Has there ever been anyone in the Trump administration who ever really mattered to Trump? Sycophants never learn. Itβs a form of narcissism.

Well let me know when you try to stifle a spontaneous laugh while in a meeting in a conference room with a bunch of suits and snot inadvertently flies out of your nose
You donβt have to be a republican or a democrat to be against war. You just have to be a person who is against war. It helps if you can see humanity in the stranger. War is not the language of a person who loves.
As we leave Black History Month, I have that (too frequent) disgust bubbling up at those who would whitewash our history and push back on the idea that our freedoms as a nation must be seen in light of our national and local efforts to restrict those freedoms on the basis of color.
We had this discussion (because they asked) and after I explained to the catechumens and the candidates the proper posture for the Lordβs Prayer, our pastor laughed. Heβs just happy (as am I) that they want to know Jesus.
I would like to recommend to you the new album by Alexander Malofeev, Forgotten Melodies. Piano, Russians composers, beauty.
Donβt worry, the Supreme Court will issue a stern warning that the Constitution has once again been trampled upon.
Oh, right. Never mind.
The latest episode of our podcast @deaconspod.bsky.social:
@deacondrew.bsky.social and @deaconmike.bsky.social have a wonderful conversation with Becky Eldredge, a spiritual director, retreat leader, and author of three books:
Especially for a pontificator like me.
Feb 12 Scripture
Solomon began extremely well but he lost God's favor (1 kgs 11:4-13) because of his infidelity to the Covenant. As a result, the kingdom was divided into two. Sin and evil are not merely private choices. Even our most private sins affect our families, our church, and our community.
I hope you get a chance to listen to this conversation with Becky. I know I found her inspiring!
A few weeks ago I was at a mass in our cathedral and the Cardinal burst out speaking in Spanish.
I hope no one was offended.
Cβmon haters. Get a life. Loosen up. Dance.
Perhaps Ms. Leavitt should consider resigning from her fake job.
Haha.
What an outstanding use of the power to pardon.
As usual. Thatβs why we love it.
Iβm in Puerto Rico and people are here are lovely.
Rhapsody on a theme by Paganini. Great recording by Dudamel and Yuja Wang.
Happy New Year!!
You made yourself like us,
β in your mercy grant that we may become more like you.
Son of the Virgin Mary, have mercy on us.
From the Intercessions of Morning Prayer.
Very interesting. Pope Leoβs former bossππ
I have to say, with all my feeble attempts at ministry, and active love, and service, I still really like getting gifts.
If you follow me on here, you may want unfollow me.
Florida Bishops: Can you suspend your enforcement of rounding up, locking up and deporting families you have deemed unwanted for the celebration of the birth of Jesus? You see the irony here right?
Washington: Hahahaha. No. Shut up.
Merry Christmas! As we celebrate the incarnation of Christ, let us earnestly search for Him in the eyes and hearts of every brother and sister we meet on our journey.
Let us always open our hearts and our homes to Jesus.
Merry Christmas!
Waiting to get my haircut and really hearing a different side of Christmas. The side where people are not looking forward to getting together with family. The side where some are planning getaways: Aruba, Disney.
No one is mentioning the real reason for the season.
Ministry never stops.
It might be nice if we spent more time feeding the hungry & less time killing peoples in international waters. Perhaps more time healing the sick and less time cutting off the funding for healing the sick. Work for economic justice, not gotcha trade wars that only hurt the most vulnerable.
Grow up.
I had such a great time with @deacondrew.bsky.social interviewing Maggi Van Dorn and Shemaiah Gonzalez! Have a listen!
A special #Advent episode of our #podcast @deaconspod.bsky.social just dropped!
