SUMMARY:St Thomas\, Apostle
DESCRIPTION:We feel great kinship for the apostle Thomas because\, like him\, most of us curiously combine faith and doubt. We sometimes share the enthusiasm St. Thomas expressed when upon Lazarus’s death Jesus decided to go to Bethany. “Let’s go too\,” Thomas said to the other disciples\,“that we may die with him” (see John 11:16). But also like him we sometimes wonder where Jesus is headed and where he is taking us (see John 14:5).

SUMMARY:St Bonaventure
DESCRIPTION:Saint Bonaventure … played an important role in both the medieval Church and the history of the Franciscan Order. A senior faculty member at the University of Paris\, Saint Bonaventure certainly captured the hearts of his students through his academic skills and insights. But more importantly\, he captured their hearts through his Franciscan love for Jesus and the Church. Like his model\, Saint Francis\, Jesus was the center of everything—his teaching\, his administration\, his writing\, and his life. So much so\, that he was given the title “Seraphic Doctor.” Franciscan Media\, Saint of the Day.\n\n\n\nIt is through Saint Bonaventure’s writings that we have learned much of what we know about the life of St Francis of Assisi.  \n\n\n\nTrivia question: how many times did Pope Francis quote St Bonaventure in his encyclical Laudato Si’ on the care of our common home?

SUMMARY:Saint Mary Magdalene
DESCRIPTION:St Mary Magdalene is remembered as the ‘apostle to the apostles’ because she was the first to announce the resurrection of Jesus. The apostles did not believe her and went to see for themselves. According to John\, Mary Magdalene was specially privileged to see and speak to the risen Lord on Easter morning.   \n\n\n\nFor Reflection\n\n\n\nToday is a good time to listen to what faithful women are saying about God’s call to the Church in Australia at this time.

SUMMARY:Saint Martha
DESCRIPTION:“One of the most precious things in life is to have a home where you can go at any time and find people who accept\, love\, and understand you.

SUMMARY:Saint Ignatius of Loyola
DESCRIPTION:One of the many gifts of St Ignatius to the Church is his understanding of the process of discernment. Discernment is more than simply deliberating and making wise decisions. It is about prayerful attentiveness to God’s presence in us and in the world\, and openness to answering God’s call to us\, both personally and collectively.  \n\n\n\nThe examen prayer\, which St Ignatius asked Jesuits to pray twice daily\, is a fundamental practice of discernment. It helps us to cultivate awareness of God’s action in us and in our world\, and to pay attention to our response. It is not an examination of conscience\, like our reflection in preparation for the sacrament of reconciliation\, but rather and examination of our consciousness\, and so it is sometimes known as the consciousness examen. \n\n\n\nThere are many contemporary versions of the examen. They share five steps or elements that can be summarized as expression gratitude\, seeking insight\, reflecting\, noticing\, and looking forward. \n\n\n\nFind out more about St Ignatius of Loyola here. \n\n\n\nImage Credit
