About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: For nearly 2 hours, President Joe Biden spoke via video call with China’s Xi Jinping, trying to keep the communist nation from helping Russia in its horrific and deadly invasion of Ukraine. Three aid workers for a Catholic charity operating in Ukraine were hurt last week when the van they were riding in was hit by artillery fire. Founder of the Vulnerable People Project and the Hope for Ukraine Fund, Jason Jones, joins to tell us more about that incident and how the volunteers are doing now. Meanwhile, some Yale law students disrupted an event hosted by Yale's Federalist Society featuring Monica Miller from the American Humanist Association and Kristen Waggoner of Alliance Defending Freedom, who were there to discuss a Supreme Court case regarding the First Amendment. Kristen Waggoner joins to talk more about what happened during the event and what it was like being in the room. And a Vatican group is hosting meetings on the situation in Syria. The country's civil war is entering its 12th year. Secretary General at Caritas Internationalis, Aloysius John, joins to give us an update on conditions in Syria. Finally this evening, today we celebrate the feast day of St. Cyril of Jerusalem.
