What an appalling speech the Mayor of New York delivered for the 250th anniversary of the nation.

Sadly, it reflects the view of America propagated for years by Howard Zinn and his like-minded colleagues in the universities and believed by armies of the young: a dark, oppressive country where common people are denigrated by tyrants and oligarchs, where immigrants are treated with contempt, where those with “soft hands” hold the wealth created by those with dirty hands.

No sensible person would claim that our country is without flaws, but the relentlessly negative picture painted by Mayor Mamdani is just absurd.

And it is the fruit of the Marxism that, sadly, is all the rage today.

U.S. Marines are shown receiving Holy Communion on Iwo Jima on March 3, 1945.

This historic photograph, taken by Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal on March 3, 1945, depicts three U.S. Marines kneeling on the volcanic sands of Iwo Jima as they receive Communion from a chaplain.

The men identified in the image are Private First Class Edmond L. Fadel, Private Walter M. Sokowski, and Private Nicholas A. Zingaro, taking part in a Catholic Mass conducted during the fierce fighting near Motoyama Airfield. The image endures as a striking symbol of faith and humanity amid one of the bloodiest island battles of World War II.

Pope Leo XIV carried a wooden cross for all 14 stations of the Way of the Cross at Rome's Colosseum during the Good Friday procession, becoming the first pontiff in decades to do so.

Crowds gathered outside the ancient ruins as the American pontiff carried the cross around the grounds, a procession that signified the final moments of Jesus' life.

St. Joseph,
Pray for us.

Jesus loves you.

Yes you.

A newly ordained priest stands with his mother, who holds the maniturgium in her hands. When she is called home to God, she will be buried holding the maniturgium, so that all in Heaven and on Earth will know that she is the mother of a priest.

Friends, Jesus calls us to love our enemies.

Today, I was struck by Erika Kirk’s granting of forgiveness to the man who killed her husband—a breathtaking moment of the Gospel on full display.

[Sr. Miriam James @onegroovynun]

Our Lady of Sorrows,
be with us at the foot
of our crosses.
May your strength, humility,
and love comfort us
and strengthen us
to love like your son,
Jesus.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Dear friends, today I turn seventy years old. I give thanks to the Lord and to my parents; and I thank all those who have remembered me in their prayers.

[Alex at Hallow @alexathallow]

Tens of thousands praying together for Annunciation yesterday and today in the prayer campaign on the app.

The principal just added a note.

Yesterday was the official launch of 988, the three-digit suicide-prevention number which will make accessing mental health support easier than ever before. To save lives, it's critical we continue to make changes like this so our people can access support when they need it most.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts, rockets and spacecraft”.

Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

[Lt. Governor Jacqueline Coleman @LtGovColeman]

Today’s Supreme Court ruling means that now in Kentucky, a 12-year-old girl who is raped and impregnated by her father, has no options.

It is unconscionable that this extreme, total ban provides no exception for that child or any other survivors of rape or incest. ^JC
