This is going to be GREAT! We hope you can join. Help us spread the word!
I know so many of us are feeling anxious and angry and looking for ways to ease tensions and build more hope. If that sounds at all like you, come join me for the World Community of Christian Mediation gathering in DC in September. We’ve got the A team—Fr. Laurence Freeman, Bishop Mariann Budde, Tia Norman, Ray Dalio and me too! But it won’t be right without you!

I just finished this fantastic new book on Pope Leo XIV by Christopher White @ChrisWhiteGU. If you’re looking for insights into the new Pope–– and his relationship with Pope Francis–– this is the book for you. It is excellent!
@loyolapress
From today’s scriptures:
“I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Thx for having me on @DanaBashCNN it is an exciting time for all people of good will!
"This Pope and Pope Francis they don't fit into a box... in American politics we want to make them Republican or Democrat, progressive, conservative... they are devout followers of Jesus, and Jesus was pretty radical," @Mark_Shriver, a member of the most prominent American Catholic family in history, tells me on @InsidePolitics
Many thx for having me on, @Elex_Michaelson exciting times for the Catholic Church!
.@Mark_Shriver, who wrote a book on Pope Francis, discusses Pope Leo XIV:
"Pope Francis' motto was around mercy...I hope [Leo] takes that message of bringing the voice to the poor & the powerless to Rome."
"These are progressive ideas...& what Pope Leo will really focus on."

Excellent - - and TRUE!!- - statement from my brothers @TimShriver and @AnthonyKShriver about autism. See their entire statement on Instagram. Reminds me of the Dr. King quote: “It’s always the right time to do the right thing.” Hope others are listening!
Pope Francis was not just a nice guy who liked people - he was a devout follower of Jesus who joyfully challenged us to get out of our comfort zone,to get the mud of the street on our shoes.I taped these words on my office wall.Hope they challenge, &inspire, you, like they do me!
and the refugee, to the poor - - he joy-fully inspires me, daily.
He asked us to pray for him when he was first introduced as Pope; he asked Jeanne, Molly, Tommy, Emma and me to pray for him when we meet; today, we will do that- - and we will pray to him, as well.
clearly loved being on the journey with us all….His humility, his call for Mercy, his Joy in being a follower of Jesus, his Hope, his love of the Earth, his example of reaching out to those on the margin, to the forgotten and the unincluded, to those in jail, to the migrant….
In June of 2016, we were invited to morning mass with Pope Francis and blessed to have a few minutes with him afterwards.
He was - - and still is- - a wonderfully complicated teacher; he was dogmatic, yet very open to the Holy Spirt moving each of us in different ways. He…

Love these pictures and quote!! @SpecialOlympics @TimShriver @AnthonyKShriver @mariashriver @bobbyshriver
"Inclusion should be the first 'rock' on which to build our house." - Pope Francis, 2020.
The Holy Father was a longtime supporter of our movement and a champion of inclusion for society’s most vulnerable and marginalized. Read more here: 🔗brnw.ch/21wS7uN #PopeFrancis
Like all great teachers, Pope Francis didn’t tell you the answer, but shared joy in walking alongside, as we journeyed, together….
It was an AMAZING evening celebrating my sister @mariashriver’s new book “I AM MARIA”!
