Every truly just society is built upon the recognition of the inviolable dignity of the human person. Such dignity precedes any concession by the State and cannot be subordinated to shifting social consensus. It belongs to every human being by the very fact of their existence, and for this reason, it must guide every positive legal system. When this conviction remains alive, the law becomes a safeguard for all and a guarantee against the imposition of particular interests and agendas. #ApostolicJourney

Sacred Heart Novena, Day 6: Heart of Jesus, Atonement for our Sins
As we consider the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Christ’s great love for humanity, we reflect on how we have fallen short of his love and the need to atone for our sins. We also take this moment to repent as a nation for the sins of our country’s past. Let us pray for forgiveness and healing from the harms caused by our nation's sins of racism and slavery, that our nation, blessed by God, and espousing noble ideals, may find justice, peace, and an end to strife, so that we may no longer be slaves to sin but friends of God. A central element of devotion to the Sacred Heart is reparation – the practice of making amends for the wrongs we have done, asking Christ to forgive our sins and convert our hearts to love as he loves. Let us pray with St. Alphonsus Liguori, founder of the Redemptorists, as we atone for our sins and consecrate ourselves to the heart of Jesus:
My Jesus, I love You with my whole heart. I am sorry for having so many times offended Your infinite goodness. With the help of Your grace, I purpose never to offend You again. And now, unworthy though I am, I consecrate myself to You without reserve. I renounce and give entirely to You my will, my affection, my desires, and all that I possess.
(Prayer from the USCCB)
Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus:
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, blazing furnace of God’s mercy and goodness, transform my heart and spirit so that I might give myself more generously in love and service to others. May Your tender Heart always be the place of encounter to experience the unconditional love of God tangibly made manifest in Your every word, action and gesture.
Take possession of me so that I might be an extension of Your presence in our world and channel the rivers of living water that flow from the fountain of Your infinite love and mercy. Grant me the grace needed to boldly proclaim and zealously spread the Gospel through the joyful work of evangelization, as I invite others to enter more deeply into the mystery of Your Most Sacred Heart! Amen.
(Prayer by Bishop Donald J. Hying)

I invite you to be new threads to weave new networks that harmonize every aspect of life for a renewed society in which time is imbued with eternity, culture preserves memory and fosters dialogue, education promotes the search for truth with a critical spirit, art awakens wonder and gives rise to noble emotions, business recognizes the dignity of each person, and work continues to be a driving force for hope. #ApostolicJourney https://t.co/2IeHrzWmSb
Pope Leo's first day in Spain started with giving missions to the different groups he met today: to civil and religious authorities, set aside polarizing narratives; to those who care for the most vulnerable, truly see the dignity in others; and to the young people, be authentically human.

Long standing ovation after the pope’s call to ‘weave new networks’ that harmonize, not divide, and include the marginalized. Don’t respond to evil with evil. Let’s learn to how to be together.

Just as Christ gives Himself as food in the Eucharistic celebration, the #CorpusChristi procession shows that He is not confined to the church, but comes out to meet us. Jesus travels the streets, crosses the squares, and visits our neighborhoods, dwelling in the settings of our daily lives. He is a God who is close to us, who walks with His people, the Lord of history. He is comfort to the weak, light for families, hope for the sick, and peace for those who suffer.
Charity admits no delay. Our responsibility before those in need makes every encounter with others a unique and unrepeatable moment of grace for love, not to be missed or postponed. The love of Christ impels us toward our brothers and sisters, and the charity and care with which we respond are the test of our faith. #ApostolicJourney #Spain
Silence can help us most to recognize the voice of God, since it fosters attention and recollection. Freed from the noise of a thousand voices, we come to recognize that some voices deceive our desires, others buy us without nourishing us, and still others speak out of self-interest. In silence, we understand that ideologies pass away, while truth remains. https://t.co/lbaMqHx1cJ
Christ who processes through the streets in the monstrance is the same Christ who identifies with the poor, the downtrodden, and those who are alone and forsaken.
The message of peace, which in these times unfortunately sounds naïve to some and provocative to others, is welcomed by those who do not close themselves within ready-made ideologies, but remain open to the truth.
I come to #Spain to confirm, encourage, and inspire renewed fidelity to the Gospel among believers, as well as deeper reconciliation and cooperation among the different souls of this nation. Spain's own history reminds us that stability and prosperity are born not of a culture of confrontation, but of a culture of encounter. #ApostolicJourney
