“This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.” What some people saw as a reason for criticism and complaint, Jesus made the heart of his ministry. He welcomes those who are pushed aside, goes in search of the one who is lost, and rejoices when they are found. Remembering St Martin de Porres, whose humble service brought care and dignity to the poor and the sick, in his witness we are reminded that love draws near. May our communities make room for every person and meet each persons step towards home with joy. #TodaysGospel #StMartinDePorres @ArchbishopEamon Photo: “St Martin de Porres” by Lawrence OP, CC BY-NC 2.0

O God, who led Saint Martin de Porres by the path of humility to heavenly glory, grant that we may so follow his radiant example in this life as to merit to be exalted with him in heaven. Amen

Today we celebrate the feast of All Saints: the women and men whose lives have shown us what the Beatitudes look like in practice. The poor in spirit, the gentle, those who mourn, the merciful, the peacemakers and all who hunger for what is right are called “happy” by Jesus. Their lives may not always have looked easy, but they bore witness to a hope stronger than hardship. Today is a good day to remember that the saints are not distant figures but people who remind us that holiness takes shape in ordinary lives, through compassion, courage, forgiveness and faithfulness. May their example encourage us, and may they pray for us as we try to live the way of Jesus. #AllSaints #Beatitudes #Gospel @ArchbishopEamon

Speaking to athletes and members of the University of Notre Dame and Villanova University, who are in Rome to face off in a basketball game on the Solemnity of All Saints, Pope Leo emphasizes the importance of sports to promote cooperation and mutual sharing and also recalls that we are called to be holy in our lives. vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/…

Pope Leo XIV joked with the those present at the audience on who he would support between the University of Notre Dame, known as the "Fighting Irish," and his alma mater, Villanova University.

Everything changed for Father José Miguel Fernández, parish priest of the Spanish town of Urda, when he received a call from Archbishop Francisco Cerro Chaves of Toledo informing him of the scale of the disaster. The front of a Renfe train traveling at 200 km/hr (124 mph) had slammed into the last cars of an Iryo train at kilometer 118 of the Madrid-Seville railway line, leaving behind a horrific scene with dozens dead and injured. As of Thursday, the preliminary death toll was 69. Without hesitation, the priest went to the site to accompany the victims trapped in the train cars. According to his account, he arrived around 11 a.m., two hours after the collision, and joined the relief effort improvised by dozens of volunteers, many of them members of his parish. The first thing he saw was “a huge line of injured people emerging from the train cars,” he told Nicolás de Cárdenas, correspondent for EWTN News Español, the Spanish-language sister service of EWTN News. Residents of the town did what they could to help, transporting the injured in their own vehicles to Urda so they could receive medical care. “These are moments that, humanly speaking, break your heart, but very quickly our minds turn to God and we look up to heaven,” Fernández said. Among the injured, he especially remembered a man who approached him and said: “Father, give me a hug, I’m alive.” That encounter set the tone for the entire day. “I said to myself, well, this is how you can draw near today: by giving a hug. So that’s what I spent the entire morning doing while I was at ground zero, holding people’s hands and giving them a hug.” He later went to Urda’s municipal sports hall, which had been converted into a field hospital. Many desperate relatives arrived there looking for news about their loved ones. “There is no consolation for them. They want to know immediately what has happened. Where is my relative? Where is my loved one? And so what I tried to do was calm them, reassure them, and tell them: What matters is hope. Have hope. Trust in God, for God is good,” he recounted. For hours, the priest continued the same mission he had begun beside the railway tracks: accompanying the suffering of people who had lost everything in a matter of seconds. He also acknowledged that on “many occasions” he ended up crying with them. “We are priests, of course, but we are human, and the pain and sorrow of our brothers and sisters affect us too,” he explained.
