Beware of the dictatorship of 'doing'! Let us learn to take a break during the day: let us take a moment to be with ourselves and with the Lord. Let us find some kind of 'inner desert' amidst the noise and activities of each day. #Angelus
@NHLBlackhawks@PuckinHostile Been thinking a lot today about the 09-10 team. Probably the most fun I have ever had following a team over the course of a single season except maybe 82-83 Hawks.
Today @NGIreland we open an exhibition devoted to a remarkable, strong Irish woman, the princess St Dymphna, who died near Antwerp in the 7th century. In the Grand Gallery weโre displaying a 500-year-old altarpiece by Goossen van der Weyden. The colours and details are amazing.
The memory of the extermination of millions of Jewish people and people of other faiths must neither be forgotten nor denied. There can be no fraternity without first dispelling the roots of hatred and violence that fueled the horror of the Holocaust. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

In some 70 countries, homosexual relations are still a crime; in a few countries, a person can be executed for being gay. This is a historic step forward for the church, and the Pope's clear statement today will help to lessen violence against LGBTQ people and save lives.
Iโve noticed that many American Catholics, especially those who identify as pro-life, support the death penalty. This seems like a very American phenomenon, coming from the prevailing Protestant culture. You donโt see this zeal for the death penalty in Catholic countries.
I'd like to live in a country where people thanked teachers, farm workers, and laborers for their service and not soldiers. And where the same people received store discounts, preferential treatment, and subsidized education and healthcare.
