PRAYER FOR VICTIMS OF NATURAL DISASTERS: We join our prayers to the prayers of others throughout the world, for the victims of natural disasters which have brought destruction and disaster to so many lives. We particularly pray for the victims of the recent Hurricane Melissa in the Caribbean, for the people of Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, and others who are facing the devastation caused by the hurricane. May God grant eternal rest to all those who lost their lives, restore what was lost, and console all those who are grieving, injured, or have lost loved ones. Amen 🙏🏽
Greetings and blessings, beloved family!
Today, Monday of the Thirty-First Week in Ordinary Time, we joyfully thank God for the gift of life and for leading us safely into the new 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 and Priests 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 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. 🙏🏽

SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS:
Bible Readings for today’s Holy Mass, Monday of the Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time | USCCB | https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading
Today’s Bible Readings: Monday of the Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time | November 3, 2025
Reading 1: Romans 11:29–36
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 69:30–31, 33–34, 36
Gospel: Luke 14:12–14
Gospel Reading ~ Luke 14:12–14
“Invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind.”
“On a sabbath Jesus went to dine at the home of one of the leading Pharisees. He said to the host who invited him, “When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or sisters or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, in case they may invite you back and you have repayment. Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus addresses Himself to a wealthy Pharisee who was His host at a meal. The Pharisees tended to eat only with their own kind. Jesus challenges His host to invite to his table those He would not normally invite, people beyond His circle. Jesus, in contrast to His host, shared table with all sorts of people, with the rich and the poor, with the educated and uneducated, with the religious and those considered sinners, with men and with women. His very broad table was a symbol of His whole ministry. He did not exclude anyone from His outreach. He wanted to reveal the year of the Lord’s favor to everyone, especially to those who would have considered themselves outside of God’s favor. By His whole way of life, including His style of eating, Jesus was revealing the broad hospitality of God. In contrast, the God whom the Pharisees revealed was a God who wanted to exclude more than include. The Gospel calls on all of us to reveal something of the hospitality of God by our whole way of life. We can all be tempted to exclude others, even whole groups of people. It is very easy to move purely within a circle of people whose outlook, attitudes and social class are like our own. We are all invited to keep widening our circle so that it reveals more and more of the expansive heart of God revealed for us in the life of Jesus.
Reflecting deeper on the Gospel, Jesus challenges our understanding of generosity and reward. His words cut to the heart of self-interest, urging us to give without expectation of return. True charity, He teaches, is not measured by what we receive but by how selflessly we love. The invitation to include “the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind” is a call to open our hearts and our tables to those who cannot repay us, to mirror the mercy of God, who gives freely to all. The reward He promises is not earthly recognition, but eternal joy: “You will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.” Every act of hidden kindness, every gesture of mercy, every time we love without conditions, these are treasures stored up in Heaven.
In the First Reading, St. Paul reminds us that “the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.” God’s mercy is not withdrawn, even in our disobedience. Both Jews and Gentiles are shown to be in need of mercy so that all may be saved by grace. Paul’s hymn of praise bursts forth from this truth: “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!” His reflection reminds us that God’s plan of salvation is beyond human reasoning, a mystery of mercy that includes everyone. No one is excluded from His redemptive love. In a world quick to judge and slow to forgive, we are invited to trust in God’s patient and inclusive mercy, which seeks to bring all His children home.
The Responsorial Psalm echoes the cry of those who trust in the Lord’s compassion: “Lord, in your great love, answer me.” The psalmist praises God amid suffering, confident that He hears the cry of the poor and never abandons His people. This prayer becomes a model for our own hearts, to praise God not only in prosperity but also in affliction, knowing that His saving help will never fail. Even when we are weary or wounded, the Lord’s love surrounds and restores us. His mercy rebuilds what sin destroys, just as He “will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah.”
