3 weeks ago | city-sentinel.com | Holden Lewis

Mortgage rates may keep climbing in June, continuing an unsteady upward march that began after higher tariffs were announced in April. Whether or not the tariffs remain in place pending judicial appeals, they affected interest rates in April and May. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has remained above 6.75% since the middle of April, and many buyers are bumping against their limits of affordability. In much of the country, home prices are rising more slowly than a year ago.

Rita Lotti lived from 1381 to 1447, a relatively long life in an era filled with violent conflict in her hometown of Roccaporena, near Cascia, in Umbria, Italy. But her sojourn had several lifetimes worth of sorrow and pain, transformational joys and foretastes of Heaven.
