Pope Leo XIV sends a heart felt video message to young Catholics in Iraq:
“It is not always easy to be a light in the world. Indeed, at the present time, you are called to radiate this light in a situation that has often been marked by war and instability. The Lord has placed great trust in you in bestowing upon you this mission, and I too have great confidence in all of you. You must be Christ’s light in the midst of a darkness that can, at times, seem overwhelming. Do not be afraid! And do not think that you are alone in this task. I am with you; the Church is with you. Place your trust in Jesus; listen to him in prayer and through the guidance of others, and allow him to lead you.”

the actual point of college is you're supposed to try and make friends or just meet as many people as possible so one of them can get you a job at their company. nobody told me this before college either, my condolences to all of us
Catholic Charismatics do not identify as or with neither the Evangelicals nor the Pentecostals, who are VIOLENTLY (and I do mean violently, there has been vandalism and murder) against Catholicism, ATRs, and the Syncretism/Overlap spectrum between the two
I love Carmel because it’s simultaneously
1. a Mountain
2. a Desert
3. a Garden***
*** - My prayer from an imaginative lens has been very floral and it’s here that I find my favorite aspect of Carmel. I feel like it’s home to me spiritually and in its charisms.
Si el fracaso colectivo de Latinoamérica en este mundial sirve para que despierten frente a la manipulación de las iglesias evangélicas para montar gobiernos de ultraderecha y arruinar nuestra cultura, el futbol, nuestros procesos comunitarios y nuestra política, valió la pena
Es porque la iglesia contemporánea tiene la tolerancia de diversidad religiosa como enseñanza del magisterio desde el 1er y 2do concilio Vaticano mientras que los Protestantes teológicamente en mayoría buscan erradicar con todo que no sea su secta y son dispensionalistas
