I have seen Him in the refugees arriving on our shores
And I’ve seen His Pontius Pilates on the House and Senate floors.

I am actually speechless at the power of this imagery and the effect it will have on anyone who has ever taken their Catholicism remotely seriously.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
