I wrote about the two separate occasions @newpersonalism.bsky.social visited Delaney Hall in solidarity with those imprisoned and to minister to their families waiting to see them. It struck me how banal the guards were in their cruelty there, and how there will soon be more, bigger prisons like it.
Jaime Pettit writes about ICE and the New Personalist intervention in New Jersey:

“The nation has built the Gates of Hell [...] All that we can do is push back against the inferno in whatever way we can.”

Notes from an ICE Camp
The nation has built the Gates of Hell and our representatives of both parties preside over them with corporate banality.

Today the NYU Catholic Center asked “Is it Ethical to be Rich?”.
NPM was there with the answer.

Fr. NYU, O.P. said: “You may have been handed two flyers upon entrance to this event. The flyer with the charts and graphs is ours, the other was handed out by rogue elements."

A prayer service outside a Newark DHS detention center was a reminder that, for Christians, every prison and every tyrant is a temporary thing.

Sr. María José Sirera Oliag's letter to the head of her order (the Esclavas del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús) asking to become a nun-worker (or religious-worker). This request was denied & María José Sirera Oliag left the order. However, she never lost her faith & Christian commitment. [1/4] 🧵

A beautiful reflection from Gerardo Muñoz — in Spanish (French and Swedish translations forthcoming) — on NPM's prayer vigil outside of the Delaney Hall concentration camp in Newark.

Gerardo Muñoz / La vigilia de unas voces: una postal desde el norte
Como en toda ciudad portuaria, en Newark las distancias pesan y se materializan de forma inconspicua, como ya hemos dicho en otra ocasión en la que hicimos un trazado del entorno. Entre la estación…

An excerpt from Mary Theresa Moser's essential book The Evolution of the Option for the Poor in France, 1880-1965 (1985) on the hardships and risks that accompanied those Catholics who chose to engage in resistance against the Nazi occupation and the Vichy regime.
