Lent reminds us who we are: ministers of God’s mercy. This season invites us to release grudges, forget insults, and choose reconciliation. Mercy received becomes mercy shared - and hearts are made new. #ThoughtForTheDay inspired by St. Eugene de Mazenod 🙏✨

In some countries the priests place the ashes on top of the head rather than on the forehead. That would be my preference.

Sometimes you just need a laugh.

They don’t need to reinvent the wheel but just look at how other countries are doing it.

Alex Pretti will be remembered for his courage to stare evil in the face and not let it get in the way of his innate goodness to do the right thing. I like to believe the courageous Olympic athletes who are speaking out in defence of truth are partly inspired by Alex, the hero and martyr.

He’s cute only when that tail is hidden.

only love can do that.”

I understand.

I’ve seen the Niagara Falls 🇨🇦 many times, and they never fail to leave me in awe. But winter adds a whole new layer of wonder ❄️ The icy mist, frozen edges, and thunderous power feel almost sacred - nature reminding us to pause, breathe, and marvel at beauty that never grows old.

“To those who are deeply involved in the life of the Church I look forward to meeting you, listening to you and serving with you. To those who may feel distant or uncertain, please, know that you have a place in the diocesan family. The Church is for everyone.” Bp Joseph Dabrowski CSMA - Feb 2, 2026

ICE is a lawless organization that must be abolished. Stephen Miller will go down on his own.

Will “he made me do it” hold up in a court of law?

This is a beautiful tribute to Alex a virtuous man. His final selfless act as a Good Samaritan, as someone who didn’t hesitate to help a fellow human in distress, showed the world what charity and love looks like. 🙏❤️

Yes, having a PhD in political science is very impressive but I believe the Cardinal will remain humble.
Thank you to the American Cardinals for reflecting the light of Christ’s teachings.

When anxiety shakes us, God invites deeper trust. Even in alarm, He does not remove our confidence - He refines it. Turn to prayer with tenderness. Trust grows there, and hope steadies the heart. #ThoughtForTheDay inspired by St. Eugene de Mazenod 🙏✨

Editorial: The church speaks out. A new era has dawned. It is a new level of opposition for American cardinals to formally question the fundamental morality of an administration's engagement with the world.

We have asked previously what it means to be a Catholic in this country at this moment. The American hierarchy has begun to answer the question and it cannot be surprising that the answer is more challenging than comforting.

“Cupich, Tobin, McElroy are stepping out in courage, and are rescuing the fullness of Catholic teaching in all of its richness and authority.”

Our Church advocating for peace and human dignity. Thank you.

Let Martin Luther King Day be the “spark that gets the fire going.” The spark of hope and peace.

Where is the denouncement of the violent mistreatment by ICE and demanding that the government respect the God given dignity of every human life?

That loyalty to government rises above his duty and obligation to guide the faithful to the path of truth in moments of torment is profoundly disappointing.

Agree. She diminishes the honour bestowed upon her by giving it to a man who lies and instigates hate. He is the opposite of what the Peace Prize stands for.

On the other hand she exposes to the world that Trump can be easily bought by something shiny and gold.

In Case No One Told You, Racism Is A Sin For the record, in case there was any doubt, racism is a sin. It may not be one of those sins you hear sermons about here in America...

The video had millions of views. Thankfully, many of my fellow Catholics were screaming at him in the comments, but no words seemed strong enough.

A myriad of angry responses went through my mind in quick succession.

This is a must read for everyone. Highly recommend Mary’s powerful message in her article.

My wish is that every parish publish your article in their church bulletin or read it from the pulpit.
It’s powerful and everything you wrote is true. Great article.

Yes, and If not now, when?

Horrific and heartbreaking. The people are pushing back and risking their lives but they can’t do it without moral leadership.
