Pope Leo XIV at the Sagrada Família: “Art and beauty are privileged channels of evangelisation. Dear brothers and sisters, the beauty of this church inspires us to learn evermore from Our Master and Lord the art of living according to His Gospel. As we lift our gaze toward Him, the crucified and risen One, let us commit ourselves to lifting up those who lie in the dust, and let us show in this way that Sagrada Família is the tallest church in the world, not as to stand out in worldly rankings but rather to guide the depths of the people of God who make their pilgrimage in Catalonia with the cross illuminating their path like a lamp burning brightly as we await the return of the Bridegroom. Blessed be God forever.”

The antisemitic dictator Erdoğan – who is committing genocide against the Kurds, supports the Hamas terrorist organization, oppresses his own people and imprisons political rivals – is the last person who can lecture the State of Israel on morality.
The State of Israel and the IDF, the most moral army in the world, will continue to take forceful action against Iran and its proxies, which threaten the Middle East and the entire world.

🚨🇪🇺REMEMBER : Elon Musk just put the EU chief back in her place!
Von der Leyen was preaching about "democracy" until Musk hit her with a truth bomb:
"If democracy is the foundation of freedom, surely your position as leader of the EU should be elected directly by the people?"
When I was a Muslim I viewed Islam as the religion of peace, hope, and prosperity!
Today as a follower of Jesus I can see the sad reality of Islam much clearer. It is a religion that has victimized its own followers, let alone anyone and anything in its destructive way!
So how can Muslims still insist that their religion is the hope for any culture or society?
Thoughts!
The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney
