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 commemorates the memorial of Saint Catherine Labouré, Virgin and Visionary, and Saint James of the March, Priest. As we approach the conclusion of this liturgical year, we are invited to reflect on the steadfastness of faith, the power of God’s promises, and the call to vigilance in our spiritual lives. Saint Catherine Labouré reminds us of humble obedience and trust in Mary’s guidance, while Saint James of the March inspires zealous dedication to preaching, conversion, and service to the poor. In today’s readings, we are called to place our hope in the eternal Kingdom of God, confident that though earthly powers may rise and fall, Christ’s Word endures forever. May the lives of these saints encourage us to remain watchful, faithful, and devoted as we journey toward the coming of our Lord.
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, Friday of the Thirty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time | USCCB | https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading
Today’s Bible Readings: Friday of the Thirty-Fourth Week in Ordinary Time | November 28, 2025
Reading 1: Daniel 7:2–14
Responsorial Psalm: Daniel 3:75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81
Gospel: Luke 21:29–33
Gospel Reading ~ Luke 21:29–33
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.”
“Jesus told His disciples a parable. “Consider the fig tree and all the other trees. When their buds burst open, you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near; in the same way, when you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near. Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.”
In today’s Gospel, Jesus offers His disciples a simple parable from nature the budding of the fig tree, to teach them how to discern the signs of the times. Just as the bursting buds reliably signal the nearness of summer, so too will certain events signal the arrival of the Kingdom of God. Jesus is urging a stance of vigilance and spiritual alertness. We are called to be people who watch, not with anxiety, but with informed anticipation. For the believer, the unfolding of world events, even those that seem chaotic, are not random acts but milestones in God’s saving plan. The key takeaway is the absolute certainty of His promise: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” This affirmation anchors our hope in the eternal, unshakeable truth of Christ’s word, making our faith immune to the fluctuations of the world.
Jesus invites us to see life through the lens of certainty. While everything earthly is temporary, the world’s powers, systems, and structures, God’s promises are everlasting. The parable is a gentle but firm reminder that our ultimate focus shouldn’t be on the transient events themselves, but on the imminent and glorious culmination they point to: the Kingdom of God. Our response to the “signs” should be one of confident recognition, not paralyzing fear. This calls us to a daily commitment to living in readiness not knowing the exact hour, but living with the assurance that the Lord’s word is the only thing that truly endures.
In the First Reading, the prophet Daniel is given a powerful, vivid apocalyptic vision of four terrifying beasts emerging from the great sea, symbolizing four great earthly empires or kingdoms that will rise, dominate, and eventually fall. They represent the immense, often brutal, power structures of the world. Yet, the focus quickly shifts from the temporary reign of the beasts to the eternal reign of God, the “Ancient One” whose throne is flames of fire. The climax of the vision is the coming of “One like a son of man” on the clouds of heaven. This figure is presented before the Ancient One and is granted “dominion, glory, and kingship” that is everlasting and shall never be destroyed. This passage serves as a dramatic and comforting counterpoint to the world’s chaos. Though earthly powers may be “terrifying, horrible, and of extraordinary strength,” their dominion is limited and temporary. The vision reveals that a divine court will be convened, their power taken away, and their reign brought to an end. The ultimate destiny of creation is not to be ruled by the beasts of the sea, but by the Son of Man, a figure who is both human and divine, symbolizing Christ’s eternal kingship. Daniel’s vision calls us to place our hope not in any earthly kingdom or leader, but in the Son of Man, whose dominion is the only one that lasts forever. The great empires are destined to pass away, but the Kingdom of Christ endures.
