@MichaelPTKelly I saw this clip. I admired his calm in the midst of the rude and agressive questioning by a person who had no interest in the answers. Embarrasing.
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.
@MichaelPTKelly I work with young adults seeking recovery from addiction in kachin state myitkyina. We have adoration twice a week. It is their favorite time. In the middle of a war and the struggle of overcoming addiction, it is a time of rest in the loving, healing, forgiving presence of Jesus
Humility of Heart: Jesus, meek and humble of heart,
make my heart like unto Yours.
Free me from pride and self-importance.
Teach me to serve without seeking recognition.
Let humility open me to Your will
and to the needs of others.
Amen. https://t.co/5ElP26bkjh
It is disheartening to see today that the strength of international law and humanitarian law no longer seems binding, replaced by the presumed right to overpower others. This is unworthy and shameful for humanity and for the leaders of nations.
This painting of St Columban was presented to Bishop John La Sam, the new bishop of Myitkyina, as a gift from the Rebirth Rehab Center. St Columban is the patron of the Diocese. It was painted by one of our volunteers. We ask St Columban to intercede for peace in Myanmar.
Thanks to donors to our work at the Rebirth Rehabilitation Center in Myitkyina, Kachinland, Myanmar. Despite all the difficulties we were able to send 3 people to Yangon for training to be chefs.
Before he was Pope Leo XIV, Robert Prevost had heard about 16-year-old Donal Walsh who was dying of cancer in the west of Ireland. He was so impressed by Donal's deep that he wrote him a letter offering to make him an honorary Augustinian. And two days before he died, Donal was sworn in.
This is the story of a teenager whose courage and conviction inspired Ireland, and also a future Pope.
On the day of the Jubilee of People with Disabilities, we celebrate the work of Sr. Geraldine Ryan, an Irish Columban Missionary Sister who has made disability services in South Korea her life's work.
