Greetings and blessings, beloved family!
As we continue in the spirit of Thanksgiving, we join our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, the first U.S.–born Pope, who reminded us that there are “many things I’m thankful for.” He encourages everyone, regardless of faith, to pause and use the opportunity of this beautiful feast of Thanksgiving “ to say thank you to someone, to recognize that we all have received so many gifts — first and foremost, the gift of life, the gift of faith, the gift of unity, to encourage all people to try and promote peace and harmony and to give thanks to God for the many gifts we have been given.”
Today, the Church observes Saturday of the Thirty-Fourth Week in Ordinary Time, the last day of the Church’s liturgical year before we begin the Season of Advent, as we come to the end of the liturgical year, a time that invites us to deepen our vigilance and strengthen our hope in God’s eternal Kingdom, Jesus calls upon us to stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to stand with confidence before the Son of Man. On this day, we also honor Saint Saturninus, Bishop and Martyr, and Blessed Denis of the Nativity, Religious, whose steadfast courage and fidelity to Christ inspire us to persevere in faith amid trials. As we reflect on today’s Scripture readings, may our hearts be renewed with trust, watchfulness, and unwavering devotion to the Lord who reigns forever.
We joyfully thank God for the gift of life and for leading us safely in this month of November. As we continue this sacred journey of faith, we give thanks for God’s boundless mercy and the hope of eternal life promised to those who believe in Him. May the witness of the Saints and the faith of our loved ones who have gone before us inspire us to live each day in holiness, humility, and love. This month of November, dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory, invites us to pray fervently for our departed loved ones and for all who await the fullness of heavenly joy. We especially remember those who mourn, that they may find comfort and peace in the promise of resurrection. Through the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of All Saints, may God grant eternal rest to the faithful departed, healing to the brokenhearted, and grace to all who seek His mercy. May this new month bring light to our minds, peace to our hearts, and strength to our souls. Amen🙏🏽
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” ~ Matthew 5:4
We join our Holy Father Pope Leo XIV to pray for the gentle repose of the souls of our dear beloved late Pope Francis, the Cardinals, Bishops, Priests and Religious who have gone to be with the Lord. We also 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.
“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 🙏🏽
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🙏🏽✝️🕯✝️🕯✝️🕯
Lord Almighty, we lift our hearts in gratitude for Your unfailing love, protection, and mercy that carried us through the past month. We entrust the days of November into Your hands, asking for Your blessings, guidance, and peace upon our lives and families. May this month be for us a time 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 it 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 healthcare professionals, educators, 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 November. 🙏🏽
SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS:
Bible Readings for today’s Holy Mass, Saturday of the Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time | USCCB | https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading
Today’s Bible Readings: Saturday of the Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time | November 29, 2025
Reading 1: Daniel 7:15–27
Responsorial Psalm: Daniel 3:82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87
Gospel: Luke 21:34–36
Gospel Reading ~ Luke 21:34–36
“Be vigilant at all times and pray.”
“Jesus said to His disciples: ‘Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap. For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth. Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.’”
In today’s Gospel reading, on this last day of the Church’s liturgical year before we begin the Season of Advent, Jesus calls upon us to stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to stand with confidence before the Son of Man. Advent is a time of prayerful waiting for the coming of the Lord. It is appropriate then that the Gospel for the last day of the liturgical year, just on the cusp of Advent, should highlight the need for that attitude of prayerful waiting and watching. Jesus has been speaking about the future but this is a call for the present, for the here and now. Jesus acknowledges in that Gospel reading that the cares and pleasures of this earthly life have enormous power to absorb us completely. Our defence against that is to pray at all times, to be prayerful people, attentive and awake to the Lord who is both coming and present. Jesus assures us that this prayerful stance towards life, this Advent stance, will give us the strength to stand with confidence before the Lord, just as one would stand before a friend who knows us and whom we have come to know.
Jesus speaks with a profound urgency that reaches directly into our modern world, a world filled with distractions, noise, and restless worry. His warning is not meant to frighten us but to awaken us. He cautions against a heart that becomes “drowsy,” not only through obvious sins but also through the subtle suffocation caused by anxiety and spiritual forgetfulness. Jesus knows how easily daily concerns can numb the soul, weakening our hunger for God and diminishing our alertness to His presence. He calls us to spiritual vigilance, a watchfulness rooted not in fear but in love. To be vigilant means to guard the heart, to remain awake to grace, to recognize the movements of God even in ordinary life. Jesus invites us to rely on prayer, a steady, persevering prayer that gives strength in trials, clarity amid confusion, and hope in the face of the unknown. Vigilance, then, is not passive waiting but active discipleship, a life anchored in God even when the world grows restless. The call of Jesus in today’s Gospel reading is for us to ‘Watch’ and to ‘Stay awake’, a spiritual state of watchfulness or wakefulness because He identifies staying away with ‘praying at all times’.
