About this sermon

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: President Joe Biden, in the coming days, will announce a brand new security assistance package for Ukraine. Just last week, the U.S. okayed an $800 million military aid package. Meanwhile, ethics standards are a hot topic on Capitol Hill, as some lawmakers are wondering why Supreme Court justices don't have ethics guidelines, including recusals. A group of Democrats are pushing legislation to force the justices to adopt a code of conduct. And, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is sending buses carrying illegal immigrants to Washington DC as a visual signal of the border crisis. President of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, Alfonso Aguilar, joins to talk more about the buses arriving in DC and whether he thinks they are having the impact that Governor Abbot hoped for. Tensions between Israel and Palestine are on the rise. Over 150 people were injured at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, located on the Temple Mount, and more incidents have occurred this week. Managing Director of the Coalition of Jewish Values, Rabbi Yaakov Menken, joins to talk more about the recent incidents. Finally this evening, the Thouret Foundation, an international agency of the Sisters of Charity, is celebrating 10 years of service. Coordinator of the Thouret Foundation, Sr. Maria Luisa Caruso, joins to tell us more about her foundation and the figure of St. Jeanne-Antide Thouret.
