Mañana, celebramos el Día de las Madres; un día para dar gracias a Dios por todas las madres, aquellas que continúan cuidándonos y aquellas que se han ido de esta vida hacia Dios. También damos gracias a Dios por las madres que adoptaron niños y por aquellas personas que actúan como madres cuando necesitamos conocer la bondad y la presencia de una madre.

Tomorrow, we celebrate Mother’s Day; a day to give thanks to God for all mothers, those who continue to care for us and mothers who have passed from this life into God. We also give thanks to God for mothers of adopted children and those who stand-in for mothers when we need to know the kindness and presence of a mother.

Our hearts are filled with joy and gratitude for our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV. In God’s good providence and with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the Cardinals have provided the Church with a new shepherd. We ask God to fill him with grace and wisdom to sanctify the Church in unity, teach with truth and mercy, and lead us to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ by our lives.

Deacon Hai Hoang and Hien Nguyen from Holy Vietnamese Martyrs Parish remember the Fall of Saigon 50 years ago.

Vietnamese American families talk about leaving Saigon under the cover of night “It was pandemonium,” one refugee said, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon. “Everybody just grabbed and just ran to the ships.”

Al enterarnos del fallecimiento de nuestro Santo Padre, el Papa Francisco, nos unimos en oración de agradecimiento por sus 12 años de servicio fiel a la Iglesia Universal como el sucesor de San Pedro.

I ask the people of the Diocese of Austin to join in prayer with the Universal Church and all people of goodwill to express our gratitude to God for the life of Pope Francis.