As we reflect on the words of the Sacred Scriptures today, let us ask ourselves, Do I give only when I expect something in return? How do I respond to those who cannot repay me with gratitude or recognition? Do I trust in God’s mysterious plan even when I don’t understand His ways? Today’s readings draw us into a spirit of humble gratitude and mercy. God’s wisdom surpasses our understanding, yet His call is clear: love freely, give generously, and trust that no act of goodness is ever lost in His sight. To serve others, especially those in need, is to share in God’s own generous heart. Such love transforms us and prepares us for the “resurrection of the righteous,” when all who lived in mercy will find their joy complete in Him. 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. 🙏🏽
O God of boundless mercy and wisdom, You call us to love as You love, freely and without counting the cost. Open our hearts to the poor and forgotten, that we may serve them with compassion and joy. Teach us to trust in Your unsearchable wisdom and to praise You even in life’s mysteries. May our acts of kindness, done in secret, draw us closer to the reward You promise at the resurrection of the righteous. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🙏🏽
MEMORIAL OF SAINT MARTIN DE PORRES, RELIGIOUS; SAINT SYLVIA OF ROME; SAINT HUBERT, BISHOP; AND SAINT MALACHY D’ARMAGH, BISHOP – FEAST DAY: NOVEMBER 3RD: Today, the Church joyfully commemorates the Memorial of Saint Martin de Porres, Religious (Patron of Racial Harmony, Social Justice, and the Poor); Saint Sylvia of Rome (Patron of Pregnant Women and Christian Mothers); Saint Hubert, Bishop (Patron of Hunters and Dogs); and Saint Malachy d’Armagh, Bishop (Patron of the Irish Church and Reformers). Each of these holy servants of God radiated Christ’s mercy and zeal in unique ways—through humility, compassion, reform, and missionary witness. Their lives remind us that sanctity flourishes in every state of life: in the cloister, the family, the episcopal ministry, and the humble service of others. As we honor them today, may their intercession inspire us to grow in holiness, peace, and steadfast faith. 🙏🏾

(Direct link to the detailed history of Saint Martin de Porres, Saint Sylvia of Rome, Saint Hubert, and Saint Malachy d’Armagh | https://dailyreflectionswithphilomena.com/saints-of-the-day-feast-day-november-3rd/)
SAINT MARTIN DE PORRES, RELIGIOUS: Saint Martin de Porres Velázquez, O.P. (1579–1639), the “Saint of Charity,” was born in Lima, Peru, the humble son of a Spanish nobleman and a freedwoman of African descent. Rejected for the color of his skin, he grew up in poverty but never lost his faith or kindness. Trained as a barber-surgeon, Martin entered the Dominican convent at Lima as a lay brother—a rare privilege for men of mixed race at the time—and devoted his life to caring for the sick, feeding the poor, and reconciling enemies. His charity knew no bounds: he treated people and animals alike with tender mercy, often giving away his bed to the ill and finding miraculous ways to multiply food for the hungry. Endowed with gifts of healing, prophecy, and even bilocation, Saint Martin lived in constant prayer and penance, seeking only to love as Christ loved. His humility and faith transformed the hearts of all who knew him. He was canonized by Pope Saint John XXIII in 1962 and named Patron of social and interracial justice, public health, and all who work for peace.
PRAYER: O God, who led Saint Martin along the path of humility and charity to heavenly glory, grant that we may imitate his holiness in serving the poor and the suffering. Through his intercession, may we bring Your love and mercy to all. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🙏🏾
SAINT SYLVIA OF ROME: Saint Sylvia (Silvia) of Rome (c. 515–c. 592) was the devout mother of Saint Gregory the Great, one of the Church’s most beloved popes. Born into a noble Sicilian family, she married Gordianus, a Roman official, and together they raised their sons in faith and virtue. After her husband’s death, Sylvia embraced a life of prayer and simplicity near the Church of Saint Saba on the Aventine Hill. Her maternal care and deep spirituality influenced her son Gregory, who often credited his parents’ holiness for his vocation. Saint Sylvia’s example of Christian motherhood, generosity, and quiet strength remains a model for all who nurture faith within the family. She is invoked especially by pregnant women and mothers seeking God’s grace for their families.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, You filled Saint Sylvia with faith, love, and gentleness as a mother and servant of Your will. Through her intercession, bless all mothers and expectant women with courage, peace, and joy. May her example guide Christian families in holiness and devotion. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🙏🏾
SAINT HUBERT, BISHOP: Saint Hubert of Liège (c. 656–727), known as the Apostle of the Ardennes, was a nobleman, avid hunter, and courtier who turned to God after a miraculous vision during a hunt. Tradition tells that while pursuing a stag, he saw a radiant crucifix appear between the animal’s antlers, and a voice called him to conversion. Deeply moved, Hubert renounced worldly life, entered the priesthood, and was later consecrated bishop of Liège. As bishop, he preached the Gospel throughout Belgium and the Ardennes, bringing countless souls to Christ. He was known for his zeal, generosity to the poor, and pastoral care for his flock. Over time, devotion to Saint Hubert spread widely, and he became the patron of hunters, dogs, forest workers, and those suffering from rabies.
