Looking froward to football this afternoon. For a few hours it will take my mind off of becoming a 3rd world country.

Pope Leo XIV denounced the “pandemic of arms, large and small,” as he prayed publicly for the victims of the shooting during a Catholic school Mass in the United States.

Today, remembering these words about #prayer from St. Teresa of Kolkata: "Prayer doesn't change things. Prayer changes people, people change things." #MinneapolisTragedy

“When the stranger in our midst appeals to us, we must not repeat the sins and the errors of the past. We must resolve now to live as nobly and as justly as possible, as we educate new generations not to turn their back on our ‘neighbors’ and everything around us.”

All nationalisms are antithetical to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Makes sense to me
