Today is the feast of St Mark, the Evangelist.

What exactly is God’s faithfulness, to which we adhere with unwavering hope? It is his love! He, the Father, pours his love into our innermost self through the Holy Spirit. And this love, fully manifested in Jesus Christ, engages with our existence and demands a response in terms of what each individual wants to do with his or her life, and what he or she is prepared to offer in order to live it to the full. The love of God sometimes follows paths one could never have imagined, but it always reaches those who are willing to be found. Hope is nourished, then, by this certainty: “We ourselves have known and believed in the love that God has for us”.

Today is the Solemnity of St George, Patron of England.

Congratulations to Mgr Jim Curry, currently Parish Priest of Our Lady of Victories in Kensington, who was today named Titular Bishop of Ramsbury, and Auxiliary Bishop in Westminster by His Holiness, Pope Francis.

Hope is the expectation of something positive in the future, yet at the same time it must sustain our present existence, which is often marked by dissatisfaction and failures. On what is our hope founded? Looking at the history of the people of Israel, recounted in the Old Testament, we see one element that constantly emerges, especially in times of particular difficulty like the time of the Exile, an element found especially in the writings of the prophets, namely remembrance of God’s promises to the Patriarchs: a remembrance that invites us to imitate the exemplary attitude of Abraham, who, as Saint Paul reminds us, “believed, hoping against hope, that he would become ‘the father of many nations,’ according to what was said, ‘Thus shall your descendants be’".

Today is known as Good Shepherd Sunday, when we pray for vocations to the Sacred Priesthood. Let us thank God for the gift of the priesthood: a sign of his faithful and provident love for the Church! And let us pray that all young people may listen to the voice of God who speaks in the depths of their hearts and calls them to leave everything to serve him.
