My dear friends, I ask for your prayers. My mother has passed away, and I humbly ask you to pray for the repose of her soul, and for comfort and strength for my family during this time. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. @catholiccom
Like all of you, I am utterly stunned and heartbroken and sick to my soul today. It is unimaginable to write these words. I met Charlie Kirk when he was 18 years old, a young man so eager and determined that I immediately turned to a friend and said, “That kid is going to be the head of the RNC one day.” Charlie became even bigger and more important than that. It was a privilege to watch this principled man stand up for his beliefs and create the single most important conservative political organization in America. But more importantly, Charlie was a good man, a man who believed in right and wrong, who stood by his Biblical values. All of us will miss him, and I can’t imagine the pain of his beautiful young family, and we must all pray for them. And we must pick up the baton where Charlie left it, fighting for the things he believed in so passionately. And we must fight for a better America - an America where good people can speak truth and debate passionately without fear of a bullet. I weep for Charlie’s family, and I weep for my country today. Most of all, I weep for Charlie.
Sotto didn’t become mayor because his dad was a comedian. Bam Aquino didn’t become a legislator because his cousin was president. Jake didn’t follow Erap into politics.
I’m all for calling out entitled politicians’ kids, but ‘nepo baby’ means using family ties—not just fame.
You should wear a St. Benedict Medal. Why?
It’s one of the Church’s most powerful sacramentals.
But most people have no idea where it comes from or what it really says.
