FEAST OF ST JOHN XXIII, ROMAN PONTIFF.
FEAST OF ST JOHN XXIII, PONTIFF.
"While Jesus was speaking, a woman from the crowd called out and said to him,
“Blessed is the womb that carried you and the breasts at which you nursed.”
"He replied, “Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.” (Luke 11: 27 - 28).
Saturday 11th October 2025 in the 27th Week in Ordinary Time is the feast of Pope St John XXIII. (1881 - 1963). Italian. Pontiff.
Pope St John XXIII convened the Second Vatican Council which transformed the Church.
He wrote the popular encyclical Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth).
He was a humble and well beloved Pope and was popularly called the Good Pope.
I like very much this quote below from him:
"Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but what is still possible for you to do." (Pope St John XXIII).
Jesus promises in the Gospel of today that "blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.”
How to hear the word of God and observe it:
Do you know that you can renew your Baptismal Promises not once a year at Easter but once a day during your morning prayer?
It takes about a minute. The effect of this ritual is life changing.
This is an example of how to do it:
"Father in Heaven, I Lucy declare that I am Your child and the adopted sister of Your Son Jesus Christ. I desire to embrace Your holy, mighty and merciful will for me in everything today.
I renounce sins completely. I renounce Satan and all his lies and tricks and seductions. So help me Father God. Amen."
One minute a day that can change your life and destiny forever.
The Seed is the word of God.
Believe in the word of God.
Share the word of God.
Practice what you believe.
“The Rosary is a powerful weapon to put the demons to flight and to keep oneself from sin…If you desire peace in your hearts, in your homes, and in your country, assemble each evening to recite the Rosary. Let not even one day pass without saying it, no matter how burdened you may be with many cares and labors.” – Pope Pius XI
Say the Holy Rosary every day in October.
