This is the first #Easter message that I would offer you: it is always possible to begin anew, because there is a new life that God can awaken in us in spite of all our failures. From the rubble of our hearts, God can create a work of art.
All of us are able to give without expecting anything in return, to do good to others without demanding that they treat us well in return. As Jesus told his disciples: “Without cost you have received, without cost you are to give” (Mt 10:8). #FratelliTutti
After 40 years of psychiatric practice with tens of thousands of patients at Amen Clinics, it has become clear that there’s one self-defeating behavior that is guaranteed to ruin your life. What is it? Blaming others
So disturbing both cops should be fired now. Heartbreaking - can hear the fear in the woman’s voice that they are going to kill him for no reason. White cop couldn’t even talk. Terrible.
77-year-old retired police captain David Dorn, who served 38 years with the St. Louis P.D., was shot and killed while protecting a friend’s pawn shop from looters. RIP. 🙏 https://t.co/TXTRnGiWwZ
This is one of the worst ones I've seen. It captures the extent to which violent cops can turn tense but manageable situations into complete clusterfucks. If you can't handle someone yelling at you, choose a different line of work.
We cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form. At the same time, we have to recognize that violence is self-destructive and self-defeating. Nothing is gained by violence and so much is lost. Let us pray for reconciliation and peace.
Florida has zero tolerance for violence, rioting & looting. George Floyd’s murder was appalling & the MN perpetrators need to be brought to justice, but this cannot be used as a pretext for violence in our communities.
I thank local leaders for their efforts to keep FL safe.
“so the bottom line is this: if we want to bring about real change, then the choice isn’t between protest & politics. We have to do both.“ @BarackObama
“Unfortunately, voter turnout in these local races is usually pitifully low, especially among young people — which makes no sense given the direct impact these offices have on social justice issues” @BarackObama
