It is the habit of rumor mongers and false reporters to find ways to repeat the message or rumor they want to spread, so that many will believe it and give the impression that what they say is true and real news. Do not help the wicked, but raise them up as witnesses (Exodus 23:1). Catechesis on the spread of rumors, in collaboration with Fr. Randriamiandririnirinarivo Eric Franck - SDB

Mary is not a woman of many and beautiful words, she has something more important to do than look after her own image and visibility. Her person is not exhausted in what she appears, but lives what she is in truth. She knows that she must cultivate the authenticity and depth of her love for the Son of God and for hers, for every sister and brother, present and future. She knows that when there is love, it spreads itself and finds a genuine way to make itself visible. Novena to Mary Help of Christians. Day Three.

May 17, 2023 — Wednesday, Sixth Week of Easter — I will ask the Father and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John (Jn 16: 12-15)

Mary is a woman of every day, a woman of the ordinary of life, a woman who becomes a mother, a mother who sees her son die unjustly, sees him rise and awaits his Spirit in prayer together with the disciples. Mary strengthens each day with her deep presence filled with love and significance: every day seems to remain the same, but everything with her gentleness becomes new. Novena to Mary Help of Christians. Day Two.
