The Holy Father launched his six-day trip to the European country with a whirlwind first day of diplomatic visits and meetings with societal leaders.
A reading from the Book of Hosea
6:3-6
Let us know, let us strive to know the LORD;
as certain as the dawn is his coming.
He will come to us like the rain,like spring rain that waters the earth.”
What can I do with you, Ephraim?
What can I do with you, Judah?
Your loyalty is like morning mist,
like the dew that disappears early.
For this reason I struck them down through the prophets,
I killed them by the words of my mouth;
my judgment shines forth like the light.
For it is loyalty that I desire, not sacrifice,
and knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
A reading from the Letter of St. Paul to the Romans
4:18-25
He believed, hoping against hope,
that he would become “the father of many nations,”
according to what was said,
“Thus shall your descendants be.”
He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body
as [already] dead (for he was almost a hundred years old)
and the dead womb of Sarah.
He did not doubt God’s promise in unbelief;
rather, he was empowered by faith and gave glory to God
and was fully convinced that what he had promised
he was also able to do.
That is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”
But it was not for him alone
that it was written that “it was credited to him”;
it was also for us, to whom it will be credited,
who believe in the one who
raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
who was handed over for our transgressions
and was raised for our justification.
From the Gospel according to Matthew
9:9-13
As Jesus passed on from there,
he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post.
He said to him, “Follow me.”
And he got up and followed him.
While he was at table in his house,
many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples.
The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples,
“Why does your teacher
eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
He heard this and said,
“Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do.
Go and learn the meaning of the words,
‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’
did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”
At the centre of the liturgy of the Word for this Sunday there is a saying of the Prophet Hosea to which Jesus refers in the Gospel: "I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God, rather than burnt offerings" (Hos 6: 6). It is a key word, one of those that bring us into the heart of Sacred Scripture. The context in which Jesus makes it his own is the calling of Matthew, a "publican" by profession, in other words a tax collector for the Roman imperial authority: for this reason the Jews considered him a public sinner. Having called Matthew precisely when he was sitting at his tax counter – this scene is vividly depicted in a very famous painting by Caravaggio -, Jesus took his disciples to Matthew’s home and sat at the table together with other publicans. To the scandalized Pharisees he answered: "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick…. For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners" (Mt 9: 12-13). Here, the Evangelist Matthew, ever attentive to the link between the Old and New Testaments, puts Hosea’s prophecy on Jesus’ lips: "Go and learn what this means, "I desire mercy, and not sacrifice’". (…) God’s words have come down to us, through the Gospels, as a synthesis of the entire Christian message: true religion consists in love of God and neighbour. (Pope Benedict XVI, Angelus, 8 June 2008)

The pope spoke with hundreds of thousands of young people in Madrid on the first day of his six-day apostolic visit to Spain.
Many hundreds of Catholics joined the Eucharistic procession in D.C., which is part of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage traveling the country.
!['Witness to the whole world': Families gather for Eucharistic procession in Washington, D.C. - #Catholic - Along K Street in Washington, D.C., amid a humid morning on June 6, Catholics from across the area gathered to adore the Eucharist as it processed through the nationʼs capital. Despite the heat and humidity, many parents and grandparents packed their little ones into strollers or baby carriers and brought them out to view the Eucharistic pilgrimage as it made its way through D.C. The local procession was a partnership between the Catholic Information Center and the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage.

