    From morning prayer: “Arise, soldiers of Christ, throw away the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.” (St. Cecilia to her husband and brother-in-law before they were killed)

    After two years, I’m no longer church-homeless, and I will never be church-homeless again.

    I have three neophytes and I’m happy. Christ has risen, as he said! Happy Easter! 🤍

    There’s one God who made heaven and earth and everything in it. We can’t offer sacrifices to anyone else; that’s a total non-starter for Christians.

    Sign out front: NO political signs, shirts, hats, buttons past this point. Me: 😇

    This is a slanted summary. The Church has opposed abortion since the first century, long before the U.S. and its politics existed. This teaching is not “right-wing.” You are not the arbiter of our faith. Her teaching is publicly available: vatican.va/archive/ccc_cs…

    Friends, on Sunday I am saying goodbye to internet/email/phone and entering a monastery (not the one I had originally planned, but… Fiat, etc.!). Time to get serious about loving God and begging him for mercy and favor in these dark times. ✝️

    Please pray for me today. I feel so spiritually weak and run-down and fatigued. Please just trace the sign of the cross over this tweet; thank you. ✝️✝️✝️

    I believed all women were born with microscopic babies inside them that would develop and come out at some random time when she was an adult.

    I’m back. The monastery is good, but cloistered life is too hard for me. I burned out at about three weeks. I was trying to be open to God’s direction, but at this point I feel like a car engine that has no oil left.

    A former coworker of mine is dying. He doesn’t believe in God and has refused spiritual care even though it’s been offered. I don’t think he has much time left. Please pray God opens his eyes. His name is Jeff.

    I’m starting to feel a connection with Our Lady of Guadalupe. I can’t exactly articulate why, but she seems to be powerful against anti-life p*ganism.
