Fr. Luke shares the story of Saints Cornelius and Cyprian, two close friends who gave their lives for the faith and worked to keep the Church united in mercy and forgiveness. He reminds us how the early Church grew from a time of persecution into a deeper call to prayer, penance, and making everyday sacrifices out of love—just as the Blessed Mother taught at Fatima. It’s a message of hope that shows how even our small acts, offered to God, can bring grace and peace to the world.

Fr. Luke reflects on the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, sharing how Mary’s presence at the foot of the Cross shows her deep love and union with Jesus in His suffering. He explains how her sorrowful heart was joined to His Sacred Heart, and how this mystery helps us understand the meaning of our own pain and sacrifices. Her example reminds us that when we unite our sufferings to Christ, they can become a gift of love and hope that leads us toward resurrection.

Fr. Luke shares a heartfelt reflection on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, recalling his personal experience at Ground Zero on 9/11. He reflects on the mystery of the Cross, where Christ’s love conquers sin and death, and invites us to see hope even in the face of evil and suffering. Through prayer, repentance, and trust in God’s mercy, we can bring peace to our hearts, our country, and the world.

At Fatima, Our Lady promised that her Immaculate Heart would triumph, and she invited us to share in that victory through prayer, conversion, and reparation. More than a century later, her message is still alive and urgent. This reflection invites us to enter her heart, understand her mission, and carry her message into our families, communities, and the world.

Fr. Luke reflects on the feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary and the deep meaning behind her name such as beloved one, star of the sea, and even its ties to myrrh, the sweet yet bitter perfume of holiness. He shares how Mary raised and taught Jesus with love and care, and how she now guides us as a mother, teacher, and gentle companion on our journey of faith. Through her example and intercession, she helps us grow in holiness so that Christ may live fully in us.

On this anniversary of 9/11, Fr. Luke opens his heart, sharing his own memories as a first responder and the struggles we all face with forgiveness. He reminds us that forgiving isn’t easy—and we can’t do it on our own—but with God’s grace, it becomes possible. Through the witness of the saints and the power of prayer, Fr. Luke encourages us to live with hope, trust God’s mercy, and let His light shine through even in the darkest times.

Fr. Luke reflects on the Beatitudes from Luke’s Gospel, showing how they serve as a roadmap for Christian life. He reminds us that the saints are living examples of what it looks like to embody these teachings. From St. Carlo Acutis to Pier Giorgio Frassati, we see how holiness is possible in every age and walk of life. Fr. Luke encourages us to follow their example and seek their intercession as we strive to live the Beatitudes today.

Fr. Luke shares the powerful story of Saint Peter Claver, the Jesuit missionary who gave his life to serve enslaved Africans in Colombia. For 40 years, he ministered with compassion, baptizing hundreds of thousands, defending their dignity, and living among them as “the slave of the slaves.” His example of courage, sacrifice, and Christ-centered love challenges us today to confront modern forms of slavery and injustice, and to bring healing and mercy into a broken world.
