Greetings and blessings, beloved family. Happy Monday Second week of Easter!
We continue to celebrate and rejoice in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. May God’s grace and mercy be with us all during this Easter season and always 🙏🏽
PRAYER FOR THE SOUL OF POPE FRANCIS AND SUCESS OF THE CONCLAVE
With the passing of Pope Francis, let us continue to pray for the eternal repose of his soul and for the College of Cardinals as they embark on their sacred duty to elect Pope Francis’ successor:
Heavenly Father, You entrusted the care of Your Church on earth to Pope Francis, and now You have called him to Yourself. We entrust his soul to Your boundless mercy. For his lifelong service, we thank You. For his care for the poor and marginalized, we thank You. For his witness to simplicity, we thank You. In Your mercy, cleanse him of all sin. Purify him and draw him into the light of Your presence. Grant him the vision of Your Eternal Essence, into which we all long to be drawn. Protect Your Church in this time of transition. Guide the Cardinals in their sacred duty. Grant them Wisdom and Courage, Hope and Charity, and the Faith they need to discern Your Holy Will.
Father Most Holy, our God and King, Creator of all that was, is, and is to come – You alone know the heart of the one You have chosen as the successor to Pope Francis. Reveal Your will to the College of Cardinals. Open their hearts to Your inspirations. Open our hearts to receive, with faith and obedience, the one whom You will raise up to sit on the Chair of Saint Peter. May he be a man of deepest compassion, a man of profound faith and hope, a man whose charity shines forth, permeating the darkness of this world with the light of Christ. You are God Most High, the God of the living and the dead, the Great I AM, the Alpha and the Omega, Eternal Being and Source of all that is. May Your holy will be done, now and forever. Amen. Alleluia.
Merciful and loving God, We entrust to You our beloved Holy Father, Pope Francis. May he rest in the light of Your presence, where suffering and sorrow are no more, and every tear is wiped away. Comfort all who mourn his passing and raise up shepherds who will continue to guide Your Church in humility and love.
Eternal rest grant unto Pope Francis, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him. May his gentle soul and souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in perfect peace with our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen 🙏🏽
On this special feast day, as we continue to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, with special intention through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary, and the Saints, particularly Saint Joseph, Patron of the sick and dying, we pray for the sick and dying and all those who mourn the loss of their loved ones. We pray for our loved ones who have recently died, especially for our Holy Father, POPE FRANCIS, all those who died today, and all the faithful departed may the Lord receive them into the light of Eternal Kingdom. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their gentle souls and souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in perfect peace with our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen 🙏🏽 ✝️🕯✝️🕯✝️🕯
“Blessed are those who have died in the Lord; let them rest from their labors for their good deeds go with them.” ~ Rev 14:13
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 🙏🏽
Today, as we continue to rejoice in the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we joyfully celebrate the Memorial of Saint Louis-Marie Grignon de Montfort (Patron of Preachers and Devotees of Mary), Saint Peter Chanel (Patron of Oceania), and Saint Gianna Beretta Molla (Patron of Mothers, Physicians, and Unborn Children). Through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother Mary and these holy saints, we humbly pray for expectant mothers and the unborn, for healthcare professionals, for families and marriages, and for all who are grieving or lonely. We also pray for the souls in Purgatory, for the renewal of the Church, for our Holy Father Pope Francis, for holy vocations, for persecuted Christians, and for the conversion of sinners throughout the world. 🙏🏽

PRAYER OF THE MONTH ~ POPE FRANCIS: Lord, Good Father, as I look at the world and see men and women working in it and beautifying it, a great “Thank You!” springs from my heart. The action of Your Spirit among us encourages us to grow in the progress of science and technology in the service of human dignity for integral and inclusive human development.

Amen 🙏🏽

SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS:
Bible Readings for today’s Holy Mass, Second Monday of Easter | USCCB | https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading
Today’s Bible Readings: Monday of the Second Week of Easter | April 28, 2025
Reading 1, Acts 4:23-31
Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 2:1-3, 4-6, 7-9
Gospel, John 3:1-8
Gospel Reading ~ John 3:1–8
“Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the Kingdom of God”
In today’s Gospel, we encounter Nicodemus, a Pharisee and a leader among the Jews, who approaches Jesus under the cover of night, seeking answers. Despite his high status and knowledge of the Law, Nicodemus senses that Jesus holds a truth that surpasses earthly wisdom. Jesus speaks to him of a profound mystery: the necessity of being “born from above” a rebirth not of flesh, but of water and the Spirit. Nicodemus struggles to grasp this teaching, questioning how a grown man can be born again. Jesus gently but firmly invites him into a new understanding: entry into the Kingdom of God requires a spiritual rebirth, a transformation that the human mind alone cannot fully comprehend. Like the wind that moves freely, unseen yet powerful, the Spirit moves in the hearts of believers, bringing new life. This passage reminds us that faith is not merely an intellectual agreement, but a surrender to the transforming work of the Spirit. We are invited to let go of our earthly securities and be made new by God’s grace, trusting in the mysterious and life-giving movement of His Spirit.
