Greetings and blessings, beloved family!

Today, Saturday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time, we joyfully thank God for the gift of life and for leading us into the month of October. May this month bring us God’s blessings, peace, and joy in abundance. We particularly pray for those mourning the loss of a loved one who recently passed away and the eternal repose of the souls in Purgatory. May our Blessed Mother Mary intercede for all those in pain and sorrow and may this month bring peace to troubled hearts, direction to the lost, comfort to the grieving, and strength to the weary. In all things, may His will be done and His name be glorified. Amen🙏🏽

Lord Almighty, we lift our hearts in gratitude for Your unfailing love, protection, and mercy that carried us through the past month. We entrust every day into Your hands, asking for Your blessings, guidance, and peace in our lives and families. May October be for us a season of renewed faith, deeper hope, and overflowing joy. We pray especially for all families, for children, parents, and teachers, that they may be strengthened and protected. Bless those who will celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, new opportunities, and milestones this month, and comfort those who enter October with heavy hearts or struggles. Lord, go before us, walk beside us, and remain with us always, now and forever. Amen🙏🏽

Today, we humbly pray for the poor, abandoned, and those in need, for all those who are marginalized in our society. For those who are imprisoned, especially those who are unjustly imprisoned. We pray for charitable organizations, asking God’s blessing upon their mission and we lift our prayers for peace, love, justice and unity in our families, marriages and our world. May God protect us all and keep us safe and united in peace, love and faith. Amen 🙏🏽

Through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary on this special Feast day, we lift our prayers for the protection, safety and well-being of missionaries, pilots, and all travelers. We ask for healing for the sick and dying, especially those who are suffering from cancers and other terminal diseases, strength for the weary, peace in troubled homes, and provision for all in need. Guide our steps in righteousness, protect us from harm, and fill our hearts with faith, joy, and gratitude. May this month draw us closer to Your will, and may every day be a testimony of Your goodness and mercy in our lives. We begin this month with trust in Your unfailing love, Lord, and we surrender all that lies ahead into Your hands. Amen 🙏🏾

We continue to pray for the Church, the Clergy, our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, the Cardinals, Bishops, all Priests, that they be sanctified in their ministry to God’s people. We pray for persecuted Christians, for the conversion of sinners, and Christians all over the world suffering from political and religious unrest.

Through the intercession of St. Joseph, we pray for all fathers, mothers, workers, and all those who labor in this world. May the Lord bless the work of their hands, and may God’s grace and mercy be with us all during this season of Ordinary Time. Wishing us all and our loved ones a joyful, peaceful, and grace-filled month of October. 🙏🏽

We remember in prayer all who began this journey of life with us but are no longer here. We pray for the gentle repose of the souls of our loved ones who recently passed away, and we continue to pray for the souls in Purgatory; lost souls. For the repose of the souls of all the faithful departed, may the Lord receive them into the light of Eternal Kingdom.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” ~ Matthew 5:4

PRAYER FOR THE DEAD: In your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters. In this life, you embraced them with your tender love; deliver them now from every evil, and bid them eternal rest. The old order has passed away: welcome them into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain, but fullness of peace and joy with your Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen🙏🏽

“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His Saints.” ~ Psalm 116:15

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. May their gentle souls through the mercy of God rest in perfect peace with our Lord Jesus Christ… Amen 🙏🏽 ✝️🕯✝️🕯✝️🕯

SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS:

Bible Readings for today’s Holy Mass, Saturday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time | USCCB | https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading

Today’s Bible Readings: Saturday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time | October 25, 2025
Reading 1: Romans 8:1–11
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 24:1b–2, 3–4ab, 5–6
Gospel: Luke 13:1–9

Gospel Reading ~ Luke 13:1–9

“If you do not repent, you will all perish as they did.”

Some people told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices. He said to them in reply, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were greater sinners than all other Galileans? By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did! Or those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them— do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem? By no means! But I tell you, if you do not repent, you will all perish as they did!” And he told them this parable: “There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard, and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none, he said to the gardener, ‘For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree but have found none. So cut it down. Why should it exhaust the soil?’ He said to him in reply, ‘Sir, leave it for this year also, and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it; it may bear fruit in the future. If not you can cut it down.’”

