As the day comes to a close, I wanted to make you aware that today is the memorial of Blessed Stanley Rother. I visited the beautiful shrine built to him in Oklahoma City just last month. It’s breathtaking. A powerful place of prayer. I’ve begun asking his intercession. If you do…

St. Alphonsa of the Immaculate Conception (1910-1946) was a Catholic Franciscan woman religious. She was the first person from India to be canonized a saint by the Catholic Church and the first canonized saint of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church.

Hey, @grok who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was.

People asked if I was going to see/review Fantastic Four. I didn’t know the story but after seeing a screenshot a priest sent me, I decided to go. My thoughts 👇🏻 youtu.be/QqBtuDcwq4M

Today we remember St. James, one of the 12 apostles. He was given a front-row seat to some of the most powerful moments in Jesus’s life—moments not all the apostles saw. What he witnessed, he was called to share. And so are we.#StJames #Catholic #Apostles #Jesus #saintoftheday

During Mass today, the phrase “on the third day” jumped out at me from the first reading. It reminded me how the more we read and listen to God’s Word, the more we begin to notice powerful patterns and phrases. Scripture becomes alive—and suddenly we’re not just hearing it, we’re…

Today was the first time I showed up to celebrate a funeral *checks obituary* Two weeks early because I thought “Are you free Thursday for a funeral” meant the next Thursday.

God doesn’t just feed us with bread—He nourishes our souls. And sometimes, He plants seeds of faith through the lives of His saints. Like St. Bridget of Sweden, whose visions, prayers, and love for Christ still inspire us today. 🌾🙏 #Faith #SaintBridget #SpiritualFood…

While planning a funeral today, something powerful happened. A man was drawn over and over again to this image—Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene. On her feast day. His awe reminded me: we should all be captivated by her encounter with the Risen Christ. #MaryMagdalene #catholic…

Yesterday I checked something off my summer 2025 bucket list. I headed to Northern Door, accompanied by a brother priest, and visited the Boynton Chapel on Lawrence University’s property in Baileys Harbor.

Have you ever gone out salmon fishing on Lake Michigan? I’ve been out more times than I can count—but this time, I was filming it step by step so you could come along for the ride. Early morning launch, rods in the water, and reeling in some big ones… check out the reel and…

Why did Jesus visit Martha and Mary? That’s what I pondered over in my homily this weekend. Here’s one possibility.

I just saw this… thought I’d share- Rhode Island celebrates Pope Leo declaration that baby's healing was a true miracle As the doctor headed to inform the parents of their child’s death, a nurse advised that the child began breathing normally, with a restored heartbeat,…

I promise you this, that if you fight the temptations for a little while, great peace will soon come. Your only mistake has been to show the “white feather” even a little. Be brave and generous for the sake of our dear Lord, who loves you so much, as you know so well. If you have…

Sometimes we move so fast we miss what God is trying to show us. Maybe He’s asking you to slow down—not everything needs to be rushed. Take a breath. Be present. Let God speak in the stillness. 🕊️ #SlowDown #GodsTiming #CatholicReflection

We can’t be like Pharaoh—stubborn and unwilling to listen. When God speaks, are you open or hardened in heart? Are you obstinate in sin? Ask Jesus to change your heart.
