@News12LI It is diabolical. It is not medical and is not aid. It is murder.

[Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word @MFVAFriars]

"Sensing that angels often visited there,...which from ancient times was called Saint Mary of the Angels, [Francis] stayed there out of his reverence for the angels and his special love for the mother of Christ."
-St. Bonaventure (Major Life of St. Francis)

[Ugochukwu Ugwoke, ISch @FrUgochukwu]

Mary, Our Lady of Victory, place us beneath your maternal mantle and pray for us in every spiritual battle. Protect us from temptation, discourage the attacks of the evil one, and strengthen us to remain faithful to Christ each day. May we always walk in the light of the Gospel. Amen.

Happy 4th! As we celebrate #America250, we give thanks for the faith that helped shape our nation. St. Patrick's Cathedral, America's Parish Church, stands as a lasting witness to that faith & the generations who helped build our American story. May God continue to bless America.

[U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops @USCCB]

God of power and mercy,
you destroy war and put down earthly pride.
Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our tears,
that we may all deserve to be called your sons
and daughters.
Keep in your mercy those men and women
who have died in the cause of freedom
and bring them safely
into your kingdom of justice and peace.
We ask this though Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

Ever feel like you’re only using 10% of your phone’s power?
I just learned my iPhone has had “Back Tap” for years… and I never knew.
What if we’re doing the same thing with the Holy Spirit?
You’ve got the power. Time to tap in.

Many people want to be Catholic, but only on their own terms - accepting what is comfortable and setting aside what is challenging. But Catholicism is not a menu we choose from; it is a faith we receive and live in fullness. True discipleship means trusting the whole truth, even when it demands more from us.
