God cares about politics. This is why Christians are called to faithful citizenship, to order the nation to God and all that is right and just. As America commemorates its Semiquincentennial, it's a special time to grow by God's grace as Christian citizens.

"Christian Citizenship and the Virtue of Patriotism," 🇺🇸 the latest course from Porta Fidei, is now available on 𝕏 for the first time. Join @ccpecknold to reflect on the nature and responsibilities of Christian citizenship and discover why patriotism is a virtue.

More than 100 young men spent the week at Quo Vadis vocations camp, where prayer, friendship and sports helped them grow in faith and listen for God's voice.

The Book of the Prophet Micah proclaims: “You have been told what is good, and what the Lord requires of you: Only to do the right and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God.” When we live in such a way, we are on the path to holiness and spiritual joy.

To the upright I will show the saving power of God. (Ps 50) #DailyPsalm

"The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the 'birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.'" (Mt 13) #DailyGospels

[Bishop Michael F. Burbidge @BishopBurbidge]

Jesus reminds us that “wheat and weeds” (good and evil) coexist in our world and lives. Do not get discouraged when you see the weeds. Because of God’s healing love, the power of the weeds to choke is not superior to the power of the wheat to grow and thrive.

Lord, you are good and forgiving. (Ps 86) #DailyPsalm

The Pharisees went out and took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. When Jesus realized this, he withdrew from that place. Many people followed him, and he cured them all, but he warned them not to make him known. (Mt 12) #DailyGospels

We honor St. Camillus De Lellis, patron of nurses, physicians, and the sick. In his honor, pray specifically for all healthcare professionals who are instruments of the Lord’s healing love. Also, reach out today to someone you know who is suffering physically or emotionally.

"I say to you, something greater than the temple is here. If you knew what this meant, I desire mercy, not sacrifice, you would not have condemned these innocent men. For the Son of Man is Lord of the sabbath." (Mt 12) #DailyGospels

We need to say daily: “O God, be merciful to me a sinner.” These words reflect our humility; need for God’s forgiveness; desire to repent; and belief that the Lord’s mercy is greater than any sin. May this little prayer help you to grow closer to our loving and merciful God.

You saved my life, O Lord; I shall not die. (Is 38) #DailyPsalm

Jesus said: "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light." (Mt 11) #DailyGospels

As we call upon the intercession of Our Lady of Mount Carmel today, may our Blessed Mother help us in our daily climb to holiness and “childlike” trust in her Son’s love and protection, the One who says: “Come to me, all you who are burdened, and I will give you rest.”

From heaven the Lord looks down on the earth. (Ps 102) #DailyPsalm

[Catholic Diocese of Arlington @arlingtonchurch]

At that time Jesus exclaimed: “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike." (Mt 11) #DailyGospels

[Bishop Michael F. Burbidge @BishopBurbidge]

Everything we do demands our very best. So, as you carry out your routine work, duties, and responsibilities today, remember the encouraging words of St. Bonaventure: “A constant fidelity to small things is a great and heroic virtue.”

The Lord will not abandon his people. (Ps 94) #DailyPsalm
