  • Today is Prepare with the Word Wednesday!

Gear up for Mass this weekend by breaking open the Sunday readings early in the week. Readings are found at the link in the comments.
Early reflection on the readings provides opportunity to consider the readings themes and to ponder how they can be applied to your own life in the coming week.
  • Although Saint Casimir was born into nobility, he dedicated his life to the King above all kings.

He was rebellious in many ways, shunning the luxuries a life of royalty afforded him and instead wearing plain clothes and often sleeping on the floor by choice. He refused to marry, choosing to lead a celibate life focused on serving God and the poor.
