Pope Leo XIV sends a heart felt video message to young Catholics in Iraq:
“It is not always easy to be a light in the world. Indeed, at the present time, you are called to radiate this light in a situation that has often been marked by war and instability. The Lord has placed great trust in you in bestowing upon you this mission, and I too have great confidence in all of you. You must be Christ’s light in the midst of a darkness that can, at times, seem overwhelming. Do not be afraid! And do not think that you are alone in this task. I am with you; the Church is with you. Place your trust in Jesus; listen to him in prayer and through the guidance of others, and allow him to lead you.”
Today (July 6) the Church celebrates St. Maria Goretti, the young Italian martyr of purity and forgiveness. At just 11 years old, she was fatally attacked after resisting an assault by her neighbor, Alessandro Serenelli. Before her death, she forgave him, praying that he would one day be with her in heaven.
Deeply devoted to the Passion of Christ, Maria was spiritually formed by the Passionist Fathers, whose preaching on Christ’s suffering shaped her faith and inspired her heroic forgiveness. Canonized in 1950, she remains a powerful witness that holiness is possible at any age.
Prayer can truly change your life, for it turns your attention away from yourself and directs your mind and your heart
towards the Lord.
ST. JOHN PAUL II”
“What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”

🚨#BREAKING: A 28-year-old confirms he has spent the last 10 YEARS of his life interviewing World War II combat veterans to keep their stories alive...
...in fact, for the last 10 years, he has interviewed World War 2 veterans EVERY SINGLE DAY
He started as a teenager, ditching school to ride his BIKE to the local retirement home, walking up to the front desk and asking to, "meet some World War II heroes."
His name is Rishi Sharma.
He's crossed all 50 states and half the world.
He's slept in his car and lived on gas-station food to afford it.
He asks these men for hours of their memories, and then he hands the entire recording to their families...
...FOR FREE
So that 200 years from now, a great-great-grandchild will know not just their hero's name, but how he laughed, how he cried, and what he sacrificed.
Rishi has no military family, his parents immigrated here from India.
He does it out of pure gratitude.
In his words:
"My parents were given the opportunity to immigrate and raise a family because of veterans like these. It's a debt of love I'll spend my entire life trying to repay..."
As one 100-year-old Marine who stormed Iwo Jima told him, remembering the flag going up:
"The hair on my arms still stands up when I think about how beautiful it was."
THAT is America.
250 years of ordinary people doing extraordinary things...
God bless our veterans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
250 years ago, a bold idea changed the course of history. Today we celebrate the people, principles, and enduring promise of the United States of America.
Happy 4th of July from the White House. 🇺🇸
🔥 HELL YEAH! A pilot just used his airplane to draw a USA 250th banner using his flight path
It took him over FIVE HOURS of flying time to do this.
What a PATRIOT! 🇺🇸

Remarkable.
🚨 Pope Leo XIV has issued a letter to the American people on their 250th anniversary:
'May the spirit of 1776 continue to inspire hope and unity as the United States of America moves into the future. In assuring all of you of my prayers in your renewed efforts to strengthen the nation in the principles that guided its Founding Fathers, I entrust you to the intercession of the Immaculate Conception, patroness of this country, that she will continue to watch over America and protect all who dwell therein'
«Perdonar no significa negar el mal, sino impedir que genere más mal. No es decir que no haya pasado nada, sino hacer todo lo posible para que no sea el rencor el que decida el futuro».
- Papa León XIV
