Popes condemning war.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God” - Matthew 5:9

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In recent years, many young people have approached the faith through social media, successful programs and popular online Christian witnesses. The danger is that a faith discovered online is limited to individual experiences, which may be intellectually and emotionally reassuring, but never “embodied.” Such experiences remain “disembodied,” detached from the “ecclesial body.”

“Don’t let the algorithm write your story! Be the authors: use technology wisely, but don’t let technology use you.”

I’ve had too many convos this week with brands scrambling for Q4.

So I recorded a quick video with what I’ve been telling people — the moves to make now to finish strong.

Aside from the obvious news of the day, there are a lot of dark things going about in our world, in our nation, in our communities, our families, and even in our own hearts.

This prayer of St. Ignatius of Loyola seems particularly appropriate for the moment:

God, come to our assistance.

Lord, make haste to help us.

The situation in Iran and Israel has deteriorated drastically. I renew my appeal to responsibility and reason. The commitment to build a safer world, free from nuclear threats, must be pursued through mutual respect and sincere dialogue, in order to build lasting peace founded on justice, fraternity, and the common good. No one should ever threaten the existence of another. It is the duty of all countries to support the cause of peace, initiating paths of reconciliation and promoting solutions that ensure security and dignity for all!

Is anyone else underwhelmed by #WWDC25 this year? Liquid glass feels like lipstick on a pig.

I'm wondering if Apple is starting to plateau as a major innovator in the tech space. Maybe the Steve Jobs roadmap is finally running out. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Less than 2 weeks ago he was just Bob

Now he is Peter, the rock

[Katie Prejean McGrady @KatiePMcGrady]

Folks are quick to compare Pope Leo to his predecessors & try & box him in so they can figure him out.

"no red shoes! he's a humble one!"

"back to the Apostolic Palace, he wants the pomp!"

"he SANG in LATIN! he is totally a secret trad"

Maybe we should just let Leo be Leo

I was going to explain the conclave, but a picture is worth a thousand words or in this case a long thread.

The whole world watching the Vatican chimney right now….

[Vatican News @VaticanNews]

Black smoke emerged from the chimney over the Sistine Chapel at 21:00 on Wednesday evening, signalling that a first ballot has been held at the conclave and has concluded without the election of a Pope.

At 9:45 AM, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Apostolic Chamber, announced the death of Pope Francis from the Casa Santa Marta with these words:

"Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father. His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church.

He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God."

[Vatican News @VaticanNews]

Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican's Casa Santa Marta.
