On this 250th anniversary of our nation's founding, we entrust our nation to Our Lady of Guadalupe, Empress of the Americas. 🇺🇸🙏
May she intercede for our country, that we may grow in faith, hope, and love. ❤️🤍💙
Soccer is the best!! The fans are unmatched. So glad I grew up loving this game and seeing everyone else join in now is awesome!! #USA#AmericanPride#WorldCup2026
Thank you to our fans for your record breaking support. Friday's opening match was most-watched soccer match in U.S. history and a larger audience than the NBA Finals. We're just getting started, so bring your friends and let's keep making history together!
My new favorite thing is seeing everyone come to the US for the #WorldCup2026 and posting about how great it is. We really do live in the greatest country & unfortunately some take it for granted. A good reminder for us citizens to be grateful for the freedoms we have. #USA
The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration–Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others–might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place. This is far preferable to the statements on social media.
I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.
I’ve been thinking a lot about Mary tonight.
Do you think on this day nearly 2,000 years ago, she saw her baby boy up on that cross?
When they mocked Him, did she see his tears after his first childhood bully?
When He wept from the pain, did she hear her baby’s infant sobs longing for His mother?
When they flogged and beat Him, did she remember the first time He scraped His knee?
When they drove the nails into His hands and feet, did she think back to the tiny fingers and toes that held hers so tightly?
When He breathed His last, could she hear the first time He cried out after being born?
What mother would ever willingly allow the sacrifice of Her Son, let alone in such a brutal and inhuman fashion? How did she survive seeing everything at the foot of that cross, and continue her life afterward? How could she hold His mangled body taken down from the instrument of torture that was the cross and not die from heartbreak?
Mary’s courageous yes to bring God incarnate into the world in her womb didn’t end at His birth. To reply, “let it be done to me according to Your will” also meant “give me the strength to watch the Passion of the Christ, of my baby boy, and keep my faith in You, God.”
To have that kind of faith… unwavering. immovable. unconditional.
May we all pray to live it out ourselves, too.
Mary, Mother of God, and our Blessed Mother - pray for us 🤍

Liftoff.
The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.
Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.
