Hello

 Cyclone Harry has devastated many areas in Southern Italy/Sicily, causing an estimated over 1 Billion Euros in damage. The National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) is leading fundraising efforts to help damage repair and relief efforts.  Your contribution will be directed to Italy's Protezione Civile, the national agency coordinating relief efforts across the affected regions. These funds will provide critical assistance for immediate needs and long-term recovery efforts. Please share and support as able. Thank you.  https://www.italianamericanrelief.org/

 Living out my life with you is just natural to me.  Like knowing paper sticks to glue and honey to the bee.  When you came in the sun came up; so peaceful like a dove.  The hole inside of me has filled. Zam, bam wham. I'm in love.  The clear blue skies so high above, with clouds of puffy white. Can shine a little brighter now with you holding me tight.  When nighttime comes, the moon appears to show its beams aglow. And though the winter's cold set in, I'm warm, despite the snow.  I used to live without you and it was a life so lame.  Now that we're together, my once cold heart remains aflame. If you and I can make it; we'll soar to heaven above.  Till then I guess we'll fake it. Oh, Zam, Bam Wham. I'm in love.                                             Photo by: Myur Gala at  Mayur Gala (@mayurgala) | Unsplash Photo Commu...

 Bishop Barron breaks down the readings from the perspective of God through Jesus bringing light to darkness and unity to division. He urges us to reflect on the importance of this message especially today in times of great division among Christians.  https://youtu.be/_hgQQL1sx1Y?si=tQ8TtCfrAz9RNiX5

 Bishop Barron describes the account of John The Baptist of Jesus Christ as “The Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world”. Jesus as the Lamb of God brings to completion all the previous sacrifices for sin.  https://youtu.be/GZTdPDSVaZ4?si=3YUBgKXYOf6KA2nH

 In this insightful speech near the end of his life, Martin Luther King Jr, voices his concerns about 3 evils plaguing American society: racism, militarism and poverty. He notes that they all must be addressed and dealt with in order for meaningful progress to happen.  https://youtu.be/j8d-IYSM-08?si=03uu2KHXnIWB9VwL

 Fr Chris takes a deep dive into Servant of God (1st step to becoming a saint), Maria Esperanza (hope)’s messages from Our Lady through numerous fully approved apparitions. My take: While we often see the chaotic surface headlines, there’s often much more to the story. No one really knows exactly how things will turn out; but some things always stay the same. God’s messages and God’s Mercy for us are always available for those who seek it. It starts with us. All of us. In our families, communities and broader world. 🙏🏻 🤝 ✝️ 🇺🇸 🇻🇪  https://www.youtube.com/live/yKhytUb4tb8?si=4xN_kJw6fS6ksDs1 For more informative and inspiring videos from the Marians check out their YouTube channel:  https://youtube.com/@divinemercy_official?si=YHYdITCGqKdUbj18
