Greetings and blessings, beloved family!
Today, Wednesday of the Thirty-second Week in Ordinary Time, the Church celebrates the Memorial of Saint Josaphat, Bishop and Martyr, and Saint Martin I, Pope and Martyr. These holy men bore courageous witness to the truth of Christ and the unity of His Church, even at the cost of their lives. Saint Josaphat labored tirelessly to bring about reconciliation between divided Christians, while Saint Martin I defended the true faith against heresy with unflinching resolve. Their fidelity reminds us that Christian unity and truth often demand sacrifice, humility, and unwavering trust in God’s providence. As we honor their memory today, we pray for the gift of peace, unity among believers, and courage to stand firm in faith amid trials. 🙏🏾
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 October. 🙏🏽

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.
What Happens in Purgatory?: When we die, we undergo what is called the particular, or individual, judgment. Scripture says that “it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment” (Heb. 9:27). We are judged instantly and receive our reward, for good or ill. We know at once what our final destiny will be. At the end of time, when Jesus returns, there will come the general judgment to which the Bible refers, for example, in Matthew 25:31-32: “When the Son of man comes in His glory, and all the angels with him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. Before Him will be gathered all the nations, and He will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. In this general judgment all our sins will be publicly revealed (Luke 12:2–5).
November is a month when we remember our dead in a special way. It is a month when we are prone to reflecting on death, not in a morbid way but in the hopeful way that is rooted in our faith. On this special Feast day, as we continue to remember the faithful departed, please let us remember to pray for the Poor Souls in Purgatory this month of November and always. Through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary and all the Saints, we humbly pray for the souls of our faithful departed loved ones, for the souls in Purgatory and the repose of the souls of all the faithful departed.🙏🏽

SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS:
Bible Readings for today’s Holy Mass, Wednesday of the Thirty-second Week in Ordinary Time | USCCB | https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading
Today’s Bible Readings: Memorial of Saint Josaphat, Bishop and Martyr | Wednesday, November 12, 2025
Reading 1: Wisdom 6:1–11
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 82:3–4, 6–7
Gospel: Luke 17:11–19
Gospel Reading ~ Luke 17:11–19
“Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?”
“As Jesus continued His journey to Jerusalem, He traveled through Samaria and Galilee. As He was entering a village, ten lepers met Him. They stood at a distance from Him and raised their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!” And when He saw them, He said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” As they were going they were cleansed. And one of them, realizing He had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and He fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked Him. He was a Samaritan. Jesus said in reply, “Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” Then He said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.”
In today’s Gospel, Jesus reveals the power of gratitude and the importance of recognizing God as the source of every blessing. In the Gospel, ten lepers approached Jesus crying out to Him, ‘Jesus, Master!’ Take pity on us’. Jesus responded to their desperate plight and healed them of their leprosy. However, only one, a Samaritan, came back to praise God and to thank Jesus. The unexpected gift of good health distracted the other nine so that they forgot about Jesus and failed in the normal human courtesy of returning to thank Him for their cure. Only one of the ten, a Samaritan, turned towards God present in Jesus in sickness and in health; the other nine turned towards Him only in sickness and forgot about Him in health. Sometimes God’s greatest gifts to us can separate us from God. We can be so focused on the gift that we forget the source of the gift. It is only to the Samaritan that Jesus says, ‘Your faith has saved you’.
The healing of the ten lepers shows both divine mercy and human response. While all ten received the gift of physical health, the Samaritan alone received something greater, the gift of salvation, spiritual renewal through faith and thanksgiving. The gift received is the fruit of faith, a relationship with God that is alive and vital in health as well as in sickness. It is the outsider, the despised Samaritan, who teaches us the importance of valuing God at all times in and through all His gifts. The Samaritan’s return shows that gratitude completes the miracle; it transforms healing into worship. Jesus longs for hearts that remember, that turn back in love to give thanks for what they have received.
Many times, we may resemble the nine lepers, quick to cry out in need but slow to return in gratitude once our prayers are answered. The Lord’s question still echoes today: “Where are the other nine?” Gratitude is not simply a polite gesture; it is the foundation of a life lived in awareness of God’s constant goodness. A thankful heart recognizes that every breath, every opportunity, and every act of mercy is a gift from God. Faith deepens when we acknowledge the Giver more than the gift. The ten lepers obeyed Jesus’ command, but only one went beyond obedience into relationship. Gratitude drew him closer to Christ, reminding us that thanksgiving opens the way to deeper faith and intimacy with God. The Samaritan’s healing was more than physical; his thanksgiving became his salvation. True gratitude transforms our hearts, heals our memories, and renews our trust in God’s providence.
