We pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary over Damar Hamlin:
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
#SCOTUS is considering whether to overturn CA's Prop 12. If it does, laws fighting climate change & cruelty on factory farms could be upended nationwide! I am joining @CenterForBioDiv@SierraClub & @HSLegFund to call on @WhiteHouse to #ProtectProp12. Our futures depend on it.
@jahimes As a constituent and supporter of @BornFreeUSA, I urge you to cosponsor the Refuge from Cruel Trapping Act (H.R. 4716), to ban the use of cruel body-gripping traps on our national wildlife refuges, for the sake of animal welfare and public safety!
#LetUsPray also for Haiti. I want to express my closeness to the dear people hard hit by the earthquake. May the solidarity of all alleviate the consequences of the tragedy!
There is no better way to pray than to place oneself like Mary in an attitude of openness, with a heart open to God: ‘Lord, what you want, when you want, and how you want’.
#LetUsPray for Afghanistan, so that the clamour of weapons might cease and solutions can be found at the table of dialogue. Only thus can the battered population of that country return to their own homes and live in peace.
Mary’s secret is humility. It is her humility that attracted God’s gaze to her. Today, looking at Mary #assumed into heaven, we can say that humility is the way that leads to Heaven. #Angelus
Let us remember those who cannot go on vacation. I think especially of the ill, the elderly, the incarcerated, the unemployed, refugees and all those who are alone or in difficulty. May Mary extend her maternal protection over each one of you.
God does not come in extraordinary events, but works amid the apparent monotony of our daily life, in the frequently dull rhythm of our activities, in the little things that, working with tenacity and humility, we achieve in our efforts to do his will.
