Today is the Feast of Blessed Franz Jägerstätter, who refused to take an oath of loyalty to Hitler and was martyred. He once said, "If the Church stays silent in the face of what is happening, what difference would it make if no church were ever opened again?" He was beheaded on 9th August 1943.

One of #PopeFrancis’ last public statements is a jewel. On Holy Thursday last week, he visited inmates in Rome’s Regina Coeli jail. When he left the prison, he commented: “Every time I enter these doors, I ask myself, ‘Why them and not me?'"

We have gained a great intercessor in heaven. And not a second too soon. We who continue the struggle here on earth could certainly use a big dose of resurrection power.

Eternal grant unto him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him.
May he and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen

A MORAL CRISIS
“The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored.
If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.”
Take 3 minutes. This is important.

As we prepare for Holy Week, recalling how the once mighty Roman Empire crucified a Jewish troublemaker in a remote part of the world 2,000 years ago, let us remember and honor those who sacrificed everything to bear witness to truth and faith in our modern world.

You see someone begging on the side of the road. What's your inner dialog like?
"They should get a job."
"They're probably an addict."
"They'll buy drugs or booze."
If you're a #Christian, how do you reconcile that with "Whatever you do to the least of my brothers & sisters..."
Matt. 25:40-41?

Lord #Jesus,
you interceded with the Father
for those who nailed you to the cross;
help us to love our enemies and pray
for those who injure us.

Jeffrey Goldberg on Trump not knowing about the Signal group chat: "I alerted the White House shortly after 9:00 in the morning."
Expecting Trump to solve the nation’s problems is like expecting cigarettes to cure cancer.🙄

Today the #Church celebrates the Solemnity of the #Annunciation, when the Creator of the Universe entered into Creation through the agency and acceptance of a 14-year old girl.
Mary's "yes" to Gabriel forever changed the course of human history.
(Oh, and it's only nine months till Christmas.)

Serving the poor/helpless reflects the gospel.
God helped us in our need.
Unmerited, free grace.
When we help those in need, we do the same.
Yes, employ wisdom.
But also remember the generous grace of God towards you and give it just as generously.
