Prominent calls are being made for the federal government to adopt newly-introduced recommendations, following a report by the government-appointed Envoy to Combat Islamophobia.

Today's Headlines: The FBI is in Utah chasing down leads in the Charlie Kirk assassination, releasing video of the suspected gunman's escape and offering $100K for tips. Meanwhile, Trump plans to award Kirk the Medal of Freedom, VP JD Vance escorted his casket, and MAGA lawmakers are pushing for a Capitol statue. Security scares piled on, too—Capitol Police cleared a bomb threat at DNC HQ and multiple HBCUs went into lockdown after threats, all later deemed not credible. Bloomberg dropped 18,000 Epstein emails showing his tight post-conviction ties with Ghislaine Maxwell, plus a spreadsheet of $1.8M in gifts and payments. Across the pond, Britain's ambassador to the U.S. got fired after Epstein's “birthday book” and emails revealed his buddy-buddy relationship with the disgraced financier. On the economy, grocery inflation hit the highest since 2022—coffee up 20%, beef up 16%, even bananas pricier—thanks in part to tariffs. And abroad, Brazil's ex-president Jair Bolsonaro was convicted of plotting a coup, including assassinations of Lula da Silva and others, and sentenced to 27 years. Unsurprisingly, he's crying “witch hunt” as his supporters riot.

Voici l'Évangile du lundi 1er septembre 2025 : « Il m'a envoyé porter la Bonne Nouvelle aux pauvres » (Lc 4, 16-30) En ce temps-là, Jésus vint à Nazareth, où il avait été élevé. Selon son habitude, il entra dans la synagogue le jour du sabbat, et il se leva pour faire la lecture. On lui remit le livre du prophète Isaïe. Il ouvrit le livre et trouva le passage où il est écrit : L'Esprit du Seigneur est sur moi parce que le Seigneur m'a consacré par l'onction. Il m'a envoyé porter la Bonne Nouvelle aux pauvres, annoncer aux captifs leur libération, et aux aveugles qu'ils retrouveront la vue, remettre en liberté les opprimés, annoncer une année favorable accordée par le Seigneur. Jésus referma le livre, le rendit au servant et s'assit. Tous, dans la synagogue, avaient les yeux fixés sur lui. Alors il se mit à leur dire : « Aujourd'hui s'accomplit ce passage de l'Écriture que vous venez d'entendre » Tous lui rendaient témoignage et s'étonnaient des paroles de grâce qui sortaient de sa bouche. Ils se disaient : « N'est-ce pas là le fils de Joseph ? » Mais il leur dit : « Sûrement vous allez me citer le dicton : “Médecin, guéris-toi toi-même”, et me dire : “Nous avons appris tout ce qui s'est passé à Capharnaüm : fais donc de même ici dans ton lieu d'origine !” » Puis il ajouta : « Amen, je vous le dis : aucun prophète ne trouve un accueil favorable dans son pays. En vérité, je vous le dis : Au temps du prophète Élie, lorsque pendant trois ans et demi le ciel retint la pluie, et qu'une grande famine se produisit sur toute la terre, il y avait beaucoup de veuves en Israël ; pourtant Élie ne fut envoyé vers aucune d'entre elles, mais bien dans la ville de Sarepta, au pays de Sidon, chez une veuve étrangère. Au temps du prophète Élisée, il y avait beaucoup de lépreux en Israël ; et aucun d'eux n'a été purifié, mais bien Naaman le Syrien. » À ces mots, dans la synagogue, tous devinrent furieux. Ils se levèrent, poussèrent Jésus hors de la ville, et le menèrent jusqu'à un escarpement de la colline où leur ville est construite, pour le précipiter en bas. Mais lui, passant au milieu d'eux, allait son chemin.   Cet enregistrement est proposé bénévolement pour répandre la Parole de Dieu
