"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and every one that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me." - John 15:1-8 . Lord, help us to remain in you that we may bear good fruit in the world.

Hoy es día de Santa Gianna Beretta Molla. Escucha su historia, link al podcast en la bio. Episodio con invitada. Santa Gianna Beretta Molla, esposa y médico italiana, es una santa del siglo XX que se ha convertido en un signo de contradicción para los valores contemporáneos. En ella puede descubrirse la acción de gracia de Dios a través de una vida volcada al servicio y al apostolado. Su vida edificada sobre la roca da un último fruto, como el grano que cae en tierra, al entregar su vida enteramente confiada en la voluntad de Dios, por amor a su familia. #santagiannaberettamolla #giannaberettamolla #jesus #jesucristo #jesuschrist #jesuscristo #dios #god #santodeldia #santodeldía #santidad #catolicismo #iglesiacatólica #iglesiacatolica #catolica #catolico #catolicos #santodelgiorno #chiesacattolica #cattolico #cattolicesimo #saintoftheday #sainthood #catholic #catholicism #traditionalcatholic #traditionalcatholicism #catholiclife #catholicfaith #livesofthesaints

The Prayer to St. Michael is a powerful invocation seeking protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. It helps us defend our faith in this struggle and emphasizes Saint Michael’s role as a defender of the Church and its followers, combating the forces of evil and providing a shield against spiritual harm. ✝ According to our Catholic tradition, St. Michael has four duties: 🌸to continue to wage battle against Satan and the other fallen angels 🌸to protect faithful souls from the power of Satan, especially at the hour of death 🌸to protect and champion God's people 🌸to lead the souls of the departed from this life and present them to our Lord for the particular judgment, and at the end of time, for the final judgment. Let us not fear asking for St. Michael’s help through this prayer. We need to remember that each time we pray, we work to defeat our real enemies, not each other, but rather satan and his evil spirits. What celestial battles do you imagine Saint Michael engaging in as he defends against the forces of evil?” 🌟 Feel free to get creative with your response! 😊 #saintmichael #saintmichaelprayer #angels #archangels #prayerwarrior #prayerworks #prayerlife #faith #catholic #catholiclife #catholicfaith #catholicchurch #catholicism #catholicechoes #catholiccommunity #christiancommunity

When my husband and I were dating neither one of us gave a thought about our Faith life. I was the mad Protestant who had turned her back on God and Dustin was a cradle Catholic that lived right across the street from the Catholic Church on campus, but never went. The day our oldest was born, my husband said that when he held her in his arms, he knew that he needed to be better for her. He’ll tell you that he started looking around at men in his life that seemed to shine and thrive. He found two: His grandfather and my pastor from the church I grew up in. He looked at their lives and thought, “What is it about them that makes them seem content, joyful, and…even…holy? I want that.” My husband realized pretty quickly that they were deeply connected to the True Vine and because they were so connected, they bore much fruit. This started my husband and I on a journey back to our Faith and ultimately led me into the Catholic Church. You will wither without Christ, Catholic Pilgrims. Remain connected to the True Vine at all costs. When you do, others will see the difference in you and want what you have, and what you have is Christ. Have a blessed Fifth Sunday of Easter. *Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche, St. Augustine, Florida

Today we celebrate the feast day of Saint Gianna Beretta Molla and remember this day as the day she died in 1962. This modern day saint is a beautiful witness of love and sacrifice in a world that so desperately needs to know and experience true love. Saint Gianna was an Italian physician and a devoted wife and mother. While pregnant with her fourth child, she developed a life-threatening complication. In order to save her life, doctors recommended that she have an abortion, but St. Gianna refused, insisting that doctors save the baby’s life instead. She gave birth to her daughter on April 21, 1962, and died seven days later. She was canonized in 2004, and her husband and daughter attended the canonization ceremony. She is the patron saint of mothers, physicians, and preborn children. In honor of St. Gianna’s feast day, here are five of her most inspirational quotes: “Love and sacrifice are closely linked, like the sun and the light. We cannot love without suffering and we cannot suffer without love.” “One earns Paradise with one’s daily task.” “The secret of happiness is to live moment by moment and to thank God for all that He, in His goodness, sends to us day after day.” “In order to bring true peace back to my soul, the only way that there exists on the Earth is Confession, because Jesus awaits me with His immense heart.” “Our body is a cenacle, a monstrance: through its crystal the world should see God.” Saint Gianna Beretta Molla, pray for us! . . . #stgiannaberettamolla #stgianna #feastday #saintoftheday #saints #inspiration #motivational #quotes #saintsquotes #doctorofsaints #catholiclife

