What?

Harmeet Dhillon Unleashed

My husband watched me pray in our Sikh faith at the RNC — and one of our last text messages before he died a couple of weeks later was telling me he was so proud of me. He was supposed to be there, but he was also dying from two serious illnesses, and he could not make it at the last minute. Our medical staff at home took care of him while he watched me pray in our faith tradition -/ just as we did at home daily over each meal. All you trash who have denigrated my prayer to the ONE GOD many faiths believe in, deeply hurt me for the last two years, but I could not comment back because I was part of a campaign and then confirmation -/ administration. It’s over. I won’t be silent any longer. Go read the First Amendment and my extensive record on behalf of ALL people of faith in America. For 34 years. And then let’s measure our respective records on religious liberty. I welcome all comers who think they can prove they did more than I did for ALL people of faith in this country. There are none. I intend to keep fighting for ALL people of faith in America for the rest of my life. But I won’t hide my own faith for one second. It’s protected by our Constitution.

Pope Leo XIV made his way across Rome on Monday to the Verano Cemetery, where he celebrated Mass for the Commemoration of All Souls’ Day. In his homily, the Holy Father noted the connection with the Solemnity of All Saints, observed on November 1, which he described as giving “direction to our prayer.” God’s “fatherly and steadfast hands hold them for eternity,” he continued, “so that they may fully enjoy that vital, mutual belonging which the Lord promises to His people.”

Archbishop Jeffrey Grob's Absurd Apology

CatholicVote President & CEO Kelsey Reinhardt on the Catholic bishops and archbishops praying over Trump: "We preach the Gospel to death-row inmates. No one is beyond the mercy of God. So the idea that Donald Trump is somehow prohibited from being prayed over, or that these bishops should apologize for praying, is absurd." @catholickelsey

Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob Apologizes for Praying with Trump

NEW: Bishop William Joensen of Des Moines said the White House used a private prayer with President Trump “for partisan political purposes,” the second prelate to express regret over the Oval Office gathering days before the midterm election. Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob apologized on Sunday, saying that “something so sacred” had been manipulated. “I did not go without reservations,” he wrote. “I wish I had heeded them.” Pressure is building on the remaining 10 bishops to walk back their participation, and more than 2,500 Catholics have signed a letter asking them to apologize to the people of God and to Pope Leo XIV. https://t.co/a9xmB56n6f

WHAT?

It's wrong to pray with someone?

Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob had "reservations" about meeting with President Trump? He regrets praying with the president of the United States?

Don't those outraged over Catholic bishops praying in the Oval Office realize that they are being very political?

Of course, there was a photo of the meeting. There's a photo of every meeting in the Oval Office. That's not manipulation or politicization.

It's extremely disappointing that Archbishop Grob has deemed his visit with President Trump to be a mistake. His apology, in itself, is a political expression that is very troubling, far more troubling than saying a prayer in the Oval Office. I didn't think Archbishop Grob was like this.

Would Jesus regret praying with anyone? Would he apologize for the act? I don't think so.

JD Vance and the Lord's Prayer

POWERFUL MOMENT: Vice President JD Vance just led an entire Nebraska crowd in the Lord’s Prayer after a medical emergency in the middle of his speech. As medical personnel rushed to assist an attendee, Vance paused his remarks and invited the crowd to join him in prayer. The Vice President turned to his faith, recalling how the Lord taught us to pray in moments like these. Thousands gathered in prayer as they waited for news about the person receiving medical attention. A powerful display of faith and compassion, @JDVance

Elon Musk and a Violent Ex-Tesla Employee

Elon Musk reveals that an ex-Tesla employee who assaulted a woman for stepping on his prayer rug went on to kill three students in Austin. MUSK: "We had someone who was working at the Tesla factory in Austin until December of last year. He was fired because he assaulted a woman who stepped on his prayer rug in the factory. Okay. So she wasn't expecting anyone to be praying in the factory, and he was praying in the factory. She accidentally stepped on his prayer rug, and he assaulted her. He violently assaulted her. So he was fired for that, and then a few months later, he went and killed three students in a bar in downtown Austin. Now, I think we shouldn't let people like that into the country. Do you?"

What kind of allegedly prayerful person assaults a woman for accidentally stepping on a prayer rug in a factory and then goes on to kill three students?

Why should we allow a menace like that to live in our country? The guy had a job here but he didn't become an American.

Pope Leo Greets Faithful, Prays the Angelus

Pope Leo greets pilgrims at the Sunday Angelus, his first scheduled event since leaving hospital on Saturday. In his words to pilgrims the Pope spoke of his experience in hospital, saying: "I would like to thank all those who have prayed for me in recent days. I have truly sensed your support. Thank you! I wish to express my particular gratitude to the doctors, nurses and all the staff of the Gemelli Hospital. This experience has made me feel particularly close to all those who are living with illness or infirmity. Now that I have overcome this delicate phase, as you know, I will gradually resume my activities, always with God’s help and your prayers."

