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?'"

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.

Free #KilmarAbregoGarcia NOW!
Bring him back from #ElSalvador and return him to his family. Give him reparations for the cruel, inhumane & #unAmerican way in which he was mistakenly arrested and deported. And promising NEVER to let this happen again is one way you begin to Make America Great.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are #Catholic virtues.

We may not always get it right but we are obligated as followers of #Christ to keep trying. #DEI

The parable of the #Prodigal Son (actually, the Prodigal Father) shows how God treats us.

Knowing we will fail, fall and sin again, and again, and again,
God nonetheless showers us with forgiveness and blessings.

And only asks we treat each other with similar grace.

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.)

Please pray with us for His Holiness Pope Francis

Sister Dorothy Stang, SND, was brutally assassinated on Feb. 12, 2005, by two henchmen sent by wealthy landowners to end her ministry on behalf of poor Amazonian farmers in Para, Brazil.

When they blocked her path, she calmly turned back, reading Matthew's gospel "Blessed are the poor in spirit..."

Unlike in centuries past, when "saving souls" by making Catholics was the urgency and motivation of mission, today it's to bring good news to the poor, the oppressed, the least, the lonely and the lost that they are not alone, that they are important, that they have agency and they are loved by God.

Our Maryknoll transitional deacons, Patrick Okok and Matthew Sim, travelled to El Paso, TX with their rector, Fr Brian Barrons to meet the Most Reverend Mark J. Seitz, bishop of the El Paso, who will ordain them as missionary priests later in June this year.

Our Lady goes where people suffer most.

#JapaneseAmericans returned from #prisoncamps 80 years ago to face one of the country's 'greatest swindles' - Los Angeles Times

In those days, Maryknoll had missions among Japanese communities on the west coast. Several missioners went with the people into the camps.

Stay with those who suffer.
