I can't stop listening to this song. Best thing that came out of the World cup being in the United States this year. 🇺🇸
Watching this compilation of fans from all over the world at the 2026 World Cup in America is so heartwarming.

Carmina is a high school teacher. Testifying about her depression she told Pope Leo, with her voice breaking, that she "struggled to overcome this illness in silence for years." "I am here," she said, because "God gave me a second chance," when she wanted to give up.
"But there are many others who continue to face this darkness. That is why I ask you with all my heart: Where can we see God when the darkness is absolute and we
cannot take it anymore?"
Pope Leo said he was "moved" that she was "able to speak about it, that you are here among us and that you have found the strength to embrace this second chance that the Lord has given you."
"Through contact with Jesus, even those who feel lost regain confidence in life; healed of their illness, they can rise to live again."
Speaking about depression, Pope Leo said: "there is something deeply wrong with a certain notion of
progress that subjects people to pressures, expectations and tensions that compromise healthy
balances. For this reason, we need a healthcare system that prioritizes this invisible and widespread malaise, which also affects young people."
"There are moments of darkness and suffering that our society silences," Pope Leo said, because "certain cultural norms demand that we always be victorious and perfect, and so our limitations, fragility and pain must be eliminated, confined to the deafening silence of loneliness or even shame."
And in these moments, we may instinctively think that "God has abandoned us as well," he admitted. "However, the cross of Jesus tells us that God does not abandon us, that he is at our side, crucified with us in moments of pain and extreme loneliness, that he gathers not only our tears but also the cry of our suffering that others do not hear."
"When God seems absent, we must entrust to him once again the burdens we carry in our hearts, even crying out to him, even protesting like Job, confident that in some way he is present and near even when he appears to be silent. But I believe we cannot do this alone. In times of pain, at least as much as possible, we must open ourselves to someone who can help us utter a
simple prayer, who can accompany us with discretion without rushing to explain that pain, who can take us by the hand and lead us out of that cry."

@GJCMDP@abp_rozanski So all the officers that are getting spit on , hollered at, and sworn at don’t deserve basic respect and being treated humanely? Do you allow other people to treat you that way at your job? I highly doubt it, nor should you. Stop defending such absurd behavior.
Jesus,
Protect us in these days to come.
Protect our nation and heal it.
Protect our families and heal them.
Protect our hearts and heal us.
Bring us closer to you.
Amen.
@JamesMartinSJ They are not resident aliens-that would imply they’ve been given resident status and thus they’d be legal. That’s not the issue, it’s the illegal aliens that are the problem. Committing a sin has consequences doesn’t it Father?? So does breaking the law.
The most uncomfortable/courageous speech in history was given by a 4 ft 11 in Catholic nun at The National Prayer Breakfast in 1994.
The speaker, was Saint Mother Teresa. To her right were the Clinton’s. To her left the Gore’s.
Chilling quotes from her speech 🧵
@docskop As a fellow physician well said. After the crap said about Georgia care the medical board sent us all a letter debunking all the crap we already knew. It’s a shame it has come to this.
I’m a board-certified OB-GYN currently practicing in Texas. I have been practicing for over 30 years and I have delivered over 5,000 babies.
Allow me to shed some light on the harmful lies coming from the pro-abortion lobby.

I am a physician who did rural ER for over 25 years. My frustration is doctors who are doing abortions, but don’t provide post abortion care when there is a problem. Also, not all hospitals provide Gyn/OB services and it is a disaster when these women show up at small hospitals, instead of going to a larger facility.
