1 million French people singing Salve Regina with Pope Leo XIV at Place de la Concorde

This is where King Louis XVI was martyred in the French Revolution

[Catholic Sat @CatholicSat]

This is incredible. 80,000 young French Catholics sing the Salve Regina in Latin with Pope Leo XIV at a Prayer Vigil in the Stade de France.

Becoming a mom at 25 vs. 45: 20 fewer years with your child. And the grandchild years disappear entirely: 31 → 11 → 0.
(Assuming one lives til @ early 80s)

You need to stop and read this again…

Warren Buffet’s final words of advice from his very last annual letter 🥹

"One perhaps self-serving observation. I’m happy to say I feel better about the second half of my life than the first. My advice: Don’t beat yourself up over past mistakes – learn at least a little from them and move on. It is never too late to improve. Get the right heroes and copy them. You can start with Tom Murphy; he was the best.

Remember Alfred Nobel, later of Nobel Prize fame, who – reportedly – read his own obituary that was mistakenly printed when his brother died and a newspaper got mixed up. He was horrified at what he read and realized he should change his behavior.

Don’t count on a newsroom mix-up: Decide what you would like your obituary to say and live the life to deserve it.

Greatness does not come about through accumulating great amounts of money, great amounts of publicity or great power in government. When you help someone in any of thousands of ways, you help the world. Kindness is costless but also priceless. Whether you are religious or not, it’s hard to beat The Golden Rule as a guide to behavior.

I write this as one who has been thoughtless countless times and made many mistakes but also became very lucky in learning from some wonderful friends how to behave better (still a long way from perfect, however). Keep in mind that the cleaning lady is as much a human being as the Chairman."

And then today, his last letter to shareholders as chairman…

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Arguably the 50 most influential books in history.

Most of us spent 12+ years in school and were assigned almost none of them.

How many have you read?

[Brian Holdsworth @briankeepsworth]

"Liturgy should be characterized by a profound sense of the sacred shown by outward signs of reverence & beauty. The people of God need to see priests behave with reverence & dignity, in order to foster in them a sense of the sacred."
St. John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia

@njshoreinvest How do you factor tax avoidance into your planning? If you focus on taxable accounts, surely you’ll have “excess” that you won’t need/use until later at which point it would be advantageous to take advantage of tax advantages

Harvard researchers gave people identical small bruises, then sat them in rooms with rigged clocks.

Some ran at normal speed. Some at half speed. Some at double speed. "The actual time in every room was identical: 28 minutes."

What happened next was completely unexpected: "The wounds healed faster when people thought more time passed and slower when they thought less time had passed."

"They all had the same injury and waited the same 28 minutes. The only variable was belief and expectation."

"The lead researcher even later admitted he did not think it would work. But it did."

If belief alone can change how fast you heal, what else is your perception of time doing to you?

Wish they taught this in school:

If you begin your career focused on building wealth, you can easily pursue something else later.

If you begin your career focused on something else, gets harder & harder to build wealth (since you have surrendered the benefit of compounding)

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.

Viewing marriage as a cornerstone rather than a capstone has been shown to impact young men's social development for years ahead of time.

Marital horizons shape young men's motivation to work hard, avoid risky behaviors, and prepare themselves for eventual marriage.

Jesus didn't let the Church go even one single Sunday without the celebration of the Eucharist.
