It’s the beginning of a new liturgical year and my favorite “season.” It’s the perfect time for reflection. How has the past year gone in terms of my spiritual life?

I’m a little late in posting but I wanted to share a site here. You’ll find a guide to each day of the Triduum. It includes a video from Fr. Mike about how to pray through Holy Week.

Each year tens of thousands of pilgrims travel to this village. Why, you ask? Because over 40 years ago 6 children claimed to have seen the Blessed Virgin Mary appear to them.
