The Sacrament of Reconciliation restores our unity with God through the forgiveness of sins and the infusion of sanctifying grace. This generates the inner unity of the person and unity with the Church. It fosters peace and unity within the human family. One might ask: do those Christians who bear serious responsibility in armed conflicts have the humility and courage to make a serious examination of conscience and to go to confession?

@BlakeDuDonis Congrats- what an honor to be there for it. You make us all proud to be Stags 🦌

Been able to reflect the last 24 hours & man, what a ride. 200 people sending us off at the hotel. Former players coming to support. Parents of players already graduated coming back. Staff, other coaches, support on support on support. There is nothing like being a Stag. 🦌

Four years as a head coach. Three NCAA Tournament appearances. Two Top 25 rankings in the past three years. A career record of 102-26. A five-out style players and fans love. All this at just 34 years old. Carly Thibault-DuDonis. If you don’t know, now you know.

𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘-𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐄𝐃‼️ Checking in at #⃣2⃣5⃣ in the latest @AP Top-25 poll! 🏀🤘

@BlakeDuDonis Unreal success! Congrats. Go Stags 🦌

Look, rankings don’t “matter” in the grand scheme, but to ignore what it signals would be silly. The fact that Fairfield is now consistently in the national conscience is pretty cool. From never ranked to Top 25 twice in 3 years is an honor. Proud & hungry for more! 🤘🏽🦌

Faced with the possibility of a tragedy of immense proportions, I make a heartfelt appeal to all the parties involved to assume the moral responsibility of halting the spiral of violence before it becomes an unbridgeable chasm. May diplomacy regain its proper role, and may the well-being of peoples, who yearn for peaceful existence founded on justice, be upheld. And let us continue to pray for peace.

This aged well…

Underscoring Pope Leo’s call for just and peaceful relations among nations, three cardinals have issued a statement on U.S. foreign policy

This has been an unserious day of college football. Nice work everyone.

The difference between a bye and missing the playoffs- one blown call

Here is a wild idea. Get rid of the committee which is filled with dishonest idiots and just take the top 12 in the AP poll. Probably solve a lot of problems

These conversations are above my pay grade, but Connecticut has an exciting pro sports opportunity with @ctunited. @MLS & @MLSNEXTPRO are eager to be here, bringing great potential to our state and communities. Proud to support a team and league committed to growing soccer in CT!

@BlakeDuDonis Fear the 🦌! Keep fighting

Lots to improve on, and we will. Proud of our fight even when it was clear the win was going to allude us. We will continue to strive to win this games. Grateful for the opportunity. Game 100 for our staff; 77-23. Not too shabby. Nothing like being a Stag 🤘🏽🦌 #GoStags

Breaking News: America’s Roman Catholic bishops issued a rare statement rebuking the Trump administration’s aggressive deportation campaign. nyti.ms/4hX1lnT

U.S. Bishops Issue a “Special Message” on Immigration from Plenary Assembly in Baltimore As the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) gathered for their Fall Plenary Assembly in Baltimore, the bishops issued a Special Message addressing their concern for the evolving situation impacting immigrants in the United States. It marked the first time in twelve years the USCCB invoked this particularly urgent way of speaking as a body of bishops. The last one issued in 2013 was in response to the federal government’s contraceptive mandate.

No, Connecticut does not need to take back SNAP benefits already sent to the 360,000 people who depend on them for food and who should have never been caught in the middle of this political fight.

@BlakeDuDonis Nice win!

Same.