Pope Leo - Lung Cancer

Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

— Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex) October 11, 2026

Pope Leo XIV underwent thoracic surgery at Gemelli Hospital on Tuesday afternoon, as planned, according to a statement from Dr. Luigi Carbone and Professor Stefano Margaritora released by the Holy See Press Office. The surgeons removed the lower lobe of the Pope’s right lung, and tissue examined during the operation confirmed the diagnosis of “lung adenocarcinoma,” as suspected from tests conducted beforehand. The Pope was in the operating room approximately three hours, while the operation itself lasted about 90 minutes. The doctors said it was successful and there were no complications. Pope Leo awoke normally after surgery and, following a brief period of observation, returned to his room on the hospital’s 10th floor, according to the statement. https://t.co/63Fs28LCZJ

Pope Leo, Prayers, and Waging War

Pope Leo's comments seem rooted in politics.

I would appreciate knowing whose prayers Jesus hears. Pope Leo would help us out by providing an exhaustive list of those Jesus ignores.

Does Jesus hear the prayers of leaders and other individuals who use God to justify their war on the unborn, slaughtering tens of millions? They certainly have the blood of generations on their hands.

Enlighten us, Holy Father.

National Day of Prayer and Remembrance - 25 Years Ago

President's Remarks at National Day of Prayer and Remembrance

The National Cathedral
Washington, D.C.
September 14, 2001

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: We are here in the middle hour of our grief. So many have suffered so great a loss, and today we express our nation's sorrow. We come before God to pray for the missing and the dead, and for those who love them.

On Tuesday, our country was attacked with deliberate and massive cruelty. We have seen the images of fire and ashes, and bent steel.

Now come the names, the list of casualties we are only beginning to read. They are the names of men and women who began their day at a desk or in an airport, busy with life. They are the names of people who faced death, and in their last moments called home to say, be brave, and I love you.

They are the names of passengers who defied their murderers, and prevented the murder of others on the ground. They are the names of men and women who wore the uniform of the United States, and died at their posts.

They are the names of rescuers, the ones whom death found running up the stairs and into the fires to help others. We will read all these names. We will linger over them, and learn their stories, and many Americans will weep.

To the children and parents and spouses and families and friends of the lost, we offer the deepest sympathy of the nation. And I assure you, you are not alone.

Just three days removed from these events, Americans do not yet have the distance of history. But our responsibility to history is already clear: to answer these attacks and rid the world of evil.

War has been waged against us by stealth and deceit and murder. This nation is peaceful, but fierce when stirred to anger. This conflict was begun on the timing and terms of others. It will end in a way, and at an hour, of our choosing.

Our purpose as a nation is firm. Yet our wounds as a people are recent and unhealed, and lead us to pray. In many of our prayers this week, there is a searching, and an honesty. At St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York on Tuesday, a woman said, "I prayed to God to give us a sign that He is still here." Others have prayed for the same, searching hospital to hospital, carrying pictures of those still missing.

God's signs are not always the ones we look for. We learn in tragedy that his purposes are not always our own. Yet the prayers of private suffering, whether in our homes or in this great cathedral, are known and heard, and understood.

There are prayers that help us last through the day, or endure the night. There are prayers of friends and strangers, that give us strength for the journey. And there are prayers that yield our will to a will greater than our own.

This world He created is of moral design. Grief and tragedy and hatred are only for a time. Goodness, remembrance, and love have no end. And the Lord of life holds all who die, and all who mourn.

It is said that adversity introduces us to ourselves. This is true of a nation as well. In this trial, we have been reminded, and the world has seen, that our fellow Americans are generous and kind, resourceful and brave. We see our national character in rescuers working past exhaustion; in long lines of blood donors; in thousands of citizens who have asked to work and serve in any way possible.

And we have seen our national character in eloquent acts of sacrifice. Inside the World Trade Center, one man who could have saved himself stayed until the end at the side of his quadriplegic friend. A beloved priest died giving the last rites to a firefighter. Two office workers, finding a disabled stranger, carried her down sixty-eight floors to safety. A group of men drove through the night from Dallas to Washington to bring skin grafts for burn victims.

In these acts, and in many others, Americans showed a deep commitment to one another, and an abiding love for our country. Today, we feel what Franklin Roosevelt called the warm courage of national unity. This is a unity of every faith, and every background.

It has joined together political parties in both houses of Congress. It is evident in services of prayer and candlelight vigils, and American flags, which are displayed in pride, and wave in defiance.

Our unity is a kinship of grief, and a steadfast resolve to prevail against our enemies. And this unity against terror is now extending across the world.

America is a nation full of good fortune, with so much to be grateful for. But we are not spared from suffering. In every generation, the world has produced enemies of human freedom. They have attacked America, because we are freedom's home and defender. And the commitment of our fathers is now the calling of our time.

On this national day of prayer and remembrance, we ask almighty God to watch over our nation, and grant us patience and resolve in all that is to come. We pray that He will comfort and console those who now walk in sorrow. We thank Him for each life we now must mourn, and the promise of a life to come.

As we have been assured, neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, can separate us from God's love. May He bless the souls of the departed. May He comfort our own. And may He always guide our country.

God bless America.

We needed prayer then and we desperately need it now.
