This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood” (Is 1:15).
The wars that stain the present moment with blood are the fruit of the idolatry of power and money. Let us not grow accustomed to the clamor of weapons and images of war! #Peace is not merely a balance of power. It is the work of purified hearts, of those who see others as brothers and sisters to be protected, not enemies to be defeated. #ApostolicJourney https://t.co/WeRUclJHqq
On behalf of the Christians of the #MiddleEast, and of all women and men of good will, I appeal to those responsible for this conflict: cease fire! May paths of dialogue be reopened! Violence can never lead to the justice, stability and peace for which the peoples are waiting.
Today in Allocators Say the Darndest Things...had someone explain today that they “barbell [their] portfolio with private equity on one hand and direct lending on the other” 🤛🤜
Human beings are called to be co-workers in the work of creation, not merely passive consumers of content generated by artificial technology. Our dignity lies in our ability to reflect, choose freely, love unconditionally, and enter into authentic relationships with others. Recognizing and safeguarding what characterizes the human person and guarantees their balanced growth is essential for establishing an adequate framework to manage the consequences of artificial intelligence.

Look at the decline in population for young children (under age 5) in major cities from 2005 to 2024
This is catastrophic
Austin +98%
Orlando +89%
Raleigh +87%
Charlotte +81%

“Dearest Mother, I have delivered my brigade from ignominy once more. This time it was the strength of my relationships that won the day and not the accuracy of my sidearm. The boys on the Farm are in soaring spirits.” - Capt. Andrew Luck
