“Today we commemorate the victims of the Holocaust and all those persecuted and deported by the Nazi regime,” Pope Francis said at his weekly General Audience.
Repair Our Democracy
“The Sisters of the Divine Compassion are appalled at the unconscionable assault on the U.S. capitol and on American democracy. We urge Congress to take steps that will hold anyone involved in this event accountable. We pray that order may be restored and maintained so that the legitimate actions of our government may proceed. We pray for a peaceful transition of the presidency and for the United States to continue to be a nation committed to the rule of law and to justice for all, as our Constitution states.”

Corita, Mary Dorothea and Mary Lenore, RDC Associates and Companions, Braddon Mehrten and the Choir, Margie Gaughan and all those who have participated over the last 40 years. It was such a blessing!
Making the poor a priority isn’t political, it’s the Gospel!
