    I became a Christian and a son of God by the grace of God on this day 44 years ago. These words of St. Ignatius of Antioch resonate deeply: "It is not that I want merely to be called a Christian, but to actually be one. Yes, if I prove to be one, then I can have the name."

    Please join me and the people of the Diocese of Duluth I’m praying for the repose of the soul of our beloved Bishop Paul Sirba. He was so much like Jesus: gentle with people and uncompromising with truth. A true shepherd and father.

    “Don’t forget that the saint is not the person who never falls but rather the one who never fails to get up again, humbly and with a holy stubbornness.” ~St. Josemaría Escrivá

    It might be a wise idea to be patient with a person’s conversion rather than give them a spotlight. As Saint Paul noted, a recent convert should not be a bishop. By extension, we should encourage their conversion to be private. Maybe we see where our new brother lands.

    Eight PM mass still on tonight at Newman if you can make it over the massive snowdrifts! We will be praying for our beloved bishop on the first day of the new year.

    I’m grateful to God that I have been able to live in the greatest country in the world. Founded on the belief that God has made us and therefore we have inalienable rights and tremendous responsibilities. #July4th
