Lavaos, purificaos, apartad de mi vista vuestras malas acciones. Dejad de hacer el mal, aprended a hacer el bien. Buscad la justicia, socorred al oprimido, proteged el derecho del huérfano, defended a la viuda. - el profeta Isaías (1.16-17) #Cuaresma

Forgive us for failing to see Christ in the poor, the distressed and the troublesome, and for our failure to reverence your Son in their persons. Instruct us, Lord, in the ways of your kingdom.

Help us to work with you in making all things new in Christ, & in spreading justice & peace throughout the world. Teach us the meaning & value of creation, so that we may join its voice to ours as we sing your praise. Instruct us, Lord, in the ways of your kingdom.

From arresting & trying to deport protestor Mahmoud Khalil, a legal resident whose wife is pregnant w their first child, to President's assertion that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is not Jewish anymore but Palestinian, state-sponsored weaponization of anti-semitism & racism is accelerating.

As Catholics [& other Christians & people of faith & good will], we are called to protect people living in poverty. Catholic social teaching emphasizes the responsibility of wealthier nations to support poorer ones, and the principle of solidarity—that we are a global community and one human family.

There are families who will never be able to come back from this devastation, and many of them were in generational homes, passed down from people who bought homes in the 1970sand 80's in Altadena. All of the fires are a tragedy, but especially for those who don't have the resources to rebuild.

Deeply grateful to President Biden & all those who advocated for today's 37 commutations. And praying for Robert Bowers, Dylann Roof, & Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to be spared as well. Catholic opposition to death penalty is not based on nature of crimes but protection & sacredness of human life & dignity.

Here's the truth: Elon Musk doesn't want any restrictions on his investments in China, and that's why we're on the brink of a government shutdown. This is the first scandal of Trump's second term, and it'll look like a lot of the others: putting personal financial interests above the country's.

There’s a mundane reason for the late-term chaos, and it’s called a conflict of interest.
