This month’s prayer intention is that sports may be an instrument of peace, encounter, and dialogue among cultures and nations. May sports promote values such as respect, solidarity, and personal growth. Take a moment. Let us #PrayTogether, at https://t.co/S3TtsnB6oT

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7

At the Sunday Angelus in Saint Peter’s Square, Pope Leo XIV reminded Christians that authentic evangelisation springs not from strategies or techniques, but from a personal encounter with Christ cultivated in prayer, silence and contemplation.

[U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops @USCCB]

Most Rev. Daniel E. Garcia, Bishop of @AustinDiocese, reflects on Juneteenth, the day Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the end of slavery more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
He addresses the painful legacy of slavery, often called America’s original sin, and the systemic racism that still casts its shadow today. He points to the opportunity Catholics have to recognize the inherent dignity of every person and to renew the commitment to racial justice, reconciliation, and peace.

[Archdiocese of New York @NY_Arch]

Juneteenth calls us to recommit to the dignity of every human person. We celebrate the enduring hope of freedom and join in prayer for healing, unity, and peace.
