Dios te salve, María,
llena eres de gracia;
el Señor es contigo.
Bendita Tú eres
entre todas las mujeres,
y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre, Jesús.
Santa María, Madre de Dios,
ruega por nosotros, pecadores,
ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte. Amén 🙏
I invite all to pray to the Lord that the visit of His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the Armenian Apostolic Church of the Holy See of Cilicia, may constitute a further step on the path towards full unity. Let us also pray for #peace in Lebanon and the Middle East, once again torn apart by violence and war. #ChristianUnity
Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst all women, & blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.🙏🏾
Have a lovely day 😊
I do not care who gets mad at me for saying this: President Trump, Thank you for something far deeper than politics.
Thank you for waking up every morning at 79 years old and carrying a weight most people could never handle.
Thank you for the meals you missed, the family moments you never got back, the sleepless nights, the long flights, the endless pressure, and the burden of serving a country that never stops demanding more.
Thank you for getting back up every single time the world tried to bury you.
Thank you for enduring attacks, lies, betrayal, and pressure that would have broken most people for good.
Thank you for giving up comfort, privacy, peace, and the life you had built to sit in the hardest seat on earth and fight for this country.
You did not have to do any of this.
You already had the money, the success, the properties, the lifestyle, and the freedom.
You could have walked away.
Instead, you chose sacrifice.
You chose responsibility.
You chose America.
Thank you for everything you carried that so many never fully saw.
Thank you for every morning you chose this country over yourself.
We see you.
We appreciate you.
And we thank you.
God bless you.
God protect you.
And may God keep giving you the strength to carry what most people never could.
Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst all women, & blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.🙏🏾
Have a lovely day 😊

I witnessed something at a grocery store. Young man. Special needs. Bagging groceries. Proud of his job. Careful with every item. Older customer. Impatient. Rude. “Can you go any slower? I don’t have all day.”
Young man’s face. Crushed. Trying not to cry. Kept working. Slower now. Hands shaking. Manager noticed. Came over. “Sir your groceries are free today.” Customer looked shocked. “Why?” “Because you just taught my employee that some customers don’t deserve his excellent service.
I won’t charge you. But I will ask you to leave.”
Customer left. Angry. Embarrassed. Good. Young man looked at his manager. “You didn’t have to do that.” “Yes I did. Nobody talks to you like that. Not in my store. Not anywhere.”
Other customers started clapping. Small applause. Support. Recognition. Young man smiled. Started bagging again. Confident. Protected. Valued.
Manager told me afterward. “He’s the best employee I have. Never late. Never complains. Treats every customer like they matter.
He deserves the same respect.”
Started shopping there exclusively after that. Watching that young man work. Always patient. Always kind. Always careful. Learned his name. We talk now. He remembers what I buy. Asks about my family. Makes every visit personal.
Saw him training a new employee last month. Teaching her how to bag. How to treat customers. Passing on what he learned. Kindness. Care. Excellence. “Everyone deserves respect. Customers and workers. That’s what my manager taught me.”.
Sometimes the best managers don’t just run stores. They build dignity.

Its way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!
🇺🇸💪♥️ I do not care what anyone thinks about me for saying this today. Because President Trump deserves to hear it. And I am done waiting for the right moment. This is the right moment. President Trump, thank you. Not for a policy. Not for an executive order. Not for a rally or a speech or a headline. For something so much more personal than any of those things. Thank you for waking up every single morning at 79 years old, when staying in bed would have been so much easier. Thank you for skipping meals that went cold, for missing family moments that never came back, for traveling to countries most Americans cannot find on a map, for sitting in briefings before most of America opened its eyes, for carrying criticism that would have broken most people permanently, for getting back up every single time the world said stay down, for donating every single dollar of your salary, for giving up the most comfortable life imaginable to sit in the most uncomfortable chair on earth and carry the weight of 340 million people without once asking any of us to notice. You did not have to do any of this. You had everything…the money, the properties, the comfortable life, the peace…and you gave all of it away for a country that does not always stop to say thank you. And today I am stopping. Because I refuse to be part of that silence anymore.
Today, in front of every single American reading this, I want to say what most people feel but never actually say out loud. Thank you, President Trump, for everything you gave that we never asked for, for everything you carried that we never fully saw, for every morning you chose America over yourself. We see you. We feel it. And we are more grateful than words will ever fully capture. God bless you. God protect you. And God keep giving you the strength to carry what most of us could never lift. 🇺🇸💪♥️
