Most Rev. Daniel E. Garcia, Bishop of Diocese of Austin, reflects on Juneteenth, the day Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the end of slavery more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. He addresses the painful legacy of slavery, often called America’s original sin, and the systemic racism that still casts its shadow today. He points to the opportunity Catholics have to recognize the inherent dignity of every person and to renew the commitment to racial justice, reconciliation, and peace.

Today, on the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, Pope Leo XIV blessed the pallium and placed it over the shoulders of new metropolitan archbishops at Mass in St. Peter's Basilica. Among the 35 archbishops were four from the United States: Most Rev. Mark S. Rivituso, Archbishop of Mobile; Most Rev. Ronald A. Hicks, Archbishop of New York; Most Rev. James R. Golka, Archbishop of Denver; and Most Rev. James F. Checchio, Archbishop of New Orleans. The pallium, a band of white wool adorned with crosses, is worn over the shoulders and signifies an archbishop's unity with the Holy Father and his responsibility to care for the flock entrusted to him. In his homily, Pope Leo XIV called Sts. Peter and Paul builders of unity and servants of the truth in charity, an example for every shepherd and every Christian. Please keep these archbishops in your prayers. Archbishop Ronald Hicks Archdiocese of New York Archdiocese of Denver Archdiocese of NO

“Consecrated life is, not primarily about the work that religious do, but rather about the total consecration of one’s life to God.” In this 2012 Catholic News Service interview with then-Father Robert Prevost, OSA, now Pope Leo XIV, reflects on consecrated life and the evangelical counsels as a distinctive witness of vowed religious life in the Church. In 1997, Pope Saint John Paul II established the World Day of Prayer for Consecrated Life, observed each year on February 2 with the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, also known as Candlemas Day, when candles are blessed as a sign of Christ, the light of the world. In the same way, women and men in consecrated life are called to reflect the light of Jesus Christ to all peoples.

“Those boats which hope to catch sight of a safe port, and those eyes filled with anguish and hope seeking to reach the shore, cannot and must not find the coldness of indifference or the stigma of discrimination.” — Pope Leo XIV On this World Day of Migrants and Refugees, we are reminded that the call to mission is no longer bound by geography. The suffering, hope, and courage of our migrant brothers and sisters reach our own shores and hearts. May we respond not with indifference, but with compassion.
