Fresh off audience with Pope, Cupich’s Saturday missive lambasting the White House over Iran war represents a welcome shift in tone. Cardinals speak for the Pope; they are his closest collaborators. Cupich’s message is a signal to the episcopacy that business as usual is not enough…more is needed.

“Faith without GOOD works is dead, like a body without spirit” What one good thing did you do today for another person without taking credit for it? It doesn’t have to be big. It doesn’t have to be grand. But it does have to be.

1st Amendment cancelled in DeSantis Florida: the Florida Highway Patrol arrested 3 protesters who dared to color with chalk the crosswalk in Orlando. Apparently cops have nothing else to do and the taxpayers can afford to pay for those useless police operations.

A “GOD” box is a long utilized prayer tool for stress and worry and wishes & dreams we wish to express to the Divine. When good things come in you put them in the God box. When worries or fears take over, write them down & put them in the box.You don’t stop caring.You stop worry & remember the good.

“Looking without walking by, halting the frantic pace of our lives, allowing the lives of others, whoever they may be, with their needs and troubles, to touch our heart. That is what makes us neighbors to one another, what generates true fraternity and breaks down walls and barriers.”
