In Fr. Cyril's homily, we reflect on the transforming power of love through the life of St. Mary Magdalene. Though once afflicted by sin and despair, Mary is restored by the love of Christ, a love that seeks not to use or condemn, but to heal and redeem.

This homily was recorded as the conclave was set to begin on Wednesday, May 7. We reflected on Christ’s words: “I came down from heaven not to do my own will, but the will of the one who sent me.” At that moment, we prayed not for power or politics, but for the Holy Spirit to guide the Cardinals and the future Pope, according to the Father’s will.

During the Great Schism, Saints Vincent Ferrer and Catherine of Siena supported different popes but, ultimately, worked for unity and holiness within the Church. As a new conclave approaches, their example calls us to pray for a Holy Father who will lead with peace, clarity, and truth.

Part 2: On Saturday, March 22, Fr. Francis, O.P., led a Lenten retreat for men at our parish. Reflecting on our identity as God’s creatures and inheritors of the Fall, the retreat explored how the tools of Lent—prayer, fasting, and almsgiving—help us rise from our personal falls and journey toward the Resurrection. In this Jubilee Year of Hope, the day was a powerful reminder of the joy found in redemption.
