Yesterday, @SenThomTillis, asked whether he thought the president’s tweets were racist, said, “I literally don't go on Twitter."
Last week, I visited our southern border with @VP and my Senate colleagues to see the humanitarian and security crisis first-hand. It is time for Democrats in Congress to step up, do their jobs, and help us end this crisis.

Every time he pushes boundaries he tests the reaction. When his GOP allies keep silent he has made them his collaborators; he owns them. He knows it. And he smiles. And then he pushes further. @marcorubio
We shouldn’t rise to Trump's bait, but how can we not? If we ignore him, we normalize his reckless behavior, and that’s even worse. ow.ly/9lZ030p7Oq8

Every day Sen. Marco Rubio does a great service by posting random quotes from scripture. Odds are that eventually he will get to: “You must not mistreat or oppress foreigners in any way. Remember, you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.” —Ex 22:21. Suggestions?
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,Nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in company with scoffers. Rather, the law of the LORD is his joy;and on his law he meditates day and night.
Psalms 1:1-2

What if you are insulted by Christ?
“But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. Woe to you who are well fed now for you will go hungry...Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.”

“Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.” Luke 37:52

Thanks to Kerry S Walters for a beautiful review: “This is a perfect book to use in one's personal devotions or to read in a parish. Get it, meditate on it, cherish it.” amzn.to/2JKfK76

Maryknoll Fr Bob McCahill has lived for forty years among the poor in Bangladesh. He doesn’t preach or seek converts among his Muslim neighbors—he simply serves the sick and practices mercy, as Jesus commanded. #GoodSamaritan. bit.ly/2xSGrAV

“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
