For my fellow Catholics, Christians, others: Fr. Olivere said in his sermon at this morning's Mass on @6abc, the Church is not a building, it is us as we represent our faith. Today, represent your faith with love and charity toward others, irrespective of their beliefs.

Fr. Olivere also urged us to pray for an end to #racism & for racial equity. Of course our prayers are merely the foundation for our actions: We must commit to anti-racism and all the hard work that entails. Remember our foundational message from Jesus is The Sermon on the Mount.
Also critical is that we reject false prophets--those who claim Donald Trump is sent by G-d are blasphemous. No politician is sent by G-d and in fact Jesus threw the representatives of the State out of the temple. Jesus demanded separation of Church and State. So must we.
Many who claim to be Christians have grown far away from the teachings of Christ which are universal love and charity towards others. The pledge we make as Christians is to ALL other people, that we feed the hungry, shelter the homeless heal the sick, love one another.
So whether you are able to be in Church or not, whether you are Christian or not, we can all follow the rubric of the gospel of universal love by doing whatever we can to help those with less than us and fight for a more equitable and fair society, in all our days.
Amen.
Amen.
