On National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for Mariners and People of the Sea, we pray today and every day for the safe passage of those who work and travel on our global waters.
Our Lady, Star of the Sea, Mother of God and our Mother,
you know all the dangers of soul and body that threaten mariners.
Protect your sons and daughters who work and
travel on the waters of the world, and
protect also their families that await their return.
Star of the Sea, Mother of the Church, give light and strength to those chaplains and lay ministers who bring the love of your Divine Son among mariners.
Fill their hearts with a supernatural and life-giving zeal for the apostolate. Star of the Sea, light shining
in the darkness, be a guide to those who sail amid the storms and dangers of life.
Enlighten the hearts of ardent disciples and bring us all to the safety of heaven’s port.
Amen

Heart Calling to Heart.
Friendship, marriage, family, religious life, and every other form of community is the grateful recognition of God’s call to share life together and the joyful offering of a hospitable space where the re-creating power of God’s Spirit can become manifest.
Thus all forms of life together can become ways to reveal to each other the real presence of God in our midst.
Community embraces all people, whatever their individual differences may be, and allows them to live together as brothers and sisters of Christ and sons and daughters of his heavenly Father.

Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church - Be present to the Presence
The great paradox of God’s kingdom is often expressed in the teachings of Jesus: The blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the last are first, the dead live. The first and most profound paradox is that the Virgin conceives. Our Blessed Mother experienced the coming Kingdom in her own body. She shares that experience with us in our communion with the Lord. We carry the Real Presence of the Savior in our own bodies. The ongoing paradox is that the Lord calls us, to be the vessels of his presence in the world.
“So let us look once more to the origins, to Mary and John at the foot of the cross. At the very source of the Church is the act of their entrustment to one another. The Lord entrusts each of them to the care of the other: John to Mary and Mary to John, with the result that, ‘from that hour the disciple took her to his own home’. Going back to the beginning also means developing the art of welcoming. Jesus’ words from the cross, spoken to his Mother and to John, summon us to make welcome the hallmark of our discipleship. Indeed, this was no simple act of piety, whereby Jesus entrusted his Mother to John so that she would not remain alone after his death. Instead, John’s welcoming of Mary into his home was a concrete sign of how we should live the supreme commandment of love. The worship of God takes place through closeness to our brothers and sisters.
How important in the Church is fraternal love and the welcome we show to our neighbour! The Lord reminds us of this at the ‘hour’ of the cross, in entrusting Mary and John to each other’s care. He urges the Christian community of every age not to lose sight of this priority: ‘Behold, your son’, ‘Behold, your Mother’. It is as if he said, ‘You have been saved by the same blood, you are one family, so welcome each other, love one another, heal each other’s wounds’. Leaving behind suspicions, divisions, rumours, gossip and mistrust. Brothers and sisters, ‘journey together’. For God is present wherever love reigns!” - Pope Francis

FEAST OF MARY, MOTHER OF THE CHURCH
“Mary’s love for all humanity directs the love of the Church and shows the Church how to take care of her children.” Pope Francis
A mother holds a child in all circumstances. When the child is angry, happy, excited, sad, or showing any other emotion, the warmth of the mother’s arms are always a fitting response because it is an act deeply rooted in love. Mary’s example of faith rooted in love continues to inspire the Church to this very day. She is a model for all believers and from her we learn how to live life as a disciple of Christ, a life rooted in love. And we will learn from Mary more readily when we allow her to be our mother, doing as St. John did, and taking Mary into our homes. Ask her to be your mother. Talk to her as your mother. Because that is who she is — she is our mother, and the Mother of the Church.
-Pope Francis