In the First Reading, from the Book of Wisdom, God’s word challenges those who hold power and authority to rule justly and walk in righteousness. It reminds leaders that their authority is a sacred trust from God and that they will be judged by how faithfully they serve others. “Because authority was given you by the Lord,” the passage says, “and sovereignty by the Most High.” This is a call not only to rulers but to all who have influence, to act with integrity, fairness, and mercy. God shows no partiality; He holds the great and small alike accountable. True wisdom lies in humility before the Lord and faithfulness in carrying out one’s responsibilities.
The Responsorial Psalm echoes this message of justice and compassion: “Defend the lowly and the fatherless; render justice to the afflicted and the destitute.” God’s heart is always with the poor, the forgotten, and the oppressed. The psalm reminds us that our worship of God must be reflected in our care for others, especially those who suffer. Gratitude and justice are intertwined, when we truly thank God for His mercy, we are moved to show mercy ourselves.
As we reflect on the words of the Sacred Scriptures today, we are invited to look closely at our hearts. Do we remember to thank God not only for the extraordinary blessings but also for the daily gifts we take for granted, health, faith, peace, and even trials that draw us closer to Him? Do we use the authority, influence, or resources God has given us to uplift others, or do we forget the Source from whom all blessings flow? Like the Samaritan leper, may we learn to pause, return, and give glory to God in all circumstances. Let us strive to live as grateful servants, faithful in our duties, compassionate in our dealings, and joyful in our thanksgiving. Gratitude transforms ordinary moments into sacred encounters, and faith expressed in thanksgiving opens the door to salvation. May God in His infinite grace and mercy, grant us His grace and hearts that remember His goodness always, tongues that praise Him continually, and lives that reflect His love in every act of service. 🙏🏽
Lord Jesus, You are the Giver of every good gift. Thank You for the countless blessings You pour into my life each day, seen and unseen. Forgive me for the times I have forgotten to return in gratitude or failed to recognize Your hand in my blessings. Teach me to be like the thankful Samaritan, whose faith grew through thanksgiving. Grant me a humble heart that rejoices in Your mercy, a just spirit that seeks to serve others, and a grateful soul that never ceases to glorify You. May my gratitude draw me ever closer to You, now and forever. Amen. 🙏🏽
MEMORIAL OF SAINT JOSAPHAT, BISHOP AND MARTYR; AND SAINT MARTIN I, POPE AND MARTYR – FEAST DAY: NOVEMBER 12TH: Today, the Church honors two courageous witnesses of faith and unity, Saint Josaphat, Bishop and Martyr (Patron of Ukraine and Christian Unity), and Saint Martin I, Pope and Martyr (Defender of Christ’s Two Natures and Wills). Both men, though separated by centuries and circumstances, bore fearless testimony to Christ’s truth and the authority of His Church, even unto death. Their lives call us to perseverance in defending the faith with charity, to work for unity within the Body of Christ, and to remain steadfast in truth despite trials. May their intercession strengthen all Christians striving for peace, fidelity, and unity in the Church. 🙏🏾
Saints of the Day with Daily Reflections | November 12th https://dailyreflectionswithphilomena.com
(Direct link to the detailed history of Saint Josaphat, and Saint Martin I | https://dailyreflectionswithphilomena.com/saints-of-the-day-feast-day-november-12th/ )
SAINT JOSAPHAT, BISHOP AND MARTYR: Saint Josaphat Kuncewicz (1580–1623) was born in Vladimir, Volhynia (modern-day Ukraine), to a devout Ruthenian family of the Eastern Orthodox faith. From a young age, he was deeply moved by the sufferings of Christ and developed a profound devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, pledging his life to purity and prayer. Drawn to monastic life, he joined the Order of Saint Basil in 1604 and was ordained in the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in 1609, living a life marked by austerity, humility, and deep holiness. As Archimandrite of Vilna and later Archbishop of Polotsk, Josaphat labored tirelessly to heal the divisions between the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Churches following the Union of Brest (1596), which brought the Ruthenian Church into communion with Rome. He sought not to impose Latin practices but to preserve Eastern liturgical traditions while affirming unity with the Holy See. His balanced yet firm defense of unity drew opposition from both sides.
