Dominic Auricchio was 4 when he said he heard God’s voice in a dream telling him to become a priest. The now-13-year-old does not remember the dream too well, but he has felt drawn to the Catholic priesthood ever since.
As religious leaders, pastors, and ministers throughout the country gathered their people in prayer during those difficult days, the words of St. John Paul II offered a powerful message of faith and hope: “Sin, evil, terror, and death will not have the last word!”
The faithful are called to leave behind “all passivity and indifference” toward current events and the lives of others, especially amid the “rapid and profound changes we are experiencing today,” Pope Leo XIV said at his weekly general audience.

DALLAS— Con uniforme y útiles escolares listos, pero sobre todo con el corazón lleno de gratitud, Daniel de Jesús García de 12 años, está listo para iniciar su sexto grado en la escuela católica de San Bernardo de Claraval (SBS, por sus siglas en inglés) al sureste de Dallas.

Sus padres, de origen mexicano y residentes en Dallas desde hace dos años, estaban en riesgo de retirar a Daniel del plantel a causa de dificultades económicas.
“Nunca perdí la esperanza”, narró María Guadalupe García madre de Daniel. Cuando el padre de Daniel perdió su trabajo en noviembre pasado, madre e hijo decidieron refugiarse en la devoción a San José para pedir ‘un milagro’ que permitiera al hogar solventar la matrícula del niño.
