One Mother, Two Miracles

From 40 A.D. to 1646, one Mother watched over her children—uniting courage, prayer, and peace.

This Sunday, October 12, 2025, tells two stories of one Mother.

In 1646, sailors once faced impossible seas, their faith trembling with the waves. They prayed the Rosary, trusting in Our Lady of La Naval, who guided them through danger until peace returned to the waters.

Far away and centuries before, around 40 A.D., an apostle once stood weary and alone in Spain. Then she came—Our Lady of the Pillar—her presence steady beside a glowing column, telling Saint James to keep going, to never lose heart.

Different places, different times, but one gentle voice. One Mother whispering the same truth: pray, stand firm, and do not fear.

When faith and courage meet, even the sea becomes calm, and the weary find their strength again.

And maybe that’s the same faith we’re called to remember today—to keep walking, praying, and trusting that she still walks with us.

Saturdays with Mama Mary

Two gentle weekends invite us to find Mary not in miracles, but in the quiet spaces of our ordinary lives.

October 11 & 25, 2025

October brings two quiet Saturdays for Mary—days for us to slow down, breathe, and remember Her calm faith that never faded.

Every Saturday, the Church quietly honors the Blessed Virgin Mary. This long-loved custom is called the Saturday Memorial of Our Lady, a gentle tradition that began centuries ago. It recalls Holy Saturday—the day between the Cross and the Resurrection—when the whole world waited in silence, and only Mary kept her faith alive.

For October 2025, these memorials fall on October 11 and October 25—two peaceful Saturdays for us to pause, pray, and bring a bit of Mary’s quiet strength into our daily lives. (Some Saturdays are skipped when a saint’s celebration comes first.)

🌹 Simple Things We Can Do

  • Let’s pray the Rosary, even while having coffee.

There’s no rule saying we must sit perfectly still or be in a chapel. The Rosary is a meditation, not a performance. We can pray it while walking, waiting for sunrise, or yes—while sipping our morning coffee. What matters isn’t our hands or our surroundings, but the direction of our hearts. Doing something simple and peaceful while praying can actually help our minds stay steady and sincere.

  • Let’s clean our space.

A tidy table or room can mirror an ordered soul. Mary’s life was simple and ready for God—keeping things clean and calm is one quiet way to honor that.

  • Let’s do one hidden kindness.

We can help someone today without them knowing it was us. Small unseen acts shine brightest in Heaven.

  • Let’s end our Saturday with one “Hail Mary.”

Even one prayer, said slowly before sleeping, can wrap up our day with grace.

Because in the end, Mary doesn’t count our posture or our pace—She listens to our heartbeats.