In today’s Gospel, Jesus confronts the crowd with a sobering truth about sin, suffering, and repentance. The people wanted to know whether certain tragedies, like Pilate’s massacre of the Galileans or the fall of the tower at Siloam, were punishments for sin. But Jesus redirects their focus from judging others to examining their own hearts. “Do you think they were greater sinners?” He asks, and then warns, “If you do not repent, you will all perish as they did.” Christ’s words shatter the illusion that sin only belongs to others and remind us that repentance is not optional but urgent.

The parable of the barren fig tree deepens this message. The owner, disappointed by years without fruit, wants to cut the tree down, but the gardener pleads for mercy and another year to tend it. Here we see the patience of God, merciful yet expectant. Like the fig tree, we are given time and grace to bear fruit through conversion, forgiveness, and renewed faith. Yet that time is not endless. Divine mercy delays judgment, not to excuse sin, but to give us space to change. Jesus, the divine Gardener, cultivates our souls with His word, nourishes us through the sacraments, and intercedes for our growth. The question is whether we will respond to His call with fruitfulness or continue to waste His grace in spiritual barrenness. Repentance, therefore, is not simply regret, it is transformation. It is turning away from the lifeless soil of sin and drawing life from God’s Spirit. Jesus reminds us that every moment is an opportunity to start anew. God’s mercy is not indifferent to justice; it waits lovingly but firmly. We are called not to presume upon His patience but to act upon His grace while it is offered. The time for repentance is not “someday” it is now!

Reflecting on the First Reading, in his letter to the Romans, Saint Paul reveals the freedom that comes through the Holy Spirit. “There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,” he proclaims. The law of the Spirit has set us free from the law of sin and death. Paul contrasts life in the flesh, dominated by selfish desires, with life in the Spirit, marked by peace, righteousness, and divine communion. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, dwells in us, giving life even to our mortal bodies. This is not mere moral effort but divine empowerment. The Christian life, therefore, is not about perfection achieved through human willpower but transformation through grace. To live “in the Spirit” means surrendering our old ways of thinking and acting to Christ, allowing His presence to reshape us from within. When we let the Holy Spirit govern our thoughts, choices, and relationships, we move from death to life—from condemnation to peace.

The Psalmist’s cry “Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face” is a song of longing for divine presence and purity of heart. To ascend the mountain of the Lord, one must have “clean hands and a pure heart.” These words echo Paul’s message: only those who live by the Spirit can enter into the fullness of God’s life. The Psalm reminds us that holiness is not a distant ideal but a lived reality of integrity and worship. Those who seek God sincerely receive His blessing and become living reflections of His light in the world.

As we reflect and meditate on the words of the Sacred Scriptures today, let us examine our hearts, Do I recognize the urgency of repentance in my own life, or do I presume upon God’s patience? Have I borne the fruits of love, mercy, and forgiveness that God seeks in me? Do I allow the Holy Spirit to guide my choices, or am I still governed by worldly desires? When I fall, do I rise again in hope, trusting in Christ’s mercy? Am I cultivating my soul with prayer, Scripture, and charity, or am I allowing spiritual laziness to take root? The time of grace is now, God waits not to condemn but to renew us in love. May God in His infinite grace and mercy, grant us His grace as we remain steadfast in faith and continue to serve Him in spirit and in truth. 🙏🏽

Lord Jesus, You are the divine Gardener who tends the soil of our hearts with mercy and truth. Thank You for the gift of time and grace to bear fruit in Your kingdom. Remove from us all that is lifeless and unfruitful, and fill us with Your Spirit of life and peace. Help us to turn away from sin with sincere repentance and to walk in the freedom of Your love. May our lives reflect Your patience, Your compassion, and Your holiness. Strengthen us, Lord, to live each day aware of Your presence, responsive to Your Word, and ready for Your coming. Amen. 🙏🏾

