@steveinpursuit @T8Jake @ThomasEWoods Hahahaha! Yes💪🙏🏼💙welcome home!

Eight years ago, I interviewed @ThomasEWoods about Catholicism, and at the end of the episode, I told him "Well, I'm still open to Catholicism. Maybe I'll see you at Mass some day." But really, I was just being polite. I would have put the chances of conversion at less than one percent. Technically possible (hey, anything can happen), but extremely unlikely for somebody with my hyper-independent approach to philosophy. The trajectory at that time was looking like I'd end up with a bespoke religion -- a religion with one member, myself, attempting to synthesize everything I've learned together into a coherent whole. Well... look who got the last laugh. I think Tom was right. Today, my wife and I joined the Church and were confirmed Catholic. A totally unexpected plot twist in my pursuit of truth.

@KnowsPascal Love it!

Is my dude rocking a scapular?

@carmenL_v2 @watchingdaisies @JamesCo50723189 💙🙏🏼

I ask everyone, in this moment, to still your heart and turn your spirit toward prayer. Our dear brother and Patriot @JamesCo50723189’s son has been in a serious car accident and is in urgent need of divine covering. Please call upon the Lord for His healing hand, His mercy, and His peace to rest upon this young man. May the angels of protection surround him, may every injury bow to the name of Jesus, and may strength and comfort flood his family during this trial. Let us come together in faith, believing that nothing is beyond God’s power. 🙏 Thank you for standing in unity and lifting him up before the throne of grace. Amen.

Jesus, I trust in you!

@angelojello74 Rock star!

My neighbor came over around 600pm. She had a problem with her hot water tank. The problem was a leak. The tank is done. She was going to call a plumber but I told her I’ll take care of it. A plumber on a weekend would be crazy expensive. I went to shut the water off to the tank. The water valve wouldn’t turn. It’s also done. I shut the water off at the meter. Lucky I had some valves here at the house. I fixed that. Told her tomorrow we can run out and get a new tank and I’ll put it in. I know she doesn’t have a lot of money. She’s elderly and all alone. So my son and I will take care of it. She offered to pay. I told no, just get us a pizza for lunch.

@hayleycaronia @realJennaEllis Pray and work!

I'm a Christian, unmarried woman in her 30s. I'd love to get married and have children. Just because I haven't experienced those things yet, doesn't mean I don't know that they are good, and what women should strive for. I do want to ask though, what should unmarried Christian women do in their "waiting season"? Settle? Shut up? Be utterly boring and unsuccessful? Live at home off of our parents until we meet someone to take care of us? Work less hard so that men will be more apt to pick us up? What does that say about what men want? Why would a masculine man be threatened by a woman who is passionate about her career and hobbies? And why is it the assumption that a woman's passions and skills aren't transferrable to motherhood? Most working women I know ARE feminine and would LOVE to be traditional SAHMs!

@b_fink Love this! 🙏🏼♥️💪

This is a Divine Mercy story. Twenty odd years ago, I went to Confession. Had very good reason to do so. Told the priest, "I don't think God can forgive this." The priest didn't hesitate. "Well that's bullshit." (Priest was from Melbourne, so imagine this line spoken in an Australian accent). Then he said: "Jesus is the King of Mercy." My penance was to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. I told the priest I didn't know what the Divine Mercy Chaplet was. So he handed me a pamphlet and told me to use a rosary to pray the Chaplet. I told him I didn't have a rosary. He said, "Bullshit. You do now." At which point he pulled a rosary out of his pocket and gave it to me. It was his personal rosary. He also told me to get my hands on a copy of St. Faustina's diary "Divine Mercy in my Soul," which I literally found on the parish's "book giveaway" table at the back of church as I was walking out after Confession. Fast forward 20+ years. Our first-born child was baptized on Divine Mercy Sunday. And our sixth child is Magdalene Faustina (it took that long because we had four boys between daughter 1 and daughter 2). So yeah, I guess you could say today is a pretty important day for me, my wife, and our family. Jesus, I trust in you!

@roddreher Amen brother! These guys are cringy! Talk about selling out to stardom

"Influential"? These guys are all Boomer liberals, Francis appointees who do not represent the mainstream of US Catholic opinion, and certainly not where the spiritual energy is among the laity. Nor the future of the Catholic Church in the US.

@Erin4Parents @AnneMidgley1 🙏🏼⭐️♥️💪

5 years ago, my little girl was secretly being groomed and transitioned at her public school. 4 years ago, she was still lost in a dark cloud, suicidal, identifying as a “boy” named Toby. Last night, she went to her first prom with her boyfriend — glowing with confidence and grace. Thank you, Jesus, for saving her. 🙏🏼 What the enemy meant for evil, God is turning into good. If you’re a parent fighting for your child right now and it feels hopeless, please hold on. There is light on the other side. I won’t stop fighting for your horror story to have a happy ending, too.

