“For those of us living with #ChronicPain or illness, this pressure can feel even heavier. Our bodies don’t work the way we’d like…yet the expectations around us don’t disappear… Some days, simply getting through is an achievement in itself.” https://t.co/S30C3P334J #disability
"My #body moves in ways I can’t #control —or it refuses to move at all. It aches quietly, collapses without warning & spasms for no reason. It hides things from me, keeps its secrets & exposes me in the worst ways": https://t.co/6yf4tASEhs by @serenebutterfly#ChronicIllness#FND
Every human being is worthy by the mere fact of having been willed, created, and loved by God. There is no situation that causes the Lord to turn His gaze away from us. It is a consoling truth that accompanies us at all times and reminds us that His merciful love always outweighs whatever good or evil we may have done. #ApostolicJourney

Spanish lawmakers gave Pope Leo XIV a standing ovation after he urged respect for migrants’ rights and international law during a historic address to parliament.
Pope Leo XIV went into the most left wing parliament in Europe and to their faces:
• Praised the history and heritage of Spain
• Unapologetically defended the right to life of the unborn and elderly
• Praised Catholic education
• Criticised 'traffickers and smugglers' who profit from migration
• Called for 'historical memory' that 'seeks truth and reconciliation' in dig at leftist division
• WARNED them against banning confession
This is one of the most impactful speeches delivered by the Pope.
He just received a 7-minute standing ovation for affirming the dignity of human life, from the moment of conception to natural death, in front of the Spanish Parliament
"The defense of human life is neither a partisan issue nor a confessional interest: it is a goal of civilization."
"Can a community that casts into the shadows the unborn child, the elderly, the sick, those who suffer in silence, or those who depend entirely on the care of others be called fully just?"
Watch.
“When people do not understand the state I’m in, it makes me feel even worse during a #flareup. So… I accept it and know that it’s temporary. It will pass… I allow myself to rest and retreat, and surround myself with comforting resources.” https://t.co/NNqoxWNXEg @AChVoice#cpp

Madrid witnessed something extraordinary today: Pope Leo XIV carrying our Eucharistic Lord through its streets on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. As thousands followed in prayer and adoration, the scene reflected the beauty of this ancient feast.
But Madrid was not alone. Across the world, Catholics gathered to carry Jesus in the Eucharist through their streets, publicly proclaiming their faith in His Real Presence.
Corpus Christi is more than a tradition—it is living faith made visible. Wherever the Eucharistic Lord was carried in procession today, in Madrid, throughout Spain, throughout the world, there beat the heart of the Church.
June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Every day this month I will pray and post the Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus:
O most holy Heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore Thee, I love Thee and with a lively sorrow for my sins, I offer Thee this poor heart of mine.
Make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to Thy will.
Grant, good Jesus, that I may live in Thee and for Thee.
Protect me in the midst of danger; comfort me in my afflictions; give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs, Thy blessing on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death.
Within Thy Heart I place my every care.
In every need let me come to Thee with humble trust saying:
Heart of Jesus help me.
