“It’s been bewildering from the shock [and] the feeling of betrayal when you see prominent wht Catholics who claim to be pro-life saying & doing everything to deflect away from dealing w the issue of police brutality & racism as it affects the blk cmty.” https://t.co/yLrD8dXef1
it took 901 days for news of emancipation to reach slaves in Galveston, TX on June 19, 1865. we LAMENT our original sin, we CELEBRATE #Juneteenth, and we HONOR those who were enslaved by PRAYING + WORKING for racial JUSTICE + HEALING. Lord, help us and heal us, amen!
Great leadership and character is revealed in the face of tragedy and chaos. Think hard about what you see leaders actually doing and not just tweeting.
We are bringing the full force of goodness and righteousness to restore order on our streets tonight. Please be safe, please help our communities, and please stay home.
Gov. Walz and local authorities say outsiders had hijacked what had started as peaceful protests over the killing of George Floyd.
St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter says: “I hear them say, 'We don't know these folks who are agitating.’”

The owner of Gandhi Mahal, a (very delicious) local restaurant in South Minneapolis that was damaged in the fires last night: "Let my building burn, justice needs to be served."
@MattWalshBlog Maybe you could tweet about his bad policy or mistakes that you disagree with instead of name calling and insults. How does that help? Oh and being effeminate makes someone weak? Nice touch. Do better as a follower of Jesus and a Catholic.
Former Officer Chauvin's actions were horrific. His arrest is a good first step toward justice for George Floyd. But it doesn't change the systemic problems and persistent inequities that led to his death or the pain our communities live with every day. We’re committed to change.
@girlwithnojob LOL to some of these responses. Depends how bored people are today. "Do we feel like ruining someone's life, taking away their livelihood, and publicly shaming them over a standard that is changing day to day today?" Some of ya'll need to take a breath.
Look for precedents in unprecedented times.
Here’s a few;
God is always faithful (Heb 10:23)
God is with us (Josh 1:9)
God is for us (Rom 8:31)
God is good (psalm 119:68)
God does good (Psalm 119:68)
God delivers (Psalm 34:4)
God sustains (psalm 54:4)
God hears (Psalm 66:19)
Minister, you do not have time to miss your time alone with God. You’ll do 10 times the work trying to craft messages, create environments & curate images that, at best, possess all the color and crackle of real fire without a whit of holy heat. Production can’t produce Presence.
When you're struggling to see your vision come to fruition, remember Galatians 6:9. Don't give up on what God has called you to do and where he has called you to lead. Although you may not see results at this moment in time, you are planting the seeds that need to be sown!
