How to understand what qualifies a human being? Pope Francis responds in address to Pontifical Academy for Life - ZENIT - English : Pope's address to the members of the Pontifical Academy for Life

  Dear brothers and sisters! The theme I have chosen for this year’s World Mission Day is taken from the Gospel parable of the wedding banquet (cf. Mt 22:1-14). After the guests refused his invitation, the king, the main character in the story, tells his servants: “Go therefore to the thoroughfares, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find” (v. 9). Reflecting on this key passage in the context of the parable and of Jesus’ own life, we can discern several important aspects of evangelization. These appear particularly timely for all of us, as missionary disciples of Christ, during this final stage of the synodal journey that, in the words of its motto, “Communion, Participation, Mission”, seeks to refocus the Church on her primary task, which is the preaching of the Gospel in today’s world. 1. “Go and invite!” Mission as a tireless going out to invite others to the Lord’s banquet In the king’s command to his servants we find two words that express the heart of the mission: th

 https://catholic-link.org/catholic-marriage-different/ “From a valid marriage arises a bond between the spouses which by its very nature is perpetual and exclusive; furthermore, in a Christian marriage the spouses are strengthened and, as it were, consecrated for the duties and the dignity of their state by a special sacrament.”142 #1638 CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH Marriage is truly an adventure that requires careful packing. After saying “yes,” you leave your childhood home, bid your farewells, say your see-you-laters (definitely not goodbyes), pack your entire life into a handful of suitcases, and embark on a new journey with your beloved. And guess what? Everything changes. It’s definitely one of life’s most significant transitions. No more waking up or having breakfast alone; now it’s a bundled 2-for-1 deal. Two distinct individuals become one entity. But let’s talk about coexistence – it’s a path that can lead to either a nightmarish scenario or a beautiful opportunity for g

  Why We Should Fight https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/why-we-should-fight?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=novashare via @CrisisMag When I was a very naïve eleven years old , a gang of boys from school caught me in a neighbor’s backyard by myself. A girlfriend had been with me, but she ran away. I barely knew enough to be afraid, but I did know that I didn’t like being held down by someone bigger than me.  Since I was clearly outmanned, I didn’t fight. And I didn’t tell, not until sometime in my twenties. I expect there was damage I don’t begin to understand, but I worked my way to forgiveness through Christ, and I put it behind me.  What I have never gotten over is the pain and shame of not fighting back . I abandoned myself in the face of a stronger enemy. I cooperated in my own destruction. I empowered evil by not bringing the act to justice. I have vowed for the last 50 years that I would never again allow evil to take me without a fight.  And here we
