Critical attention has also come to Biden and his family closer to their home in Delaware, as the president’s son Hunter Biden became the first child of a sitting president tried for a crime. A jury of Delawareans determined on June 11 that Hunter Biden committed three felonies when he drug-induced tremor purchased a gun while actively using drugs. The conflict in Palestine was not the only war to characterize Biden’s presidency.

News of the shooting peppered many Sunday sermons, mirroring mainstream religious calls for unity and prayers for the Pennsylvania victims. In Tennessee, Bishop Joseph W. Walker III, senior leader of Nashville’s Mt. Zion Baptist Church, a historically Black church, called on both sides of the political aisle to unify. Grow closer to Christ on your recovery and spiritual journey by reflecting on the daily Mass readings through a Catholic and recovery perspective.

Good news—this is your 5th America article this month.

But over the last 80 years, as with most of our culture, the 12-step communities have sometimes become more secularized. While Weeman returned to his Catholic faith as part of his journey toward sobriety, there are many Catholics and their loved ones who are mind matters affected by active addiction. Recovery volunteers have gotten the program off the ground and gracious facilitieshave offered meeting rooms. Each meeting rotates a chairperson, and a three-page reflection on the Sunday readings guides our recovery discussion.

I had grown up nominally Catholic, but lost touch with my faith pretty early on. As we prayed that prayer, though, it brought this sense of peace. I collapsed in the sand on the beach, pulled out my phone, and started calling my closest friends and Mom and Dad.

Biden rises in the Senate, joins Obama

Over 3,600 organizations were closed since 2018, including a Jesuit university, for not reporting the origin of their funds. Richard Goldinger, Butler County district attorney, had earlier told multiple media outlets that an audience member was killed and so was the shooter, and that another person is in serious condition. In his post, Trump extended his condolences to the family of the rally attendee who was killed. “Americans must join in solidarity to condemn today’s act of political violence and violence in all forms. Working together, we can resolve our differences through peaceful dialogue and conquer the sin of hatred,” he said.

Below are four ways that addiction and unhealthy attachments create insanity in our lives. On Aug. 23, 2008, Biden was announced officially as Obama’s running mate as national media camped outside his Greenville home on Barley Mill Road. It was a momentous moment of redemption for the two-time presidential election loser, but also a gleaming moment of pride for Delaware with both state Democrats and Republicans cheering his pick.

“And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and my country for me to stand down and to focus solely on my duties as President for the rest of my term.” The FBI identified the gunman as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, outside Pittsburgh. Crooks was killed by Secret Service agents moments after gunfire erupted at the former president’s rally. Pastor Anthony Romo advised the congregation at Phoenix First Apostolic Church to keep leaders on all sides of politics and all levels of government in their prayers. Dolan called the act another sign of a “very divided and contentious political year” in the country.

But we also serve people recovering from food-related compulsions, technology addictions and pornography abuse. We also have groups for families — children, adult children and spouses impacted by a loved one’s addictions. Perhaps God’s plan is to lovingly reach the many in our Catholic communities who are wounded and scarred by addictions, compulsions, and unhealthy attachments. Good people trading the connection and hope found in programs like CIR for the empty promise that tomorrow will somehow be different. CIR also gives fellow Catholics who have found recovery an opportunity to encourage another’s healing process to begin. God is so good, and Catholic In Recovery is a very applicable, life-changing byproduct of that goodness.

Bishop Robert Barron of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, soon after the news of the shooting broke. Twelve-step groups do not maintain a particular religious affiliation, and this can be beneficial for those who are weary to dip their toes wholeheartedly into religion. However, “a Higher Power,” or a “Power greater than ourselves,” to be effective, cannot remain abstract. “The first thing I had to learn in my recovery was that there is a God and it’s not me,” said Janet Manecke, who organizes a chapter of Catholic in Recovery (CIR) at St. Timothy Catholic Church in Mesa, Ariz.

It would then be followed by a binge watching of what God and I might have accomplished together. A life where I hadn’t been so proud, so secretive, so determined to fix everything myself. I would watch episode after episode of a life where I stopped blaming the people in my past or present and intentionally walked with God to become all I was created to be.

“We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed.” Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro identified the man killed in the shooting at Trump’s rally in Butler as Corey Comperatore. Shapiro said he spoke with Comperatore’s wife and daughters and described him as a father of two girls, a firefighter and an avid supporter of the former president. At an interfaith rally on Sunday in Milwaukee, organizers worked to shed light on what they saw as the dangers of Christian nationalism. “We need to pray for our country,” Walker said. “It doesn’t matter what your political position is, your stances, etc.

Archbishop Samuel Aquila warns of the consequences of the legalization and cultural acceptance of drugs. But for recovering men and women who already have a deep relationship with Jesus Christ or the Trinity, that might be a turn-off or just unsatisfying. Catholics should have a community that encourages them to tap into the true presence of Christ. With Lent underway, many people are making resolutions for these 40 days.

The founders of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) answered with a clear “no.” In the face of true addiction, will power alone is not enough. Even if moderation is intended, it is impossible to maintain and the most powerful desire to stop is useless. As more than one author has pointed out, Christian psychology has a long past but a short history. Christians have practiced psychology (unofficially) for thousands of years but officially for only about fifty. St Paul’s writings were heavily psychological (see Romans 7, for example) and over the intervening two millennia, many of the faith’s leading theologians like Augustine and Aquinas have written extensively about psychology.

The relic is a tiny bone fragment of St. Mary Magdalene, who — according to the Christian faith — traveled with Jesus Christ during his lifetime and was the first witness of his resurrection. It had been brought to Utah in 1918 by Bishop Joseph S. Glass, who acquired it while on a trip to France. “It has no value, (but) it’s priceless at the same time. It’s our history of who are as a cathedral parish,” the Very Reverend Martin Diaz told KSL-TV.
