At the age of twelve, I made a pilgrimage with my mother to the La Salette Shrine. I remember well the site of the Apparition with its three statues of Our Lady. READ MORE...
The famous New York diamond dealer, Harry Winston, heard about a wealthy Dutch merchant who was looking for a certain kind of diamond to add to his collection. Winston called the merchant, told him that he thought he had the perfect stone, and invited the collector to come to New York and examine it.
The collector flew to New York and Winston assigned him a salesman to meet him and show him the diamond. When the salesman presented the diamond to the merchant he described the expensive stone by pointing out all of its fine technical features. The merchant listened and praised the stone but turned away and said: "It's a wonderful stone but not exactly what I want."
Winston, who had been watching the presentation from a distance, stopped the merchant going out the door and asked, "Do you mind if I show you that diamond once more?" The merchant agreed and Winston presented the stone. READ MORE......

Jesus said to his disciples: 'Go out to the whole world; proclaim the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. These are the signs that will be associated with believers: in my name they will cast out devils; they will have the gift of tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands and be unharmed should they drink deadly poison; they will lay their hands on the sick, who will recover.'
And so the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven; there at the right hand of God he took his place, while they, going out, preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the signs that accompanied it.
For your reflection:
· In the gospel for today, Jesus said to his disciples:
“Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature. Our Lady of La Salette at the end of her apparition gave us a similar mission: “Make this message known to all my people.” How are you making her message known? Are you being a good example to others of her message – namely, do you pray each day, keep her Son’s name holy, celebrate the Eucharist regularly with others, and celebrate the liturgical seasons and their practices of faith?
