That’s rough for Kentucky but the NCAA tournament is not the worst place to be denied by Saint Peter, imo.

Good points re: getting to the gym. Thanks to the good work of @GrottoNetwork 1. Just start 2. Know your WHY 3. It should NEVER be "I don't know what I am doing here!" 4. Show up & it will become more than the gym. Might be true for Church, too. tinyurl.com/2t5vnjs2

Today I ask you to pray for peace in #Ukraine: Let us ask the Lord to grant that the country may grow in the spirit of brotherhood, and that divisions will be overcome. May the prayers that today rise up to heaven touch the minds and hearts of world leaders.

Let us all make greater efforts to promote mothers and to protect women. How much violence is directed against women! Enough! To hurt a woman is to insult God, who from a woman took on our humanity.

It’s often difficult to move from the logic of falling in love to the logic of mature love. To love is not the pretension that life should correspond to our imagination. Rather, it means to choose in complete freedom to take responsibility for life as it comes.

“Everyone dies, their bodies rot, and every face becomes a skull.” I loved talking with Sister Theresa Aletheia Noble, and I have thought about my own death at least once a day since we met ☠️ nytimes.com/2021/05/14/us/me…

Let’s not wait for our neighbours to be good before we are good to them, for others to respect us before we serve them. Let’s begin with ourselves.

We received two Emmy nominations this year at @GrottoNetwork - and I couldn't be prouder of this story on Humane Borders and its volunteers working to provide water for the thirsty at the US-Mexico border. Incredible work from @mburkefilms. Thank you so much, @chi_natas!

Listening to @mikiebarb's @nytimes #TheDaily on the life and legacy of #JohnLewis left me with two thoughts: #nonviolence is the most radical, courageous thing ever, and this is what living the #Gospel looks like. So, I wrote about it: bit.ly/3k6I2u9 via @GrottoNetwork

Because St. Damien of Molokai is in the news, thought I’d share this piece—one of the first I wrote for @GrottoNetwork—on what makes him so special: grottonetwork.com/make-an-im…

Kateri Tekakwitha, informally known as “Lily of the Mohawks,” was the first #NativeAmerican of North America to be canonized. She is also the patron saint of #ecology. We honor her legacy as an Algonquin–Mohawk laywoman by listening to the cry of creation and committing to act.

If you are looking for meaning in life but, not finding one, you throw yourself away with "imitations of love", such as wealth, career, pleasure, or an addiction, let Jesus look at you, and you will discover you have always been loved.

"But just because we cannot do everything doesn't mean we should not do something." Fr. Bryan N. Massingale, author of "Racial Justice and the Catholic Church," offers this advice & action steps: bit.ly/36WD90n. Read it if you want change to happen. #GeorgeFloyd #Thread

Today is Feast of Mary, Mother of the Church, and today's Gospel reading is Mary, standing under the Cross, grieving for her son. If you weep over that image, but not for the African American parents who grieve for their brutalized and murdered children, you're missing the point.

Dr. Fauci is a practicing Catholic who was educated by the Jesuits—Pope Francis’s religious order. Here’s a short reflection he wrote some years back on how his faith informs his work as a doctor.
