[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The Lord is aware of all that we have been through in this time. He is close to those who felt isolated and alone, feelings that became more acute during the pandemic. He is not indifferent to this. #IamWithYouAlways

Tell us Mary, what did you see on the way?
I saw the glory of the risen Christ, I saw his empty tomb.

Happy Independence Day! When Pope St. John Paul II visited the U.S., he said:
"America... The ultimate test of your greatness in the way you treat every human being, but especially the weakest and most defenseless ones."

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Nativity of #SaintJohnTheBaptist. Let us imitate his humble witness to the Lamb of God.

[Westminster Diocese @RCWestminster]

Today is the feast day of the martyrs St John Fisher and St Thomas More.

Both men were executed in 1535 for refusing to assent to King Henry VIII's supreme headship of the Church.

'I die the King's good servant, but God's first.' - Last words of St Thomas More.

This Father's Day, our sisters would like to ask you to join us in prayer, through the intercession of St. Joseph, for all fathers.

Please know that whether you celebrate Father's Day with a heavy heart, an angry heart, or a grateful heart, we are keeping you each in prayer.

.@ArchbishopGomez recognizes that our nation, for the first time, we will celebrate #JuneTeenth as a national holiday. "We thank God for the faithful witness, and in some cases the ultimate sacrifice, made by all who fought for freedom and emancipation for the enslaved." #USCCB21

Happy Pentecost!

(From 2019) The beautiful tradition on Pentecost at the Pantheon in Rome of rose petals descending onto the congregation at the end of Mass, symbolizing the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Veni Creator Spiritus!

Message from @FrZackSwantek: Congratulations Class of 2021! Our prayers are with you as you go out from Princeton into the world. As Jesus said in the readings for the Ascension on your graduation day, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.”

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

On this Feast of the #Ascension, while we contemplate Heaven, where Christ has ascended and sits at the right hand of the Father, let us ask Mary, Queen of Heaven, to help us to be courageous witnesses to the Risen One in the world, in the concrete situations of life.
