Saturday – 28th Week of Ordinary Time B - Memorial of Saint Peter of Alcantara, Franciscan Priest, and Saints John de Brébeuf and Isaac Jogues, Priests, and Companions, North American Jesuit Martyrs
Today, as we gather to celebrate the Memorial of Saint Peter of Alcantara and Saints John de Brébeuf and Isaac Jogues along with their companions, it is fitting to reflect on their lives and how they exemplify the teachings of our Lord Jesus, particularly in the light of the readings from Ephesians and Luke that we just heard, so that we too may be motivated and encouraged to continue “fighting the good fight of faith” as they did and grow in our personal holiness while helping those around us accomplish the same through the grace and mercy of God.
