"The earth will rest, justice will prevail, the poor will rejoice and peace will return, once we no longer act as predators but as pilgrims. No longer each of us for ourselves, but walking alongside one another. Not greedily exploiting this world, but cultivating it and protecting it." #PopeLeoXIV

"The Holy Spirit opens borders, first of all, in our hearts. He is the gift that opens our lives to love. His presence breaks down our hardness of heart, our narrowness of mind, our selfishness, the fears that enchain us and the narcissism that makes us think only of ourselves (6-8-25)." #PopeLeoXIV

Dolores Huerta is a devout Catholic and champion of working people. Last year, the Navy decided to name a ship in her honor. This year, the president wants to name the ship for someone who represents a "warrior culture." This decision is an insult to all people of faith and goodwill. #PrayForAmerica

Unlike the current commander-in-chief, who dodged military service, Cesar Chavez enlisted in the United States Navy, served this country, and earned an honorable discharge. The prospect of renaming the USNS Cesar Chavez is an affront to all veterans and Roman Catholics. #CesarChavez #PrayForAmerica
