Read the stories in this episode:
- Catholics across the Middle East are reeling with shock and sorrow, and responding with prayer, amid joint strikes Israeli and U.S. forces launched on Iran Feb. 28, plunging the region into war.
- President Donald Trump's decision to initiate major combat operations against Iran in concert with Israel has raised debate within Congress over its war powers prerogatives, and questions about the justice of committing the U.S. to a Middle East war.
- What started out as a Feb. 27 student-led protest at the University of Notre Dame turned into a prayer gathering of thanksgiving, as a pro-abortion faculty member declined an institutional appointment after weeks of outcry.
- Life is a journey that requires trust and reliance on Jesus, who sometimes asks his disciples to leave everything behind, Pope Leo XIV said in a March 1 homily at a small parish in Rome.
- An Ohio mom and social worker has founded a new project to educate others about Catholic social teaching, while fostering conscience formation and spiritual solidarity.
