Bought a set of rosary beads last week. To an Orthodox used to saying the Jesus Prayer, the rosary seems very complicated. Will do my best.
(I know I’ll canonically be Eastern Catholic, but I see nothing wrong with making room for some Latin devotions in my prayer life.)

This is horrific. When a person goes to a priest for help and this happens, it should be an automatic entry into Heaven. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on the victim and his family, and give him rest among the saints. 🙏
The archbishop of Warsaw, Poland, has asked the Vatican to defrock a priest charged with the killing of a 68-year-old homeless man who was beaten with an ax and set on fire.

My path to Christ included time spent as a Bahá’í. While I ultimately left, I can testify that the Bahá’ís I knew were good people who genuinely wanted to make the world a better place. They don’t deserve what the Iranian government has done to them, and is doing to them.
The abuse is most evident in Iran, which bans the faith and has been widely accused of persecuting its adherents, human rights advocates say.

I know the Eastern version in both English and Greek:
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages, Amen.
Δόξα Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ καὶ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι,
καὶ νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages, Amen.

Today is the feast day of St. Matthias; I am struck by the parallels between the Apostles electing St. Matthias to join their number after Judas' betrayal, and how the College of Cardinals elect the new Pope after the death of an incumbent - and the work of the Holy Spirit in both.