Reflecting on the Responsorial Psalm, the Psalm, an extension of the beautiful hymn from the Book of Daniel, continues the majestic litany of creation praising God. It calls upon “Mountains and hills,” “Everything growing from the earth,” “springs,” “Seas and rivers,” and even “dolphins and all water creatures” to bless the Lord. This cosmic hymn reminds us of the universal sovereignty of God. Everything in existence, from the highest mountains to the smallest creature, is called to participate in the act of praise and exaltation. This constant call to praise anchors our perspective. Amidst the terrifying visions of Daniel and the signs of upheaval in the Gospel, the Psalm restores our spiritual balance. It teaches us that praise is the proper response to the God whose word will not pass away and whose kingdom is everlasting. When we join our voices with creation, we step out of the fear of temporary trials and into the stable, eternal reality of God’s glory.
As we reflect and meditate on the words of the Sacred Scriptures today, we are invited into deep self-examination, Do I allow my anxieties to consume me, or do I consistently lift my eyes to the eternal promises of Christ, knowing that His words will not pass away? Where have I placed my hope, in the temporary security of human systems (the “beasts”), or in the eternal, unshakeable Kingdom of the Son of Man? Am I truly vigilant and awake to the signs of God’s redemptive work unfolding in my life and in the world? Do I allow the fear of the unknown to silence my spiritual life, or do I join all creation in offering God glory and eternal praise even amidst uncertainty? Beloved in Christ, the Scriptures call us to a magnificent vision: a world where fleeting power gives way to eternal kingship, and chaos signals the nearness of God’s Kingdom. Let us not be distracted by the passing things, but anchor our souls to the certain, everlasting Word of Christ. Let us live in a state of hopeful watchfulness and continuous praise, knowing that our King is coming and His dominion has no end. 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 Christ, Son of Man and Eternal King, help us to be spiritually awake, recognizing the signs of Your nearness with confidence, not fear. When the world seems terrifying and unstable, ground our hope in the truth that Your words will never pass away. Grant us the grace to live faithfully and vigilantly, joining all creation in giving You glory and eternal praise. May Your coming in power and glory be the steadfast focus of our lives. Amen. 🙏🏽
MEMORIAL OF SAINT CATHERINE LABOURÉ, VIRGIN AND VISIONARY; AND SAINT JAMES OF THE MARCH, PRIEST – FEAST DAY: NOVEMBER 28TH: Today, the Church joyfully commemorates the Memorial of Saint Catherine Labouré, Virgin and Visionary (Patron of the Miraculous Medal and Devotion to Mary); and Saint James of the March, Priest (Patron of Preachers, Missionaries, and the Poor). Both saints bore witness to God’s love and mercy through humility, obedience, and apostolic zeal. As we honor them today, may their intercession inspire us to grow in holiness, faith, and charity, and to serve God faithfully in every circumstance. 🙏🏾
Saints of the Day with Daily Reflections | November 28th https://dailyreflectionswithphilomena.com
(Direct link to the detailed history of Saint Catherine Labouré, and Saint James of the March | https://dailyreflectionswithphilomena.com/saints-of-the-day-feast-day-november-28th/)
SAINT CATHERINE LABOURÉ, VIRGIN AND VISIONARY: Saint Catherine Labouré (1806–1876) was a Daughter of Charity in Paris, France, chosen by the Blessed Virgin Mary to receive the vision of the Miraculous Medal. Born on May 2, 1806, in Burgundy, France, Catherine was the ninth of eleven children in a devout farming family. After the death of her mother, Catherine assumed the responsibilities of her household, showing early signs of care, humility, and devotion. At age 22, she entered the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul. In 1830, while still a novice, she experienced a series of Marian apparitions, in which Mary entrusted her with the mission to spread devotion to the medal of the Immaculate Conception. Though initially hesitant and unknown even to her sisters, Catherine’s obedience led to the production of thousands of medals, which quickly became a source of grace for countless faithful.
Catherine spent most of her life in quiet service as a portress and caregiver, ministering to the sick and needy with humility and dedication. She died on December 31, 1876, and her incorrupt body was later enshrined in Paris. She was canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1947, and her feast is celebrated on November 28.