MEMORIAL OF THE SIX WELSH MARTYRS AND THEIR COMPANIONS; SAINTS CHRYSANTHUS AND DARIA; SAINTS CRISPIN AND CRISPINIAN AND SAINT GAUDENTIUS OF BRESCIA, BISHOP ~ FEAST DAY ~ OCTOBER 25TH: Today, the Church commemorates the heroic faith and witness of the Six Welsh Martyrs and their Companions, Saints Chrysanthus and Daria, Saints Crispin and Crispinian, and Saint Gaudentius of Brescia, Bishop. These saints, though from different lands and centuries, shared one unshakable truth the love of Christ is worth every sacrifice. Their lives call us to fidelity, courage, and steadfast devotion amid trials. On this holy day, we pray for the Church in every nation, especially where faith is persecuted. We remember shoemakers, cobblers, and all laborers who work with their hands; teachers and parents who form hearts in truth; missionaries and bishops who shepherd God’s people; and all who bear witness to Christ in the face of opposition. Through the intercession of these saints, may our hearts be strengthened to follow the Lord with love, perseverance, and hope. Amen. 🙏🏾

Saints of the Day with Daily Reflections | October 25th https://dailyreflectionswithphilomena.com

THE SIX WELSH MARTYRS AND THEIR COMPANIONS: The Six Welsh Martyrs—Saints Richard Gwyn, John Jones, John Roberts, Philip Evans, John Lloyd, and David Lewis—together with their thirty-four English companions, bore witness to Christ during the Catholic persecutions in England and Wales (1535–1679). Teachers, priests, and religious men, they refused to renounce their faith even at the cost of their lives. Canonized by Pope Saint Paul VI in 1970, they stand as shining examples of courage, unity, and perseverance.

PRAYER: Almighty God, You strengthened the Welsh Martyrs and their Companions with unwavering faith in the face of death. Grant that, through their intercession, we may remain steadfast in truth and faithful to Christ even amid trials. Amen. 🙏🏾

SAINTS CHRYSANTHUS AND DARIA, MARTYRS: Saints Chrysanthus and Daria were a Roman husband and wife of noble birth who dedicated their lives to spreading the Christian faith in the third century. Converted through love and mutual faith, they brought many to Christ before being condemned to death for their witness. Enduring torture with serenity, they were buried alive in a sandpit, gaining the crown of martyrdom together. Their love for Christ and each other mirrors the union of faith and sacrifice that sanctifies Christian marriage and discipleship.

PRAYER: Lord, by the steadfast faith of Saints Chrysanthus and Daria, You showed the power of love united in You. Grant that through their prayers, our homes may be filled with faith, courage, and fidelity to Your will. Amen. 🙏🏾

SAINTS CRISPIN AND CRISPINIAN, MARTYRS: Saints Crispin and Crispinian, noble brothers from Rome, left everything to preach the Gospel in Gaul. Supporting themselves as shoemakers, they served the poor and shared Christ with all they met. During the persecution of Diocletian, they were tortured and beheaded for their faith in 286 A.D. Their lives remind us that holiness is found not in wealth or status, but in humble service and steadfast love of God. They are patrons of shoemakers, leather workers, and all who labor with integrity.

PRAYER: O God, who crowned Your servants Saints Crispin and Crispinian with martyrdom, grant that through their intercession, we may work with honesty, serve with joy, and bear witness to Christ in our daily lives. Amen. 🙏🏾

SAINT GAUDENTIUS OF BRESCIA, BISHOP: Saint Gaudentius of Brescia, successor of Saint Philastrius, was a gifted preacher, teacher, and shepherd. Consecrated bishop by Saint Ambrose in 387, he guided his flock with wisdom and humility. His writings reveal deep faith, pastoral care, and love for Christ’s truth. Sent on mission to defend Saint John Chrysostom, he faced dangers with courage and returned with an undiminished spirit of peace. Saint Gaudentius died around 410 A.D., remembered as “the glory of the doctors of his age.”

PRAYER: God of all light and wisdom, You raised Saint Gaudentius as a faithful bishop and teacher of truth. May his prayers inspire us to live as humble witnesses of the Gospel and to lead others toward Your saving love. Amen. 🙏🏾

Our Blessed Mother Mary, the Six Welsh Martyrs and their Companions, Saints Chrysanthus and Daria, Saints Crispin and Crispinian, and Saint Gaudentius of Brescia — Pray for us. 🙏🏾

THE POPE’S MONTHLY INTENTIONS FOR 2025: FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER: For collaboration between different religious traditions. Let us pray that believers in different religious traditions might work together to defend and promote peace, justice, and human fraternity.

