Let us pray in thanksgiving for God’s mercy and generosity in the virtues He shares with us through His grace – hope, humility, courage, and the patience we need in this season of contemplative, hope-filled waiting. 🙏

And if every person is worth that search,... then we are all called to open our hearts to embrace everyone as our sisters and brothers of one human family. Unity begins here: seeing each person – especially the weary, the angry, the unseen – as worth crossing deserts for.

...because within the “Mercy Math” of God’s Divine Rubric, one × infinity equals ninety-nine × infinity, and each of us is created with infinite dignity. (cf. Dignitas Infinita, 2024 – affirming every human being’s “infinite and inalienable dignity,” Vatican Press)

We pray for the victims, for #GovernorDeSantis, and for these two men — that God’s mercy may reach those most in need of it, as St. Faustina taught in the #ChapletOfDivineMercy.

From the moment of conception, all life has infinite dignity by virtue of our belief that we are created in the image of God (cf. CCC 1700; 1703). The Church is clear: in today’s world, capital punishment is morally inadmissible (CCC 2267). 3 of 4

... our Church in the US continues to both raise awareness of racism – including w/in the Church – & learns to move in bolder ways that invite us all, including our leaders, to be accountable.

...To do less is not only an injustice to them; it obscures God’s glory by keeping society in the bondage of ignorance. 10/13

Yet today, as Catholics who recognize our baptismal responsibilities, we know we are called to stand in solidarity with our Black sisters and brothers, Catholic and otherwise, and to honor their rightful place in our history…. 9/13

...At the same time, we acknowledge the Church’s sinful failures – acts of commission and omission – that continued well into the 20th century. 8/13

The historical record suggests that the Church, at least in this moment, played a primarily Christian role, albeit with worldliness, in helping free these enslaved people…. 7/13

It also makes us wonder: What happened to the descendants of these pioneers of freedom? 6/13

...And if we want an honest account of American Catholic history, we must include these Spanish-colonial chapters, not only the British and Protestant we usually hear about. 5/13

This happened for several intertwined reasons, including both faith and geopolitical strategy. It reminds us that parts of what is now America – including Black Catholic communities – were formed under Spanish Catholic influence long before the United States existed.... 4/13

One such truth is the community that emerged in St. Augustine, Florida – the settlement known as Fort Mose – where freed slaves built a life of Catholic faith and freedom under Spanish rule more than a century before the American Revolution. 2/13
