Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR, reflects on Thanksgiving and the feast of the Miraculous Medal, reminding us that God’s greatest gift is His grace. Like the one leper who returned to Jesus, gratitude opens our hearts to healing and salvation. Fr. Luke invites us to thank God for the graces we receive, the people through whom those graces come, and especially the gift of the Blessed Mother, through whom countless blessings continue to flow.

Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR, reflects on how we often look for loud signs or dramatic moments from God, but most of His guidance comes in simple, everyday moments. Just like preparing for Thanksgiving, our hearts sometimes need a little cleaning and quiet so we can notice Him. Fr. Luke reminds us that steady prayer, small acts of faith, and daily perseverance are where God gently leads us. When we stay faithful, even the big challenges won’t shake us—because we’re rooted in Him.

Everything in this world—power, wealth, even the most impressive buildings—won’t last forever. Jesus warned that even the Temple, so grand and sacred, would one day be destroyed. But the Kingdom of God is different—it’s the only kingdom that will truly last. As we near the end of the liturgical year, this is a gentle reminder to not get too attached to worldly things, and to keep our hearts focused on heaven, our true and eternal home.

Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR, reflects on the courageous witness of the Vietnamese martyrs and the humble offering of the poor widow in the Gospel. He reminds us that real faith isn’t just words—it’s a trust that’s willing to give, sacrifice, and surrender. Even if we’re not facing persecution, we’re still invited to offer God everything, especially in the small, hidden moments of daily life. With God’s grace, we can grow into a love that is generous, fearless, and willing to give Him our whole heart.

Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR, reflects on the Feast of Christ the King and the surprising way Jesus reveals His kingship—on the cross. He invites us to meditate on the good thief, who looked at the suffering Christ and received a supernatural grace to see the truth: Jesus is the King. Fr. Luke reminds us that we, too will one day see the face of Jesus, and in that moment understand that every suffering, every grace, and every good thing in our lives was Him all along.

Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR, reflects on Jesus’ encounter with the Sadducees and how He gently expands their narrow way of seeing. Fr. Luke invites us to do the same—to look beyond a purely human perspective and allow faith to open our eyes to the supernatural reality of God, His kingdom, and His grace at work in our lives, even at the end of the liturgical year.

Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR, reflects on the Presentation of the Blessed Mother and how God was preparing her—through every grace and moment of her life—to give her perfect “yes” to His plan. He reminds us that the same is true for us: everything we’ve been through has been shaping our hearts to say “yes” to God today and every day. list title

In this reflection, Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR, looks at Jesus weeping over Jerusalem—His sorrow not from anger, but from love. Fr. Luke explains how the people’s expectations of a military Messiah blinded them from seeing the One who came to bring true peace. He shows how Jesus’ prophecy was not fatalistic, but a call to conversion—just like the Blessed Mother’s words at Fatima. He invites us to see how God protects us more than we realize, and how our choices—good or sinful—bear real fruit in the world. As we near the end of the liturgical year, we are reminded to pray, convert our hearts, and welcome the peace the Lord longs to give.
