We give thanks to God for the men & women who bravely served in the U.S. Armed Forces
Mother Angelica's Prayer for the United States:
LORD GOD, I ask in all humility that You bless this country as unworthy as we are.
Protect it from every evil. Protect it from the enemy.
Protect it Lord that it may accomplish Thy will and keep Thy commandments.
I ask LORD with a pleading heart to look down upon us in our unworthiness.
Give this country a renewal of devotion to You, to Your law and commandments.
Let us be once more a country under You, Lord.
May we once more say "in God we trust."
Guide us, and protect this country from every evil and every harm.
AMEN

One of the most moving moments during his visit to Córdoba, Argentina. The Mass began about 15 minutes behind schedule. Hundreds of thousands were waiting for him, yet Pope Leo XIV did not hesitate to stop for a close, unhurried encounter with a person with a disability.
Roll out the red carpet: Pope Leo is onboard the Pontifex Maximus headed back to Buenos Aires from Cordoba! Safe flight Papa Leon see you at the vigil tonight!
During his visit to Córdoba, Argentina, Pope Leo XIV recalled Pope Francis’ words that the Church “is not a business” or “an NGO,” but is sent to bring Christ to everyone. He warned that a Church that does not bring Jesus to others is “a dead Church.”
The pontiff made these remarks at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption during a meeting with bishops, priests, deacons, men and women religious, seminarians, and pastoral workers.
Pope Leo XIV continues his 12-day apostolic journey through South America, celebrating Mass in Buenos Aires with a record crowd of over two million faithful.
Tonight, Pope Leo XIV surprised the thousands of Argentines waiting for him outside the Apostolic Nunciature.
No microphone, no speeches—just a simple gesture that said it all: Thank you for all the love… but please let me sleep 🤣
Tomorrow marks his third day in Argentina. Let’s keep praying for him.
And thank you, Argentina, for all the love.

Some moments last forever!

Pope Leo XIV’s first Mass in Argentina drew around 2.5 million people to Buenos Aires, according to local authorities. The crowd was so large that many followed the celebration on more than 30 screens installed for the faithful.
But one of the most moving moments came during the consecration: upon hearing the Holy Father’s words, even those who were kilometers from the altar knelt to adore Christ in the Eucharist in complete silence.
He was born without arms or legs. And he has now been embraced by three popes.
Meet Pancho Chévez, the Argentine musician who this morning received the embrace he had been eagerly awaiting: one from Pope Leo XIV, upon the pontiff’s arrival at Pequeño Cottolengo Don Orione in Claypole.
When he was a child, during Saint John Paul II’s visit to Argentina, the pope held him in his arms and gave him his First Communion. Years later, he traveled to Rome and was embraced by Pope Francis.
Today, his dream came true for the third time: to be embraced by a pope—this time, Leo XIV.

This is what 2.5 million people gathered for the first papal Mass on Argentine soil in 39 years look like.
Palermo, near the Monumento a los Españoles in Buenos Aires, was the setting for Pope Leo XIV’s Mass—the largest outdoor Eucharistic celebration in the country’s history and the largest Mass of Pope Leo's pontificate to date, according to the official estimate. It surpassed even John Paul II’s historic Mass in 1982, which drew some 2 million faithful to the same location.
