Pope Francis consistently condemned the global arms trade as a moral scandal, a message made even more urgent by record-high military spending this year.

Dorothy Day’s Pro-Life Memories

I wish every woman who has ever suffered an abortion would come to know Dorothy Day. Her story was so typical.

Remember this? Well someone at my parish today told me someone had found the relic (a student in the school) and I GOT IT BACK. I am not going to lie, I was a bit emotional. Carlos Acutis, thank you for coming back.

@FrGoyo5 May 2024
I had a first class relic of CARLOS ACUTIS and I lost it three days ago and for three days all I want to do is cry. But I am still asking for his intercession. He “needs” a miracle and so do I. First class relic, please come back!!!