During a violent uprising in Vitebsk, he courageously confronted an enraged mob, pleading for peace. When they attacked, he cried out, “My children, what are you doing? If you have something against me, here I am.” He was brutally martyred in 1623 at the age of 43. His body, thrown into the river, was later recovered miraculously intact. His death led to conversions, reconciliation, and renewed efforts toward Christian unity. Canonized in 1867, Saint Josaphat became the first Eastern-rite saint canonized by Rome and remains a patron of unity among Christians and patron of Ukraine.
PRAYER: O God, who brought Saint Josaphat to serve Your Church by the shedding of his blood, grant that the Spirit which filled him may also animate us, that we may love our brothers and sisters and seek the unity of all who believe in You. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🙏🏾
SAINT MARTIN I, POPE AND MARTYR: Saint Martin I (c. 590–655) was born in Todi, Italy, and distinguished himself by his learning, holiness, and courage. Elected Pope in 649, he immediately faced the growing heresy of Monothelitism, which falsely taught that Christ had only one will instead of both human and divine. Refusing to compromise the truth of Christ’s full humanity and divinity, Pope Martin convened a Lateran Council in 649, which condemned the heresy and clearly affirmed the orthodox teaching of the two wills of Christ united in one divine person. His fidelity to the faith provoked the wrath of Emperor Constans II, who supported the heretics. The emperor’s agents attempted to assassinate him, but their plans failed when the would-be killer was struck blind. Undeterred, Constans sent soldiers to arrest the Pope, who was taken from Rome in chains and brought to Constantinople. There, Martin endured humiliation, imprisonment, and harsh treatment, stripped of his vestments and publicly ridiculed.
Eventually exiled to Cherson in the Crimea, the holy pontiff suffered extreme deprivation and illness but never wavered in his faith. He died a martyr in exile on September 16, 655, forgiving his persecutors and entrusting his soul to God. His writings reveal his deep serenity and trust even amid unimaginable suffering. Pope Saint Martin I is honored as a champion of doctrinal truth and a model of courage under persecution.
PRAYER: Lord God, You strengthened Saint Martin I with steadfast courage to uphold the truth of Christ’s divinity and humanity. Through his intercession, grant that we may confess our faith boldly, defend Your truth without fear, and remain faithful even in suffering. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🙏🏾
Our Blessed Mother Mary, Saint Josaphat, and Saint Martin I — Pray for us. 🙏🏾

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 today’s readings and the heroic faith of Saints Josaphat and Martin I, let us pray for a spirit of gratitude, humility, and unity in the Church. May those who lead, both in civil authority and in the Church, govern with wisdom, justice, and integrity of heart, seeking always the common good. We pray for the healing of divisions among Christians, that the desire for unity, for which Saint Josaphat gave his life, may flourish anew in our time. We remember the people of Ukraine and all who suffer because of war, persecution, or injustice, asking for peace and steadfast faith. May the courage of Saint Martin I inspire all who defend the truth of Christ to persevere amid trials. For the sick, the lonely, and the oppressed, may the mercy of Christ restore them. And for ourselves, may we, like the one grateful leper in today’s Gospel, return to the Lord daily in thanksgiving for His saving love. 🙏🏾
LET US PRAY:
My gracious Lord, You bestow Your mercy upon me in superabundance. Without You, Jesus, I have nothing; but with You, I receive everything. May I always know and understand my need for Your grace. And as I am gifted with it, may I respond with the deepest gratitude, thus, saving my soul through faith. Jesus, I trust in You. Amen 🙏🏽
Almighty and Eternal God, You filled Saints Josaphat and Martin I with unwavering faith and zeal for the unity and truth of Your Church. Grant that through their intercession, we may live as true witnesses of Your mercy, working always for reconciliation, peace, and fidelity to Your Word. Strengthen our hearts to remain grateful in all things and courageous in every trial. May Your Spirit of wisdom guide the leaders of nations and the shepherds of Your people, that justice and truth may reign upon the earth. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen 🙏🏾
Save Us, Savior of the World. Our Blessed Mother Mary, Saint Josaphat, and Saint Martin I ~ 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 Wednesday of the Thirty-second 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! Have a blessed, safe, grace-filled, and fruitful Wednesday, and a peaceful continuation of the month of November. 🙏🏽
Blessings and Love always, Philomena 💖
