May 21

Prayer Intention: We pray for all people who are struggling with long-term illness, that they may draw strength during this Easter season from the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, and that God will ease their suffering.
Today is the feast of Saint Casilda. She was the daughter of a Muslim leader in Toledo, Spain, in the 10th century. Casilda was a devout Muslim but was kind to Christian prisoners. When she was a young woman, she became very sick, but she did not trust that any of the local Arab doctors could cure her. So, she made a pilgrimage to the shrine of San Vicenzo in northern Spain. Like so many other people who went there, Casilda went to the healing waters of the shrine, and she left there healed. In response to her miraculous healing, she became a Christian and lived a life of solitude and penance not far from the miraculous spring. It is believed that she lived to be 100 years old.
Today is 4-bell day

Happy Summer!

Prayer Intention: We pray for the strength to be committed to our faith in Christ, especially in the most challenging of times.
Today is the feast of Saint Matthias. He took the place of Judas Iscariot among the Twelve Apostles. After the Ascension of Jesus, Peter stood before the other Apostles and said, “it is necessary that one of the men who accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus came and went among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day on which he was taken up from us, become with us a witness to his resurrection”. Not much is known about Matthias, but it is obvious that he was a dedicated disciple of Christ, being a follower from the time of John the Baptist through Christ’s Death, Resurrection, and Ascension.
Today is a 7-bell day
