Q: "You just hit the game-winning shot in an NBA Finals game in front of your home crowd. How does that feel?" OG Anunoby: "Uh, it feels cool. I mean, everyone's pretty excited. I'm excited too"

Every human being is worthy by the mere fact of having been willed, created, and loved by God. There is no situation that causes the Lord to turn His gaze away from us. It is a consoling truth that accompanies us at all times and reminds us that His merciful love always outweighs whatever good or evil we may have done. #ApostolicJourney vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

I asked Sen. Bernie Sanders if there's concern sexual assault allegations could come out on Graham Platner after the #MESen candidate privately assuranced Dems there's no "credible" forthcoming claims Sanders: "Who are you with?" Me: "The Examiner." Sanders: "Why don't we examine income and wealth inequality?" Platner previously denied anything else would come to light before the extramarital sexting news.

No nation, no society, and no international order can call itself just and humane if it measures its success solely by power or prosperity while neglecting those who live at the margins. Indeed, Christ’s love for the least and the forgotten compels us to reject every form of selfishness that leaves the poor and the vulnerable invisible.

Remember when people wore a long sleeve tshirt under a short sleeve tshirt and it meant you liked music.

ok here's the trick to having a healthy relationship with a man: he should be a communist and also a little gay

Teaching means forming people to listen to the heart, to inner freedom and the capacity for critical thinking. In this dynamic, faith and reason neither ignore nor oppose one another. They should both be traveling companions in the humble and sincere search for truth.

Wow. The Pope was just asked his stance on migration. His answer is amazing: “I would change the question: what is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate.”

If the two disciples of Emmaus recognize Jesus when He breaks the bread for them, we too should recognize Him in this way. Not just in the Eucharist, but wherever there is a life that becomes broken bread, wherever someone makes a compassionate gift of themselves, like He did. With the grace of the Risen Christ, we can become this broken bread that transforms reality. #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 24:13–35) #ApostolicJourney #Angola

Each act of solidarity and forgiveness, every good effort, becomes a morsel of bread for humanity in need of care. Yet this alone is not enough: the food that sustains the body must be accompanied, with equal charity, by nourishment for the soul — a nourishment that sustains our conscience and steadies us in dark hours of fear and amid the shadows of suffering. This food is Christ himself, who always gives his Church abundant sustenance and strengthens us on our journey by giving us his Eucharistic Body.

I stand with my brother in Christ, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, in his courageous call for a kingdom of peace. As I prepare to visit Rome later this month to meet and pray with Pope Leo, I am mindful of his call to keep our eyes open to the suffering of the world, and our gaze fixed on our crucified and risen Lord Jesus Christ – the image of the invisible God, in whose image and likeness every human being is made. In him, we recognise that we are children of the one Father and members of a single human family. Prayer is not an escape from the world, nor a turning away from injustice; rather, it is a turning towards God in the midst of it, confronting evil, seeking God’s will, and becoming instruments of transformation and peace.

God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

Death is always lurking. We see it in violence, in the wounds of the world, in the cry of pain that rises from every corner because of the abuses that crush the weakest among us, because of the idolatry of profit that plunders the earth’s resources, because of the violence of war

The cross is part of the mission. The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday

Pope Leo XIV at Mass in Monaco decries wealth turned into greed as idolatory: "Idolators are narrow minded people who look at what captivates their gaze. The great and wonderful things of the earth are turned into idols, bringing about forms of slavery. Not for those who lack these things, but for those who gorge themselves leaving their neighbours in misery and sorrow. Liberation from idols is that deliverance from powers understood as dominions, from wealth turned into greed, and from vanity masquerading as beauty."

Pope Leo made a plea on Wednesday for countries to offer their ​citizens universal healthcare, calling it a "moral imperative" that ‌people have access to the health services they need, in an unusually strong appeal. For @Reuters reuters.com/business/healt…
