As we enter into the fall, we are given time to begin new routines of prayer in our lives. We are encouraged to slow down and contemplate the beauty that surrounds us in our daily lives, from the changing colors of the leaves to the smile of a baby.

In the Gospel, Jesus tells the man "be open," but the place that most needs to be open is not his eyes and mouth, but is the place that is caught up in isolation. He wants you to be open too. He wants to take you away from the crowds so you can be seen, loved, and open to Him.

What purifies us is that God approaches us in Jesus. The purification we need comes through the encounter with Christ, coming so close that he can heal, purify, and transform us. Jesus always wants to go to the very place that is imperfect, our heart, and bring His healing love.

Matt Wasinski came to St. Basil after a friend invited him to Life Teen. Now a seminarian in his third year at Borromeo Seminary, Matt shares how a personal invitation brought him to XLTs at the seminary, and later to discern entering the seminary. Each of us can learn from Matt how a personal invitation can be a catalyst for sharing Jesus with someone.

When a man gets down on one knee to ask for a woman's hand in marriage, he takes a humble posture, waiting patiently for her response. The Lord does the same for us in each Mass, offering Himself, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity to us in the Eucharist, and like the woman being proposed to, we respond to that love, that comes humbly and patiently, with a resounding "Yes" and "Amen!"

"Beauty stirs that hidden nostalgia for God." - Pope St. John Paul II

Join Tommy and Cari as they discuss a new initiative at St. Basil and lead us through reflecting on beauty in our own lives. Beauty stops us, pleases us, calls us, reveals, vanishes, and moves us to share. Share with us the beauties that have touched your life!

Many of us attend Mass on the weekends "because we have to" and do not fully understand what the Church is asking of us in the Sunday Obligation. The Catechism says "Sunday is to be observed as the foremost Holy Day of Obligation" (CCC 2192). As we better understand the Sunday Obligation, we can come to Mass with open hearts ready to receive our Lord, and be nourished for the week ahead.
