This is an AMERICAN moment. It’s time to speak up. All of us, myself included, must rise to this moment. So much is at stake for so so many - for our nation, for each other.

'There’s no known cure for a dark night of the soul, only patience and compassion in the face of it and the slow forbearing of its indeterminate duration. Every day is not Easter Sunday, I tell myself. Sometimes it’s Good Friday instead...' https://t.co/alBniYVfSm @FocolareMedia
There are more than 160 million registered voters in the U.S. & poll after poll now shows them evenly divided. Our next President will be tasked with governing a divided country with approximately 80 million unhappy voters. What then? #2024Election#USA https://t.co/Uu29Ju18QJ 🇺🇸
