12 years on, people ask: how can we follow the path the Pope is calling us to? For parishes, communities and the curious, I have written a retreat “with” Francis, based on the Ignatian Exercises which shaped him. In English, español, français, italiano and português.

Gosh. An Episcopalian bishop spoke with parrhesia — apostolic courage — to Trump and Vance. She named the truth their policies deny. Their expressions of fury and discomfort suggest she nailed it.

Wow. A bishop just called out Trump and Vance to their faces at church. “The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. May I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those whose children fear their parents will be taken away.”

The Pope’s road to recovery is astonishing. Whether due to the power of prayer, his family DNA (his grandmother Rosa lived to 92), his strong will, or the extraordinary medical care he has received— or a combination of all these God’s gifts—it is a marvel. Deo Gratias.

Pope after Mass at Regina Coeli: “During Mass I strongly felt the spiritual presence of Pope Francis accompanying us from heaven.”

Here’s a crib scene you don’t see often: Joseph taking the baby to allow Mary to sleep.

*Very* unusual for a pope to do this. Magisterial in tone and form (numbered paragraphs, quoting papal teachings) and targeted (referring to Trump policies and Vance’s justifications), this letter is meant to leave no doubt about where the Church stands.

50 priests have died of Corona in Italy: the youngest 45 yo, the eldest 104 yo. Most were active, and died serving the people, without funerals. Pastors who smelled of their sheep, who died for and among them.

Pope Leo’s motto “In Illo uno unum” are words of Saint Augustine in a sermon on Psalm 127 to explain that “although we Christians are many, in the one Christ we are one.”

I’m hearing that Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa, who was slated to give the cardinals their pep talk after the extra omnes, went on for 50 minutes rather than his allotted 15.

The Holy Family parish in Gaza which Francis called every night without fail to encourage and be close to them, ring their bells now every night at the same time he used to call, in remembrance of him. 🥲

Steve Bannon on the next pope about a week ago: "I do think one of the dark horses, and unfortunately one of the most progressive, is Cardinal Prevost."
