Martyrdom is still a real threat that Christians face throughout the world today. Saintly martyrs, such as John I, (whose feast we celebrate today) poured out their very blood to glorify God. Their sacrifice tells us that there is something worth paying the ultimate price for. Jesus, the King of the Universe, doesn't forget a single drop of our blood.

Mary made a habit of taking troubling or unique moments into a place of pondering in her heart. Some translations say she "kept" those moments or "treasured" them. Follow her lead. Give your troubles to God. He may reveal something you didn't see before. We'll share the trivia answer tomorrow!

Are you stressed out about something this week? Maybe a big project at work, or you have a thousand things going on in your home. Instead of letting ourselves turn inward, let us look to Christ who guides our every step and action!
“Lay all your cares about the future trustingly in God’s hands, and let yourself be guided by the Lord just like a little child.”

LORD JESUS CHRIST Can you help me to understand my words? Bless me and guide me here I am autistic, LORD HEAR ME PLEASE Please pray for English Language study LORD HEAR ME PLEASE LORD JESUS CHRIST heal me and my mind Amen Help me to study English My special prayer for Disabled Autism Autism is a developmental disorder with no cure, but studies have shown some children seem to “grow out” of their autism diagnosis. How is this possible? Autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning that there are different ranges of severity. Children with mild symptoms who are diagnosed early can sometimes learn how to manage symptoms so effectively that it seems like they no longer have the disorder at all. In these children, their autism symptoms are likely not gone completely. Rather, the child has learned how to compensate for, or mask, the symptoms of the disorder. In some cases where it seems as if the autism has disappeared, other disorders can manifest in its place. But this doesn’t mean that the child grew out of autism and into another disorder. Most often, the original condition was misdiagnosed in the first place. Can You Grow Out of Autism? The short answer is no. Autism is a lifelong diagnosis, and there is no known cure. As a spectrum disorder, there are varying degrees of autism and levels of disability. Some children with milder symptoms can learn how to manage the disorder more effectively than others. Autism impacts communication, behavior, emotion, and social skills. The earlier it is diagnosed, the more effectively a child can learn how to improve these skills through early intervention techniques. There have been several studies documenting that between 3% and 25% of children diagnosed with autism seem to grow out of their diagnoses. These children were often diagnosed young. In follow-ups, they show no characteristics of the disorder later in life. This is called an optimal outcome, or OO. Other studies show that children in the OO group who were diagnosed with autism before 5 years old, and tested through the standard autism diagnostic test and personality tests, no longer show social characteristics of autism. These children no longer fall into the diagnostic parameters of autism. There are several possible reasons for this outcome. It does not mean that a child can truly outgrow an autism diagnosis. Study Limitations & Possible Conclusions Symptom Management for Optimal Outcome While an autism diagnosis is generally not considered reliable before age 2, the earlier the disorder is suspected, and the sooner interventions begin, the better the long-term outcome. Children who are diagnosed early and begin treatment as soon as possible can learn effective coping skills. This can help them to manage their symptoms to such a degree that it may seem like they no longer struggle with autism at all. Remember that autism is a lifelong disorder. Children do not actually outgrow it. However, if the symptoms are mild enough, the disorder can sometimes have little to no impact on daily life functioning. A recent clinical report found that about 9% of children who were diagnosed with autism early did not meet the autism diagnostic criteria in early adulthood. Children with the highest chance of “losing” their autism diagnosis: Are diagnosed young. Have higher cognitive and language skills at age 2. Receive early intervention services. Report decreased repetitive behaviors over time. Early intervention and diagnosis are key for helping children learn how to manage symptoms, acquire important life skills, and improve developmental delays and behavioral issues. Additionally, therapy and early intervention can help autistic children develop necessary communication and social skills to improve autistic symptoms, potentially even to a point where they no longer meet the diagnostic criteria for autism. Even for those who seem to outgrow most of the symptoms of autism, continuing education, therapy, and ongoing monitoring are beneficial. Most of these children, and then adults, will still need support for some issues. There is no question that early treatment is crucial. Children who receive support, therapy, and interventions early in life show the greatest odds for the highest quality of life in later childhood and beyond. Prayer for Individuals Affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders Lord, you said, “I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. We pray for the gift of abundant life for all who are living with autism spectrum disorders. We pray for the children and adults on the spectrum who struggle to understand how the social world operates, and therefore have difficulties fitting in. Please allow them to experience dignity and the joy in life that their natural anxieties at times prohibit them from. We pray for their parents and other family members, whose challenge is to never lose hope as they work hard with love to guide and discipline. Keep us mindful of the strength with which you grant to anyone who asks for it and help us to share our faith in you with individuals in all developmental stages. We pray for catechists and teachers, especially when they don't understand that the persistent talking out or unusual behaviors that a person on the spectrum may demonstrate are not meant to undermine their authority. Help them to see the gifts of these individuals through your eyes and those of the people who love them most. We pray for members of our faith communities, that they replace their stares and looks of disapproval with understanding and compassion for people on the spectrum, who daily face great challenges, yet are trying to live the abundant life you have called them to. Give them the grace to include your most vulnerable people in the full life of the Church. We ask this in your name, Christ Jesus. Amen. Prayer to heal my autism Dear Lord, I come to you Tonight to help me, I believe in miracles and I believe in you Lord, help my little Brother to be cured from Autism, help him lord to recover his speech so that we know what it is he wants and needs, so that he can communicate with us and let us know how we can help him out. Thank you Lord for hearing my prayer. Jesus I trust In You

After Jesus ascended to heaven, one priority was to find a replacement for Judas. The early Church chose St. Matthias, whose feast we celebrate today as a true member of the Twelve Apostles. Sometimes God surprises us with big roles to fill, in unforeseen ways. Be humble and be ready!

On May 13, 1917, Our Lady of Fatima began appearing regularly to three Portuguese children. Her messages conveyed encouragement to not be afraid and to pray the Rosary daily. In a time of great violence, she promised that "...in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph." It brought hope to three children living through World War I. Mary's promises don't change. Hold on to her promise the next time you hold onto a Rosary.

Will you join Catholics across the United States today? Let's ask Our Lady of Fatima to intercede on behalf of the unborn. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has asked us to keep five special intentions in mind: www.usccb.org/news/2022/faithful-invited-fast-and-pray-rosary-friday-midst-tensions-over-leaked-d...
