  • Service with a Heart

    Today, we reflect on how true compassion requires noticing the needs of others and responding with both time and care, as shown in the life of Fr.

  • Accountability

    Today, we reflect on how truth-tellers are often silenced by fear and abuse of power, as seen in the story of Saint Paul Miki and the fate of John the Baptist. Both reveal that faithfulness to truth can threaten those who cling to authority without conscience.
