MARY, QUEEN OF MARTYRS,
PRAY FOR US.

Welcome to Saturday, this one the day before we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. As we prepare then, may our "Yes" mean "Yes" and our "No" mean "No." Anything more is from the Evil One (Mt 5:37). The Kingdom of heaven is at hand (Mt 10:7). United in faith and prayer, Blessed Rafael Arnaiz Baron can inspire us.
I want to occupy myself with only one thing: loving God; with that alone.
(Blessed Rafael Arnaiz Baron in G.M. Fernandez, God Alone, p. 57)
SAINT BARNABAS THE APOSTLE AND MARTYR,
PRAY FOR US.
Today's photo: More beauty clothed in martyr red to commemorate Saint Barnabas the Apostle and Martyr. When I typed Saint Barnabas the Apostle and Martyr yesterday, it occurred to me that Apostle implies martyrdom. Pick up your cross and follow me, says the Lord. His right hand has won victory for Him, His holy arm.
