London's Burning! This week is the anniversary of the #GreatFireofLondon September 2-6 1666. Afterwards, a culprit was sought, and the #Jesuits were a popular scapegoat, reflected in the title of this pamphlet in our collection.
Jesuit Archbishop Eduard Profittlich to be beatified on Sept 6, 2025 in Tallinn, Estonia! He was a German-born Jesuit who died in a Soviet prison after choosing to remain with his flock. His life is a powerful witness of "fides et pax" (faith and peace). #EduardProfittlich
#OTD in 1709, the death of Br. Andrea Pozzo, SJ, an Italian #Jesuit, Baroque painter and architect. His masterpiece is the nave ceiling of the Church of St. Ignatius in Rome.
St John Chrysostom in the Roman office today (Hom. 50)
For he who said: This is my body, and made it so by his words, also said: You saw me hungry and did not feed me, and inasmuch as you did not do it for one of these, the least of my brothers, you did not do it for me.
On September 6, 2025, Jesuit Archbishop Eduard Profittlich (1890–1942) will be beatified in Tallinn, Estonia. Arrested by Soviet authorities in June 1941, he was tortured, accused of espionage and sentenced to death. He died in prison. jesuit.org.uk/news/jesuit-ar…
Ever wonder about Catholic social teaching? Is it just an "add-on" to our Catholic faith? Something non-essential?
Read this paragraph from Pope Leo XIV. It's one of the best articulations of CST--what it is and how it flows from the very heart of the Gospel--you will ever hear.
In a 2012 @CatholicNewsSvc interview, then-Father Robert Prevost—now Pope Leo XIV—reflected on how Saint Augustine’s Confessions speak to friendship, family, ambition, and the ordinary struggles of life. Augustine shows that by reflecting on these experiences, we can discover…
The life of Saint Augustine, and his call to servant leadership, reminds us that we all have God given gifts and talents. Our purpose, fulfilment, and joy comes from offering them back in loving service to God and our neighbor.
Dilectissime in Domino,
Catholics pray.
We also act in the world on behalf of the vulnerable. That’s our way.
We need not defend ourselves to the world.
We just need to do what we do, by instinct of the Holy Spirit and in obedience to Christ.
Pope Leo XIV commemorated the 400th anniversary of the arrival of Fr. Andrius Rudamina, SJ, in India. A Lithuanian-born Jesuit, Fr. Rudamina traveled more than 5,000 miles to India in 1625 to preach the Gospel.

On Saturday, Pope Leo welcomed several Nicaraguan bishops currently in exile, including the president of the bishops, Carlos Enrique Herrera, of Jinotega; @silviojbaez, (auxiliar of Managua), and Isidoro del Carmen Mora Ortega (Siuna).
The Vatican only announced Herrera's visit.
#PopeLeo: "Our faith is authentic when it embraces our whole life, when it becomes a criterion for our decisions, when it makes us women and men committed to doing what is right and who take risks out of love, even as Jesus did."

My latest column is up at @PillarCatholic ("The Female Forerunners of Newman") -- and provides a little bit of a clue (along with my last column about the American convert Sarah Peter (1800-1877) -- as to what my planned next book will be about. pillarcatholic.com/p/the-female-f…
Framing Leo's (potential, it hasn't been confirmed) move into the Apostolic Palace w/other Augustinians through the lens of "breaking with Francis! restoring tradition!" instead of the significance of the Pope living in intentional community amid a fractured age is a huge miss.
#PopeLeoXIV asks Catholics to observe the Aug. 22 feast of the Queenship of Mary as a day of prayer and fasting for peace & justice, particularly in the Holy Land and in Ukraine. (📸 @LolaGomezC )
Beautiful & challenging words from Leo XIV this morning:
“To forgive does not mean to deny evil, but to stop it from generating more evil.
It is not saying that nothing happened, but doing everything possible so that rancor does not decide the future.”