The First Reading gives us Daniel, terrified by his visions yet humble enough to seek understanding. His encounter shows the tension between earthly kingdoms that rise and fall and the everlasting Kingdom of God that cannot be shaken. The four beasts represent earthly powers marked by violence, instability, and arrogance, mirroring the powers and pressures that still threaten faith today. Yet the message God reveals is one of firm reassurance: “The holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingship… forever and ever.” Daniel’s vision reveals that despite chaos, oppression, or the appearance of evil’s victory, God’s judgment will prevail. The “Ancient One” arrives, justice is rendered, and dominion is handed to God’s faithful people. Daniel’s fear turns into understanding, and understanding leads to confidence. The reading reminds us that believers are never abandoned to the forces of darkness; God holds the final word, the final authority, and the final victory.
The Responsorial Psalm invites every creature, humans, priests, servants, the just, and even “holy men of humble heart” to praise the Lord. Each line is a call to lift our gaze from earthly turmoil to the majesty of God. Praise becomes an act of freedom, a declaration that God is greater than every fear, more enduring than every kingdom, and more powerful than every earthly threat. This litany of blessing echoes Daniel’s vision: God alone reigns forever, and those who remain faithful will share in His enduring glory.
As we reflect and meditate on the words of the Sacred Scriptures today, we are invited to ask ourselves: Do I allow the anxieties of life to dull my spiritual sensitivity and weaken my trust in God? Am I vigilant in my walk with the Lord, or have worldly concerns quietly taken first place in my heart? Do I seek understanding like Daniel, especially when faced with fear, uncertainty, or confusion? When I see the turbulence of the world around me, do I remember that God’s Kingdom endures forever and that He will ultimately vindicate His faithful ones? Am I cultivating the kind of prayer life that strengthens me to stand firm in trials, or do I neglect the very grace that sustains me? The readings call us to spiritual alertness, courageous faith, and unwavering trust in the One who holds all things in His hands. May we be strengthened to live with a vigilance born of love, not fear and with praise that rises even amidst the challenges of life.
In a world full of noise, distractions, and shifting values, we are encouraged to remain awake to guard our hearts, stay rooted in prayer, and keep our eyes fixed on the eternal Kingdom. God is not distant; He is present, ruling, guiding, and strengthening us. As disciples, we are called to live each day with intentional faith, confident hope, and a readiness that reflects our trust in Christ’s return. May our lives become testimonies of vigilance, perseverance, and praise in the midst of a changing world. 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, keep my heart awake, attentive, and steadfast in Your presence. Deliver me from the distractions and anxieties that weary my spirit and dull my love for You. Grant me the grace to pray with constancy, to trust with courage, and to stand firm in every trial. Like Daniel, may I seek wisdom when I am afraid, and like the just, may I bless Your holy Name with a humble heart. Strengthen me to walk in vigilance and faith, that I may be ready to stand before You with joy on the day You come in glory. Amen🙏🏽
MEMORIAL OF SAINT SATURNINUS, BISHOP AND MARTYR; AND BLESSED DENIS OF THE NATIVITY, RELIGIOUS – FEAST DAY: NOVEMBER 29TH: Today, the Church joyfully commemorates the Memorial of Saint Saturninus, Bishop and Martyr (Patron of Toulouse and Courage in Persecution) and Blessed Denis of the Nativity, Religious (Patron of Missionaries and Navigators). These holy men strengthened the Church through fearless witness, steadfast faith, and total fidelity to Christ—even unto death. Their lives remind us that God’s grace empowers ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary acts of courage. As we honor them today, we ask their intercession for all who face persecution, danger, injustice, and hardship, praying that faith, peace, and hope may flourish in our hearts and in our world. 🙏🏾
Saints of the Day with Daily Reflections | November 29th https://dailyreflectionswithphilomena.com
(Direct link to the detailed history of Saint Saturninus and Blessed Denis of the Nativity | https://dailyreflectionswithphilomena.com/saints-of-the-day-feast-day-november-29th/ )
SAINT SATURNINUS, BISHOP AND MARTYR: Saint Saturninus of Toulouse (d. 257) is venerated as the first bishop of Toulouse and a courageous apostle of Gaul. Sent from Rome by Pope Saint Fabian around the year 245, Saturninus arrived in a region dominated by pagan worship and spiritual darkness. Through his preaching, prayer, and pastoral charity, the small Christian community grew rapidly—so powerfully that pagan priests began to fear the decline of their influence.
Each day, as he walked past the capitol where sacrifices to false gods were offered, the demons worshiped there were said to tremble at his presence. One day, as a sacrificial bull stood prepared before a crowd, Saturninus passed by and was accused of angering the gods. Refusing to offer incense to idols, he boldly declared: “I know but one God, and to Him I will offer the sacrifice of praise.” Enraged, the crowd bound him to the bull, which was driven down the temple steps. The saint was dragged to his death, and two Christian women lovingly recovered and buried his body. His martyrdom ignited an even greater flourishing of faith throughout the region.
