Lord of life, today we ask for the grace to recognize and protect the unique and unrepeatable value of every human being. May we learn to welcome life unconditionally, to tenderly care for fragility, to accompany each stage with respect, and to bravely defend those who have no voice.

BREAKING: Mitch McConnell’s family has reportedly asked Barack Obama to come visit him in the hospital to see if a reminder of McConnell’s unfulfilled dream of making Obama a one-term president could wake him up from his coma.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Americans on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This anniversary stands as an invitation not only to celebrate the nation’s remarkable journey, but also to reflect upon the responsibilities that the sons and daughters of this country bear to one another, and to the generations who will inherit the nation that is being shaped today. https://t.co/jIio4BBg9v

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

A country’s vitality is deeply tied to the value it affords to human life in every form and condition, acknowledging the dignity endowed upon every human person by virtue of their very existence. The moral greatness of a nation is manifested, above all, in its capacity to support, protect and cherish the lives of all, especially the most vulnerable and those whose worth is questioned.

@HalfwayPost WHERE IS THIS COUNTRY HEADED!!!
WOW ... SOOO SHAMEFUL

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly threatening to leave the Republican Party and "burn it down" because GOP Senators are turning against him, the House is useless, the Supreme Court rejected his appeal of his rape verdict, and none of his voters showed up to the 250th fair.

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, the Patrons of Rome. The blood they shed in this city reveals the depth of God’s love that the Lord Jesus has given us. https://t.co/ukBkzFPkPW

Passengers aboard an Air Canada flight helped restrain a pilot, who they say appeared to be having a seizure, for about 40 minutes after the aircraft suddenly swerved midflight, according to a passenger who spoke exclusively with ABC News. https://t.co/gT8Ol9acPu

My heart goes out to Pete and Chasten and it enrages me that this happened to them. Of course it could happen to anyone who uses their voice about anything today. We must all denounce this and stand with this family. This anonymous caller should be arrested. @PeteButtigieg

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Communion is never an achievement acquired once and for all. It requires a daily conversion, taking shape in prayer and through concrete attitudes, relationships of trust, and a willingness to listen to one another. #ExtraordinaryConsistory

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Let us entrust these days of the #ExtraordinaryConsistory to the Holy Spirit, that He may make us docile to His voice and grant us the grace to seek together what best serves the Gospel and the good of the People of God. #PrayTogether

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 10:26-33), Jesus draws a parallel between what we hear “in private,” namely, what is in the secret of our hearts, and what we are called to proclaim to everyone. He reminds us that proclaiming the Gospel is first and foremost a sharing of a personal encounter with Him, which is unique to each of us.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We are called to reread the Gospel in today’s world, exchanging the gifts of our respective cultures and the fruits that Christ's message has produced in them. One of these fruits is precisely the dialogue between peoples, the encounter in a spirit of fraternity, which enables us to discover and appreciate one another’s values. This path is not easy, but requires goodwill and God’s help. Yet, it is the path that leads to the civilization of love. #GeneralAudience

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The Lord is a refuge for the poor (cf. Ps 14:6). In Christ, we are called to become poor and to be a refuge for the poor. The Christian community cannot remain indifferent to the many who stand at the door but remain invisible to those who are shut within their own walls. https://t.co/sbtiuOBod5

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Today in the Church, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. For Christians, Jesus’ Heart symbolizes God’s merciful and infinite love for every human being. No matter where we come from, God’s love knows no borders, makes no distinctions, is given to all, and brings us together in unity. #ApostolicJourney

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

"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.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The beauty of the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia inspires us to learn ever more 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 lift up those who lie in the dust (cf. 1 Sam 2:8). Let us show in this way that the Sagrada Familia is the tallest church in the world, not so as to stand out in worldly rankings, but rather to guide the steps of the people of God, with the Cross illuminating their path, like a lamp burning brightly as we await the return of the Bridegroom. #ApostolicJourney #Spain

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

At times we experience the night of faith, the weariness of believing, the fatigue of the spirit, a sense of inadequacy in the face of the Gospel’s call, the bitterness of our failures. These nights are a time of blessing and a place for rebirth. #ApostolicJourney

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Selflessness is like leaven that makes the human, ethical, and spiritual dimensions of society grow, and it is a distinctive element of the “City of God.” In a world constantly influenced by a logic of self-interest and profit, where the term “growth” is reduced to the economic-financial sense, it is important to think and live according to a more authentic mentality that leads to integral human development. #ApostolicJourney