“I really like taking my kids to the Eucharistic processions for Corpus Christi,” Theresa Cambell said while pushing Augustine, three years old, and Rowena, nine months, in a stroller in the procession. “I think practical things really help them understand the significance of what is going on.” Campbell, who lives in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, took her children to the Catholic Information Center procession last year. Though she wasn’t raised going to processions or adoration regularly with her family, Campbell said the tradition was important to her as she raises her own children so that they can better come to understand the Church. A big part of this, she said, was her own active participation.“Children have a very natural orientation towards liturgy, and I think that the reverence that everyone has in the tradition actually does most of the teaching,” Cambell said. “And then, you know, we do explain that it is the body and blood of Christ and that the procession is for Corpus Christi, and we try to tie that into the liturgical year.”Maria and Pedro Estrada of Reston, Virginia, practice similar worship habits with their four children. The couple moved to the United States from Argentina six years ago and grew up attending similar events with their families. Estrada said she and her husband take their children to adoration regularly and practice family prayer to get them interested in Jesus and the Church.“At home, we pray a lot,” Estrada explained. “We pray the rosary in front of our kids, and they see us and they try to imitate us. They’re very interested in Jesus and His love for us, and we explain that all the things we have, and the way we are, is because of Jesus, and because He loves us. And it’s nice to Him that we, you know, give Him some of the love He gave us.”Julie Enzler of Alexandria, Virginia, helped take her 15-month-old granddaughter through the procession while her daughter volunteered with the Catholic Information Center.“What I appreciate about the procession through the city is the witness that we can give to the whole world of our Eucharistic Lord present in the midst of us, and to bring the power of his love to the streets,” Enzler said. “It’s something we try to do in person every day, hopefully, but just to make Him present in the lives of people who wouldn’t necessarily find Him.”Enzler said that all her grandchildren are being raised in the Catholic Church and attending Corpus Christi processions, even though she herself did not growing up. This, she hopes, will help them to orient their lives toward God.Enzler said she knows how valuable it is to bring Christ with you wherever you go, whether that be spiritually or in actuality.“Because the Church is the body of Christ, we all need each other,” Enzler explained. “We all need the witness of new life in the body. And the children need the witness of adults doing things that might be uncomfortable.” “For old people, it’s uncomfortable on your knees,” she continued. “And for other ages, maybe it’s uncomfortable to be seen practicing your faith or witnessing to your faith in the Eucharist, which is something that’s not obvious without faith.”Enzler said that she feels the United States is poised to accept Christ at this moment, and that showing the next generation of Catholics what faithful adoration looks like can help spread this.“I’m really grateful to the [Catholic Information Center] for offering this opportunity and for the word of hope that this event brings to the streets of Washington, D.C. at a time where the country seems particularly open to the practice of faith and the witness of faith,” she said. “I know there’s a lot of prayers begging more and more graces, so I’m grateful,” she said. “There’s always the grace that we can count on, but we can’t see or quantify.”](https://unitedyam.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/witness-to-the-whole-world-families-gather-for-eucharistic-procession-in-washington-d-c-catholic-along-k-street-in-washington-d-c-amid-a-humid-morning-on-june-6-catholics-from-across-t.jpg)

Benedictine monk finds priestly inspiration within Paterson Diocese community #Catholic – 
In his youth, Benedictine Brother Finnbar McEvoy prayed at Mass with the rest of the congregation for a much-needed increase in priestly and religious vocations. But as he prayed, the boy was actually thinking, “No, I’m not going to be a priest. I’m going to college and live a different life.”
As God would have it, Brother McEvoy, 34, graduated from college — several of them, in fact — on his way to a teaching career. But the path did not end there: this former member of Sussex County parishes of the Paterson Diocese, N.J., is now on track to be ordained as a Benedictine priest next year — a life he could not have imagined earlier.
BENEDICTINE BROTHER FINNBAR MCEVOY
Brother McEvoy, a monk of Saint Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, Penn., was ordained a transitional deacon — the last step before priesthood — on May 23 in the archabbey’s basilica. Seven men were ordained that morning, either as priests or transitional deacons. Brother McEvoy anticipates being ordained a priest at the archabbey on May 29, 2027.
“As a transitional deacon, I am configuring myself to Christ, the servant. I will do whatever he tells me to do — with alacrity, holding nothing back,” said Brother McEvoy, who has five siblings. “On my last stop before the priesthood, I am embracing the diaconal ministry. I am assisting the priests, including at Mass, and serving my brother Benedictines,” he said.
Brother McEvoy’s faith took root while he was a member of Our Lady Queen of Peace (OLQP) Parish in Branchville, N.J., and later St. Thomas the Apostle Parish in Sandyston, N.J. Years after, his vocation blossomed, in part, with the Benedictine monastic community in Morristown, N.J., located within the Paterson Diocese.
In 1991, Brother McEvoy was born as Tim McEvoy in 1991 in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., to Doreen Anne Binns of Hardyston, N.J., and the late Timothy Patrick McEvoy. The Benedictine-to-be started his early years in New York before moving with his family to Lafayette, N.J. He first attended OLQP, where he received his First Holy Communion.
Later, Brother McEvoy became associated with St. Thomas through Tom Costello, a St. Thomas parishioner and teacher at High Point Regional High School in Wantage, N.J., where the future priest graduated in 2009. Brother McEvoy received his confirmation after completing the parish’s Order of Christian Initiation of Adults.
Then, Brother McEvoy went to The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where he earned a bachelor’s degree in math and physics in 2013. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus and served as the university council’s grand knight for a year. He is also belongs to Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Eta Sigma and received the President’s Award of Catholic University.
At Catholic University, Brother McEvoy was inspired to discern his vocation by several priests and other male friends, some of whom entered the seminary.
In 2015, Brother McEvoy earned a master’s degree in high school math education from the University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame, Ind. From 2013 to 2017, he taught at Bishop Kenny High School in Jacksonville, Fla. Then, from 2017 to 2019, he taught at Delbarton School, an all-boys Catholic college-prep school run by the Benedictines in Morristown.

