St. Mother Teresa spent her life serving the poorest and most vulnerable, reminding the world that every human life is a precious gift from God. Her words challenge us to build a culture of love—one that protects the unborn, supports mothers in need, and recognizes the dignity of every person from conception to natural death.

Today, let us pray for an end to abortion, for healing for those affected by it, and for the courage to defend life.

🙏 Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Unborn, pray for us.

🙏 St. Mother Teresa, pray for us.

As a boy, Pope Pius IX always prayed before the sacred image, which was in San Matteo. In 1886, His Holiness allowed the Redemptorists to take possession of the image from the Augustinians (Pope Leo XIV’s order.) That was followed by a great procession, in which the image was carried throughout the Esquiline region of Rome, where the image was enthroned on a high altar for public veneration in Rome.

Reports of miraculous healings spread rapidly throughout Rome. People came in droves to pray before the image. A short time after that, the altar area was filled with crutches and canes, no longer needed! Two weeks later, after the solemn exposition, Pope Pius IX made a pilgrimage to the shrine.

Pope St. Leo XIII, had a copy of an image on his desk to remind him how powerful Our Mother of Perpetual Help is.

Pope Benedict XV placed an image of Our Mother of Perpetual Help over his chair of state in the throne room.

During our three days of meditations and prayers, we will invoke Our Mother of Perpetual Help, just as many popes did, for all our needs, for nothing is impossible.

It’s time to submit your intentions; be sure to join me in the prayers for each day, beginning tomorrow, June 24.

In Rome, during a solemn procession of the miraculous icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help to St. Alphonsus Church, where the historic icon now resides, several miracles took place, one was very significant. As the icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help passed by, a mother stood by an open window and her four-year-old boy in her arms. Her son was dying from a brain ailment and had a high fever. She asked Our Blessed Mother to either cure him or take him to heaven. Within hours, the boy began improving. A few days later, the boy was led to the newly erected Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help in the church, to give thanks for his complete healing.

You can contact any of the well-known Shrines that are dedicated to Our Mother of Perpetual Help, located in the Philippines, Chile, Brazil, Ireland, Poland, Singapore, Haiti and Boston, Massachusetts. Each will tell you about miracles that have happened.

So, submit your intentions and be sure to join us in the prayers for each day, beginning on Wednesday, June 24 at https://www.catholicaction.org/our_mother_of_perpetual_help_intentions_2026

Happy Father's Day to all fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, and spiritual fathers! 💙

Today we especially look to St. Joseph, the foster father of Jesus and the patron of fathers. May every father be inspired by St. Joseph's example: to lead with faith, protect with strength, and love with a generous heart. Let us also remember in prayer those fathers who have gone before us and those who carry the joys and challenges of fatherhood each day.

🙏 St. Joseph, Patron of Fathers, pray for all fathers and families today.

Are you familiar with the treasured and miraculous Byzantine icon of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, so beloved by the faithful throughout the world?

Devotion to Our Mother of Perpetual Help (or Our Lady of Perpetual Help) began as early as the 13th Century. In 1866, Pope Pius IX granted permission to the Redemptorists, the Religious Order founded by St. Alphonsus Liguori, for the Icon to be enshrined in the Church of St. Alphonsus in Rome and told the Redemptorists to “make her known throughout the world.”

Throughout the centuries, countless miracles and favors granted have been documented, especially after a visit to the Shrines dedicated to Our Mother of Perpetual Help. Shrines are located in the Philippines, which claims to be the largest in the world – also in Rome, Chile, Brazil, Ireland, Poland, Singapore, Haiti and the US, in Boston, Massachusetts. If you have a very special, urgent need in your life, bring it to Our Lady now and she will in turn bring it to Her Son.

Please join me in prayer for three days invoking the intercession of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, from June 24-26.

Pope Leo Honored Our Shepherd Who Prays for You Every Day. Join Our Spiritual Bouquet for Cardinal Burke!

Add Your Prayers to a Spiritual Bouquet For Cardinal Burke’s 51st Priestly Anniversary and Birthday at https://www.catholicaction.org/cardinal_burke_spiritual_bouquet_june_2026

Last year, our Shepherd, Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke received a personal letter of congratulations from Pope Leo XIV in celebration of the 50th anniversary of his June 29, 1975, ordination to the priesthood.

Pope Leo wrote:

“He has preached the precepts of the Gospel according to the Heart of Christ and has recounted His treasures, diligently offering his devoted service to the Church universal.”

Cardinal Burke was ordained by Pope St. Paul VI at the Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican.

His Eminence continues to bring Jesus to thousands of Catholics, has traveled to many countries to consecrate men to the royal priesthood, administers the Sacrament of Confirmation, hears confessions, preaches homilies sound in theology and is a featured speaker at conferences worldwide. Cardinal Burke is ever faithful in offering Holy Masses and Rosaries for the intentions of the prayer warriors of Operation Storm Heaven. He prays for you and me daily. Anyone who has approached His Eminence for a blessing or to ask a question has experienced his graciousness, kindness, and genuine pastoral concern.

On June 29, our Shepherd and Patron, Cardinal Burke will celebrate 51 years of ordination to the sacred priesthood, which is the feast day of Saints Peter and Paul. Also, this year Cardinal Burke is celebrating 31 years of consecration as a bishop and 16 years as a cardinal serving Holy Mother Church.

Then, the following day on June 30, His Eminence will celebrate his 78th birthday.

As I did last year, I will once again present Cardinal Burke with a new Spiritual Bouquet. I warmly invite you to join in this offering with your prayers. Let us thank him for his fidelity to Holy Mother Church.

Join us in sending a fragrant spray of flowers heavenward, each intertwined with Hail Marys, a Holy Mass intention, a Holy Rosary, a Chaplet of Divine Mercy, an hour of Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament or a prayer or meaningful sacrifice of your choice.

The most popular selection is the Prayer Warrior Heavenly Bouquet: 1 Holy Communion, 1 Holy Rosary, 1 Divine Mercy Chaplet.