Daily Gospel, Apr 28, 2024 John 15:1-8 1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that bears no fruit he cuts away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes to make it bear even more. 3 You are clean already, by means of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I in you. As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself, unless it remains part of the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me, with me in him, bears fruit in plenty; for cut off from me you can do nothing. 6 Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a branch -- and withers; these branches are collected and thrown on the fire and are burnt. 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for whatever you please and you will get it. 8 It is to the glory of my Father that you should bear much fruit and be my disciples. Reflection: Jesus wants us to know that we are branches who cannot stand alone. Jesus himself is our gardener who continuously nourishes our spirit. If we remain faithful to Him, our life will prosper and bear much fruit. If we remain loyal to our belief, the hard work we did will result into more than we ever expected. However, if we walk away from him, we will wither. May we always hold on to Him who is our vine. Prayer: Lord Jesus, may we be one with you in all that we say and do. Draw us close that we may glorify you and bear fruit for your kingdom. Inflame our heart with your love and remove from it anything that would make us ineffective or unfruitful in loving and serving you.

Saint Gianna Molla, ora pro nobis!! + Tenth of thirteen children born to Alberto and Maria Beretta October 4, 1922, she was a pious girl raised in a pious family; one sister became a nun, and two brothers, including Enrico Beretta became priests. While in college, she worked with the poor and elderly, and joined the Saint Vincent de Paul Society. She was a physician and surgeon, graduating from the University of Pavia in 1949, she started a clinic in Mero, Italy in 1950. She returned to school and studied pediatrics, and after finishing in 1952 she worked especially with mothers, babies, the elderly, and the poor. Active in Catholic Action, and a avid skier. She considered a call to religious life, but was married to Pietro Molla on 24 September 1955 at Magenta. Mother of three, she continued her medical career, treating it as a mission and gift from God. During her pregnancy with her fourth child, she was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst. Her surgeon recommended an abortion in order to save Gianna’s life; she refused and died a week after childbirth, April 28, 1962, caring more for doing right by her unborn child than for her own life. Today that child is a physician herself, and involved in the pro-life movement. + —catholicsaints. info + + #orapronobis #saints #catholicsaints #catholicfaith #catholiccoloringpages #catholicart #catholickids #liturgicalliving #catholicartist #catholicschool #catholiccoloringpage #catholicprintables #catholicfamily #catholickids #catholicmom #catholiclife #catholicteacher #catholicschoolteacher #catholichomeschool #catholicsofinstagram #catholicsaint#catholicpapergoods #catholiccalligrapher #shopcatholic #catholichandlettering #handlettering #saintgianna #stgianna #stgiannamolla #saintgiannamolla

Saint Louis de Montfort, ora pro nobis!! + Confessor, Marian devotee, and founder of the Sisters of Divine Wisdom, he was born Louis Maie Grignon in Montfort, France, in 1673. Educated at Rennes, he was ordained there in 1700, becoming a chaplain in a hospital in Poitiers. His congregation, also called the Daughters of Divine Wisdom, started there. As his missions and sermons raised complaints, Louis went to Rome, where Pope Clement XI appointed him as a missionary apostolic. Louis is famous for fostering devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Rosary. In 1715, he also founded the Missionaries of the Company of Mary. His True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin remains popular. Louis died at Saint-Laurent-sur-Sevre. He was canonized in 1947. + + + #orapronobis #saints #catholicsaints #catholicfaith #catholiccoloringpages #catholicart #catholickids #liturgicalliving #catholicartist #catholicschool #catholiccoloringpage #catholicprintables #catholicfamily #catholickids #catholicmom #catholiclife #catholicteacher #catholicschoolteacher #catholichomeschool #catholicsofinstagram #catholicsaint#catholicpapergoods #catholiccalligrapher #shopcatholic #catholichandlettering #handlettering #saintlouisdemontfort #stlouisdemontfort #louisdemontfort #toJesusthroughMary