“I connected with the Benedictines because of their greater emphasis on common prayer, work, and community,” said Brother McEvoy, who lives with his fellow monks by the Rule of St. Benedict, which emphasizes mutual obedience, humility, and hospitality.
Brother McEvoy professed simple vows in 2021 as a monk of St. Mary’s Abbey in Morristown. He assumed the religious name Brother Finnbar, inspired by a 6th-century Irish monk who founded the city of Cork and was a famous teacher, especially of monks.
In 2022, Brother McEvoy began studies at Saint Vincent Seminary, where he earned a master’s in Catholic philosophical studies, summa cum laude in 2023, the year his father died. After transferring his vows in 2024, he made solemn profession in 2025 as a monk of Saint Vincent Archabbey.
Brother McEvoy’s appointments include assistant to the director of vocations and assistant to the prior, starting in 2024. He was named to the Archabbey Formation Committee in 2024. He has tutored Saint Vincent College students in physics and has assisted with retreats through College Campus Ministry and the Archabbey Vocations Office.
Brother McEvoy advises young men discerning a vocation to “talk to someone about it, particularly a priest. It will be a step in the right direction.”

![Educators weigh benefits and challenges of AI in the classroom – #Catholic – Educators are weighing the benefits and drawbacks of artificial intelligence (AI) and exploring how to successfully integrate the technology into the classroom.As Pope Leo XIV laid out in Magnifica Humanitas, AI must be used in a way that furthers human development, especially in the formational years of education.Educators are using AI tools to help them grade papers and offer extensive research capabilities, but they are simultaneously noting the need for community and connections that no technology can provide.Fernanda Psihas, a professor at Franciscan University of Steubenville, said the technology tools have not replaced human instructors and human connection is still the key to success in the classroom.Concerned about the ethical use of AI, Psihas said it is necessary to preserve the “human element” to enhance the future of education.“We obviously need to prepare the students for a world with AI,” she told EWTN News. “That means learning tools, but that also means practicing proper discernment.”The data science and physics professor said it would be “dangerous” for teachers to keep teaching as if nothing had changed.“If instructors are not AI-literate, then classrooms are going to run the risk of drifting into having students faking competence and avoiding the actual learning,” she said.Taking a “values-first approach” to AI, Psihas said she tries to keep herself and her students accountable when it comes to its use.“Use it to increase efficiency so you can focus on the learning, but if you do any more than that, youʼre actually destroying the learning process,” she said.Protecting academic integrityAware that “cognitive offloading” to AI tools could disrupt the learning process of students, Psihas said certain AI tools can be useful to protect academic integrity.“I even use AI to AI-proof my own assignments,” she said. “Iʼll run my assignments through AI to see an example of an AI response … if something in my classroom is AI-generated, my students know about it, and I kind of expect the same for my students.”While AI helps Psihas accurately grade multiple-choice tests and produce datasets, she said it cannot replace her ability to engage with students through mentorship.“Education is a lot more than just skills and information-transfer, but itʼs actually the formation of the whole person,” she said. “There’s guidance. You guide and nurture the students’ curiosity and their skills.”It “is about turning knowledge into wisdom and turning skills into virtue and character,” she said.Similarly, Notre Dame Law School professor and Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences member Paolo Carozza said we must ensure technology “is orienting us towards the fundamental understanding of reality, including the reality of ourselves and what weʼre made for or not,” Carozza told EWTN News.Pope Leo makes this clear in Magnifica Humanitas, that at the root it is “an integrated problem of cooperating with one another to rebuild our city that we want to live in, in the future together.”Education “plays a central role in this cooperative enterprise because weʼre forming the individuals that are then going to be putting the bricks together in the future,” he said.Advantages and disadvantages are ‘well mapped’AI’s “advantages and disadvantages are pretty well mapped,” Carozza said. AI can “positively enhance the reach of peopleʼs research and the knowledge that they can draw.”In contrast, “every educator, at every level, is seeing the really potentially drastic negative consequences of cognitive offloading and de-skilling of students' basic capacities to write and to think critically.”The “deeper challenge” for educators is “providing our students with a fundamental human formation that allows them to really think about what their personal relationship to technology is in their lives and how it affects it.”The positive and negative impacts of AI in education also differ based on age and must be addressed accordingly, said An Chih Cheng, professor at DePaul Universityʼs College of Education.“The pope warned about the danger of early exposure to digital technology,” Cheng told EWTN News.Children spending time watching screens “is not particularly conducive” for their “mental and cognitive development.”A lot of screen time for children “is passive learning” and is “devoid of social aspects that are critical for communal development,” he said.