“One sole desire makes my heart beat, and it is the love I shall receive and the love I shall be able to give.”

~St. Thérèse of Lisieux

It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”

Does anyone else struggle with letting go of plans & being at peace with not doing things while sick?

I suppose I should see it as an opportunity to practice patience with myself. And to be grateful for when I feel better. 😉🙏

A voice for life: Pope Leo's witness to human dignity, from college student to cardinal Villanova’s pro-life club, once joined by Pope Leo XIV, reflects on his lifelong commitment to the sanctity of life and pro-life advocacy.

A wealth of questionable information about Pope Leo XIV & his pro-life position is in the news cycle.

But some things we know:
1. He belonged to Villanovans for Life
2. He attended the March for Life in D.C.
3. He has spoken about the sanctity of human life www.oursundayvisitor.com/a-voice-for-...

St. Thérèse of Lisieux and her trust in God's merciful love still resonate with faithful Bishop Hying reflects on St. Thérèse's lasting impact, as her "little way" of love continues to inspire holiness and hope in the Church.

Happy 100th anniversary of St. Thérèse of Lisieux’s canonization! 🌹

“God loves us, all of us. We are all in the hands of God. Without fear, united, hand in hand with God and among ourselves, we will go forward. We are disciples of Christ, Christ goes before us, and the world needs His light. Humanity needs Him like a bridge to reach God and His love.” - Leo XIV

To remain a little child before God is “to recognize our nothingness, to expect everything from God as a little child expects everything from its father.”

~St. Thérèse of Lisieux

So interesting — my last post got labeled for “non-sexual nudity” by @bsky.app because it shows Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel fresco of “The Last Judgment.”

New to this so… Anyone know if something like this is a mistake?

Why do cardinals face 'The Last Judgment' when they cast their papal vote? Cardinals vote for the next pope under Michelangelo’s "The Last Judgment," a powerful symbol of divine accountability.

When the cardinals of the Catholic Church vote for the next pope, they will do so in front of a masterpiece: Michelangelo’s fresco of “The Last Judgment.”

There’s significance behind this, according to Rome-based art historian Elizabeth Lev.

‘The young pope’: Pope Francis’ legacy with young people - OSV News Young adults shared how Pope Francis personally impacted -- and continues to impact -- their lives. He saw them, they said, not as the church's future, but as the church now.

Wyatt Olivas still remembers when he met Pope Francis as the youngest delegate at the Synod on Synodality at 19.

“As soon as we locked eyes … this calmness came over me — and it felt like the feeling of home and ‘you belong.'”

If you need a friend or help with a special intention this week, consider turning to St. Thérèse of Lisieux:

“If God answers my desires, my heaven will be spent on earth until the end of the world. Yes, I want to spend my heaven in doing good on earth.”

“I’d be glad to bear the greatest sufferings when this would be for the purpose of making Him smile only once.”

~St. Thérèse of Lisieux

I remember seeing Pope Francis twice: His visit to D.C. in 2015 & World Youth Day in Kraków in 2016.

Two things struck me:
1) He saw, listened to, and believed in young people.
2) He always asked people to pray for him. (It's something I try to do now too!)
