“When we look at our country today, we’ve lost the idea that we have obligations to one another. Some lives are not worthy of our concern.”

@BishopSeitz headlined this year’s @1lifela, and encouraged Catholics not to look away from suffering and need.

Love is the reason for Christmas, and love is the reason for our lives. That’s how we keep the joy of Christmas in our hearts every day — by loving others as Jesus loves them; by serving others, especially the people in our lives.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The powerful weapons used in modern wars threaten to lead us to a barbarism greater than that of the past. In the name of human dignity and international law, I repeat to those in positions of responsibility what Pope Francis used to say: 'War is always a defeat!' And with Pope Pius XII: 'Nothing is lost with peace. Everything can be lost with war.'

Last week, @archbishopgomez held a Mass for peace and unity amidst the LA immigration raids and protests. He called on faithful to continue Christ’s mission of creating one family of God from all the world’s people. Listen to his call:

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Peace is not a utopian ideal. #Peace is a humble path made up of daily actions, and is woven with patience, courage, listening, and action. Today more than ever, peace requires our vigilant and creative presence.

[Archdiocese of LA @lacatholics]

This week, @archbishopgomez reflects on our current immigration situation and how our “great nation can take the time and care to make distinctions and judge each case on its merits.”

This #FathersDay, we lift up all fathers — those with us and those who have gone before us. We thank God for the gift of their love and sacrifice and we entrust them to #StJoseph — may he guide, protect, and intercede for them!

[Abp. José H. Gomez @ArchbishopGomez]

I urge Congress to get serious about fixing our broken immigration system that leads so many to seek to cross our borders illegally. ... It’s been almost 40 years since the last reform of our immigration laws. That’s too long and it’s time to do something about that.
