Wearing a mask over your nose and mouth is a prolife activity. It’s not a political act, it’s a moral one, intended to love your neighbors as yourself. You don’t know whether the person in the supermarket is a cancer survivor or has other risks. Protect them.
@ibramskyheart @theghissilent We believe baptism is necessary for salvation because it washes away the stain of original sin. At some point in the life of the individual they need to make a conscious choice to say yes to their baptism. They do this by having first communion and later by joining the church.
IMPORTANT: Speaking up against Israeli war crimes and atrocious human rights violations against Palestinians does NOT make you antisemetic. It makes you HUMAN.
PS: Don’t let anyone make you believe otherwise. Speak your peace. Stand for the oppressed. Unite around justice.
@SusieOHayward @Pontifex It never ceases to amaze me when people think they know more than the Pope, our church’s supreme teacher and highest authority.
Let us pray constantly that the Israelis and Palestinians may find the path of dialogue and forgiveness. Let us pray for the victims, in particular for the children; let us pray for peace.
Gospel: "Love one another" says Jesus today (Jn 15). Not execute one another with a firing squad, or refuse to feed one another, or deny one another a safe place to live when they're on the run, or even condemn one another. But leave the judging to God, and love one another.
.@BishopCaggiano: "We are not going to bring people to faith by arguing with them, or chastising them, or by punishing them, or by judging them. We are going to bring people to the feet of Jesus by loving them, by being living bridges from their heart to His." #homilytweet
Pope Francis: "The Eucharist, although it is the fullness of sacramental life, is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak."
