[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.

More than 200 church choirs aimed at children and young people will be launched as part of a new initiative in partnership with the Royal School of Church Music, helping them rediscover music as a pathway to mission and discipleship.

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.

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.
Pray with us today, on the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine. π

Pope Leo XIV on "structures of sin" today:
βSin, 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.
Thanks to Andrew McGowan for this π

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.
We look back on the life and legacy of civil rights icon Reverend Jesse Jackson, who died Tuesday at the age of 84. From marching with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to building the Rainbow Coalition in his two presidential runs and beyond,

This is a really important report!
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.
Russia does not actually need a rare tree frog from Ecuador to get the toxin that killed Navalny
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.

Again, I very much hope that these works (my book and Caleb's very kind review) can be a help to many, by grace.
Imagine a CEO posting that racist video on their personal account, their chief spokesperson defending it and keeping it up for 12 hours, then blaming a βstafferβ for βerroneouslyβ posting itβ¦ and neither the CEO nor the spokesperson having to resign.
Almighty God, by whose grace alone we are accepted and called to your service: strengthen us by your Holy Spirit and make us worthy of our calling; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Pray with us. π