PRAYER: O Lord, You called Saint Hubert from a life of pleasure to a life of service and faith. Through his intercession, teach us to seek You above all earthly pursuits and to care for creation with gratitude and reverence. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🙏🏾
SAINT MALACHY D’ARMAGH, BISHOP: Saint Malachy d’Armagh (1094–1148), Archbishop and Primate of Ireland, was one of the most remarkable reformers of the medieval Irish Church. A man of prayer, learning, and vision, he worked tirelessly to restore discipline among clergy, revive the sacraments, and bring Irish Christianity into closer unity with Rome. A close friend of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, who wrote his biography, Malachy is remembered for his miracles, humility, and the peace he brought to divided communities. On his way to Rome, he died at Clairvaux in the arms of Saint Bernard, who called him “a living rule and a shining example of holiness.” Saint Malachy was canonized in 1199, becoming the first native-born Irish saint formally canonized by the Church.
PRAYER: O God, who raised Saint Malachy to shepherd Your Church in Ireland with wisdom and holiness, grant that through his intercession we may be renewed in faith and unity. Strengthen all pastors and leaders to guide Your people with courage and love. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🙏🏾
Our Blessed Mother Mary, Saint Martin de Porres, Saint Sylvia of Rome, Saint Hubert, and Saint Malachy d’Armagh ~ 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 journey through this new week of Ordinary Time and celebrate the holy lives of Saints Martin de Porres, Sylvia of Rome, Hubert, and Malachy d’Armagh, we lift our hearts in gratitude for God’s unchanging mercy and the richness of His wisdom that surpasses all understanding. May we, like these faithful servants, use our gifts to serve humbly, to love generously, and to welcome those who cannot repay us, as the Gospel teaches. We pray for all who labor quietly for justice and peace, for mothers and families seeking God’s grace, for those who care for the poor and the sick, and for pastors and leaders who guide the Church with compassion. May the Lord grant comfort to the afflicted, strength to the weary, and mercy to the souls of the departed.
LET US PRAY:
Most glorious God, You came to earth to suffer and die. In that act of perfect love You brought about the greatest good ever known. You offered this holy service of love in the most hidden and humble of ways. As a result, You are now glorified forever. Help me to share in Your acts of humble and hidden service so that I, too, may one day share in the glory of Heaven. Jesus, I trust in You. Amen 🙏🏽
Loving Father, You are the source of all wisdom and the giver of every good gift. Through the intercession of Saints Martin, Sylvia, Hubert, and Malachy, renew in us the grace to serve with humility and to love without measure. Help us to recognize Your image in the least of our brothers and sisters and to seek heavenly reward above worldly gain. May Your Spirit fill us with compassion, strengthen our faith, and lead us always to glorify Your name in word and deed. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🙏🏽
Save Us, Savior of the World. Our Blessed Mother Mary, Saint Martin de Porres, Saint Sylvia of Rome, Saint Hubert, and Saint Malachy d’Armagh ~ 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 Monday of the Thirty-First 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 Monday, and a peaceful continuation of the month of November. 🙏🏽
Blessings and Love always, Philomena 💖
