A Wednesday Mass honoring the Dedication of the Basilica of St. Mary Major. Readings highlight God’s steadfast, restorative love (Jeremiah) and the Gospel account of the Canaanite woman whose persistent, motherly faith wins Jesus’ healing. The homily connects the basilica’s story and Mary’s example to three invitations: reflect on how a mother’s love shaped your life, how it lifts you up, and how it remains steadfast even when rejected. The liturgy emphasizes Eucharistic worship, prayer for the Church and the dead, and a call to echo Mary’s ‘yes.’
