Heavenly Father,

As the days grow shorter and the beauty of autumn unfolds around us, I thank You for the gifts of this season. In the changing colors of the leaves, the abundance of the harvest, and the coolness of the air, I see signs of Your wisdom and care.

Lord, teach me to embrace change with trust, just as nature follows the rhythms You have ordained. Help me to let go of what no longer serves Your purpose and to grow in faith, hope, and love.

Bless my family, friends, and all those in need. May this season inspire gratitude in my heart and remind me of Your constant presence in every stage of life.

Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints, guide me closer to You each day.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

St Bernadette’s relics have arrived to The National Shrine Grotto!

¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana!

We asked our hermanos y hermanas one simple question: What Hispanic tradition do you hope future generations keep alive?

Their answers say it all — gathering as a family for Christmas and the birth of our Savior... passing on our faith and traditions so they never disappear... going to Mass together as a family and sharing a meal afterward... honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe on her special day.

Faith, family, and fiesta — woven together across generations. This is the heart of our Hispanic Catholic community here in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, and it's a gift we get to keep giving. 🙏🏽✨

¿Y tú? What Hispanic tradition would YOU want passed down? Tell us in the comments. 👇
