Leo on Thursday formally suppressed the fundraising commission, abrogated its statutes and fired its members. He decreed that its assets would go to the Holy See as a whole, and that the Vatican patrimony office would oversee the commission's extinction. A new working group would be formed, with papally approved members, to come up with fundraising proposals and an appropriate structure going forward, the decree said. The decree was the latest sign that as 2025 comes to an end, history's first American pope is wrapping up the loose ends of Francis's pontificate. Leo is correcting problems as needed and fulfilling Francis's Holy Year obligations,…...

The word Manna brings to mind that mysterious, heaven-sent food " the "bread from heaven" that appeared each morning in the desert when the Israelites, newly freed from Egypt, cried out in hunger. Exodus 16:15: When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat." In Hebrew, the phrase "What is it?" " " " (m'n h) " means m'n, "what," and h, "it." Their question of wonder, "What is it?" became the very name of what they had been given: Manna. A few weeks ago, at the Deep Dive D.L. event hosted at the Manna Food…...

29+ min ago (557+ words) CHRISTMAS:" A TIME TO PAUSE The great thing about the Christmas and New Year season is that it gives us all (except church leaders and emergency workers) an opportunity to press pause, stop work " even if just for a day " to relax, chill and give thanks to God for life and for the birth of His Son, Jesus Christ. Being able to take a breather " amidst watching TV re-runs, visiting friends, opening gifts, attending the sales, and the Christmas and watchnight services " means we can carve out time to think, reflect and plan. Our thoughts may be tinged with grief, as we think about loved ones who have passed; or feelings of pride for reaching personal milestones; failure for not reaching them; or sadness at letting ourselves or others down. However, as Christians, no matter what our year has been…...
