"If a family member or friend told you that they are thinking of leaving the Church ... or that they are thinking about returning to Mass after a time away ... what would you say to them to give them #hope?" That question is posed to the guests of our #podcast Deacons Pod (@deaconspod.bsky.social):

This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to know more about what happens to people detained by ICE (and the families they're taken from), and what's happening at Delaney Hall in NJ now. Susan's perspective here is grounded in a year of direct ministry experience, and the clarity of the Gospel.

Matthew, Mark, Luke or John were not the first to share the news of Jesus. “The shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for all they had seen and heard!” Guys on the overnight and not highly regarded brought the good news first. How will you share the good news of Christ’s love in 2026?

If we realized that everything the human being does is motivated by two things: fear or love. Our God came among us to teach us how to love like He loves, and in doing so, suffered and defeated death, so that we might live in LOVE completely, without fear of death. How will you love today?
