Growth in holiness requires more than faithfulness to the Ten Commandments. So that our “reward will be great in heaven,” we must also live the Beatitudes as taught by Jesus. To examine your progress, read again today’s Gospel: Matthew 5: 1-12. Are you among the “blessed?”

St. John Bosco recognized the struggles of young people and dedicated his life to serve them. Youth today also face trials, burdens, and temptations leading to distress and anxiety. Sensitive to their needs, may we treat them with Christ-like kindness, gentleness, and patience.

.@JenKiggans is exactly correct. Democrats are attacking VMI because it’s long been an independent institution that rises above petty partisan politics. In other words, it’s something they aren’t able to politicize, and they hate it for that reason.
Instead of focusing on the issues they promised Virginians—like affordability and public safety—Democrats are pushing a politically motivated takeover of one of Virginia's most respected institutions… VMI deserves support, stability, and respect—not a partisan power grab.
