100 miles in 29 hours and 16 minutes. Fighting fear, doubt, and pain along the way. Thanks to all the supporters I had on this journey. We did it.

"He was a great missionary, he always wanted to reach those who didn’t know Jesus or those who, knowing Jesus, needed to learn doctrine.” pillarcatholic.com/p/great-charit…

I was chosen, without any merit of my own. Now, with fear and trembling, I come to you as a brother, who desires to be the servant of your faith and joy, walking with you on the path of God’s love, for He wants us all to be united in one family.

Peace be with you all! This is the first greeting spoken by the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd. I would like this greeting of peace to resound in your hearts, in your families, and among all people, wherever they may be, in every nation and throughout the world.

Pope John Paul II was shot on this day, May 13, in 1981, in St. Peter’s Square. In a powerful witness to the Gospel, he later forgave his would-be assassin, Mehmet Ali Ağca, even visiting him in prison to offer mercy and reconciliation.

“Do not be afraid!”. In his first Regina Coeli, Pope Leo XIV echoes the timeless call of St. John Paul II, urging young people to embrace Christ’s invitation. On the 62nd World Day of Prayer for Vocations, his voice resounds: “Accept the invitation of the Church and Christ the Lord!”

"Even today, there are many settings in which the Christian faith is considered absurd, meant for the weak and unintelligent. Settings where other securities are preferred, like technology, money, success, power, or pleasure." From Pope Leo XIV's first homily

“A bishop, therefore, has to have many skills. He has to know how to govern, to administer, to organise and to know how to deal with people. But if I had to point out one trait above all others, it is that he must proclaim Jesus Christ.” Pope Leo XIV

« God cares for us, God loves all of us, and evil will not prevail ! We are all in God's hands. Therefore, without fear, united hand in hand with God and among ourselves, let us move forward. »

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. -Heb 13:8-9

Pope Francis’ coffin is sealed. The final farewell officially begins.

With or without a pope, your duties as a Catholic are the same: -Pray -Read Scripture -Receive the sacraments -Perform works of mercy -Become a saint

St. Basil’s amazing (and sobering) “Admonition to the Young” (Letter 43). You won’t hear things like this very often among many modern Christians, who want life without consequences, ease, luxury, prosperity, and believe their grave sins don’t endanger their salvation. “You who live a faithful solitary life and practice piety, observe and learn the way of life according to the Gospel: Subjection of the body, lowliness of spirit, purity of thought, and control of anger. When pressed into service for the Lord’s sake, do still more. When defrauded, abstain from lawsuits. When hated, love. When persecuted, endure. When slandered, pray. Be dead to sin, be crucified for God. Transfer all your care to the Lord, that you may procure that end where there are hosts of angels, assemblies of first-born, thrones of apostles, seats of prophets, scepters of patriarchs, crowns of martyrs, and praises of righteous men. Be eager to be yourself numbered with these just ones in Jesus Christ, our Lord. To Him be glory forever. Amen.”
