The Pope continues: “We are thus witnesses to two opposing forces: on the one hand, the revelation of God, who presents himself as the almighty Lord and Savior; and on the other, the hidden schemes of powerful authorities who are eager to kill without scruples.  Does this not also happen today?  Where these forces converge, there lies the sign of Jesus: the giving of one’s life.  This sign is foreshadowed in the resurrection of Lazarus, which is the closest prophecy of the events that would later unfold in the passion, death and resurrection of Christ.  At Passover, the Son would fulfil the Father’s work through the power of the Holy Spirit.  Just as God brought life into being from nothing at the beginning of time, so in the fullness of time he redeems every life from death, the source of destruction in creation.”

Magnificent reflection by Pope Leo XIV in Monaco today, on the Jewish leaders plot to kill Jesus: “Rather than recognizing the Nazarene as the Messiah — the long-awaited Christ — the religious leaders saw him as a threat.  As teachers of the Law, their vision was so distorted that they violated the precepts of the Law themselves.  Forgetting God’s promise to his people, they sought to kill the innocent, and behind their fear lay a desire to keep hold of power.  Although they had forgotten the Law, which commands, “Thou shalt not kill,” God did not forget the promise that would prepare the world for salvation.  His providence turned that murderous verdict into the means of revealing an act of supreme love: however wicked Caiaphas may have been, he “prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation””

Step 1 in deescalation must be restraining the Israelis, otherwise all efforts to negotiate will follow this pattern:

POTUS publicly announces deescalation.

Israel takes major strikes to destroy the negotiations & in turn weaken our ability to negotiate.

The war accelerates.

After Mom died, I asked dad if he wanted to move into the rectory with me, and he agreed.
His first night in the rectory, the emergency line rang at 2:30 AM.
I jumped out of bed and threw my Cassock on and opened my bedroom door to find dad standing there with his rosary and iPad in hand.
He has joined me for every hospice, hospital, and death call since he moved in with me.
He stays in the car and prays his rosary, and if I take too long, he plays sudoku.
This is the man I was blessed to grow up with, a man he has spent 89 years becoming.
This is the man I model my life after.
Fidelity, service, strength under control, sacrifice…all of that and more.
Happy birthday dad.
I love you so very much.

Meet Noora Shalash, Director of Government Affairs for CAIR-Kentucky.

She really let the mask slip that this is a harmless civil rights organization when she yells “I demand Jihad, I want ISIS to kill all of you.”

You're going to see folks in the media and on the left attempt to claim the legacy of Leo XIII as being one of borderline socialist economic tendencies.

They're wrong.

Here is Secretary Marco Rubio talking about the economic thought of Leo XIII in 2019:
