Welcome to Assisi! I’m on my way to Rome to receive the pallium from Pope Leo XIV. We’re a Church on mission, and it was here in Assisi that God told St. Francis to repair His Church. Friends, I invite you, with me, to continue to follow St. Francis of Assisi as we look for ways within the mission of the church to rebuilt it, and repair it, and to renew it.

Today we celebrate the Nativity of St. John the Baptist who is the only saint besides the Blessed Mother whose birth is honored on the Church’s calendar. Called from the birth to prepare the way of the Lord, his life reminds us to point others to Christ with humility and courage.

Hoy celebramos la Natividad de San Juan Bautista, el único santo, además de la Santísima Virgen María, cuyo nacimiento se conmemora en el calendario de la Iglesia. Llamado desde su nacimiento a preparar el camino del Señor, su vida nos recuerda la importancia de guiar a otros hacia Cristo con humildad y valentía.

Desde senador romano hasta humilde obispo, San Paulino de Nola renunció al poder, la riqueza y el prestigio para servir a los pobres y seguir a Cristo. Poeta, pastor y amigo de algunas de las mentes más brillantes de su tiempo, nos recuerda que la verdadera grandeza consiste en elegir a los olvidados por encima de los privilegios.

Es el santo patrono de los poetas, los campaneros y de quienes lo entregan todo al servicio de los demás.

From Roman senator to humble bishop, St. Paulinus gave up power, wealth, and status to serve the poor and follow Christ. A poet, a shepherd, and a friend to the greatest minds of his time, he reminds us that true greatness looks like choosing the forgotten over privilege.

He is the patron of poets, bell ringers and those who give everything in service to others.

Today, the Church honors Saints Thomas More and John Fisher, courageous witnesses who remained faithful to Christ and His Church even in the face of persecution and death. Their unwavering commitment to truth, conscience, and the Gospel reminds us that holiness often requires courage. May their example inspire us to stand firm in our faith and trust in God's grace in every circumstance.

Juneteenth calls us to recommit to the dignity of every human person. We celebrate the enduring hope of freedom and join in prayer for healing, unity, and peace. We ask Christ to guide us in recognizing His presence in one another, and to root our communities in love, reconciliation, and respect.

Saint Romuald (c. 951–1027) founded the Camaldolese order and believed holiness grows in silence and solitude. On his feast day, may we make space, even briefly, for quiet prayer and a deeper turning toward God.

Recently someone noticed that when I am invited to lead prayer, I conclude by asking that everything we do and say be according to God’s will. Where do I get that from? It comes directly from today’s Gospel!

Love your enemies! This is the command we receive today in the Gospel. If you had to think of the one person who loves their enemies the best, who is it? And how do they do it?
