy and theology. His Confessions, as dazzling in style as they are deep in content, are a landmark of world literature. The Second Readings in the Office of Readings contain extracts from many of his sermons and commentaries and also from the Confessions. For a reflection, "Blessed are they who deserved to receive Christ in their homes," please click on the image. Peace be with you!
