I love God and everyone made in His image! I hope and pray that God can bring me closer to Himself through them, and them closer to Himself through me.

[Father Brian O'Brien @frobrien]

If Pope Leo XIV comes to the United States, here's what I propose:

-Chicago
-then New Haven, CT to canonize Blessed Michael J. McGivney
-then to LaCrosse, WI to canonize Blessed James Miller, FSC
-then to Peoria to beatify Archbishop Fulton Sheen
-then to Springfield, IL to beatify Fr. Augustus Tolton
-then with Wichita to beatify Fr. Emil Kapaun
-then to Denver to beatify Julia Greeley

and top it off with a trip to Oklahoma to canonize Blessed Stanley Rother.

All to celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States of America. 🇺🇸🇻🇦

You can tell a lot about a man by what those under his authority think of him

Here's how the seminarians in Pope Leo XIV's former diocese reacted to his election:

[Vatican News @VaticanNews]

Pope Leo XIV explains his choice of name:

"... I chose to take the name Leo XIV. There are different reasons for this, but mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical Rerum Novarum addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution. In our own day, the Church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defence of human dignity, justice and labour."

✨ Today, from the balcony of St. Peter’s,
Pope Leo XIV suddenly and unexpectedly began to sing

Enchanting

[Vatican News @VaticanNews]

Newly elected Pope Leo XIV began his first homily with words in English during Mass in the Sistine Chapel with the College of Cardinals.

Don’t know how this movie will turn out, just wanted to finish the quote correctly: “We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures; we are the sum of the Father’s love for us and our real capacity to become the image of His Son Jesus.”-JPII.WYD.Toronto

Matthew Heidenreich, a perpetual pilgrim along the Marian Route, shares some features of the “monstrance-mobile”—including where the Bl Sacrament will “sit,” and how you can ask the pilgrims to pray for your intentions on their way to Indianapolis. (➡️ https://t.co/1L999mHovE)

[Fr. Dominic Rankin @DMNCRNKN]

Happy Easter everybody! (12 days ago, I know, but amazingly Jesus is still risen!) I'm running the #BostonMarathon on Monday and would love to offer some of the miles for your intentions or hold things in prayer as I go. Shoot me a message, or reply below, if you have anything!

[Sr. Miriam James @onegroovynun]

Jesus, draw us to you.

May we walk with you
these holy days
and share in the offering
you make of yourself.

Teach us how to love,
how to serve,
and how to suffer.

Make us one with you.

[Alex at Hallow @alexathallow]

In case you missed it! For the first time ever during the Super Bowl, we all got to take 30 seconds to give thanks to God.

Was an honor to get to pray together.

Glory to God.

[Sachin Jose @Sachinettiyil]

This is how Catholic children in Tanzania, Africa, celebrates the birth of Baby Jesus ❤️ do you think the future of Catholicism is bright?

[Sr. Miriam James @onegroovynun]

God,
We thank you
For the love you give
For the blessings we have
For the unknown graces given
For the sufferings so mysterious
For the people you have sent us
For the steadfast care you offer
For the protection hidden
For sins forgiven
For every gift

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁

[Fr. Dominic Rankin @DMNCRNKN]

“When have you felt the most empowered?”

Miss America 2023:

“I have felt this feeling seven times now as I bring these sacred souls to the earth… after I hold that newborn baby in my arms. The feeling of motherhood…is the most empowering feeling I have ever felt.

[Chris Stefanick @ChrisStefanick]

Right now the pope is leading almost a million young people in adoration before the blessed sacrament.

NFP ≠ Catholic contraception.
