We all have a duty to devote at least a small portion of our daily lives to ensuring that neither America or the World ever forgets September 11.

hugs n’ blessings for the moments we shall always remember that there is no room for hate.
After the death of our dear Pope Francis on Easter Monday and his funeral and burial at St. Mary Major, the Cardinals gathered in the Sistine Chapel to prayerfully elect the next Pope.
Mere days before I was to depart for my 30 Day Spiritual Exercises’ Study at Broom Tree in Irene, South Dakota, during the Papal Conclave on May 8, 2025, white smoke billowed from the raised chimney announcing to the world, “Habemus Papam, We have a Pope!” The Holy Spirit’s work was complete, and the College of Cardinals had selected the next Successor of St. Peter.

~Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
