Today we celebrate National Sibling Day — a reminder of the special bonds God places in our lives through family.

The Church offers a beautiful example in St. Benedict and St. Scholastica, twin siblings whose lives were united not only by family, but by a shared love for God. Their faith strengthened one another and continues to inspire the Church centuries later.

Siblings can be companions, encouragers, and sometimes the people who help lead us closer to Christ.

Take a moment today to thank God for your brother or sister — and tag your sibling in the comments to let them know you’re grateful for them.

St. Benedict and St. Scholastica, pray for us.

While affirming diplomacy, Archbishop Lori stressed that true peace begins in the human heart. Referring to Pope Leo’s Easter message, he reminded the faithful that peace is born of transformation in Christ, who greets His disciples, “Peace be with you.”

"At a time when the threat of expanded conflict and the suffering of innocent lives weigh heavily upon the conscience of the world, we are reminded that the deliberate targeting of civilians and the escalation of war can never be morally justified,” Archbishop Lori said.
