Prime Minister Mark Carney reaffirmed Canada's "steadfast and unwavering support" for Ukraine in his first meeting with the country's president on Saturday in Rome.

His meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy was one of several sitdowns with world leaders taking place in the Italian capital, where Carney — a devout Catholic — has travelled to attend the inaugural mass of Pope Leo XIV. The Prime Minister is making a concerted effort to meet with other G7 leaders ahead of the global summit Canada is hosting in Kananaskis, Alta., next month.

James 3:17-18

"But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness."

Psalm 78:1–7

These days, with all the emphasis on godly parenting, too many omit the significance of “grandparenting.”

But God never ignored grandparenting. Consider the emphasis on grandparenting from the pen of the psalmist:

Police thank the public for assistance in locating a 14-year-old girl who was missing for over two weeks.

The teenage female was last seen on May 5, 2025. 

She has been safely located.

Prime Minister Mark Carney had a brief audience with Pope Leo XIV Sunday afternoon at the Vatican following the pontiff's inaugural mass in St. Peter's Square.

Carney was seated in the second row with his wife Diana for the mass, in a section amongst other world leaders and heads of state.

The prime minister, who is a devout Catholic, was one of the few world leaders to kneel during the blessing of the Eucharist, and was spotted at two instances taking a picture of the Pope on his phone to mark the occasion — before the mass started and after it had concluded. 

As the first Indigenous person ever to lead the federal department responsible for delivering services to First Nations, Inuit and Métis, Mandy Gull-Masty knows she has a daunting task ahead.

But the newly-appointed Indigenous services minister also knows what it's like to sit at both sides of the table — as a cabinet minister now and, until recently, as the grand chief of the political body representing 20,000 Cree people in northern Quebec.

Hebrews 6:10

"God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them."

Philippians 2:6–11

Late springtime is the season of yard sales and moving vans. People are on the move and wrestling with what to do with all the accumulated stuff, jammed into garages, shoved into closets, and packed into attics. And how about those storage spaces?

The same can be true of the rest of our lives. We hoard our time, keep our gifts and talents and resources for ourselves, and spend the choicest of our days investing in our possessions and guarding our priorities.

How different from Jesus who ...

The Winnipeg Jets’ record-setting season came to a sudden end Saturday night in Dallas, as Thomas Harley scored the series-winning goal in overtime to lift the Stars to a 2–1 victory in Game 6.

Dozens of people came out and made it a strike for a good cause at a special afternoon of bowling and community connection on Saturday.
