All Souls Day reminds us of our sacred duty to pray daily for our family members who have died and all the faithful departed. It is a spiritual work of mercy. We honor them by living our faith and loving God and one another. Lord, grant our deceased loved ones eternal peace.

With great sorrow I am following the tragic news coming from #Sudan. Indiscriminate violence against women and children, attacks on unarmed civilians, and serious obstacles to humanitarian aid are causing unbearable suffering. May we #PrayTogether that the Lord may receive the deceased with his embrace, strengthen those who are suffering, and move the hearts of those responsible. I renew my heartfelt appeal to all parties involved to agree to a ceasefire and to urgently open humanitarian corridors. Finally, I call on the international community to act with determination and generosity.

Just a few months before he was assassinated on Sept. 10, Charlie Kirk — a conservative campus activist and an outspoken evangelical Christian — said that upon his death he would want to be remembered for his Christian faith. catholicnewsagency.com/news/266523/ch…

Charlie Kirk — founder of the conservative campus activist organization Turning Point USA and outspoken evangelical Christian — was shot dead in an apparent assassination during an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 10. The 31-year-old was fatally shot in the neck while taking questions from audience members during a stop at the university as part of his American Comeback Tour. He is survived by his wife, Erika Frantzve, and his 3-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son. The shooting occurred when Kirk was answering a student’s question about transgenderism and gun violence at about 12:10 p.m. MST, shortly after the event began. Utah Valley University was Kirk’s first tour stop. Kirk, who often debated students on campus, strongly defended free speech at colleges and was an outspoken critic of discrimination against Christians and gender ideology. He founded Turning Point USA in 2012 when he was just 18 years old to promote free speech and conservative values on college campuses. Vice President JD Vance posted on X that Kirk’s campus events “are one of the few places with open and honest dialogue between left and right,” noting that Kirk “would answer any question and talk to everyone.” “Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,” Vance said in a follow-up post. Kirk was a close ally of President Donald Trump, who expressed sadness about his death in a Truth Social post and referred to Kirk as “great, and even legendary.” “No one understood or had the heart of the youth in the United States of America better than Charlie,” he wrote. “He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika and family. Charlie, we love you!” Kirk has also been outspoken about his Christian faith on social media, in interviews, and on his previous campus tours. bit.ly/41PLm4h

It’s all about Jesus.

Today, the universal Church celebrates the liturgical memorial of the martyrdom of Saint John the Baptist. His example can help us reflect on the mission of modern evangelizers. The key to every school of evangelization is to bear witness to what we contemplate and our encounter with the God of life.

Prayer is not an escape from reality. It is the very place we meet Christ, who Himself was unjustly slain. We will continue to pray, not because we are passive, but because we know only God can bring true justice, healing, and peace. Evil wants us to stop praying and to despair. We will not. We cling to Christ, who has conquered death. “The prayer of a righteous person has great power in its effects.” -James 5:16
