Dearest VEYM family, 

 

Blessed feast day of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini to you and yours!

 

Yesterday, in his Wednesday General Audience, Pope Leo continued the catechesis cycle on Jesus Christ Our Hope, reflecting on human fraternity and our call to love one another. The Holy Father highlights the importance of fraternity in our lives. He explains that fraternity cannot and must not be taken for granted. Even though today’s wars, tensions, and conflicts make fraternity seem difficult, without it, “we would not be able to survive, grow, or learn.” Pope Leo encourages us to turn to God, the source where our love can be strengthened. “May the Lord free us from all selfishness and division and renew us in hope that we may faithfully imitate his generous love for all people.”

The past few days, the members of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) have gathered in Baltimore for their Fall Plenary Assembly. During this meeting, our U.S. bishops approved the consecration of the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart in June 2026, as part of the Church’s commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the United States. They also voted to approve the Summer of 2029 for the next National Eucharistic Congress. Please save those dates on your calendars.

 

The bishops also issued a Special Pastoral Message addressing their concern for the evolving situation impacting immigrants in the United States. It marked the first time in twelve years the USCCB invoked this particularly urgent way of speaking as a body of bishops.  Please take some time to read/listen to our bishops' message.

During the Assembly, the U.S. bishops elected new leadership for the Conference for the 2025-2029 term. Please keep the newly elected President, Vice-President, secretary and chairmen in your prayers as they embark on their service, committed to advancing the mission of the Church in the United States. May they all be faithful stewards and wise servants of Christ.

"Today love must not be hidden... It must be living, active and true!" (St Frances Xavier Cabrini)

Ý cầu nguyện của Đức Thánh Cha Tháng Mười Một, Năm 2025: Cầu cho việc phòng chống vấn nạn tự tử. Đức Thánh Cha mời gọi các tín hữu: "Chúng ta hãy cầu nguyện để những người đang có ý định tự tử sẽ tìm được sự hỗ trợ, chăm sóc và tình yêu thương mà họ cần trong cộng đoàn và đồng thời cởi mở đón nhận vẻ đẹp của sự sống."

The Pope's Monthly Intention for November 2025: For the prevention of suicide. Let us pray that those who are struggling with suicidal thoughts might find the support, care, and love they need in their community, and be open to the beauty of life.
