@VinceBurke99 @ShayeGanam @RadioFreeTom It was the music that kept us from thinking about it...

@Sidkobewka A warning- keep your phone on video record when walking in the city. And Thanks a lot anti maskers making Edmonton just another ugly city.

@sarneckid One of my parish priests when we were celebrating at St Augustine in Ponoka. A good and faithful servant.

Pray for Fr. Mitch. He served as pastor at Resurrection and Assumption parishes for years. He was, and is, a dedicated priest

@jannarden So sad.

@buitengebieden_ Absolutely!

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Do not judge, Christ tells us. How many times do we not only pass along gossip or rumours, but consider ourselves justified when we are harsh in our judgement of others. We can be indulgent with ourselves, but inflexible with others.

@nottut_paul @WalshFreedom Re: comfort in showing pictures:I know how you feel Paul. I think it is insensitive of others who don’t get it. My Dad went to one of the camps right at the end of the war and couldn’t talk about it. We didn’t know about PTSD then.

@jannarden Love how folks are giving you ideas to make your life less stressful. So many good people out there!

I am following with concern the increase of tensions that threaten to inflict a new blow to peace in Ukraine and call into question the security of the European Continent. Therefore, I propose that next Wednesday, 26 January be a day of prayer for peace.

It is only by paying attention to whom we listen, to what we listen, and to how we listen that we can grow in the art of communicating, the heart of which is not a theory or a technique, but the openness of heart that makes closeness posible. #WCD https://t.co/K9xSdRWgdI

Lack of charity causes unhappiness, because love alone satisfies the human heart.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Dear sister or brother, if as in Bethlehem, the darkness of night overwhelms you, if the hurt you carry inside cries out "You are worthless", tonight God responds and tells you: “I love you just as you are. I became little for you. Trust me and open your heart to me". #Christmas

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

We’re all called to contribute courageously and decisively to respect everyone’s basic rights, especially of those who are ‘invisible’: the hungry and thirsty, the naked, the sick, strangers or prisoners, those living on the margins or are discarded from society. #HumanRightsDay
