Mental Health Awareness Month - One Minute With Bishop Burbidge May 19, 2025

Show notes

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. I invite you to reflect its national theme this year: Community.

Saint Paul reminds us that we are one body in Christ. When someone we love suffers, we suffer too. Mental health struggles can feel isolating, but hope and healing are truly possible, especially when we entrust ourselves to Gods infinite love and saving prayers.

In our homes, communities, schools, and neighborhoods, may we nurture a spirit of empathy and presence to one another. Be attentive. Pray. Share encouragement. Together, with God's grace, we can ensure no one feels alone.

If you or someone you care about is struggling, remember: you are not alone. They are there for you, and the Lord is in your midst, the one who transforms distress to peace; suffering to glory.

A Call to Grace and Mercy - One Minute With Bishop Burbidge May 12, 2025

Show notes

What if love, not hate, was our first response? What if we prayed for those who hurt us, gave without holding back, and showed mercy instead of judgment?

Jesus said: "Love your enemies. Pray for those who mistreat you. Give to everyone who asks of you. Stop judging. Stop condemning. Be merciful."

Imagine the transformation—our homes filled with peace, our nation strengthened by compassion, our world healed by grace.

It is not easy, but with God's help, it is possible. And it starts with us—right here, right now. One act of love. One prayer. One moment of grace.

May we all take that step together today. With God's grace, we can each do our part to bring light into the darkness.

Habemus Papam! Bishop Michael Burbidge Reflects on the Election of Pope Leo XIV May 08, 2025

Show notes

"With profound gratitude to Almighty God, I join the universal Church in thanksgiving for Pope Leo XIV. As the Bishop of Rome and Successor of Saint Peter, our Holy Father is for the entire world the visible principle of Christian unity. I encourage everyone in our families, parishes and schools to offer prayers, sacrifices and works of charity for Pope Leo XIV and his intentions.

As Bishop of Arlington, I invite all the faithful to join me for a Mass of Thanksgiving for Pope Leo XIV, which will take place at the Cathedral of Saint Thomas More on Monday, May 12 at 12:05PM. This Mass of Thanksgiving will also be available via livestream, for those unable to attend in person. Through this celebration of the Holy Eucharist, we can support our Holy Father in a special way, asking Almighty God to grant that he may always bear witness to the truth, joy, and beauty of the Gospel with courage, steadfastness, and wisdom.

United in prayer for Pope Leo XIV, may we ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen him daily with divine grace in order that he may bring the light of faith and the unchanging and life-giving word of God to the challenges of our times. Likewise, may our Holy Father be for the Church and the world a sign of hope and an instrument of the peace and merciful love of Jesus Christ.

May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, intercede for our Holy Father and guide us all in fidelity to her Son, our Savior." - Bishop Michael Burbidge
