Pope Francis at Angelus: Love needs tangibility, presence, encounter, time & space. It cannot be reduced to beautiful words, to images on a screen, momentary selfies & hasty messages. They are useful tools, but they're not enough for love; they cannot substitute your presence.

The devil appeared to three monks and said to them: If I gave you the power to change something in the past, what would you change?
The first of them, with great apostolic fervor, answered: "I would prevent you from causing Adam and Eve to fall into sin, so that mankind would not be separated from God."
The second, a man full of mercy, said to him: “I would keep you from turning away from God and condemning yourself forever.”
The third of them was the simplest and instead of answering the temptor, he knelt down, made the Sign of the Cross and prayed, saying, "Lord, deliver me from the temptation of what could have been and wasn't."
The demon, yelling loud and trembling in pain, be gone.
The other two, surprised, said to him, “Brother, why did you react like that?” ”
He answered them:
“First: We should NEVER dialogue with the enemy.
Second: NOBODY in the world has the power to change the past.
Third: Satan's INTEREST was not to prove our virtue, but to hold us in the past, so that we neglect the present, the only time God gives us His grace and we can cooperate with it to do His will.
Of all the devils, the one that most detains men and prevents them from being happy is "what could have been and wasn't". The past is left to the Mercy of God and the future to His Providence. But the present is in His love. Live today loving God with all the strength of your heart and those God has given you.

If you’re gonna complain about the costs of caring for my fellow veterans, then you shouldn't have shipped Americans off to 20 years of war. This country has an obligation to care for those who served, & now we have to keep the promise to our nation's veterans.
It's that simple.

Yet another heartbreaking mass shooting in Texas yesterday. Yet more lives lost and families destroyed. But we don't have to live this way.
Here's what we must do to put an end to it:
My fellow veterans are not political props. Republicans can't wrap themselves in the flag one day, and then vote to cut veterans care the next. This bill is a disgrace.
