By Susan Ciancio, Catholic World Report – Mary continually offers herself as the mother we can strive to emulate, and every time she appears to us, she makes known her immense love… Our Blessed Mother constantly looks out for us, even when we aren’t thinking about her… I was reminded of this fact recently when I chanced upon Mary under the title of Our Lady of Charity. I had never heard of this specific title, so I searched the Internet and found a beautiful story of our heavenly mother’s protection and love. ..

By Daniel J. Flynn, The American Spectator – Where do the hearts of Democratic Party primary voters lie? With AOC… AOC looks like the kid in the square on Sesame Street that’s doing her own thing. When one needs to separate from the pack, separating from the pack seems like the smart move. AOC stands out. The rest try — and they have been trying all their life — to fit in. That’s their basic problem. …

Author Don Schwager, Servants of the Word – Mark 11:27-33 – 27 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, 28 and they said to him, “By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?” 29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you a question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. …

By Gayle Somers, Catholic Exchange – Sunday’s Gospel is different from any we have seen during the long seasons of Lent and Easter.  On Sunday after Sunday, the Gospels have reported actions of Jesus.  They have been passages full of conversations and events that moved His story along, culminating in His Ascension into Heaven and His promise to send the Holy Spirit.  This day, however, St. John gives us a kind of summary.  It’s simple, but what a sweep it has!

By Regis Martin, Crisis Magazine – Here’s a take-home question for you. Are you at home in the world? I mean, entirely and completely at home? Are you, to put it in a boringly pedantic way, perfectly reconciled with your place of residence in a world bound by space and time, a world framed by the window of the five senses through which you perceive and receive it?… If you are not, and there is evidence to suggest that you are not alone—that growing numbers of disaffected people agree with you—what is it that prevents your being wholly at home in such a world?

By Randall O’Bannon, Ph.D., LifeNews – Pro-lifers hoped that Roe’s fall in 2022 would finally bring the end of abortion in America. So far, that has not happened. And some are even claiming that the number of abortions has increased. How can that be?… Some states have tried to protect unborn children and their mothers but others have expanded abortion access. Wealthy abortion funds paid to transport women to abortion-friendly states, while abortionists in “Shield Law” states mailed abortion pills into states where abortion was restricted, flouting their protective laws. …

By Stephen Kokx, Integrity Magazine – On Pentecost Sunday, His Excellency Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò issued a blistering critique of the “conciliar and synodal church” and its exaltation of man… Delivered one day prior to the publication of Leo’s Magnifica Humanitas encyclical, the former Nuncio’s penetrating sermon acts as a powerful counterweight to the Masonic-inspired arguments put forth by the Vatican… In his remarks, Viganò explains that that there has been an “apostasy of the highest echelons of the Hierarchy” and that this has produced a “grotesque counterfeit of the true Church of Christ.”

By Kevin Cohen, The American Spectator – On May 7, 2026, a local court in Wood County, Ohio, handed down a sentence that should have turned the national immigration debate upside down. Instead, it was treated like a standard piece of local police blotter grime. Anthony Emmanuel Labrador-Sierra, a 25-year-old Venezuelan national, got four to six years in state prison and a mandatory quarter-century on the Tier II sex offender registry for pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor.

By Nancy Flanders, LiveAction – MirrorIndy recently highlighted the story of Ann, her husband, and their daughter Althea, who, based on ultrasound imaging, did not have kidneys. Doctors said Althea would not survive more than a couple of days after birth, leading her parents to request an abortion. However, their state of Indiana protected Althea’s life.

By Matthew McDonald, National Catholic Register – A former rector at a residence hall at the University of Notre Dame frequently weighed male students naked and alone in a deserted locker room and engaged in unwanted sexual contact with some of them during a 17-year span in the 1980s and 1990s, an investigative report commissioned by the university found… Victims told the investigator that they reported the behavior of Holy Cross Father Thomas King to various Notre Dame officials over the course of several years, but that inquiries and follow-up were slow and lackluster, the report found. …

Author Don Schwager, Servants of the Word – Mark 11:11-26 – 11 And he entered Jerusalem, and went into the temple; and when he had looked round at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve. 12 On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it.

By S.A. McCarthy, The Washington Stand – Recent controversy over ICE detention conditions at Delaney Hall in New Jersey is emblematic of a much larger problem with a broad swath of the foreign population in the U.S. Democrats recently made a spectacle at Delaney Hall, demanding better detention conditions for illegal immigrants awaiting deportation. According to (some Democrats)… illegal immigrants are being denied basic necessities like food. HHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin, however, confirmed that several detainees are actually rejecting the food provided for them and “hunger striking” instead. Their demands? Specific ethnic foods. …

By Austin Ruse, Crisis Magazine – The priest intones, “Peace be with you.”… The congregation responds, “And with your spirit.”… And then, sometimes it doesn’t come. The priest doesn’t say, “Let us offer each other the sign of peace.” Sometimes—often, around my town—he moves on with the Mass… Is this just a warm and fuzzy break from the solemn Mass, or are we stepping on one of the most important prayers of the Mass? “Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.”

By Casey Chalk, Catholic World Report – Through his profession, (Robert Collins, MD) perceived what makes Catholic thinking different: that our suffering can be united to the sufferings of Christ. Moreover, as St. Paul teaches in Colossians 1:24, we can “complete what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the Church.” Just as Christ redeems humanity through his salvific suffering on the Cross, Collins discovers, “we, in union with him as members of his Body, are perhaps playing a role in bringing his redemption to the part of the world that we touch.”
