Pope Francis has called for a day of prayer and fasting for peace in the world today. He says, “In this dramatic hour of our history, while the winds of war and the fires of violence continue to devastate entire peoples and nations,” the Christian community is reminded of its call to "put itself at the service of humanity." bit.ly/FastingOct7  #worldpeace #prayerandfasting

Today, we begin the season of Lent focusing on prayer, fasting, and almsgiving in reparation for our sins. How do you hope to live out these three pillars this Lent? #ashwednesday #lent

A saint is anyone who is in heaven, whether officially canonized or not. Today on the feast of all saints, we celebrate all the individuals who have entered the gates of heaven and ask them to pray for us, as we continue our own journey of holiness. #saints #bostoncatholic

On Palm Sunday the crowds rejoice at Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, but less than a week later they shout, “Crucify him! Crucify him!” As we read these words at Mass, let us call to mind the ways we’ve betrayed our Lord and seek His mercy. #PalmSunday

St. Paul reminds us that the Kingdom of God is always breaking in…calling us to throw off those things that lead us away from God and put on the things that draw us closer to Him—prayer, Mass, and the sacraments. Now is that time. #Advent

In the Body and Blood of Christ, we find his presence, his life given for each of us. He not only gives us help to go forward, but he gives us himself: he enters into our affairs, he visits us when we are lonely, giving us back a sense of enthusiasm. #CorpusChristi

Let us place ourselves before the Crucified One, the wellspring of our peace, and ask him for peace of heart and peace in the world. #GoodFriday

Though He had no sin, He took on our sin, paying for it with His own life so we could have life with Him in Heaven. #GoodFriday #SufferingServant

One of the marks of a Christian life is a certain hiddenness. And during Lent, we’re asked to spend more time in prayer, give more to others, and fast from something—but in a way that only the Father knows. These next 40 days, live out this quiet witness. #Lent #AshWednesday
