Today we celebrate the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary, honoring Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth.

Mary reminds us of the beauty of a life rooted in faith, humility and trust. May she continue to lead us closer to her Son, Jesus, and intercede for us in our daily lives.

Today we celebrate the feast of Pope St. Pius X, a shepherd who dedicated his life to renewing the Church and drawing the faithful closer to Christ.

His simple motto, Instaurare Omnia in Christo, “To restore all things in Christ,” continues to inspire us to place Christ at the center of our lives.

On the feast of St. Bernard, we remember a saint whose life was rooted in prayer, humility and a deep love for Christ.

A gifted preacher and theologian, St. Bernard helped renew the Church in the 12th century through his words, his writings, and his witness. Yet he continually pointed beyond himself, reminding others that true greatness is found in seeking God.

May St. Bernard inspire us to make room for prayer, to speak with compassion and courage, and to place our gifts at the service of others.

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Clare of Assisi. Inspired by the witness of St. Francis of Assisi, she left behind a life of wealth to follow Christ in radical poverty. Just three years after St. Francis founded the Order of Friars Minor, he and St. Clare established the Order of St Clare, the 2nd branch of the Franciscan family, dedicated to a life of prayer and contemplation.

More than 800 years later, her witness reminds us that richness is not found in what we possess, but in Christ's love

On the Feast of St. Lawrence, we honor a beloved martyr. Serving as a deacon in 3rd century Rome, he was entrusted with the Church's treasures and serving the poor. When ordered to surrender its wealth, he presented the poor, the sick, and the needy, declaring, "These are the treasures of the Church."

For his unwavering faith and courageous witness, St. Lawrence was martyred in A.D. 258. His joyful trust in Christ and love for those in need continue to inspire the faithful around the world.

"I can see clearly now..."

At his first public Mass in five weeks following surgery for a detached retina, Archbishop Hicks surprised the congregation by singing the opening bars of Johnny Nash's I Can See Clearly Now.

Reflecting on today's Gospel, he shared that Christ is always with and will always have the final word—not the storm. He thanked everyone for their prayers, shared that his vision continues to improve, and reminded us that while we all face storms in life, Jesus is always with us.

His invitation to us all is to say this prayer whenever fear or anxiety creeps in: "Lord, help me trust. Help me trust You in my storm."

Because of Jesus, no storm lasts forever, and no storm ever has the final word. With faith and hope, we can all look forward to "a bright, sunshiny day."