@ShellyArnoldi Beast mode

4 weeks ago I broke a rib & somehow I finished this 10 mile run alive and well today. God is great🙏

@Liz_Wheeler @WeDidItOnce Yes! Amen🙏🏼⭐️💪♥️preach father!

The very young, very trad priest who celebrated Mass at our parish this morning began his homily with, “Today I will be preaching on the first reading, from the book of Acts, also known as the communism reading.” The whole congregation laughed. Father then proceeded to explain, per soon-to-be-Blessed Fulton Sheen, that communism is not the way. Giving of ourselves, personal generosity, sharing economic wealth voluntarily with our brothers in Christ, and detachment from material goods are what Jesus calls us to do as His followers. It was exactly the clarity the faithful needed. A refreshing and encouraging reminder that the newest generation of Catholic priests are ultra trad, conservative, theologically sound, and unafraid to preach what might be culturally unpopular.

@BradWilcoxIFS My best friend! Danielle♥️🙏🏼⭐️

I’d never want to live here, but I certainly like visiting California, especially with my beautiful bride.

Today we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday! Jesus promised that the soul that trusts in His mercy will be filled with peace, and that on this day, the floodgates of His mercy are thrown wide open. “Jesus, I trust in You.” May His infinite mercy wash over us, heal our hearts, and renew our hope. Happy Divine Mercy Sunday!

@MichelleMaxwell Girl same! Stratton woods from 76-83 then went to Great falls! Went to st Joseph’s school and did gymnastics at Gymini! Loved eating at friendlies and going to the SJC haunted house! Went to Pinecrest pool!

I grew up in the Reston/Herndon, VA area and I never once questioned my Father’s or Mother's income. It was never a discussion. We never once discussed how people voted or for who. We ate homemade meals consisting of meat, potatoes, and vegetables. We never touched anything that did not belong to us. We never opened a refrigerator at anyone's house unless asked to do so. We were taught to respect other peoples property. And we were rewarded for acting properly. We grew up during a time when we mowed lawns, pulled weeds, babysat, helped with all chores. We, by no means, were given everything we wanted. We were not allowed to stay in our bedrooms all day and we were not allow to sit on the bed during the day. We went outside a lot to play, run with friends, play hide and seek, or went bike riding. We rarely just sat inside. Bottled water was unheard of, if we wanted water we drank straight from the faucet or hose. If we had a soda, it was in a glass bottle, and we didn’t break the bottle when finished. We saved the bottle for the return money. And, we collected the bottles for the nickel for our next purchase. We had to tell our parents where we were going, who we were going with, and be home before dark. You learned from your parents instead of disrespecting them and treating them as if they knew absolutely nothing. What they said was law and you did not question it and you had better know it! We watched what we said around our elders and neighbors because we knew if we disrespected any grown-up, we would get a real good whooping, it wasn't called abuse, it was called discipline! We held the doors for others and carried the shopping into the house. We gave up our seat for an older person without being asked. You didn't hear swear words on the radio in songs or on TV. "Please and Thank you", were part of our daily vocabulary! The world we live in now is just so full of people who hate and disrespect others. Friends, consider copying and pasting if you're thankful for your childhood. I will never forget where I came from and only wish children and people nowadays had half the chance at the fun and respect for real life we grew up with! And we were never bored!

@FriarMario @Simon111xyz Brother! Please pray for my son Nicholas who is in jail! Thank you thank you

Today, I prayed for your personal intentions at St Anthony's Tomb. But tell me ... what are you truly asking him right now? Not the small things - but the one thing your heart really needs.

@BlondeOfWar @cecegkh This is soooo funny!!!!

The Perfect Challenge - Nailed It 🤜🏼 😂😂😂

@Jklunden Welcome home💪🙏🏼💙

Yesterday marked a deeply meaningful turning point in my life: my final day as a Protestant. After completing a year in RCIA, my children and I will be received into the Catholic Church this evening. The journey began through what felt like divine intervention, sparked by a thoughtful conversation with a wonderful priest at the Holy Well in Tara - an encounter that stayed with me and set so much in motion. I was introduced to him through my now Godmother, who recognised me in a shop from an interview I had just given. Truly, God works in mysterious ways. In many ways, it feels like a path that has been quietly forming for a long time. After more than two decades living in a Catholic country, with my children in Catholic schools and my own involvement in supporting the Catholic ethos in education, this step has grown naturally out of lived experience as much as personal reflection. Today - being baptised alongside my two children, and sharing the joy of my daughter’s First Holy Communion, makes this moment especially profound and deeply personal. Grateful for the journey, and for what lies ahead.
