Image via Gilbert Parmonangan / Shutterstock. At Charlie Kirk’s public memorial in Arizona, his widow Erika urged mourners to “mark your soul again and again” through daily choices for Christ, quoting Charlie’s journal about how each decision leaves a mark on the soul. Timmerie guides you through Erika’s faith-filled call to prayer, Scripture, Sunday worship, and perseverance under trial. What happened at the memorial The tribute took place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday, September 21, 2025. You might have seen Erika’s address, which many described as the most moving moment of the day. Her message centered on grace, forgiveness, and a life set apart for God. The heart of Erika’s message, as Timmerie highlights Timmerie zeroes in on a small, potent line from Charlie’s journal that Erika read aloud: “Every time you make a decision, it puts a mark on your soul.” From that seed, Erika invited people to "choose Christ again and again. Pray again. Read Scripture again. Go to Sunday Mass again. Break from the shackles of sin. She reminded everyone that discipleship is hard, and that Jesus promised the cross, not comfort. Timmerie then connects Erika’s call to the sacramental life. When good choices bring us close to Christ, we stay grafted to the Vine. When sin stains the soul, Confession restores us. This is classic Catholic spirituality: repeated acts that train love and form the will. And it is for every state of life, not only for public figures like Charlie Kirk. “Mark your soul” in Catholic terms -Prayer each day. Short prayers through the day keep the heart near God. -Scripture each day. The Gospels shape our choices and our speech. -Sunday worship every week. We keep the command – we receive the Lord. -Confession as needed. Grace wipes the stain and strengthens resolve. -Small sacrifices often. Love costs. The cross is our sign. Erika’s counsel matches time-tested Catholic practice. It turns grief into intercession, it turns shock into witness, and it builds a community that helps new believers grow. Here are some practical things you can do this week to practice holiness: -Welcome the seeker next to you at Mass. -Invite one person to pray with you this week. -Make the sign of the cross before meals – in public – with quiet courage. -Choose the good again. Then choose it again tomorrow. The saints made saints. That is how grace spreads – it starts with one small choice that leaves one clear mark on one willing soul.

Image via Sathyam_19 / Shutterstock. What did Charlie Kirk want his legacy to be about? His work? His mission? His family? Timmerie shares a powerful reflection on what Charlie Kirk himself once said he wanted to be remembered for. In an interview not long before his tragic death, the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was asked how he hoped people would remember him. His answer was simple yet striking: “I want to be remembered for courage for my faith.” Timmerie reminds you that courage isn’t the absence of fear – it’s acting in spite of fear. Whether it was launching Turning Point as a teenager, debating on hostile college campuses, or defending life and family in the public square, Charlie prayed before each appearance: “God, use me for your will.” His refusal to compromise on truth showed the kind of conviction that shaped both his public witness and private devotion. Timmerie mentions that Charlie's greatest joy wasn’t found in politics or fame, but in family. He often encouraged young women not to sacrifice marriage and motherhood for career ambition, and he delighted in sharing stories of his little daughter running to hug him after long days on the road. He and his wife had just celebrated her third birthday shortly before his death. Charlie Kirk’s legacy reaches beyond politics. He saw his mission as fighting for the soul of America, shaping hearts and minds toward faith, truth, and life. His prayerful dependence on God and his devotion as a husband and father reveal a man striving to live with fortitude even in the face of fear. Charlie died the way he lived – committed to truth, unafraid of opposition, and rooted in faith. His life poses a question for all of us: do we have the courage and fortitude to say, like Samuel, “Here I am, Lord, use me for your will”?

Timmerie shares a powerful story about traveling with her newborn son and being asked a surprising question: “Miss, is he expensive?” That moment opened the door to a bigger reflection – what does it really cost to raise children, and what actually matters most in parenting? Cultural headlines claim it takes nearly $29,000 a year to raise a young child, but Timmerie challenges that myth. She explains that raising kids doesn’t require luxury strollers, designer nurseries, or endless activities. Instead, the true “cost” of children is not money – it’s the gift of time, presence, and love. Parenthood is about embracing the sacrifice and joy of raising children with faith, generosity, and simplicity. She also brings up how raising kids is a visible witness to others. Whether your children are peacefully sleeping in a carrier or throwing a tantrum in the grocery store, the way we live parenthood can make it look approachable – or impossible – to a world that is increasingly unfamiliar with family life. For Catholics, this is also a chance for quiet evangelization, showing that family life is not only doable but beautiful, even in its hardest moments. Timmerie reminds you that what really matters in raising children is not the dollars in the bank but the quality of our presence, the discipline we lovingly provide, and the sacramental life we share with them. Marriage and parenthood, she says, is the boldest risk of our age – and the most rewarding.