QUOTE OF SAINT CATHERINE LABOURÉ: “When I go to the Chapel I place myself before the good God and I say to Him: ‘Lord, here I am, give me what You will.’ If He gives me something, I am very pleased and I thank Him. If He gives me nothing, I still thank Him because I do not deserve anything. And then again, I tell Him all that passes through my mind; I recount my pains and my joys and … I listen. If you listen to Him, He will speak to you also, because with the good God it is necessary to speak and to listen.”
PRAYER: O God, through the intercession of Saint Catherine Labouré, grant us the grace to follow Mary’s guidance, to trust in Your providence, and to serve the sick, poor, and needy with humility and love. May her devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary inspire us to seek Your will in all things. Amen. 🙏🏾
SAINT JAMES OF THE MARCH, PRIEST: Saint James of the March (1391–1476) was a Franciscan priest renowned for his preaching, missionary zeal, and tireless service to the poor. Born James Gangala in Monteprandone, Italy, he received his education under his priest uncle and later at the University of Perugia, earning degrees in Canon and Civil Law. James joined the Order of Friars Minor in 1416 and studied theology under Saint Bernardine of Siena. Throughout his life, he preached throughout Italy and Europe, converting thousands, combating heresies, and guiding the faithful. He was noted for his extraordinary humility, rigorous penances, and unceasing prayer, often traveling extensively as a papal legate and missionary.
Among his notable works, St. James helped reconcile moderate Hussites, founded pawnshops to aid the poor, and converted countless sinners and heretics through his sermons, including thirty-six women of ill repute in Milan with a single homily. He declined episcopal office, remaining devoted to the Franciscan mission until his death on November 28, 1476, in Naples, where his body is still venerated. He was beatified by Urban VIII in 1624 and canonized by Pope Benedict XIII in 1726.
PRAYER: O God, who raised Saint James to proclaim the Gospel and convert souls to holiness, grant that through his intercession we may remain steadfast in faith, live in humility, and serve the poor and needy with joy. Amen. 🙏🏾

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.” 🙏🏽
https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?recnum=12540
PRAYER INTENTIONS: Today, we lift our hearts in prayer, inspired by the unwavering faith of Saint Catherine Labouré and the zealous missionary spirit of Saint James of the March. We pray for the Church, that we may remain vigilant and steadfast, trusting in the eternal promises of Christ, whose words will never pass away. We pray for leaders and rulers, that they act with justice and humility, recognizing the temporary nature of earthly power. We ask God’s mercy for the sick, the poor, the marginalized, and all who suffer in body, mind, or spirit, especially the terminally ill and children in need, that they may find comfort and healing. We pray for the souls in Purgatory and the faithful departed, entrusting them to God’s eternal peace. May the example of Saint Catherine, who humbly carried out God’s will in silence and service, and Saint James, whose life was dedicated to preaching, conversion, and care for the poor, inspire us to live lives of holiness, charity, and steadfast hope in God’s Kingdom.
LET US PRAY:
My Eternal Word, You are unchanging and eternal. You are the rock foundation upon which I must always rely. As I continue to experience the many changes encountered in this life, please enter my soul through Your written Word, so that I will find the stability I need. As I stand firm in You, I look forward with joy to the New Heavens and New Earth that await. Jesus, I trust in You. Amen 🙏🏽
Lord Jesus Christ, Eternal King, You have promised that heaven and earth will pass away, but Your Word will never fail. Strengthen our faith so that we may remain vigilant and steadfast, recognizing Your presence and action in our lives. Through the intercession of Saint Catherine Labouré and Saint James of the March, grant us the grace to serve You humbly and zealously, bringing hope, mercy, and justice to a world in need. May we place our trust not in fleeting powers or worldly security, but in Your everlasting Kingdom, offering You praise and devotion all the days of our lives. Amen. 🙏🏽
Save Us, Savior of the World. Our Blessed Mother Mary, Saint Catherine Labouré, and Saint James of the March ~ 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 Friday 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 Friday, a relaxing weekend and a peaceful continuation of the month of November. 🙏🏽
Blessings and Love always, Philomena 💖
