Today is #Juneteenth, in which we commemorate and celebrate when, on this day 160 years ago, enslaved people in Texas learned of their emancipation. Let us honor the spirit of freedom and pray for continued solidarity with all those who work for justice, equality, and healing.

#ReligiousFreedomWeek (June 22-29) invites Catholics in the U.S. to pray, reflect, and act to promote religious freedom. Religious freedom is what allows the Church, and all religious communities, to live out their faith in public and to serve the good of all.

Jesus, in the wonderful sacrament of the Eucharist, You have left us a memorial of Your Passion. Grant us the faith to revere the sacred mysteries of Your Most Holy Body and Blood, that we may always experience in ourselves the fruits of Your redemption. Amen. #CorpusChristi

Why do we have a pope? "The authority of the pope as teacher and governor, and the pope as a symbol of Christian unity, has a long history in the Church, even from the very beginnings at Pentecost." etcatholic.org/2025/06/the-po…

Today we celebrate the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. St. John Paul II said, “The Sacred Heart has given us everything — redemption, salvation, sanctification.” The cathedral of #dioknox is named after the Sacred Heart, a reminder of the mystery of God's love for His people. ❤️‍🔥
