Truly an honor to meet and speak with Cardinal Simoni. His story of constant faith and perseverance is incredible. A big thanks to @ADAlbCommunity for helping facilitate this interview youtube.com/watch?v=vf_D5RzK…

Yesterday a majority of Virginians voted to enshrine ballot questions 1 and 2 in our state's Constitution, eliminating important health and safety regulations surrounding abortion and striking the good and true language affirming the sacred institution of marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Despite this tragic outcome, faithful Catholics can rejoice in knowing that God will not allow our efforts to be in vain.

Saint Bernadette, who saw the Blessed Virgin Mary 18 times in Lourdes, is an intercessor for healing. As her first-class relics tour the U.S., Roselle Reyes (@imrosellereyes) spoke to faithful venerating them in Washington, DC.

Tonight, Bishop Burbidge celebrated the annual Mass for Multicultural Communities at Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church, which was followed by a festival. In his homily, Bishop underscored how the Lord joins us together from many communities as one family and as brothers and sisters.
"We are here to encourage each other in faith and to ease the burdens of others. May we promise today to pray for one another and all those who are suffering in body and spirit."

The names of the Archangels are associated with their functions: protector, communicator, and healer. Ask Michael to give you strength to overcome temptation; Gabriel to help you to communicate the Gospel in word and deed; and Raphael to heal your anxiety and wounds.

He said, “The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised.” (Lk 9) #DailyGospel

God is always with me.
Always with you.
He never leaves you a moment,
so you're never alone.
He knows what we suffer.
We have to take our suffering
and unite it to His and say,
"Lord, I unite my headache
with Your Crown of Thorns.
I unite my aches and pains
with Your pain-wracked Body.
I unite my fears with
Your Agony in the Garden.
I unite my misunderstandings in my life
with all the times You were misunderstood."
You take what you have,
and you give it to the Lord.

Jesus tells us that no earthly relationship, possession, or activity should take precedence over our intimate relationship with God. Evaluate your priorities and make the necessary changes so your life is in proper order. Then, inner peace and genuine joy will follow.

Four Catholic nuns of the Missionaries of Charity were brutally murdered by Houthi militants on March 4, 2016, in Aden, Yemen. The nuns—two from Rwanda, one from India, and one from Kenya—were serving at a care home for the elderly and disabled when armed attackers stormed the facility and executed them along with twelve other staff members and volunteers.

St. Pius X: “Holy Communion is the shortest and safest way to heaven… The Rosary is the most beautiful and the most rich in graces of all prayers.” Avail yourself of both with consistency and renewed faith.

What is the Eucharist?
“I heard in my head, read John 6…when I read it in its entirety my mouth dropped and I was blown away…I said Lord that’s really You…”
