We Remember
Remembering is sacred. It’s more than recalling the past—it’s entering into it spiritually, allowing memory to guide healing and hope. The Eucharist itself is a living remembrance: “Do this in memory of me.” Through it, Catholics unite with Christ’s sacrifice and the promise of redemption.

Peace isn’t just a lofty ideal or a distant dream—it’s a gift. It’s the first gift Christ offers: “My peace I give to you” (John 14:27). But it’s not a passive gift we receive. It’s active, challenging, and deeply personal. There are words of our day we can hang onto and peace is one of those words. In fact, Pope Leo has spoken about peace, 100 days, every day he’s been in office.
