This is what I believe. Pope Leo is my quarterback. I play for his team. The team chosen by Jesus Christ. I won’t quit on Pope Leo because I think I know how to run the Church better than the Successor of St. Peter. I aspire to the best teammate I can.

Pope Leo saying why pray for the dead. Because we don’t just stop being connected to them after death. Being united in Christ means something *real*, and death doesn’t get to defeat that - especially after Christ already defeated death

Today, I give thanks to God and to my mom and dad for receiving the sacrament of Baptism, as an infant at St. Charles Borromeo parish in the Archdiocese of Toronto.
This is one of the most consequential decisions my parents made for my salvation.
Happy baptism day to me 😊

Please pray for me, I have a job interview tomorrow, and I am really hoping it goes well. The way I have been paid over the last two years has been much lower than other people in my same position, and financial stress that so negatively impacted my health

I just received a letter from a friend of mine who I was in prison with. He's serving a sentence of 20 years to life, and he has to appear before the parole board. He's only six years into his sentence.
He told me that he's been praying, staying in the Word, and that the Lord has been using him to bring others to Christ. Right now, he's reading through both the Old and New Testaments. He's currently in the book of Joshua in the Old Testament and the book of Acts in the New Testament.
He says he's trying to hold on, keep going, keep believing, and continue walking with the Lord.
I would ask you all to please keep Jalen in your prayers. He's a good guy, and I'm glad to hear from him. He just got caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I wrote him a letter about a month and a half ago, and he's just now writing me back. I'm grateful to have heard from him.
The Bible reminds us:
"Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body."
Hebrews 13:3

🇺🇸 Today, I had the privilege and the joy of accompanying #BobDylan to meet Pope Leo, together with Andrea Monda. It was hard not to feel the emotion of being part of an encounter that had a real sense of history about it, with the feeling that, at every step through the Apostolic Palace, absolutely anything could happen! Carlo Feltrinelli and Susan Pullman were also with us. On July 31, Pope Leo had met with Patti Smith. I’m writing about it in L’Osservatore Romano.
🇮🇹 Oggi ho accompagnato #BobDylan da Papa Leone insieme ad Andrea Monda. Non senza l’emozione di vivere un incontro che ha il sapore della storia e la sensazione che, ad ogni passo nel Palazzo apostolico, sarebbe potuta accadere qualunque cosa! Con noi Carlo Feltrinelli, e Susan Pullman. Il 31 luglio Leone aveva incontrato Patti Smith. Ne scrivo sull’Osservatore Romano.

I will never abide by Sharia Law.
I’m a Jew and child of Western values—Judeo-Christian values.
And I’ll never stop fighting to protect those freedoms.
I’ve already lost almost everything for doing just that.
Nothing they do can take away my spirit. They only intensify it.
Dave MacDonald retweeted
Pope Leo urging young Catholics to remember that to be Christian is not so much to be against something as to be *for* something.
We’re against death, falsehood, slavery, and injustice because we’re *for* life, truth, freedom, and justice

Catholic Priest Burnt Inside His Car.
Fr. David Tanko of the Diocese of Jalingo was killed in Taraba State in late August 2019.
Ordained in 2008, he was traveling toward a peace meeting aimed at easing tensions between the Tiv and Jukun communities when he was ambushed in the Kufai Amadu area of Takum. Attackers killed him and set both his body and vehicle on fire, leaving him burned beyond recognition.
Local residents who witnessed the attack later described him as a servant of the Church who gave his life while trying to promote reconciliation. In the years since, his death has been remembered alongside those of other Nigerian priests killed amid the country’s ongoing insecurity, with many continuing to pray for the repose of his soul and for greater protection for clergy and communities still facing violence.
May he rest in peace.

You woke up alive and the first thing you do is check what Fox or CNN has to be angry about. That’s the problem.

With sorrow we announce the passing of Father Jerome Murphy.
Answering the call to the priesthood, Father Murphy was ordained a priest by Archbishop George H. Niederauer for the Archdiocese of San Francisco on May 19, 2012, at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption in San Francisco. He faithfully served the Church and the people of the Archdiocese throughout his years of priestly ministry.
Friends are invited to attend a Rosary on Wednesday, November 4, at 6:00 p.m. at St. Sebastian’s Church. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, November 5, at 11:00 a.m., followed by interment at Holy Cross Cemetery in Menlo Park.
May Fr. Jerome Murphy rest in the peace of Christ, whom he faithfully served as a priest.

This is a great Priest she’s talking about. He’s been our vicar for years and it’s universally respected by all of us.
This is another big blow for our Diocese.
We are asking for your prayers.

Please pray for my brother priest.

Please pray for our pastor, Fr. Tim MacDonald, who found out he has stage 4 melanoma with a cancerous tumor in his skull causing mobility problems. The tumor is bleeding and growing. He needs prayers desperately, as does our whole parish. This young man has been a blessing to us.