(https://popesprayerusa.net/popes-intentions/)

DEVOTION OF THE MONTH OF OCTOBER | MONTH OF THE HOLY ROSARY: October is dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary, a powerful prayer that draws us into the heart of the Gospel through the eyes of Mary. The Rosary is more than repetition. It is a meditation on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, united with the loving presence of His Blessed Mother. As Pope St. John Paul II reminded us, the Rosary is “a compendium of the Gospel,” helping us to contemplate Christ’s face with Mary.

The twenty mysteries of the Rosary, Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, and Luminous, invite us to journey with Christ from His Incarnation to His Passion and His triumph over death. Each mystery opens us to God’s saving love, strengthens our faith, and leads us to imitate the virtues of Jesus and Mary in our daily lives. This month, the Church invites us to renew our devotion to the Rosary by praying it daily, whether alone, in families, or in community. Through it, we find peace in times of trial, strength against temptation, and deeper trust in God’s providence. Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary, intercedes for us and leads us always to her Son.

“O Mary, our Blessed Mother and Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, teach us to pray with a pure heart and a steadfast spirit. As we meditate on the mysteries of Christ, help us to grow in faith, hope, and love. Intercede for us before your Son, that our families, our Church, and our world may be filled with peace and the light of the Gospel. Amen.” 🙏🏽

PRAYER INTENTIONS: Heavenly Father, on this day, as we reflect on the transforming power of Your Spirit who sets us free from sin and death, we ask for the grace to live not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Strengthen in us the resolve to bear fruit worthy of repentance, as the Gospel reminds us that true faith is shown in the renewal of our hearts and deeds. Through the intercession of the Six Welsh Martyrs and their Companions, grant courage and perseverance to all who face persecution for their faith. Through Saints Chrysanthus and Daria, bless Christian couples with unity, holiness, and steadfast love. Through Saints Crispin and Crispinian, inspire all workers and artisans to honor You through their labor. And through Saint Gaudentius of Brescia, guide our bishops, priests, and teachers to shepherd Your people in truth and humility. We pray for peace in our families and nations, for the sick, the poor, the dying, and all who long for Your mercy and healing. May our hearts be renewed by Your Spirit, that we may live each day bearing fruits of righteousness in Christ. Amen. 🙏🏾

LET US PRAY:

My laboring Lord, You never cease to work diligently to cultivate the soil of my soul so that the seeds of Your mercy will grow and produce the good fruit You desire to come forth from my life. Please give me the grace I need to be faithful to a daily life of prayer, a practice of penance and a search for Your holy Word. Transform me, dear Lord, and bring forth the good fruit of Your holy Kingdom in my life. Jesus, I trust in You. Amen 🙏🏽

Lord God, You alone know the secrets of our hearts and the depths of Your mercy toward us. As You call us today to repentance and new life, help us to yield fully to the guidance of Your Holy Spirit. May the witness of the saints we honor today inspire us to live with courage, to work faithfully, and to love selflessly. Cleanse us from all that withers our souls, and make our hearts fruitful in charity, forgiveness, and peace. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🙏🏾

Save Us, Savior of the World. Our Blessed, the Six Welsh Martyrs and their Companions, Saints Chrysanthus and Daria, Saints Crispin and Crispinian, and Saint Gaudentius of Brescia ~ Pray for us 🙏🏾

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you. Immaculate Heart of Mary, Pray for us. Amen 🙏🏽

Thanking God for the precious gift of this new day, and during this gentle rhythm of Ordinary Time, may our hearts remain open to the quiet working of the Holy Spirit who continues to guide, renew, and strengthen us each day. As we begin this new month of October, we lift our hearts in gratitude for the blessings of the past and entrust the days ahead into God’s loving hands. May this month be filled with hope, safety, and the quiet joy that comes from knowing that Christ walks with us always. Alleluia! Have a blessed, safe, grace-filled and fruitful Saturday, and a relaxing weekend, and a fulfilling month of October.🙏🏽

Blessings and Love always, Philomena 💖
