    I'm not Catholic either, but am glad when people claim to be spiritual leaders are actually spiritual leaders.

    Hospitality means we take people into the space that is our lives and our minds and our hearts and our work and our efforts.  Hospitality is the way we come out of ourselves.  It is the first step towards dismantling the barriers of the world.  Hospitality is the way we turn a prejudiced world around, one heart at a time.

    I heard an interesting statistic yesterday. There are almost as many Catholics in the US (~53 million in 2024) as there are Italians in Italy (59.2 million in 2025).

    The more we let each voice sing out with its own true tone, the richer will be the diversity of the chant in unison.

    Ruth that is one of the saddest pictures ever. I wonder if that little girl will ever be able to trust anyone or anything again. The outrage should be huge but I fear it is a picture many have already seen and not been able to do much about.

    I so hope and pray that much of what I hear will in fact turn out to be REALLY true. That Trump collapses himself and the Reps. party and that election time will bring ample proof that the Reps. have finally gone way too far and that most will be voted out (all the worst and few others to boot) and we can get back to trying to restore ourselves. We will need someone like Biden — only a lot younger. I have hope.

    You know soon Trump will be disavowing Pope Leo as a fake left plant.

    I am getting a kick over how Chicago is embracing the new pope!

    Strength is a capacity for endurance.  One of the dividends of suffering is the universal discovery we possess a strength within us we never knew we had.  Navigating through a difficult episode not only shows us that inner strength is there but convinces us it will always be there to serve us in the future.  Overcoming gives us an assurance of personal confidence and value that far exceeds what we thought we possessed before our struggles began.    -Dennis Wholey

    Well, they are dumb enough to follow a con, cheat and the stupidest man on this planet so you can't expect them to have embraced advances.

    Took less than a year and your business but I guess you're the proud owner of some libs somewhere. Happiness must be complete for you even if you don't have your business anymore.

    I’m tired of Israel killing children using our money and weapons. Benjamin Netanyahu is a coward and anyone who supports or defends him is an evil person or a fool.

    Any dumber and she is going to walk out the door and forget to come back. Hmmm, that could be a good thing.
