21st Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 24, 2025
Three Feasts
By: Fr. Jarrod Waugh, CSC, Pastor
This week the church celebrates the feast days of three important Saints in history. The most prominent is St. John the Baptist, Jesus’ cousin and the Forerunner of the Lord, whose Passion is observed on August 29 (Friday). John the Baptist is one of the very few saints who have multiple festivals on the liturgical calendar, as both his birthday and death days are feast days. St. John the Baptist even has his own proper Preface, the prayer the priest says or chants right before the start of the Eucharistic Prayer itself. John the Baptist should really be loved and celebrated more than, it seems to me, he actually is in today’s church. John united the Old and New Covenants, he is the last prophet, and (one of arguably three, including Anna and Simeon) actually gets to personally behold and point out the One who fulfills the prophesies from ancient times. John precedes Jesus in birth, in public preaching, and finally in martyrdom and death. The Friend of the Bridegroom, John is a powerful example and intercessor for the church in every age.
This week we also observe an important and moving pair of feasts, with St. Monica and her son, St. Augustine, celebrated on the 27th and 28th, respectively. How beautiful and how fitting that St. Monica, who devoted countless hours to prayer and shed countless tears for the conversion of her son to faith in Jesus and his Church, is celebrated. She continues to be the best patron for parents who pray for their children’s (return to the) life of faith. And then following his mother, St. Augustine is remembered on the very next day, this great saint who set the tone for so much of the way theology would develop in the Western/ Latin Church and whose humble and beautiful autobiography, the Confessions of Saint Augustine, has been a moving and pivotal meditation and call to action for generations of Christians for over one thousand years!
I know that there are many different calendars and ways of marking time that compete for our attention, especially in these days of new school years, but I encourage all of us to take to heart as well the calendar that our Church gives us, and to try and make time to read the scriptures and learn about and pray to the Saints that are given to us this week and all throughout the liturgical year.

The Year of Hope
Pope Francis declared 2025 as the Jubilee Year of Hope and has called for this Jubilee Year to "be a moment of genuine, personal encounter with the Lord Jesus.” (Spes Non Confundit, 1). Christ is truly the "Hope that does not disappoint."
As Pilgrims of Hope, we are encouraged to draw closer to God through prayer, study, formation, and pilgrimage. The Diocese of Colorado Springs website offers a number of resources to assist on your journey, including recommendations on books, formations/ studies, ministry resources, podcasts, prayers, and more!

The Colorado Bishops have issued a statement on immigration titled "Welcoming the Stranger, Protecting the Common Good." Click the logo to read the full statement.
“As Catholic Bishops of Colorado, we approach the issue of immigration with prayerful hearts, seeking to guide our communities in a spirit of charity, justice, mercy, and prudence. The call to welcome the stranger is woven into the fabric of our faith, and in standing with immigrants, it is our first concern that they know the love of Jesus Christ and their dignity as human beings. We also recognize the responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities, as well as passing on the teaching of the Church on immigration to those who govern.”
