This morning the FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend. More details to come. Thanks to the men and women of FBI and law enforcement everywhere standing guard 24/7 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland.

Some of the best quotes from Saint Padre Pio:

>“Prayer is the best weapon we possess, the key that opens the heart of God.”
>“In all the events of life, you must recognize the Divine will. Adore and bless it, especially in the things which are the hardest for you.”
>“Pray, hope, and don’t worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.”
>“You must speak to Jesus not only with your lips but with your heart; actually, on certain occasions, you should speak with only your heart.”
>“The rosary is the weapon for these times.”
>“Prayer is the oxygen of the soul.”
>“If we only knew how God regards this Sacrifice, we would risk our lives to be present at a single Mass.”

[Tim Allen @ofctimallen]

I continue this week with deep sense of my helplessness overall. I turned to reading Marcus Aurelius:
“If it is not right, do not do it, if it is not true, do not say it," and "Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one".

[Alex at Hallow @alexathallow]

From Pope Leo this morning before the shooting:

“When the heart is full, it cries.

We are accustomed to thinking of crying out as something disorderly, to be repressed. The Gospel confers an immense value to our cry, reminding us that it can be an invocation, a protest, a desire, a surrender. It can even be the extreme form of prayer, when there are no words left.

Yes, because there is this too, in crying out: a hope that is not resigned. One cries out when one believes that someone can still hear. One cries not out of desperation, but out of desire. Jesus did not cry out against the Father, but to him. Even in silence, he was convinced that the Father was there. And, in this way, he showed us that our hope can cry out, even when all seems lost.

One cries when one suffers, but also when one loves, one calls, one invokes. To cry out is saying who we are, that we do not want to fade away in silence, that we still have something to offer.

A cry is never pointless, if it is born of love. And it is never ignored, if it is delivered to God. It is a way to not give in to cynicism, to continue to believe that another world is possible.

Dear brothers and sisters, let us learn this too from the Lord Jesus: let us learn the cry of hope when the hour of extreme trial comes. Not to hurt, but to entrust ourselves. Not to shout at someone, but to open our hearts. If our cry is genuine, it can be the threshold of a new light, of a new birth. As with Jesus: when everything seemed to be over, in reality salvation was about to begin.”

Make no peace with evil.

[Jeff Simms @jeffreysimms]

@elonmusk Living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, there are few superchargers available.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

To forgive does not mean to deny evil, but to prevent it from generating further evil. It is not to say that nothing has happened, but to do everything possible to ensure that resentment does not determine the future.