Reflecting further on today’s Gospel, Nicodemus represents each of us on our journey of faith. We often come to Jesus with our questions, our hesitations, and our limited understanding. Yet Jesus meets us where we are and calls us deeper. The rebirth He speaks of is the renewal offered through Baptism and the ongoing conversion of heart that the Spirit brings about daily. We cannot orchestrate this transformation ourselves; it is the work of God within us. The Spirit’s movement in our lives may be subtle or sudden, but it always leads to greater freedom, deeper love, and fuller life in Christ. We are invited today to listen for the “wind” of the Spirit and to open our hearts anew to His sanctifying grace.
In our first reading today, we witness the early Christian community gathered in fervent prayer after Peter and John are released by the authorities. They do not pray for safety or ease, but for boldness to continue proclaiming the Word of God. Their prayer acknowledges God’s sovereignty over all creation and history, recognizing that even the opposition they face falls within God’s providence. In response to their prayer, the place where they are gathered shakes, and they are all filled with the Holy Spirit, emboldened anew to speak the Word of God. This powerful scene shows that courage and mission spring from prayer and trust in God’s power. Rather than being paralyzed by fear, the disciples lean into their calling, empowered by the Spirit. It is a reminder for us that in moments of trial or intimidation, our strength is found not in retreat but in bold, Spirit-filled witness.
Reflecting on our first reading, we see the courage of the early Church rooted deeply in their relationship with God and their reliance on the Holy Spirit. Instead of focusing on the threats of their enemies, they fixed their eyes on the Lord, confident that He who made heaven and earth would also sustain and defend them. Their prayerful dependence unlocked a deeper outpouring of the Holy Spirit, equipping them to proclaim Christ fearlessly. In our own lives, we, too, are called to pray for boldness not necessarily to avoid challenges, but to meet them with faith, knowing that the Spirit is alive and at work within us.
Reflecting on the Responsorial Psalm, we are reminded that despite the nations raging and the kings conspiring against the Lord and His anointed, God remains sovereign. “Blessed are all who take refuge in the Lord.” The psalm assures us that human resistance cannot thwart God’s eternal plan. He has set His King on Zion, and His decree stands firm: “You are my Son; this day I have begotten you.” As believers, we take refuge not in worldly powers, but in the unshakable authority of God. Even when the world rages around us, we can find peace and strength under the shelter of His mighty hand.
Am I open to the transforming work of the Holy Spirit in my life, even when I do not fully understand it? How do I respond when God invites me to deeper trust and spiritual renewal? In times of fear or opposition, do I pray for boldness and the courage to proclaim my faith? Where in my life am I being called to lean into the Spirit’s movement rather than rely solely on my own strength? Today, let us courageously open our hearts to the Spirit’s renewing work. Like Nicodemus, may we approach Jesus with humility and desire to understand more deeply. Like the early Church, may we pray fervently and boldly, trusting that God’s Spirit will empower us to live as fearless witnesses of His love. The Spirit moves let us move with Him.
Come, Holy Spirit, breathe new life into my heart. Help me to be born anew each day through Your grace, letting go of fear and trusting in Your invisible but powerful presence. Give me boldness to witness to Christ, courage in the face of challenges, and a heart that always seeks refuge in You. Strengthen me, Lord, and renew me according to Your will, that I may live as a faithful child of God. Amen. 🙏🏽
MEMORIAL OF SAINT LOUIS-MARIE GRIGNON DE MONTFORT, PRIEST; SAINT PETER CHANEL, PRIEST AND MARTYR AND SAINT GIANNA BERETTA MOLLA ~ FEAST DAY: APRIL 28TH: Today, as we continue to rejoice in the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we joyfully celebrate the Memorial of Saint Louis-Marie Grignon de Montfort (Patron of Preachers and Devotees of Mary), Saint Peter Chanel (Patron of Oceania), and Saint Gianna Beretta Molla (Patron of Mothers, Physicians, and Unborn Children). Through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother Mary and these holy saints, we humbly pray for expectant mothers and the unborn, for healthcare professionals, for families and marriages, and for all who are grieving or lonely. We also pray for the souls in Purgatory, for the renewal of the Church, for our Holy Father Pope Francis, for holy vocations, for persecuted Christians, and for the conversion of sinners throughout the world. 🙏🏽
Saint(s) of the Day with Daily Reflections | April 28th | https://dailyreflectionswithphilomena.com/
(Direct link to the detailed history of Saint Louis-Marie Grignon de Montfort, Saint Peter Chanel, and Saint Gianna Beretta Molla | https://dailyreflectionswithphilomena.com/saints-of-the-day-feast-day-april-28th/ )
SAINT LOUIS-MARIE GRIGNON DE MONTFORT: Saint Louis-Marie Grignon de Montfort (1673–1716) was a French Roman Catholic priest, confessor, and renowned preacher. His profound devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Rosary became the cornerstone of his spirituality. Pope Clement XI appointed him as a missionary apostolic during his lifetime.
