@TheStaad That fact that it’s intimidating is a great reason to build that relationship. God bless you my friend .

I have a beautiful relationship with and devotion to the Blessed Virgin. She has brought me far closer to Christ that I ever got on my own, and she has helped me grow immensely in my love for and friendships with women after having a hard heart toward many of them for much of my life
But I have found myself avoiding St. Joseph. He intimidates me. Thinking of him makes me reflect on my failures as a man and as a father (my children are grown now). I don’t feel I could ever become the kind of man he was
But I’m determined to try. I’m beginning the Consecration to St. Joseph. I expect to feel some things as I progress. It’s time
Prayers appreciated

@Franklin_Graham @realDonaldTrump Are you enjoying your 30 pieces of silver?

I had received some questions about President @realDonaldTrump's recent posts, and here are my thoughts:
I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ—that would certainly be inappropriate. I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post.
When I looked at the illustration, I didn’t jump to the same conclusion as some. There were no spiritual references—no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing. There is so much ill-intended speculation. I think his enemies are always foaming at the mouth at any possible opportunity to make him look bad.
And the illustration from someone else he reposted on Truth Social yesterday, I must say that I like the fact that this is a picture of Jesus whispering in his ear, or at least His hand on his shoulder, guiding him. We all need that—we all need to be listening to Jesus. Again, I think there is an attempt to spin this into something that it isn’t. Remember, President Trump didn’t draw this, he didn’t create it, he reposted it on his social media because he thought it was nice—I would have to agree.
I’m not a Catholic, I’m an evangelical, but I appreciate how President Trump has defended religious freedom for people of all faiths, including millions of evangelicals and Catholics in the U.S. and around the world. He is the most pro-Christian, pro-life president in my lifetime, and he doesn’t shy away from it. I would hope that the President and Pope Leo can meet at some point, and that the Pope would have the opportunity to thank the President for his efforts to protect religious liberty for Catholics and people of all faiths.

I must resign from @KofC. I did not realize I was joining a partisan political organization.
I will miss the fellowship and fish fries, for sure. So many good and decent men.
Knights of Columbus@KofC
Statement From Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly: In recent days, many Catholics and other people of goodwill have been deeply disappointed by the disparaging comments directed at Pope Leo XIV by the President of the United States. The Successor of Saint Peter is not a politician — he is the Vicar of Christ, entrusted with proclaiming the Gospel and shepherding souls. The Knights of Columbus has always stood in solidarity with the Holy Father, recognizing in him a spiritual father who calls the world not to division, but to unity, not to conflict, but to peace. In this moment, we reaffirm that commitment with clarity and conviction. At the same time, we recognize that faithful Catholics can and do engage vigorously in the public square, and that nations have a right and duty to safeguard the security of their own people — always in accordance with the demands of justice and the pursuit of peace. The Church does not ask Catholics to withdraw from civic life, but to engage with and elevate it — bringing to our civic dialogue the light of truth, respect for the dignity of every human person, and a steadfast concern for the common good. Pope Leo XIV has consistently called for peace, dialogue, and restraint in a world marked by war and suffering. The Holy Father’s words are not political talking points — they are reflections of the Gospel itself. Whether one agrees or disagrees with particular policy judgments, the Holy Father’s prophetic voice deserves to be heard with respect and engaged seriously. As Knights, we are called to be men of unity, as followers of Christ and patriotic citizens. I encourage all Knights of Columbus to pray for the Holy Father, to pray for civic leaders, and to pray for peace and those working to achieve it. And let us recommit ourselves to charity in our public discourse. May we be known not for echoing the divisions of our time, but for healing them. In a moment of tension, the path forward is not louder conflict, but deeper fidelity — to truth, to charity, and to the Gospel.

@KCOLLINS0259 @MarTmcfligh @MichaelRCaputo @KofC @Pontifex We can go around and round . All Im saying is telling people to sin is a horrible thing to do for a self identified Catholic .
English
@BurntHamz @MarTmcfligh @MichaelRCaputo @KofC @Pontifex Not all jails and prisons have visiting priest or Eucharistic ministers. I’m not moving anything…I am pointing out that communion is not the end all be all to receiving Christ
English
@KCOLLINS0259 @MarTmcfligh @MichaelRCaputo @KofC @Pontifex Prisons have priest for one and as for people in comas who can’t control the faculties we have the anointing of the sick . You’re moving the goal post .
English
@BurntHamz @MarTmcfligh @MichaelRCaputo @KofC @Pontifex That’s the only way to receive Christ?? What about Catholics in coma’s who can’t receive communion??? What about prisoners who don’t receive communion????
English
@KCOLLINS0259 @MichaelRCaputo @KofC @Pontifex No you said “boycott church” . At the church is where we receive the Eucharist which is the true body of Christ .
English
@BurntHamz @MichaelRCaputo @KofC @Pontifex If you need a structure to worship Christ……you are a sad reflection of a Catholic
English
@KCOLLINS0259 @MarTmcfligh @MichaelRCaputo @KofC @Pontifex So are you saying that “as a Catholic “ that Jesus is not present in the Eucharist ?
English
@MarTmcfligh @BurntHamz @MichaelRCaputo @KofC @Pontifex The building is not where Jesus is if you are a true believer. The @Pontifex HAS DEFILED THE CHURCH WITH HIS ACTIONS…..AND YOU USEFULLY IDIOTS ARE GOING TO HELP HIM DESTROY THIS COUNTRY INSTEAD OF FIGHTING TO SAVE IT.

@MarTmcfligh @KCOLLINS0259 @MichaelRCaputo @KofC @Pontifex All the people saying stuff like this have something pro Trump in their Bio . I voted for him but my Faith and church come before politics .

@KCOLLINS0259 @MichaelRCaputo @KofC @Pontifex That’s sinful! We’re not protties who don’t believe in Sunday obligation.

@KCOLLINS0259 @MichaelRCaputo @KofC @Pontifex Boycott Christ ? What a horrible message to send to people .
English
@MichaelRCaputo @KofC We as Catholics needs to send a strong message to @Pontifex AND BOYCOTT CHURCH THE NEXT FEW WEEK…….DRY UP THE COLLECTIONS
English
@CatholicCharm Depends on your diocese I think . My parish was nothing like that . It was very inclusive and they wanted us to bring the baby to everything .
English
If the Catholic Church wants you to baptize your baby then parishes should probably be more welcoming to those babies. Filling out a baptism form and this is so rude 💀 we don’t have to take a class bc this isn’t our first rodeo but what do they expect first-time parents to do if they can’t bring their baby along with them especially if the child is still young and breast-fed? Absolutely crazy to me
