I’m not lucky.
I’m blessed my parents made big sacrifices to come to this country, start a business, employ Americans, and create a better life for my sisters and me.
God bless America. I love the USA.
Thanks Mom & Dad!
If you are an American, this letter is addressed to you, personally. You are an incredibly lucky person and it’s time you cheer up about it. https://t.co/Yt3O2P4Uq2
Europeans enjoying the World Cup: “Futbol is the greatest sport in the world.”
Americans enjoying the World Cup: “Wonder what fast food the German guy eats next.”
Today, June 11 2026, the United States will be consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
The decision was made at the 2025 Fall Plenary Assembly in Baltimore, with a wide majority
of votes in favor.
The consecration is scheduled to take place on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which in 2026 falls on June 11, today.
The year 2026 also provides the context for the semiquincentennial of the founding of the United States (celebrating 250 years since 1776).
Inflation is taking from the poor to give to the rich.
I wish Catholic leaders, who claim to have a “preference” for the poor, would preach loudly against this social sin.
"My client is not in a hurry."
One hundred years ago today, on June 10, 1926, Antoni Gaudí died in Barcelona, three days after being struck by a tram on his way to confession. Because of his simple clothes and unkempt appearance, many mistook him for a beggar and delayed helping him. By the time he was identified, it was too late.
A century later, the man known as "God's architect" is being remembered not only for his genius, but for the faith that inspired it.
Today, Pope Leo XIV will visit the Basilica of the Sagrada Família to bless the newly completed Tower of Jesus Christ, the final and tallest of Gaudí's planned towers. Rising 172.5 meters (566 feet), it makes the Sagrada Família the tallest church in the world.
Gaudí devoted the last years of his life almost entirely to the Sagrada Família, convinced that he was not building a monument to himself but offering a work of praise to God. He famously accepted that he would never see it completed, saying, "My client is not in a hurry."
One hundred years after his death, the basilica remains a testament to a faith capable of imagining eternity—and to a man whose greatest masterpiece was never really about architecture at all.
Fired!?!
They ought to be arrested. What a huge violation of American principles especially the First Amendment… and not just the analysts.
Who ordered the anti-religious profiling?
We must keep in mind two attitudes in our Christian life in order to be “wise architects” in building the civilization of love. The first guiding principle is to take up the cross of Christ as Good Samaritans, accompanying and helping to carry the burdens of so many brothers and sisters who are crucified by life’s trials. The second principle is to cultivate a Eucharistic spirituality, a spirituality of ecclesial unity in love.
The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney
Every human being is worthy by the mere fact of having been willed, created, and loved by God. There is no situation that causes the Lord to turn His gaze away from us. It is a consoling truth that accompanies us at all times and reminds us that His merciful love always outweighs whatever good or evil we may have done. #ApostolicJourney

In a world torn apart by wars and divisions, in a society that is increasingly fragmented and individualistic, we wish to be witnesses and prophets of unity, welcome, harmony, and peace, even at the cost of sacrifice and renunciation. We wish to offer our “yes,” ready if necessary to die to ourselves, to lose ourselves in order to find ourselves again, to renounce the superfluous in order to build upon what is essential and lasts forever (Mt 16:24–26). #ApostolicJourney
El Papa ha rezado hoy ante el Santísimo Cristo de Lepanto en la Catedral de Barcelona.
Esta imagen del siglo XIII acompañó a Don Juan de Austria en la galera Real durante la Batalla de Lepanto (1571).
El santísimo Cristo protegió la nave capitana de la Liga Santa (España, Venecia y el Vaticano), que derrotó a la flota islámica otomana y salvó a Europa cristiana.
Orgullosos de nuestra historia. Orgullosos de nuestra fe.
