We see the tower of Jesus Christ illuminated for the first time!
The light show, starting from the base up to the illumination of the cross, culminated with a composition of lights guided by drones that traced the figure of Gaudí and the phrase “first love, then technique”.

Today is the day Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven.

Ascension Day, 40 days after his Ressurection, when Christ returned to the Father.

Here’s the deal: Abigail Spanberger, Don Scott, Louise Lucas and all their friends knowingly violated the Virginia Constitution.

They purposefully violated clear constitutional procedures to deceive voters, capping off their master deception with ballot language meant to confuse everyone.

They strongly argued for the VA Supreme Court to “wait” until after the referendum so their flood of money from national democrats could fund their brazen dishonesty and trick voters to “restore fairness”, and then claim “the will of the people” when the VA Supreme Court would undoubtedly strike down their unconstitutional attempt to disenfranchise millions of Virginians.

It’s a disgusting disregard for Virginians, the Constitution and a flagrant violation of their oath of office.

IMO if Tom Takubo loses his primary on Tuesday in WV SD-17, the general election there is gonna be competitive. Governor Morrisey barely carried the district in a favorable environment for Rs; nationally, the environment is gonna be ~D+9 or more.

Catholic beauty is not decoration.

It is the visible memory of a civilization that once knew Heaven was real.

"In light of this evening's events, I ask that all Americans recommit with their hearts in resolving our differences peacefully." - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

[JD Vance @JDVance]

I am grateful to Pope Leo for saying this. While the media narrative constantly gins up conflict–and yes, real disagreements have happened and will happen–the reality is often much more complicated.

Pope Leo preaches the gospel, as he should, and that will inevitably mean he offers his opinions on the moral issues of the day. The President–and the entire administration–work to apply those moral principles in a messy world.

He will be in our prayers, and I hope that we'll be in his.

[Larry Pack @LarryPack]

We should be fostering teamwork, not division, to move West Virginia forward. There is a lot of work to be done to make West Virginia the best place to live, work and raise a family. Infighting does nothing to help accomplish that vision.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria

"We must defend the truth at all costs, even if we are reduced to just twelve again."

- St. Pope John Paul II

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration–Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others–might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place. This is far preferable to the statements on social media.

I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.

[Military History Now @MilHistNow]

Today in 1865, Robert E. Lee surrenders the Army of Northern Virginia to Ulysses Grant at Appomattox effectively ending the U.S. Civil War. Grant orders his jubilant men not to cheer. "[They] were now our countrymen," he recalls. "We did not want to exult over their downfall."

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
