Religious liberty is for all Americans, and that’s exactly what Becket works to protect. This morning, on @foxandfriends, Becket’s @LoriWindham1 spoke about the importance of guaranteeing this fundamental right for generations to come. ⬇️

Rod Brind'Amour was asked about the meaning of last night's win for the fan base and the community.

His answer was A+.

Cyberdyne Systems, Cyber Research Systems, Skynet, and the Terminator were names introduced to us by James Cameron & Gale Hurd in 1984. The idea of an AI-driven, autonomous robotics and drone warfare technology company - funded by the U.S. MIC. 42 years from fiction to reality.

“Repentance brings humility, humility brings Grace, and Grace brings God’s peace into the soul.”

[new name ☦️ @human4christ]

“One who has pride within himself is spiritually ill. He may appear outwardly strong, learned, or virtuous, but inwardly he is tormented, because grace does not dwell in him. God does not reveal Himself to the proud man, because pride is darkness. The proud man wants to understand everything with his mind, but the things of God are known through humility and purity of heart.

When a person acquires humility, then divine illumination comes naturally. He no longer struggles to prove himself right, to conquer others in arguments, or to force his opinions onto people. He has peace. The humble man even sees his own faults as greater than those of others, and because of this, he receives great mercy from God.

Today people are filled with anxiety because they have distanced themselves from the simple spiritual life. They rely only on logic, on worldly knowledge, on their ego. But peace is not found there. Peace comes when a person cuts off his own will, repents sincerely, prays with pain of heart, and entrusts himself to God.

We must struggle with good spiritual philotimo. Christ does not ask from us impossible things. He asks for humility, repentance, love, patience, and trust in Him. Even a small humble effort attracts divine Grace. But the ego blocks Grace, just as a wire covered in rust cannot conduct electricity.

Do not seek lofty spiritual states. Seek repentance. Repentance brings humility, humility brings Grace, and Grace brings God’s peace into the soul. Then a person becomes spiritually healthy and quietly radiates Christ to others without even speaking much.”

I really didn’t have Bishop Barron playing and singing Bob Dylan on my bingo card for today. Very impressive.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

As many of you well know, Bob Dylan means a lot to me. His birthday is this Sunday, and I recorded his song “You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” in tribute to him. Happy 85th birthday, @bobdylan!

A Biden-era rule that would force Catholic groups to suppress their pro-life beliefs and profess support for employee abortions within their own ministries is back in court.

32 years ago today, Seamus Hasson opened Becket’s doors—the only nonprofit law firm dedicated to defending religious freedom for all. Since then, Becket has secured victories for people of all faiths in courts across the country and built an undefeated record at the Supreme Court with 13 wins.

“We need a rebirth of gratitude for those who have cared for us, living and, mostly, dead. The high moments of our way of life are their gifts to us. We must remember them in our thoughts and in our prayers; and in our deeds.”
