Game recognizes game.

Most of us are focused on March Madness tonight, but Luca’s hard to look away from right now! New MVP levels, unlocked.

Luka Doncic with a career-high 60 points in Miami tonight, following his 40-piece in H-Town. In the prior 6 games of the now 8-game Laker win streak, he had 36, 30, 51, 31, 35, and 44 pts, and is averaging 40.9 PPG, 8.9 RPG, and 7.4 APG during the stretch.

First 60-point game by a Laker since Kobe’s last game 🤝

🚨 LUKA JUST DROPPED 60 POINTS 🚨 🪄 60 PTS 🪄 7 REB 🪄 5 STL 🪄 9 3PM It's the first 60-PT game for a Lakers player since Kobe Bryant scored 60 PTS in his final NBA game on April 13, 2016 vs the Jazz.

Not saying I’m J.R.R. Tolkien but this kind of completes the trilogy. Rory, as the savior of the Tour, is a perfect counterbalance to Phil, LIV’s dark knight.

Admiral William H. McRaven gave one of the best explanations for dealing with unfair situations I've ever heard. Everyone has heard him talk about making your bed, but this story might be even better... "Get over being a sugar cookie." The Sugar Cookie Story:

@whignewtons Congratulations, Sarah!

Coming to a book store (or mailbox) near you on April 14!!!

@k_yoder @NatCathPrBrkfst This is a treasure. Thank you, Katie.

The most beautiful thing given to everyone at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast: a quote & drawing by Jimmy Lai. “I am actually most grateful for God to have put me through this suffering. In order for me to get closer to His presence. What a joy.” @NatCathPrBrkfst #NCPB

@JLLiedl You’re right, Jonathan. Legitimate knock on Luka. That’s one of the things that made Jordan so special…MJ won MVP *AND* DPOY in ‘88! But offensively, I’d say Luka’s the best in the world, and top 5 all-time, possibly top 3 when he’s done.

@CaleClarke But he doesn't play defense?

Last night was exhibit A of why Luka is the best player in the Association. The very definition of “feeling it”.

Prayer of Pope Leo XIII to St Joseph, customarily said after the Rosary: "To you, O blessed Joseph, we have recourse in our affliction. And having implored the help of your thrice-holy Spouse, we now, with hearts filled with confidence, earnestly beg you to take us also under your protection. By that charity with which you were united to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and by that fatherly love with which you cherished the Child Jesus, we beseech you and we humbly pray that you will look down graciously upon that inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased by His Blood, and will help us in our need by your power and strength. Defend, O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen off-spring of Jesus Christ. Keep from us, O most loving Father, all blight of error and corruption. Aid us from on high, most valiant defender, in this conflict with the powers of darkness. As you once rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now defend God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity. Shield us ever under your patronage, that, following your example and strengthened by your help, we may live a holy life, die a happy death, and attain to everlasting bliss in Heaven. Amen." flic.kr/p/2s2YWTU 📷 Fresco from the seminary chapel of St Alban's College, Valladolid.

Most people know the warning from Costco founder Jim Sinegal to Costco’s previous CEO about raising the price of $1.50 hot dog combo: “I’ll f**king kill you.” This exchange Sinegal has with the Seattle Times is better:

“Some Saints are privileged to extend to us their patronage with particular efficacy in certain needs, but not in others; but our holy patron St. Joseph has the power to assist us in all cases, in every necessity, in every undertaking.” — St. Thomas Aquinas St. Joseph, pray for us!

Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating. —Simone Weil

Today is a solemnity, so if you're going to take a break from Lenten penances to celebrate St. Joseph, you should probably have some zeppole. ncregister.com/features/zeppo…

@bronwenmcshea @RealRCWomen Well-earned, and keep rockin’ it, Bronwen!

Sample is one of the most important supporters of the Latin mass. He represents an actually “traditional” Catholicism—a Catholicism invested in the Church and attentive to its teachings—unlike various trad Cath influencers. x.com/USCCB/status/2…
