Veni Creator: Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, come from Thy bright heav'nly throne; come, take possession of our souls, and make them all Thine own.

Jesus, I surrender myself to You. Take care of everything. -Surrender Novena

Happy All Hallows Eve!!

After Mom died, I asked dad if he wanted to move into the rectory with me, and he agreed. His first night in the rectory, the emergency line rang at 2:30 AM. I jumped out of bed and threw my Cassock on, got the dog ready and opened my bedroom door to find dad standing there with his rosary and iPad in hand. He has joined me for every hospice, hospital, and death call since he moved in with me. He stays in the car and prays his rosary, watches the dog and if I take too long, he plays sudoku. This is the man I was blessed to grow up with, a man he has spent 87 years becoming. This is the man I model my life after. Fidelity, service, strength under control, sacrifice…all of that and more. Happy birthday dad. I love you so very much.

St John Vianney, pray for us and our dear priests 🖤

Yay, it’s #McHappyDay!!! Every item gives support to Ronald McDonald Houses - a home away from home for families with children in hospital or receiving life saving treatments. They do incredible things with these funds, so go get some nuggies or some new socks. THANK YOU 💛

John in the Easter Gospel:

Today the power of Easter calls you to roll away every stone of disappointment and mistrust. The Lord is an expert in rolling back the stones of sin and fear. He wants to illuminate your sacred memory, your most beautiful memory, to make you relive your first encounter with him.

Thank you, dear priests, for the gift of yourself and for your heart that is united to Jesus, the Bridegroom and Shepherd of souls. We, the Church, the Bride, are praying for you. May you be deeply encouraged these Holy Days by the One who has chosen you for Himself.

I love praying with this painting at the beginning of Holy Week: “Christ's farewell to Mary” (by Piotr Stachiewicz)

For the kids in the back: There is no “my truth/your truth.” There’s my opinion/your opinion. But Truth is true whether you believe it or not, and it does not come from you or me.

It could be said that while charity is the greatest of the 3 theological virtues, in practice, hope is the most important. As long as hope remains, love develops. If hope is extinguished, love grows cold. A world without hope soon becomes a world without love. Fr JacquesPhilippe

A special message from our guy @HamlinIsland. ❤️💙 #LoveForDamar | #ForDamar

I remember being curious about #PopeBenedictXVI after my spiritual father JPII died; 1 of the 1st things I learned is that they were really really good friends & that his writings were easier to read! Their friendship always stayed with me. May they rejoice together, triumphant.

I don't think there is a word in the English language that fully encapsulates just how evil this is.