PRAYER: O God, who glorified Saint Saturninus with the crown of martyrdom, grant that, imitating his courage and fidelity, we may proclaim Your truth without fear and remain steadfast in faith. Through his intercession, strengthen all who face persecution today. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🙏🏾
BLESSED DENIS OF THE NATIVITY, RELIGIOUS: Blessed Denis of the Nativity (1600–1638), born Pierre Berthelot, was a gifted French sailor, cartographer, and naval pilot whose skills earned the admiration of the kings of France and Portugal. After years of naval service and honors—including knighthood—he discerned a deeper calling and entered the Discalced Carmelite Order, taking the religious name Dionysius (Denis) of the Nativity.
His expertise soon led him to be chosen for a delicate diplomatic and missionary mission to the Sultan of Aceh in Sumatra. However, upon arrival, Denis and his companions were seized under false accusations stirred by Dutch forces. They were tortured and pressured to renounce their Catholic faith and convert to Islam. Filled with unshakable courage, Denis encouraged the others to remain faithful, insisting he be executed last so he could strengthen those with him. His final earthly prayer, moments before he was killed by a scimitar, was simply: “Jesus, Mary.”
He is remembered as a model of missionary zeal, purity of heart, and heroic fidelity to Christ in the face of torture and death.
PRAYER: Lord God, You filled Blessed Denis of the Nativity with missionary zeal and unwavering courage. Through his intercession, grant us the grace to remain faithful in trials and to bear witness to Your love with humility and strength. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🙏🏾
Our Blessed Mother Mary, Saint Saturninus, and Blessed Denis of the Nativity ~ Pray for us. 🙏🏾

PURGATORY: WHAT IS PURGATORY? | https://dailyreflectionswithphilomena.com/2024/11/15/purgatory-and-limbo/
PURGATORY: The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines purgatory as a “purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven,” which is experienced by those “who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified” (CCC 1030). It notes that “this final purification of the elect . . . is entirely different from the punishment of the damned” (CCC 1031). The purification is necessary because, as Scripture teaches, nothing unclean will enter the presence of God in heaven (Rev. 21:27) and, while we may die with our mortal sins forgiven, there can still be many impurities in us, specifically venial sins and the temporal punishment due to sins already forgiven.

THE POPE’S MONTHLY INTENTIONS FOR 2025: FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER: For the prevention of suicide. Let us pray that those who are struggling with suicidal thoughts might find the support, care and love they need in their community, and be open to the beauty of life.
(https://popesprayerusa.net/popes-intentions/)
DEVOTION OF THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER | MONTH OF THE HOLY SOULS: November is dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory, a month of prayerful remembrance for all the faithful departed who await the joy of Heaven. The Church calls us to intercede for them through our prayers, sacrifices, and Masses, trusting in God’s mercy to purify their souls and welcome them into eternal light. These souls, known as the Church Suffering, are united with the Church Triumphant in Heaven and the Church Militant on earth, one communion of love bound together in Christ.
This devotion is beautifully expressed in the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls’ Day) on November 2, which follows the Solemnity of All Saints on November 1. As the liturgical year draws to a close, the Church invites us to reflect on eternity, on the hope of resurrection and the promise of Heaven. Each prayer offered for the departed becomes an act of mercy that brings comfort to their souls and strengthens our own journey toward holiness.
“Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace. Amen.” 🙏🏽

PRAYER INTENTIONS: As we reflect on God’s enduring Kingdom and the call to remain vigilant, we lift up our hearts in prayer for the grace to stand firm in faith. We pray for all Christians facing fear, confusion, or discouragement, that they may draw strength from the courage of Saints Saturninus and Blessed Denis of the Nativity, who remained steadfast even in persecution. We pray for our families and communities, that God may purify our intentions, deepen our trust in Him, and guard us from anything that distracts us from His love. We remember those suffering violence, oppression, or injustice around the world, asking the Lord to deliver them and grant them hope. May all who feel overwhelmed by life’s burdens receive the peace that comes from clinging to Christ with watchful hearts.
LET US PRAY:
My hopeful Lord, You and You alone are the answer to every struggle in life. You and You alone can relieve me of my burdens and the poor choices I make. Help me to trust in You always and in every circumstance in life. I do entrust myself to You and choose to make You the single focus of my life. Jesus, I do trust in You. Amen 🙏🏽
Lord Jesus, strengthen our hearts to remain awake, faithful, and attentive to Your presence each day. Grant us the courage to persevere through trials, the wisdom to recognize Your guiding hand, and the humility to surrender our fears to You. Through the intercession of Saint Saturninus and Blessed Denis of the Nativity, may we walk in holiness, live with purity of intention, and prepare our souls for the coming of Your Kingdom. Keep us rooted in hope, filled with Your peace, and committed to Your will today and always. Amen.🙏🏾
Save Us, Savior of the World. Our Blessed Mother Mary, Saint Saturninus, and Blessed Denis of the Nativity ~ 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 on this Saturday of the Thirty-fourth Week in 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 continue our journey through the month of November, 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, dedicated to praying for the Holy Souls, be filled with hope, peace, safety, and the quiet joy that comes from knowing that Christ walks with us always. Alleluia! Journey mercies for all those traveling during this Thanksgiving. Have a blessed, safe, grace-filled Saturday, a relaxing weekend and a peaceful continuation of the month of November. 🙏🏽
Blessings and Love always, Philomena 💖
