Another story about my brother. He noticed an empty sizeable planter outside a small food pantry he frequents. He checked with the owners and then planted potato plants in it. Last week, after the freeze, he pulled up the plants and added them to the pantry. 1/

I love this story about my brother, who is in transitional housing, almost in possession of the key to his own apartment (!). He loves to go to breakfast on Mondays at this church that makes French toast, eggs, sausage, bacon, and grits for the homeless population. 1/

I love how he continues with what was so much Francis' heart.
Pope Leo at lunch with 1,300 cherished guests: “Let us also ask the Lord's blessing on the many people suffering from violence, war, and hunger; and may we today celebrate this feast in a spirit of fraternity.”

They weren’t taking the houses, they were building the houses.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

VATICAN: This afternoon, Pope Leo met with 15 people from Belgium who were victims of abuse by clergy when they were minors. The meeting was held in an atmosphere of closeness with deep and painful listening and dialogue; it lasted for almost three hours, then ended with an intense moment of prayer.
