    Ok, getting annoyed at the tweets saying we shouldn't be too happy about a certain celebrity's Catholic conversion because of his past: y'all, **sinners converting is literally the whole point of the faith**. The bigger the sin, the happier we should be.

    The Queen (of England)'s death day happened on the Queen (of Heaven)'s birthday. There's something beautiful about that.

    I have to share this: last weekend I gave a talk at a nearby convent, and in lieu of a stipend I asked for their prayers. Well. Today I walked into my office to find a bouquet and a card brimming with notes from sisters who have pledged to pray for me....

    View from my bedroom window. Today is my birthday. I was born during the first snow of winter. I haven't experienced snow on my birthday in over twenty years. Feels like a homecoming. 💙

    Sex is not a construct. Sexual differentiation is a universal fact of human existence. How do I know this? Because it is the *direct cause of human existence.*

    ...Dozens of holy hours, rosaries, stations, chaplets, sacrifices--one sister even promised a *year* of night prayer. I am just overcome. What abundance. Please pray for religious vocations; we need this kind of holy generosity more than ever.
