August 29, 2021: "So today, this Sunday, as we just heard, we are returning to the Gospel of St. Mark. And for the next several weeks we will follow Jesus’ ministry and listen as he instructs all of us in the ways of the Kingdom of God."

August 28, 2021: "We gather today as one Church, one family of God. We are many peoples and we have one Mother. And today we especially renew our devotion to her, Our Lady of the Angels, just as the family of God has done since the beginning."

August 22, 2021: "And the Gospel tells us today that a lot of people stopped following Jesus after he taught them about the Eucharist. As we heard: 'many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him.'"

August 15, 2021: "It is a day of great joy and hope for us. Because we believe that where Our Lord has taken his Mother, one day he will bring each one of us. So we share in our Blessed Mother’s joy when she says in the Gospel today: “The Almighty has done great things for me and holy is his Name.” So in our celebration today, we are joining the Church in every century in continuing this great tradition of love and devotion. "

August 8, 2021: "The Eucharist is not a “remembrance of things past.” It is a living sign of God’s love in the present, his desire to walk with us on the journey of our lives. At the same time, it is a pledge and a bridge to the future."
