[PIC] Mountains are ringed in reflection on the surface of a calm lake [TEXT] Lord, we lift up all who are sick, suffering or in need of Your healing and comfort. Surround them with Your peace, strengthen their bodies and spirits and let them feel Your presence near. Provide what they need, Lord - whether rest, hope or help from others. May Your love be their refuge and their light in the darkness.

We have several Iranian immigrant neighbors. I checked in with one today and the news and photos she shared broke my heart.

Pray for the brave people of Iran.

I think I have understood the Beatitudes better, as literature and everything else, in the last year than ever in my life. Just the language I know.

I know I’m a slow processor on this stuff, and re Gorton and Denton I have no specific skin in that constituency, but a PM calling people who vote Green β€˜extremists’ is a *really* bad look …

A PRAYER FOR UKRAINE

Most holy God and Father,
hear our prayers for all who strive for peace
and all who fight for justice.
Help us, who today remember the cost of war,
to work for a better tomorrow;
and, as we commend to you
lives lost in terror and conflict,
bring us all, in the end,
to the peace of your presence;
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Pope Leo XIV on "structures of sin" today:

β€œSin, of course, is personal, but it takes shape in the real and virtual environments we frequent, in the attitudes we use to influence one another, often within actual 'structures of sin' of an economic, cultural, political, and even religious nature.

Today is Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of the season of Lent. ✝️

At church services today, people will have a cross of ash marked on their foreheads, to symbolise mortality and repentance.

Today is #ShroveTuesday, the day before the start of #Lent.
The name is derived from the word shrive, meaning to absolve. It is a day of penitence when Christians confess their sins and receive forgiveness, as well as a day of celebration before the abstinence of Lent.

Not enough attention is given to the fact that Trump has not only ended all US aid to Ukraine but is actively exploiting the onslaught against Ukrainians to make profit - which he openly and regularly brags about to Americans.

2 types of people are in the trump admin. They are either in the Epstein Files or covering up the Epstein Files.

The system is rigged β€” and Trump wants to keep it that way because his own power depends on it.

What drives Trump is simple: he cares more about protecting the interests of those with power than those with none.

So when he and his regime lash out about Epstein, understand why.
