GOSPEL OF THE DAY
Jesus said to his disciples:
"You have heard that it was said,
You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
But I say to you, love your enemies
and pray for those who persecute you,
that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.
For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have?
Do not the tax collectors do the same?
And if you greet your brothers only,
what is unusual about that?
Do not the pagans do the same?
So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect."

From the Gospel according to Matthew
5:43-38

Today is the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
The purpose of the aim devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is to unite mankind to God through Mary's heart. This involves a total gift of self, something only ultimately possible with reference to God; but Mary is our intermediary in this process of consecration.
“So they went in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds. And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.” Luke 2:16–19

Everyone wants to be related to the Pope. Today, in the Canary Islands, the Catholic community presented Leo XIV with an impressive gift: a family tree tracing his ancestry. Hoping it might reveal Canarian roots, they told him, “The family tree of yours, in which we hope there are even Canary Island origins, will confirm that for us.” The gift delighted the Pontiff and drew laughter from those present.
