On this All Souls Day, we remember in prayer all our beloved dead and every member of the faithful departed, especially those who have no one to pray for them. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Faith in Christ tells us that our bond with the faithful departed is not broken, but transformed. Through our prayers for the repose of their souls, we accompany our loved ones toward full communion with the Lord, of which we already have a true foretaste here, in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Inspired by this faith filled with hope, let us continue our earthly journey, awaiting the day when the Lord will wipe away every tear.

God didn't intended for you to postpone your peace waiting for the evidence. One of the greatest ways you can show God that you trust Him is to enjoy your life despite not seeing any sign of what you’re believing for. Listen to this message from Joel! "Eat Your Meal": bit.ly/JOAPodcast

Honoring those who serve our nation is paramount to me in Washington. For me, that commitment is deeply personal. My late brother Lindsey served in the Air Force, and I carry his memory with me as I work to honor the sacrifices our service members and their families make. That’s why I proudly co-sponsored the Major Richard Star Act. Our nation’s heroes deserve more than our gratitude. They deserve leaders who will stand by them, honor our promises, and fight for them every day. I always will.

Here’s a key: you have to give yourself permission to be happy. Sometimes we’ve bought into the lie that we’re not supposed to be happy. We’ve been through too much; we’ve made too many mistakes. If we’re happy, people may not understand. Can I tell you? You’re supposed to be happy. It's okay to enjoy your life, to laugh, to smile. Happiness starts on the inside.

🚨 A Taco Bell cashier in Palatine, Illinois decided that Indian people were subhumans who needed to be killed. He did not arrive at this conclusion in a vacuum. For months he watched politicians call Indian visa holders “indentured servants.” He watched propaganda spread across social media about Indians running scams, holding fake degrees, stealing jobs. He watched online mobs call them roaches, vermin, demon worshippers, filthy invaders. He watched elected officials stay silent through all of it. He wrote an eight-page manifesto. He loaded an AR-style rifle. He put on tactical body armor bearing white supremacist patches. He put gasoline cans in his car. He drove to the largest Hindu temple in Aurora on Day 1 of Navratri, pulled the trigger, and the gun jammed. He called his coworker from the car. Said the gun jammed. Sent photos of the rifle. Sent a photo of himself in full tactical gear. Sent the manifesto. The coworker called the police. One gun malfunction. One decent human being. That is all that stood between a Hindu congregation and a mass shooting and fire on Navratri. This is what unchallenged hatred produces. His rifle was loaded with the words you chose not to challenge. #Hinduphobia #Palatine #AuroraTemple #WhiteSupremacy #ProtectHinduTemples

Let people off the hook and start putting those negative words, what they spoke over you, under your feet. They don’t determine your destiny. They didn’t know you before you were formed in your mother’s womb. They didn’t handpick you. Why are you elevating their words over who God says you are? Be inspired by this message from Joel, "It Changed Positions". bit.ly/JOAPodcast

Paul said in Philippians 4, “Be anxious for nothing.” We cannot be anxious over uncertainty about the future, anxious about the economy, anxious over this medical report, over the trouble at work. He goes on to tell us, “But in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be known to God.”

Maye Musk says she resigned from the Democrat Party after finding them to be “angry and dishonest and corrupt,” telling NEWSMAX's Rob Schmitt that it wasn’t until her son Elon Musk purchased Twitter that she found out “what was actually going on in the background." @mayemusk

A baby was born without a pulse. For 61 minutes, doctors performed CPR as his family asked for the prayers of Fulton Sheen. Then his heart began beating. He survived with no brain damage or lasting neurological harm. After a rigorous investigation, the Vatican recognized his recovery as a miracle attributed to Fulton Sheen’s intercession, clearing the way for his beatification happening today. The impossible is never beyond the reach of God. Prayer is powerful. Jesus Christ has the power to raise the dead to life.

.@SenJohnKennedy on Trump's media ban: "I agree with the president's diagnosis, but I don't agree with the cure. There's no question that for a variety of reasons -- it'd take me two hours and some good scotch to explain -- but for a variety of reasons, most forms of media on all sides are more partisan...I don't believe in cancel culture...I think you treat everybody the same and I think the American people can figure all this stuff out on their own."

President Trump said Thursday that artificial intelligence would be a major topic in his talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, while claiming China agrees with his preference to leave the issue "exactly where it is" and saying the Justice Department would serve as a guardrail.

India has never lacked talent. What was often missing were opportunities and pathways to realise big dreams. In her insightful piece, @Pvsindhu1 reflects on how the last 12 years have changed this, enabling a new generation of Indians not just to dream big, but to turn those dreams into reality. A must-read.
I’ve always loved writing. Sometimes, it’s the easiest way to say what you feel. This year, Modi ji, I wanted your birthday tribute to come straight from the heart. ❤️ I’ve seen changes in Indian sport I could barely have imagined growing up. The support, the opportunities and the belief have meant so much. Across fields, a generation of Indians has learnt to take on the world’s biggest names and believe we belong alongside them. But it’s the personal moments I treasure. Sharing an ice cream with you. Watching you laugh with my then coach, Park, and knowing he would remember it for the rest of his life. You have an innate ability to make people feel warm, welcome and loved. I remember your hour-long conversation with my husband, Datta, about identifying unique citizen records, or “golden records” at 10:30 in the night. Back in the car, he couldn’t stop wondering how the Prime Minister knew so much about such a deeply technical subject. Your curiosity stayed with him as much as your warmth. Happy birthday to our beloved Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Damodardas Modi ji. With a daughter’s affection, I wish you good health, happiness and many more years of service to our great country and its people. Thank you for always making us feel that our dreams matter to you 🙏❤️ @narendramodi @PMOIndia
