I know it’s way to late to make new year revelations but I’m resolved to keep on listening to Fr Mike on you tube.

The Bible in a year
&
The Catechism in a year

Are absolutely brilliant, why not resolve to learn more of our precious Faith by them?

In 1970 nearly 50% of the money you spent in the UK went back to Government and Public Services.

Coal, Oil, Gas, Electricity, Water, Public Transport, Social Housing, Telecoms, Shipbuilding, Steel...

All nationalised.

Now 95% of your money goes to tax dodging billionaires.

Last year, Trump described some 'religious leaders' as "unbelievable supporters of what we're doing".
The group included Minnesota Bishop Robert Barron,
who applauded when Trump was hailed as "the greatest champion of faith we've ever had".
Thankfully, other U.S. bishops see things differently!

Nigel Farage has just called for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance

They’ll be suggesting we send kids up chimneys next

Whatever you do JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM
🚨Gorton and Denton by-election

Surely by now we can all see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities to gain support.

We are so much better than that.

DON’T BE TAKEN IN BY THE DIVISIVE POLITICS OF REFORM

The strikingly soft tone in stark contrast to ICE aggression is very effective.

Reminds me of the Estonian Singing Revolution.

Keep it up #Minneapolis. Sing your way to peace and a better world.

#IceOut
A 2,000 strong MN choir sing outside #Minneapolis Marriott to the ICE paramilitary . Be "Minnesota nice." ICE can't handle it.

Just been reading about Elisha in 2 King's ch 4 of amazing miracles:

Miraculous abundance of oil
A son conceived in old age
Son dies & raised to life
Miraculous feeding of 100 men with just 20 barley loaves with some kept over.

Thought I'd jumped to the New Testament :)

Our God is real! 🙏🕊

Nearly one thousand healthcare workers turned out to honor Alex Pretti yesterday at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center (see link in comments). Healthcare workers know self-sacrificing goodness when they see it. Pretti was raised Catholic, as I describe here: edeninexile.substack.com/p/alex-prett...

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."
