Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7-`0

“The Truth about Immigration from the Global South” From tonight’s American Greatness site . . .
“. . .One of the most striking, yet seldom discussed, patterns in recent Western immigration is the prevalence of systematic fraud within certain migrant communities. This isn’t merely the petty opportunism one might expect from any financially struggling population, but rather large-scale, organized deception targeting state institutions. The Somali daycare fraud in the United States serves as a telling example. In Minnesota, federal investigators uncovered a coordinated scheme that siphoned hundreds of millions of dollars from a federal childcare assistance program. This involved enrolling fictitious children, submitting fabricated invoices, and transferring funds to East Africa. The sheer scale was remarkable, and the networks implicated were uniformly ethnically homogeneous and communally organized. This situation did not represent a collection of isolated individuals making poor choices; instead, it reflected a community operating according to its own internal logic. . . “
Here’s a bit more . . .
To dismiss this behavior as merely the actions of a few bad individuals is not only analytically superficial but, in its own way, more patronizing than an honest assessment. The social logic underpinning such behavior is premodern and tribal. In societies where trust is low, the state is not perceived as a neutral provider of public goods to which citizens contribute through honest participation. Instead, it is viewed as either a predatory external entity or, at best, a resource to be seized and distributed among one’s own group. Consequently, defrauding the state is not experienced as defrauding society, because the immigrants do not yet conceive of themselves as integral members of an impersonal civic society they have a vested interest in upholding. They essentially function as members of a clan operating within an alien system, and it is natural for them to extract resources from it.

Easter: May 2nd
Memorial of St. Athanasius, Bishop and Doctor of the Church
Other Commemorations: St. Antoninus, Bishop (RM)
Today the Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Athanasius (295-373), Bishop of Alexandria and a great defender of the orthodox faith, throughout his life opposed the Arian heresy. By denying the Godhead of the Word the Arians turned Christ into a mere man, only higher in grace than others in the eyes of God. St. Athanasius took part in the Council of Nicea in 325 and until the end remained a champion of the faith as it was defined by the Council. In him the Church venerates one of her great Doctors. He was subjected to persecutions for upholding the true teaching concerning the person of Christ and was sent into exile from his see no less than five times. He died at Alexandria in 373 after an episcopate of forty-six years.
The Roman Martyrology commemorates St. Antoninus (1389-1459), Bishop of Florence, and a member of the Dominican Order. In the exercise of his pastoral charge he showed great charity. He died in 1459.

Dr. Ryan Burge on the surge in the number of theologically conservative men being ordained to the Catholic priesthood: “Only 2% of priests ordained in America in the last 5 years describe themselves as progressive or liberal politically or theologically.”