Born into a large farming family in Montfort, Brittany, Louis-Marie showed extraordinary spiritual maturity even as a child, often spending long hours in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. His love for the poor emerged early, as he ministered to the sick and destitute while still a student.
At 19, he walked over 130 miles to Paris to pursue theological studies, giving all his possessions to the poor along the way and living entirely on alms. Ordained at 27, he first served as a hospital chaplain but soon discerned his true vocation as an itinerant preacher. His dynamic preaching, fiery devotion, and emphasis on Marian spirituality converted countless souls, often gathering crowds of thousands.
Despite facing fierce opposition from the Jansenists—an influential heretical movement—he persevered, even surviving an attempt on his life. During a period of illness, he authored his masterpiece True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin, predicting that it would be hidden for a time, only to be rediscovered two centuries later.
Saint Louis-Marie founded two religious congregations: the Daughters of Divine Wisdom and the Company of Mary (Montfort Missionaries), dedicated to service and evangelization. His famous prayer of entrustment to Our Lady, “Totus Tuus ego sum” (“I am all yours”), inspired Pope Saint John Paul II to adopt “Totus Tuus” as his own episcopal motto.
Quotes of Saint Louis-Marie Grignon de Montfort:
“We never give more honour to Jesus than when we honour His Mother, and we honour her simply and solely to honour Him all the more perfectly.”
“The Rosary is the most powerful weapon to touch the Heart of Jesus, our Redeemer, who loves His Mother.”
PRAYER: O God, You guided the footsteps of Saint Louis-Marie in the way of salvation and the love of Christ, with the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Grant that, following his example, we may meditate on the mysteries of Your love and labor tirelessly to build up Your Church. Amen.🙏🏽
SAINT PETER CHANEL, PRIEST AND MARTYR: Saint Peter Chanel (1803–1841), known as the Protomartyr of Oceania, was born in Clet, France. As a young diocesan priest, he revitalized a struggling parish through his gentle and dedicated ministry. Drawn to missionary work, he joined the newly formed Society of Mary (Marists) and was eventually sent to the South Pacific.
After a long and perilous voyage, Peter arrived at the island of Futuna, where he worked tirelessly to bring the Gospel to the people. His kindness and compassion won hearts, even attracting the interest of the king’s son. Sadly, fearing the loss of his authority, the king ordered Peter’s martyrdom.
On April 28, 1841, Saint Peter was brutally attacked and killed by native warriors. His death, however, was not in vain within five months, the entire island converted to the Catholic faith. His martyrdom fulfilled the ancient Christian truth: “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of Christians.” Saint Peter Chanel was canonized in 1954 by Pope Pius XII and is honored today as the patron saint of Oceania.
PRAYER: O God, to spread Your Church, You crowned Saint Peter Chanel with martyrdom. Grant that in these paschal joys, we may so celebrate the mysteries of Christ’s Death and Resurrection as to become faithful witnesses of the new life. Amen.🙏🏽
SAINT GIANNA BERETTA MOLLA: Saint Gianna Beretta Molla (1922–1962) was an Italian physician, wife, and mother whose heroic witness to the sanctity of life continues to inspire the world. A woman of vibrant faith and deep joy, Gianna dedicated her life to serving others as a doctor, particularly mothers, children, the elderly, and the poor.
Raised in a devout Catholic family, Gianna saw life as a beautiful gift from God. She actively participated in Catholic Action and the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, integrating her faith into every aspect of her life. After earning degrees in medicine and surgery, she opened a clinic near her hometown and later specialized in pediatrics.
Gianna joyfully embraced her vocation to marriage, marrying Pietro Molla in 1955. Together they built a loving, truly Christian family, welcoming three children: Pierluigi, Mariolina, and Laura. Balancing her roles as wife, mother, and doctor with grace, she lived her vocation to its fullest.
During her fourth pregnancy, Gianna was diagnosed with a fibroma in her uterus. Faced with difficult medical decisions, she courageously chose to preserve the life of her unborn child, accepting the risk to her own life. She gave birth to her daughter Gianna Emanuela but died shortly after on April 28, 1962, at the age of 39.
Saint Gianna was canonized by Pope Saint John Paul II in 2004 and is widely revered as a patron saint of mothers, physicians, and the unborn.