“Communality is a critical part of the pope’s idea that we are not by ourselves” and “we are all interconnected as one,” he said. Going “to the screen and being isolated” is “harmful for your own internality, your own individual growth, and also bad for communal development.”There are also risks of “digital harm” for teenagers, especially with social media use, which has “caused harm to individual teenagers in particular, even suicide,” Cheng said.Then in higher education, new technologies are often being used with “little guidance.”“For example, California [State University] signed a $13 million contract with Open AI to allow students and teachers to use ChatGPT,” he said. “But … if you just have the chatbot open there, it is absolutely not helpful for meaningful learning.”The universities are “kind of just buying these tools, convinced or led by the tech industry, thinking that they could deliver some kind of learning.”“But learning, as the pope has always said, is an inquiry, a truth-seeking endeavor that requires patience. You cannot just have an immediate answer like the prompt that gives an immediate answer,” he said.“You need to put in all the effort to seek out the truth. Thatʼs how we mentally develop — acquiring the truth.”Reimagining education in the age of AITo help students understand both the risks and benefits of AI, Carozza and Cheng are incorporating AI into their students' studies.In his seminar on law and technology, Carozza had his students take a new approach when studying their weekly scholarly works.“In addition to reading it directly and engaging in their own critical analysis of it, I actually required them to upload those papers into an AI tool and use the tool to analyze it,” he said.Then “they had to write … an essay comparing their analysis to the AI analysis, reflecting on what the use of AI was doing to their own cognitive abilities and processes.”This allowed the students “to reflect every week” and ask: “Is this displacing my ability to think? Is it helping it? How can I make it more the latter than the former?”“It was great because by the end of the semester they really had thought very deeply, in a continuous way, about their relationship to technology, what the appropriate limits were for themselves, and what to be cautious about,” he said.“That sort of reflection on who we are as knowing subjects, as free people — thatʼs exactly what the encyclical is asking us to do,” Carozza said.Cheng is also incorporating the technology into studies in his research method class where “AI can be used to help brainstorm some research questions,” he said.“More importantly,” AI “can help make things more accessible, because some of the statistical software is very expensive to purchase,” he aid. “I incorporate … statistical analysis that they can do at home. These tools are much [more] affordable than the super-expensive commercial software."Cheng also utilizes visual AI simulations so students “can see these virtually enriched environments,” which is “beneficial for preservice teachers [student teachers] to understand child development."The pope’s call is correct, that it is “not about using AI to replace teachers or professors but rather to incorporate AI in a way that can further human development and in a way that delivers … spiritual attainment,” Cheng said.](https://unitedyam.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/educators-weigh-benefits-and-challenges-of-ai-in-the-classroom-catholic-educators-are-weighing-the-benefits-and-drawbacks-of-artificial-intelligence-ai-and-exploring-how-to-successfully-integra.jpg "Educators weigh benefits and challenges of AI in the classroom – #Catholic – Educators are weighing the benefits and drawbacks of artificial intelligence (AI) and exploring how to successfully integrate the technology into the classroom.As Pope Leo XIV laid out in Magnifica Humanitas, AI must be used in a way that furthers human development, especially in the formational years of education.Educators are using AI tools to help them grade papers and offer extensive research capabilities, but they are simultaneously noting the need for community and connections that no technology can provide.Fernanda Psihas, a professor at Franciscan University of Steubenville, said the technology tools have not replaced human instructors and human connection is still the key to success in the classroom.Concerned about the ethical use of AI, Psihas said it is necessary to preserve the “human element” to enhance the future of education.“We obviously need to prepare the students for a world with AI,” she told EWTN News. “That means learning tools, but that also means practicing proper discernment.”The data science and physics professor said it would be “dangerous” for teachers to keep teaching as if nothing had changed.“If instructors are not AI-literate, then classrooms are going to run the risk of drifting into having students faking competence and avoiding the actual learning,” she said.Taking a “values-first approach” to AI, Psihas said she tries to keep herself and her students accountable when it comes to its use.“Use it to increase efficiency so you can focus on the learning, but if you do any more than that, youʼre actually destroying the learning process,” she said.Protecting academic integrityAware that “cognitive offloading” to AI tools could disrupt the learning process of students, Psihas said certain AI tools can be useful to protect academic integrity.“I even use AI to AI-proof my own assignments,” she said. “Iʼll run my assignments through AI to see an example of an AI response … if something in my classroom is AI-generated, my students know about it, and I kind of expect the same for my students.”While AI helps Psihas accurately grade multiple-choice tests and produce datasets, she said it cannot replace her ability to engage with students through mentorship.“Education is a lot more than just skills and information-transfer, but itʼs actually the formation of the whole person,” she said. “There’s guidance.
