Fr. Moin Simon, a priest originally from India and currently serving in Florida, shares his beautiful experience visiting Medjugorje with a group of 38 pilgrims. From witnessing people praying together at Apparition Hill and Cross Mountain to hearing confessions, he describes a deeply moving pilgrimage that strengthened his faith. Fr. Moin reminds us that everyone encounters God differently—through silent prayer, personal reflection, or visiting sacred places. His message is simple: take time to deepen your relationship with God, strengthen your faith, and allow prayer to transform your life.

When life feels overwhelming, where do we turn for comfort and strength? Elena Garin, a student at Ave Maria University, shares her moving testimony of how Jesus in the Eucharist sustained her faith through her parents’ divorce, anxiety, depression, and years of deep sorrow. Through daily Mass and Eucharistic Adoration, Elena discovered that God's love remained constant even when everything around her seemed uncertain. Her story is a reminder that Jesus knows our hearts, hears our prayers, and never abandons us. Whether you're struggling with heartbreak, loneliness, or uncertainty, Elena encourages you to spend time with Jesus in Adoration—even if it's just 15 minutes.

During a mission trip to Uganda, Annie, a student at Ave Maria University, experienced God's love in a way she never expected. At Our Lady of the Rosary School, she formed a special friendship with a young boy named Peter. Although they didn't speak the same language, their connection reminded her that love goes beyond words. One day during Eucharistic Adoration, as Peter slept peacefully in her lap, Annie remembered Jesus' words in Matthew 25:40: "Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me." In that moment, she recognized Christ's presence in the child she was holding. Through the joy, generosity, and welcoming hearts of the children in Uganda, Annie discovered a deeper understanding of missionary life and our calling to see Jesus in everyone we meet. Her testimony reminds us that whether we serve abroad or at home, we are all called to share God's love.

At just 24 years old, Alejandra Mendoza traveled from Colombia to Medjugorje carrying fears, questions, and a life-changing decision about her vocation. Despite recently undergoing surgery, she made the pilgrimage hoping to hear God's voice and discern her calling to religious life. During her time in Medjugorje, Alejandra experienced what she describes as a beautiful sign of God's grace at the Risen Christ statue. Through prayer, forgiveness, and the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, she discovered that God's mercy is present even in life's smallest moments. Her testimony reminds us that we don't need to have everything figured out to follow God. We simply need to open our hearts, receive His mercy, and trust Him with the journey ahead.

Emily has traveled to Medjugorje around 14 times, first bringing her children and now continuing to return as a way to renew and strengthen her own faith. She compares spiritual growth to grass: you may not actually see it growing from day to day, but little by little, it changes. For Emily, every pilgrimage to Medjugorje has been an opportunity to “fill the tank,” receive new graces, and return home strengthened.

What does it really mean to live under the guidance of the Holy Spirit? In this reflection, we prepare our hearts for Pentecost and meditate on the role of the Holy Spirit in the Christian life. The Holy Spirit guides, teaches, protects, molds, and strengthens us as we grow in faith and prepare for eternal life. The speaker reflects on the Church, the sacraments, prayer, community life, spiritual warfare, humility, and the importance of surrendering our own will so that God can work more freely through us. One of the central images of the talk is that we are called to become “fluid” members of the Body of Christ—people through whom love, forgiveness, peace, joy, and hope can flow. Pride, resentment, selfishness, fear, and unforgiveness can block that flow and turn our attention back toward ourselves. The invitation is simple but demanding: become smaller so that Christ can become greater. As St. Paul says, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” May the Holy Spirit renew our hearts, strengthen our faith, and teach us to surrender more completely to God.

Lectionary: 154 Reading 1 Wisdom 6:12-16 Resplendent and unfading is wisdom, and she is readily perceived by those who love her, and found by those who seek her. She hastens to make herself known in anticipation of their desire; Whoever watches for her at dawn shall not be disappointed, for he shall find her sitting by his gate. For taking thought of wisdom is the perfection of prudence, and whoever for her sake keeps vigil shall quickly be free from care; because she makes her own rounds, seeking those worthy of her, and graciously appears to them in the ways, and meets them with all solicitude. Responsorial Psalm Psalm 63:2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 R. (2b) My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. O God, you are my God whom I seek; for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary to see your power and your glory, For your kindness is a greater good than life; my lips shall glorify you. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. Thus will I bless you while I live; lifting up my hands, I will call upon your name. As with the riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied, and with exultant lips my mouth shall praise you. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. I will remember you upon my couch, and through the night-watches I will meditate on you: You are my help, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. Reading 2 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 We do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep. Indeed, we tell you this, on the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will surely not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself, with a word of command, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God, will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore, console one another with these words. or 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 We do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep. Alleluia Matthew 24:42a, 44 R. Alleluia, alleluia. Stay awake and be ready! For you do not know on what day your Lord will come. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel Matthew 25:1-13 Jesus told his disciples this parable: "The kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones, when taking their lamps, brought no oil with them, but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps. Since the bridegroom was long delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. At midnight, there was a cry, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.' But the wise ones replied, 'No, for there may not be enough for us and you. Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.' While they went off to buy it, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him. Then the door was locked. Afterwards the other virgins came and said, 'Lord, Lord, open the door for us!' But he said in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.' Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour."
