'MY NAME IS OLIVIA-JAX, NOT BLOB OF TISSUE' "Doctors tried to bully my parents into aborting me three times. They said my intestines were out of my body - my mom and dad wouldn't let them. They said my legs and feet were deformed and not worth the mothers risk - my mom and dad wouldn't let them. They said I had Trisomy 18 and wouldn't live outside of the womb - my mom and dad wouldn't let them. Daddy said he didn't believe them, he said their evidence was pathetic. My mom agreed,they went against the will of the top doctors of their field. I was born a month early I'm in the 95+% for everything, my hands and feet are perfect, I don't have an extra 18th chromosome, I'm nearly 7months old - and I'm fine! My name is Olivia-Jax, not fetus, not blob of tissue. I'm a little girl that my mom and dad didn't give up on - and I am fine!" From Marshall Joyner #compatiblewithlife

Catholics do not go to Mass because it is “inspiring.” We go because Jesus Christ is there. Body. Blood. Soul. Divinity. The same Jesus born in Bethlehem. The same Jesus crucified on Calvary. The same Jesus risen from the tomb. On every altar. At every Mass. Still giving Himself for the life of the world. This is why the Eucharist is not a symbol. It is the beating Heart of the Catholic faith.

I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better.

At 1 AM, Truckers answered the call to save a life. A man struggling with mental health issues was threatening to jump off the I-696 overpass in Detroit, Michigan. Police gathered to try to talk him down, but after 3 hours the man was determined to jump and end his life. Truck drivers heard the incident over the radio and decided to help. 13 commercial truck drivers lined up under the man creating a "protective barrier," shortening his fall from 20 feet to only 5 feet. Because of the compassion these truck drivers showed, the man was able to be talked down with no injuries. State authorities posted a photo of the "truck wall" to social media using it as an opportunity to remind the public that help is available to anyone thinking about suicide. God bless these truckers for reminding us that there is still so much good in this world and even a stranger is worth saving. 🙏

There’s a lot of division in the Catholic Church right now. Bishops, please hear this! Young people are not looking for a watered-down, social justice version of the faith. They’re searching for roots, truth, goodness, and STABILITY. A Church that stands firm, not one that shifts with public opinion. Stop sacrificing tradition in an attempt to appease the loudest (liberal, btw) voices.

You think the Catholic Church is a cult because you've never seen real worship in your life. You grew up in a church where the lights are flashing, the music is blasting, people are jumping up and down, crying, shouting, falling out, and someone told you that that is worship. That is entertainment, that is emotion. That is not worship. Real worship is walking into a space and immediately feeling the weight of where you are. - The silence, the incense, candles, people kneeling, heads bowed. Not because someone told them to perform, but because they actually believe they are standing before God. The entire mass is built around one thing, the Holy Eucharist. The actual body and blood of Jesus Christ. Not a symbol, not a memory. God, physically present on the altar. You do not jump up and down in the presence of God. You kneel. You are silent. You receive him with humility because you understand what is actually happening. The early church did not have hype men and a smoke machines. They gathered in silence in homes willing to die for what they believed in. That is the church Christ built. So before you call it a cult, understand what you are looking at first.

A Boston Marathon runner cramped up just before the finish line, and two fellow runners rushed to help him finish the race. Such a great moment 👏

A 24–week-old baby holds the thumb of a doctor post-birth. Born weighing 600 grams, with 10 fingers and tiny toes. This child isn’t “just a clump of cells,” but a human baby, valuable and worth fighting for.
