The solstice doesn't have any metaphysical power - but it was still a nice evening for an adventure and a meal and an occasion to give thanks to God: youtu.be/X4HXuu6JwBQ
There is nothing more important! #Eucharist

Wherever you may be this Memorial Day weekend, please find a time and place for Mass, Saturday evening or Sunday morning.
Masstimes.org is a very helpful resource for finding a church and a mass time near you.
I'm taking 20 students on pilgrimage to Ireland, join us in prayer and holy rest. (Leave prayer requests in the comments and I will offer them in the holy places.)

Enough already...
Local arts festivals are full of, often technically proficient but thematically bland and, more often lately, quasi-pagan art.
We need so many more people doing good, *non-cringy* Christian and Catholic art!
The White House and the president posting an AI image of Trump as the Pope.
And an American state attempting to force priests to break the seal of confession.
Societal self-destruction and the Catholic Church being the only thing left looks more and more likely by the day.
Hot take on something that happens all the time:
I think it's weird as hell and honestly quite rude when someone "talks" to my dog but blatantly ignores that I am also there.
Can you not spare any human decency for the actual human standing here?
Many people approach the Sacraments like a man presuming he gets to marry any woman he likes, just because he is a man, as if he had no obligation to get to know her, prepare himself or understand the nature of marriage.
Rather, let us be prepared, reverent and humble before God
My homily for Divine Mercy Sunday: youtu.be/7j365q5RwIo?...
A young lady came to mass tonight with her adult mentor. Why, because the other 6th graders in her class are worshiping demons and she was scared.
For generations we have failed to teach the faith and the devil is filling the vacuum.
Let us joyfully recover our teaching of Christ who is the Light!
Today begins the Novena for Pope Francis. As a parish, let us join in this prayer for our late Holy Father: www.usccb.org/novena-memor...
Perhaps it was not "prudent", but living the Gospel rarely is. "He Died to Be with HIs People - In Memory of Pope Francis"

Many will take up the Rosary at various prayer services for Pope Francis, and good!
But do not wait until the next tragedy or loss to pray it again!
Praying the Rosary, daily, outside of worthily receiving the sacraments, is *the best thing* you can do for your spiritual life.
And NO ONE knows or has any real idea about who the next Pope will be, where he will come from etc. (Anyone who claims to is selling something, mostly advertising.)
So please ignore any kind of prognostication, even from Catholics. Just pray and let the Holy Spirit work!
Secular reporting on Rome/Conclave etc is mostly a comedy of errors.
Seek out authentic Catholic media, people who actually know what they're talking about.
Pews will be full today of many who haven't come to Mass since last year.
Will we do anything about it??
Will you get to know them? Will you invite them back for next Sunday? Will you pray for them?
Resurrexit Sicut Dixit!
Embracing Holy Week, not just Easter, and our cross throughout the year, as part of the solution to violence in our country.

Like Moses I had to go over and look at this marvelous sight!

The devil seems to be working extra hard; doubt breaking out where there used to be faith, acceptance of sin where there would have been rejection of it.
We need more prayer, fasting and almsgiving from all Christians!
If someone went around dressed as a Jewish Rabbi but they weren't one or dressed as a Muslim for comedic effect, but was not in fact not, there would be massive repercussions.
Yet somehow it's okay to do the *exact same thing* with Catholic religious attire.
It isn't okay.