Domingo 28 de Abril del 2024, V semana del Tiempo de Pascua 📖Lectura del Santo Evangelio según San Juan 15, 1-8 En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: "Yo soy la verdadera vid y mi Padre es el viñador. Al sarmiento que no da fruto en mí, él lo arranca, y al que da fruto lo poda para que dé más fruto. Ustedes ya están purificados por las palabras que les he dicho. Permanezcan en mí y yo en ustedes. Como el sarmiento no puede dar fruto por sí mismo, si no permanece en la vid, así tampoco ustedes, si no permanecen en mí. Yo soy la vid, ustedes los sarmientos; el que permanece en mí y yo en él, ése da fruto abundante, porque sin mí nada pueden hacer. Al que no permanece en mí se le echa fuera, como al sarmiento, y se seca; luego lo recogen, lo arrojan al fuego y arde. Si permanecen en mí y mis palabras permanecen en ustedes, pidan lo que quieran y se les concederá. La gloria de mi Padre consiste en que den mucho fruto y se manifiesten así como discípulos míos". 📖Palabra del Señor R/.Gloria a Ti, Señor Jesús.💛🙏 #Iglesiacatolica #papafrancisco #catolico #catholiclife #amor_catolico #catholic #popefrancis #romancatholic #fecatolica #catolicosoy #virgenmaria #virgendefatima #virgendeguadalupe #virgeninmaculada #catolicosdelmundo #Santorosario #panama #rosamistica #virgencita #santamisa #coclé #catolica #catolicismo #eucaristia #latinoamericacatolica #avemaria #frasemariana 🇵🇦

Today is also the Memorial of Saint Peter Chanel, Priest and Martyr Patron Saint of Oceania Anyone who has worked in loneliness, with great adaptation required and with little apparent success, will find a kindred spirit in Peter Chanel. Born in France, Peter’s interest in the missions began in school, when he read letters missionaries to America sent back home. As a young priest, Peter revived a parish in a “bad” district by the simple method of showing great devotion to the sick. Wanting to be a missionary, he joined the Society of Mary, the Marists, at 28. Obediently, he taught in the seminary for five years. Then, as superior of seven Marists, he traveled to Western Oceania. The bishop accompanying the missionaries left Peter and a brother on Futuna Island northeast of Fiji, promising to return in six months. He was gone five years. Meanwhile, Peter struggled with this new language and mastered it, making the difficult adjustment to life with whalers, traders, and warring natives. Despite little apparent success and severe want, he maintained a serene and gentle spirit, plus endless patience and courage. A few natives had been baptized, a few more were being instructed. When the chieftain’s son asked to be baptized, persecution by the chieftain reached a climax. Father Chanel was clubbed to death. Within two years after his death, the whole island became Catholic and has remained so. He was canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1954. Peter Chanel is the first martyr of Oceania and its patron.

Happy Sunday! Today's Gospel reading reminds us that without God's nourishment and pruning things get messy. As long as we (the branches) remain attached to the vine (Jesus), we have everything we need and the ability to create beautiful things through Christ. Just like it's easy for me to let the house get cluttered, it's easy to make a mess of my branches when I'm not focused on pruning and growth (the kind God wants from me, His will & not mine). My daily sins separate me from the vine. These things help me with pruning and staying attached as much as possible: the daily scriptures, attending Mass, Reconciliation, Bible study, the Eucharist, prayer, Adoration, and fellowship with others who love Jesus. Let's help one another stay attached and enjoying the energy that flows from the vine ❤️ What helps you remain in Him? #motivatedmasterpiece #dailyreadings #dailybread #scripture #godsword #thelivingword #mustardseed #catholiclife #catholicmom #catholicmomcommunity #workinprogress #reflection

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” - John 15:5 If you leave a plant out of the ground, it will eventually with and die for lack of nutrients. A fruit tree will bear more fruit if it receives all the sun, water, and fertilizer it needs. And so it is true for us: we need God to complete our hearts. We can go through life without Him, but we are more with Him. God is the perfect gardener. He prunes where we need it most and helps us grow in the places he has created for us. All it takes is for us to surrender to Him. Honestly, life is so much easier when we don’t fight, kick and claw our way through it. You may think that you need to take a firm stand and be bold in who you are. But aren’t you tired of the constant struggle against the world? God is calling us all to return to Him and leave the battlefield we’ve made of life. He is the true vine and we are the branches. We bear much fruit when we remain in Him. #amen #pray #prayer #jesus #truevine #wearethebranches #gardenoflife #mylordandmygod #totustuus #alwaysyours #catholic #catholicism #catholicfaith #catholiclife #catholicchurch #catholicchristian ❤️

St. Gianna Molla. The 20th century pro-life Saint whose witness to life we need so much today. A Catholic wife, mother, and pediatrician. She loved hiking in the mountains, skiing, art, fashion, attending operas with her husband. Most of all she loved taking care of her little family, playing with her children in the backyard, and volunteering at her church. Pregnant with her fourth baby and diagnosed with a tumor, she rejected a doctors recommendation to have an abortion. Instead, she chose the life of her unborn child, and gave birth to healthy baby girl several months later, who is still alive today. She passed away a few weeks later. St. Gianna was canonized May 16, 2004 by St. John Paul II. St. Gianna Molla, pray for us! #SaintQuotes #CatholicLife #LivesoftheSaints

