10/09/2026

Every September 10, World Su***de Prevention Day reminds us of a truth that is often easy to overlook: behind every smile, there may be a struggle that remains unseen. It is a day to remember those who have lost their lives to su***de, while recognizing those who continue to carry the pain that may not always be visible. Behind a smile, a quiet presence, or an ordinary day, someone may be facing more than others know.

Prevention begins with something simple: noticing and asking. A sincere “Are you okay?” can open a space for someone to speak about what they are going through. It does not always require the perfect words or an immediate solution. Sometimes, having someone listen without judgement is already a meaningful form of support.

Changing the narrative around su***de also means creating spaces where people can talk about their struggles without feeling ashamed or burdensome. Reaching out should not be seen as weakness, and listening should not be reserved only for moments of crisis. A conversation, however small, can remind someone that their feelings deserve to be heard.

On this day, may we choose to start the conversation. If you are having a difficult time, you do not have to explain everything at once. When you feel ready, a simple “I’m not okay” can be enough. Let someone you trust listen, and allow yourself to be supported, one conversation at a time.

On this International Literacy Day, we pause to honor the power of words and the gift of being able to read, write, and understand. More than a skill, literacy is a gateway to knowledge, opportunity, and a better future.

Literacy reminds us that every word we learn brings us closer to understanding the world. Through reading, we discover new ideas through writing, we find our voice and through learning, we gain the courage to dream beyond what we know.

Today, we also remember those who continue to face barriers to education and literacy. May this day inspire us to value the opportunities we have and to help create a world where everyone has the chance to learn.

May we continue to read with curiosity, write with purpose, and use the knowledge we gain to make a difference. Because every word learned is a step toward greater possibilities, and every reader is given the chance to see beyond the pages.

Beyond the dawn: Mary’s birth, our hope

On this sacred feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we pause to honor a humble beginning that changed the course of history: the birth of the woman chosen by God to become the Mother of our Savior.

More than a birthday celebration, the Nativity of Mary is a reminder that God works through the small, the quiet, and the ordinary. In her birth, we see the first light of salvation drawing near. She who would become the Mother of God entered the world without earthly power or grandeur, yet her life would become a vessel of grace and a testament to perfect trust in God.

The Nativity of Mary is a "sign of hope and new beginnings" for all of us. Her life reminds us that every life matters, that every "yes" to God plants the seeds of redemption, and that faithfulness in small things leads to eternal purpose.

Today, as we commemorate her birth, may we be inspired to begin again—to say yes like she did, to trust like she did, and to love without condition.

May her life be our guide, and may her heart lead us always closer to her Son.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
