Bishop Strickland, reflecting on the Passion and the saints, calls all to love as Christ loved: reminding us that true love isn’t just words or feelings but carrying real burdens. Whether it’s a suffering friend or a divided Church, every Catholic is called to pick up the cross for someone else. Through adoration, fasting, and quiet faithfulness, we share in Christ’s redeeming work. This is not optional. It’s how the world will know we are His.

In the wake of the tragic Texas floods that took over 50 lives, including many children, Bishop Strickland offers a powerful message of consolation and hope. Speaking directly to grieving families and communities, he draws on Scripture, the saints, and Church teaching to affirm that Christ does not abandon us in sorrow, but enters into it. The cross, he reminds us, is not an end but a ladder to heaven. This heartfelt reflection offers more than sympathy; it’s a call to unite grief with Christ and discover that even in tragedy, love and eternal hope remain.

Drawing from Scripture, Bishop Strickland calls the Church back to its true foundation, challenging today’s reliance on political strategy, branding, and emotionalism in place of prayer, sacrifice, and the Holy Spirit. With urgency and clarity, Bishop Strickland warns against constructing ministries, liturgies, or movements on human ambition rather than divine fire. From the suppression of reverent worship to the embrace of secular ideologies, he urges Catholics to return to what sanctifies: obedience, penance, and the cross. Only by building with heaven’s tools will the Church fulfill its mission and hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
