In July's #PopeVideo, Pope Francis explains that the Anointing of the Sick is not only for those at the point of death.” It is a sacrament “that heals the spirit.” Join in praying this month for the pastoral care of the sick.

As trust in our election system erodes, so does our sense of unity as American citizens. By looking to the Franciscan tradition and its emphasis on peace-building, we can find ways to heal and strengthen our divided society. franciscanmedia.org/st-anthony-mes…

I'm devastated to learn of the killing of Guapinol Exige Justicia leader Juan López this weekend in Honduras. Juan & the Guapinol have been threatened, harassed, & hunted for years as they've challenged toxic extractive projects owned by the Facussé family in Carlos Escaleras National Park.

I was honored to meet Honduran water defender Juan Lopez when his organization received the 2019 Letelier-Moffitt award. His cowardly assassination hurts my heart. There must be accountability. #Guapinol CIDH - IACHR Embajador/a de Estados Unidos ante Honduras religionnews.com/2024/09/17/cat…

Shocked to learn that Guapinol Exige Justicia indigenous environmental activist Juan Lopez was killed in Honduras. Juan & his peers have faced brutal retaliation for defending their lands & waters against exploitation by extractive projects. We grieve with Juan's family & demand justice.
