Contemplation: The One I Love the Least

Jesus’ repeated question to Peter—“Do you love me?”—is meant to awaken in us the truth that love for God is shown through action, especially toward the poor in whom Christ is truly present.

Contemplation: Not Our Help, but Our Hearts

True humility recognizes that all good comes from God, not from ourselves, and therefore we neither boast in success nor despair in failure, trusting instead in God’s will and timing. Our role is not to claim credit or control outcomes, but to serve with love, patience, and total confidence in Divine Providence.

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first U.S.-born saint, was canonized partly due to the miraculous healing of Anne Theresa O’Neill, a child cured of fatal leukemia in 1952 through Mother Seton’s intercession. This healing, medically inexplicable at the time, affirmed her sanctity and continues to inspire faith and devotion worldwide.
