"God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him” (1 Jn 4:16). This is the heart of the Gospel, the heart of Christ. Whoever immerses themselves in it no longer lives for themselves. I give thanks for the abundant witnesses of faith and charity I have experienced on this #ApostolicJourney to #Spain.
We are not called to protect our institutions, nor do we protect the God of truth by covering up sin and/or a crime. To do so is to “protect” a cancer—and cancer kills. We honor God by caring for the wounded and by dragging sin to the light and calling it by its right name.
Two things South Carolina does better than just about anybody: football atmospheres and graduation weekends. There’s just something special about Columbia, different kind of pride around here. 🔥🐔🎓
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria
Crying is the body's way of processing emotions.
Apologizing for crying or telling someone to stop crying blocks our brain from releasing painful events.
The Science of Tears:
You do not need to be extraordinary. You need to be the ordinary inhabited by the extraordinary life of God. A word, a meal, or a cup of cold water has the capacity to bring the life of God to this world and delight His heart.
A repentant heart shows empathy for those who have been wronged and damaged by my sin; an awareness that the sin is against the goodness and holiness of God, not merely a behavioral aberration that got me in trouble. A repentant heart desires to make restitution.
Still think @douglaswils is fringe?
@HillaryClinton just wrote an article with a section on him and Christian Nationalism.
We're trying to get in contact with her.
I don’t wanna be California, Massachusetts, or New Jersey. I wanna be South Carolina and I hate seeing my home that I love so much become unrecognizable