Happy feast day of St. Louis de Montfort, best known for promoting the consecration to Jesus through Mary. . He was also known for his preaching and writings and is considered one of the earliest writers in the field of Mariology. . He said, “We never give more honor to Jesus than when we honor his Mother, and we honor her simply and solely to honor him all the more perfectly. We go to her only as a way leading to the goal we seek - Jesus, her Son.” . St. Louis de Montfort, pray for us! #StLouisDeMontfort #Mariology #Saint #SaintDay #FeastDay #SaintOfTheDay #SaintStories #CatholicFamily #CatholicMom #CatholicKids #LiturgicalLiving #ChurchYear #ChurchCalender #Calendario #Catholic #CatholicLife #CatholicMakers #CatholicBusiness #CatholicOwned #CatholicFaith #PrayForUs #CatholicChatechesis #PlayBasedLearning #ShiningLightDolls

'The function of education is not to give technical skill but to develop a person; the more of a person, the better the work of whatever kind.' - Charlotte Mason Unposed and unprompted, the shared look of sibling affection (they were meant to 'cheese' the camera) It's been just over a month since we began home educating Susanna and the fruits have been many, even in this short time. Our home feels more relaxed; we're finding our own little rhythms; Susanna is enjoying learning again, and is thriving on the freedom of expression found in home education. But honestly, the best part about these past few weeks has been seeing the friendship that is developing between these two. Susanna has always been a wonderful big sister to Violet, but being surrounded by children of her own age all day every day definitely had an impact on the way they interacted. Honestly, I can't quite put my finger on exactly what it is that has changed, lots of little subtleties, I suppose, as they are allowed the time to truly get to know each other and learn to navigate their relationship, but the 'lots of littles' are amounting to some big changes. It truly is such a joy and a privilege to be able to watch them flourish 💕

#SaintoftheDay St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort (1673 – 1716) was born in Brittany, France, to a large farming family. As a child he displayed an unusual spiritual maturity and spent much time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. At the age of 19 he went on foot to Paris to study theology at a prestigious school with the support of a benefactor; along the way he gave his possessions to the poor and made a lifelong vow to live in poverty supported entirely on alms. He was ordained a priest at the age of 27, and at 32 discovered his calling to be an itinerant preacher, receiving the title of "Apostolic Missionary" from the Pope after his bishop tried to silence him. For the next 17 years he preached missions in countless towns and villages throughout France with an emphasis on renewal and reform. His fiery devotion, oratory skill, and identification with the poor led many souls to conversion. He was persecuted by the Jansenists, who, in their spiritual pride, poisoned him, banished him from preaching in their dioceses, and made an assassination attempt on his life. He had a profound devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and taught on the power of the Holy Rosary. He also wrote a number of classic works on Marian devotion, the most famous being True Devotion to Mary. His feast day is April 28. #Saint #CatholicFaith, #CatholicInspiration, #CatholicDevotional, #CatholicBeliefs, #Catholic, #CatholicLife, #CatholicWisdom #CatholicStories #Stories #SaintStories #SaintStory #LearnSomethingNew #Learning #LearnaboutSaints #Saints #CatholicSaints

Our word of the week is Witness. Today we think about how we are called to witness the beauty and wonder of our Catholic faith. What a truly wonderful gift we have been entrusted with, for ourselves and to share with others. In witnessing our faith, we have an amazing opportunity to be the people of 'salt & light' from St Matthew's gospels guiding others to Our Lord and leading with a joyful heart. "You are like salt for the whole human race...you are like light for the whole world" (Matthew 5:13-16) #youthwork #youthministry #catholic #catholiclife #catholicism #saltandlight #YouthService #dioceseofnottingham

Malam Penyegaran Rohani 2024 We are back after 5 years 🤓🤗 As we dwell in the middle of our problem, we may sometimes catch ourselves saying, “I am too tired to move along with the year.” “I am lost and clueless of what to do or where to go.” “I am lonely as I go through this life alone.” But if we take a moment to open our hearts, we can see and hear the Lord saying, “Here I am.” In this year’s MPR, we hope for our faith to be refreshed and renewed, as we realise His everlasting presence in our lives and how we can be still in Him throughout the seasons of our lives. As home is where You begin, Lord, here I am 🕊️🙏 #catholicism #catholiclife #lord #god #jesus #youth #praiseandworship #church #indonesianchurch #pdkkimelbourne #persekutuandoakatolik #persekutuandoa
