Most Rev. A. Elias Zaidan, Bishop of the Maronite Eparchy of Our Lady of Lebanon of Los Angeles and Chairman of the USCCB's Committee on International Justice and Peace, speaks about the reality facing Catholics in the Middle East and calls for peace in the region. "It's not their war, but they're the victims often." In a recent statement, Bishop Zaidan welcomed the ceasefire between the United States, Israel, and Iran, but expressed concern that the agreement does not cover Lebanon. He called on the international community to ensure the people of Lebanon receive greater access to humanitarian assistance, noting that more than one million people, including 370,000 children, have been displaced by the fighting. Please keep the people of Lebanon and all Christians in the Middle East in your prayers.

Pope Leo's Easter message: "Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!"

“...recent efforts to uncover info about Palantir’s human rights record have come from groups like @SistersofPeace... Palantir’s political contributions are increasingly being seen as a liability by Democrats in Congress…"

“In God’s will, there is great peace.” — St. Josephine Bakhita

'Peace is not merely a balance of power; it is the work of purified hearts, of those who see others as brothers and sisters to be protected, not enemies to be defeated.'—Pope Leo XIV ncronline.org/vatican/vatica… via @NCRonline
