Nothing says freedom and #America like a Lebanese-American Muslim police officer sacrificing his life on the #FourthofJuly, because he chose to serve and protect. #AnthonyDia #ToledoPolice – at Perrysburg, OH

We unite our prayers for Officer Anthony Dia, the 26 yr old Officer shot and killed in the line of duty early this morning, for his family and friends, for Chief George Kral and all the men and women of the Toledo Police Department, and for our city as we mourn his loss.

This Face disfigured by wounds communicates great peace. His gaze is directed not to our eyes but to our heart, as if to say: Have faith, do not lose hope. The power of the love of God, the power of the Risen One overcomes all things. #HolyShroud

The decision to grow a Lenten/Quarantine beard for the penitential itchiness came in the right year.
Must. Not. Itch.

Today, check in with your neighbors - IF you are healthy. One idea shared on social media is to share a note (printable here: buff.ly/2UdGDpj) in your at-risk neighbors' mailboxes to offer assistance. If you do leave a note for your neighbors, be sure your hands are clean
Brothers and Sisters - the practice of Making a Spiritual Communion is important in these days as it will be the primary means of receiving the graces of Holy Communion. Please see this message from our Bishop.

The wondrous event of the Transfiguration, recounted in the #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 17:1-9), opens us to a fuller understanding of the mystery of Christ, who must suffer, die and then rise again.