PRAYER: O God, You called Saint Gianna Beretta Molla to serve You as a wife, mother, and doctor, and to offer her life in love for her unborn child. Grant us through her intercession the courage to embrace life’s challenges with faith, hope, and love, and to always defend the dignity of human life. Amen.🙏🏽
Our Blessed Mother Mary, Saint Joseph, Saint Louis-Marie Grignon de Montfort, Saint Peter Chanel, and Saint Gianna Beretta Molla ~ Pray for us. 🙏🏽
DEVOTION OF THE MONTH OF APRIL | MONTH OF HOLY EUCHARIST: April is dedicated to the Holy Eucharist, the greatest gift of Christ to His Church. In the Eucharist, Jesus is truly present Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity offering Himself as the Bread of Life. This month invites us to deepen our love and reverence for the Eucharist, especially as we approach Holy Week and Easter, celebrating the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of our Lord. The Eucharist was instituted by Jesus at the Last Supper when He said, “Take and eat; this is My Body… Drink from it, all of you, for this is My Blood of the Covenant” (Matthew 26:26-28). In receiving the Eucharist, we are united with Christ and His Church. It is the source of our strength and the culmination of our salvation, as Christ Himself said in John 6:51, “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever.” As we journey through Lent, we are called to renew our reverence for the Eucharist. During Holy Week, we remember that Christ instituted this sacrament on Holy Thursday, offering us a way to remain in union with Him. Let us take this opportunity to attend Mass regularly, spend time in Eucharistic adoration, and reflect on the mystery of Christ’s presence in the Blessed Sacrament.
In this season of penance and reflection, may our devotion to the Eucharist strengthen our commitment to living as true disciples of Christ, leading us to the joy of Easter and the Resurrection.
O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine! Lord Jesus, You have given Yourself to us in the Eucharist. May we receive You with reverence and love, and let Your grace transform us always. Amen 🙏🏽

PRAYER INTENTIONS: As we continue to celebrate the joy of the Resurrection during this Easter season, let us pray for a renewed outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Church and upon our hearts. Through the intercession of Saint Louis-Marie Grignon de Montfort, may we grow in true devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and become fearless proclaimers of the Gospel. Through the witness of Saint Peter Chanel, may missionaries and evangelists be strengthened in their labors, and may all peoples come to know Christ. Through the heroic example of Saint Gianna Beretta Molla, may expectant mothers, healthcare workers, and all who defend the dignity of life be guided and protected. We pray for all who are persecuted for their faith, asking for boldness and perseverance in the face of opposition, just as the Apostles prayed for courage in the early Church. May our homes, communities, and nations be renewed by the breath of the Spirit, that peace, unity, and holiness may flourish. Amen. 🙏🏽
LET US PRAY:
Lord of light and truth, You reveal Yourself to those who come to You with faith. Help me to follow the example of Nicodemus so that all confusion and darkness will be dispelled by the light of Your truth. Give me courage, dear Lord, to follow You and to set my heart on all that You reveal. Jesus, I trust in You. Amen 🙏🏽
Come, Holy Spirit, and fill my heart anew with the fire of Your love. Like the Apostles gathered in prayer, grant me the courage to speak Your Word with boldness. Deliver me from fear, selfishness, and doubt, and help me to walk as a true child of the Resurrection. Jesus, I trust in You. Amen. 🙏🏽
God of Power and Grace, You shook the earth with the prayer of Your first disciples, and You breathed new life into those born of water and the Spirit. Today, through the intercession of Saint Louis-Marie de Montfort, Saint Peter Chanel, and Saint Gianna Beretta Molla, strengthen our faith, deepen our devotion, and inspire our witness. Form us into living temples of Your Spirit, ready to proclaim Your Kingdom with joyful hearts. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🙏🏽
Save us, Savior of the world. Our Blessed Mother Mary, Saint Joseph, Saint Louis-Marie Grignon de Montfort, Saint Peter Chanel, and Saint Gianna Beretta Molla ~ Pray for us. 🙏🏽
Thanking God for the precious gift of this new day and the immeasurable love shown through His Son, our Risen Lord, Jesus Christ. As we continue to rejoice in the glory of the Resurrection, may our hearts remain open to the peace and hope that flow from His victory over sin and death. During this joyful Easter season, we pray that our loving Savior will deepen our faith and draw us closer to the mystery of His Passion, death, and Resurrection. May we walk in the light of His risen life, renewed in spirit and overflowing with grace. Praying for us all and our loved ones today and we pray for journey mercies for all those traveling during this Easter season. May this Monday be filled with blessings, safety, and the quiet joy that comes from knowing that Christ is truly risen! Alleluia! Have a blessed, safe and grace-filled Monday and week 🙏🏽
