Today we remember Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on this the third anniversary of her death.
'Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening into the house and gate of heaven'
Praying for Roman Catholic brothers and sisters everywhere today and giving thanks for the generous life and evangelistic witness of Francis. What service to the end. And what timing. @SeeOfRochester
Jesus lay dead. His tomb sealed with a huge stone. But the stone was rolled away & Jesus rose. Now it’s our task to roll the stone from the tombs that imprison so many in our time - the forgotten children, the hungry, the voiceless, those that don’t fit, the excluded & many more.
Evil may have its hour, but God will have His day. This is one of the meanings enshrined in the story of Christ. Of His earthly suffering and death – and of His resurrection, and the truth that sooner or later, yet inevitably, evil will retreat, and life will triumph.
That is what we have wanted for all 1,152 days. We are united in this. Every day – and especially today, when Ukrainians of all Christian denominations celebrate Easter on the same date. Together. We fight for Ukraine together. And we pray for Ukraine together.
May evil’s hour end. May the day of life arrive. The day of peace. The day of Ukraine. The day that lasts for centuries. And we will be able to come together again. At one table. On a peaceful Easter.
May all this come true.
May God help us in this.
May there be peace. May there be Ukraine.
Christ is Risen!
He is Risen Indeed!
I met with President Zelenskyy before his meeting with Trump and Vance. As always, he expressed his gratitude for America's support for the people of Ukraine.
He has something Trump will never have or understand: courage and principle. Every American should be outraged⬇️
