This is the movement of the Holy Family, leading people to Jesus through friendship, good conversation and the rosary.

So welcome to our rosary meditation.

We live in a social media age and in an intolerant age. We think we live in a

country with freedom of speech. We do not. You can be canceled, fired, or ostracized

based on almost anything you say on social media. What is worse? What you say may be acceptable today and tomorrow it is not.

There is no standard for truth or justice in social media and the cancel culture.

What you say are post on your personal social media

will be held against you professionally as well as socially. More than that, the

very structure of social media itself is often a trap for people who indulge in being overly opinionated and who are looking for an excuse to avoid the more pressing demands of the real world.

So should you speak out or post publicly against evil and falsehood?

That's the question.

Should we? Or should we not?

And if so, when?

While there isn't any exact formula, the following five prudential principles can help you make good decisions about when you should or shouldn't weigh in on a given issue.

So let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for, especially for

Olivia Canelie, little Thomas Lauer, and Cormac, my grandson.

Our first principle to guide you in your decision making on whether to speak out or not.

The first principle is that you don't have to tell everyone everything. Sure, you can never speak or endorse a lie, but sometimes you can

just keep silent. No one should be spouting their opinion on every issue or every current event.

If you're constantly proclaiming your views to the world, that's a sign probably that you need

to step back and be more selective about picking your battles.
