One of the most powerful acts of masculinity is to be a Father for someone who does not have a Father. While it pains us Canadians to lose on the ice, when it comes to what the team did to honour the Gaudreau family, that was a win for everyone. Well done.

This is actual brotherhood. NHL star Johnny Gaudreau was killed by a drunk driver before he could play for this Olympic team.

When Team USA won gold yesterday, they didn’t just hold his jersey. They pulled his two babies onto the ice and put them right in the center of the world's biggest stage. A completely heart-wrenching moment

Beautiful story!! So many like it are being written in the Church today. Even with all the challenges facing us in culture, Church and politics, you gotta believe it is a great time to be alive!

A beautiful #AshWednesday story from Msgr. James Shea: "A couple of years ago, I was on a flight on Ash Wednesday, and the stewardess came back to me and knelt down in the aisle where I was sitting, and she began to cry. She said, 'I wasn't able to go to mass today on Ash Wednesday because I'm working morning till night, Father. Would you happen to have any ashes?' I couldn't believe it. I had a little vial of ashes in the overhead compartment up on top, and I'm not like Father Boy Scout, I'm not usually prepared in that way, but I had some ashes, and so I said yes, I do, and I took them down, and I imposed ashes upon her while she knelt there. By the end of the flight, the two other stewardesses, one of the pilots, and more than half of the plane had followed her and had knelt down in the aisle to receive ashes. This is the hope with which we live, and it's latent in people, it only needs to be activated by our witness."

Insightful message from @BishopBarron

[Chad Pecknold @ccpecknold]

Among American Catholic bishops, one has to go back to Fulton Sheen to find such an articulate condemnation of Marxist materialism. It’s refreshing.

Dr. John Bergsma—one of the great Catholic converts biblical theologians of our day—has a son with deadly brain cancer. The medical expenses have become overwhelming, exceeding what is covered by insurance.

Please support them in their hour of need.

This is what I picture when I get to see my Father in Heaven one day.

It’s too bad Matt’s already compromising his Catholic faith now that he’s with Daily Wire.

Oh wait, actually he’s already giving a great apologetic for Catholicism. Oops.

[Brett Powell @BrettPowellorg]

Not happy about it but you gotta acknowledge greatness when it shows up!!

Shohei Ohtani's last 7 at-bats at Dodger Stadium:

Home run
Double
Home run
Double
Home run
Home run
Home run

The first three in the NLCS. The last four in the World Series. Just absurd.

Conor McGregor’s been on a ‘spiritual journey’ the past few weeks 🙏

“I live my life by God’s word. I’ve engaged on a spiritual journey, and I’m saved, I’m healed.

The world is in for a treat… I had to dial myself in. I’m very excited to come back my own self.”

Common message we receive from our married children, now raising their own children. Funny cause it’s true?

Maybe you can relate @ChrisStefanick

@micailagraham Congratulations. Welcome home

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

I first met Charlie Kirk about four years ago when I was in Phoenix for a speaking engagement. He reached out and invited me to breakfast. I was deeply impressed by him that day. He was a man of great intelligence, considerable charm, and real goodness of heart.  

I reconnected with him just last year, after I saw him debate twenty-five young people who were, to put it mildly, hostile to his views. I texted him that I was so struck by how he kept his cool and his charitable attitude in the face of some pretty obnoxious opposition. I then asked him to appear as a guest on my interview program, “Bishop Barron Presents,” and he eagerly accepted my invitation. He was scheduled to come to Rochester, Minnesota in about ten days. The last contact we had was two nights ago. After I appeared on one of the evening news shows to talk about the Religious Liberty Commission, he texted me and told me how much he appreciated what I said and then added, “I’m excited to join you on your show soon. God bless you.”  

That last sentence shows what was most important to Charlie. He was indeed a great debater and also one of the best advocates in our country for civil discourse, but he was, first and last, a passionate Christian. In fact, when we had that breakfast in Phoenix, we didn’t talk much about politics. We talked about theology, in which he had a deep interest, and about Christ. I know I’m joining millions of people around the world in praying that he rests now in the peace of the Lord.
