BENEDICT XVI: Today, “the things of God and thus the liturgy do not appear urgent at all.” There is an urgent need “for everything possible” but the things of God “do not seem to be urgent.”
@AmericanAir If it’s not addressed — then go find yourself another longtime PlatinumPro member somewhere else — @united and @Delta have great programs too.

@AmericanAir made a horrid mistake switching from @Barclays Mastercard to @Citibank. Horrible transition and extremely bad customer service @Citibank. I’m now thinking of switching to @Delta or @united for mileage membership.

Called THREE times … 30 minutes hold each tone to get a non-English speaking assistant
Horrible! Never once an issue with Barclays
Goosebumps! People often ask, is Shakespeare still relevant? Here is a great example, from the Steven Colbert Show, in which Sir Ian McKellen delivers an extraordinary speech. Shakespeare’s words are timeless, urgent and important.

RIP Alex Pretti. Reports confirm he was a Catholic school alum, active in Scouting, and an ICU nurse at the VA.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Trump and his allies are already smearing Alex Pretti’s name instead of confronting the truth.
Veterans who served our country and lived because of the VA are outraged. Alex was a VA nurse and hero, not a villain.

I would like that today we may together begin to build a culture of reconciliation. We must meet one another, heal our wounds, and forgive the wrongs we did and did not do, but whose effects we still carry. There are no enemies — only brothers and sisters. What we need are gestures and policies of reconciliation.
