When you feel lost, overwhelmed by false ideologies, and as if you are barely surviving the world’s pressures, remember that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. As you draw closer to him, you will be on the right path. Thus, he says: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.”

Happy feast day of St. Catherine of Siena!

[Bishop Michael F. Burbidge @BishopBurbidge]

Jesus Christ is Risen today, Alleluia! Only in him and through faithfulness to his Gospel will we and our world know the peace for which we yearn. May this gift be yours on this joyful day and throughout the sacred Season of Easter. The Light has conquered the darkness. Alleluia!

High Point student radio call of the game is what it is all about

[Ben Portnoy @bportnoy15]

Really cool moment tonight postgame after VCU upset UNC. VCU head coach Phil Martelli Jr. made a point to shoutout the student reporters that made the trip.

Lots of great stuff this time of year, but this was a really awesome, genuine exchange.

As we carry our crosses, seek to do God’s will, and maintain our Lenten promises, may we say the words of St. Patrick: “I arise today through God‘s strength to pilot me; God‘s might to uphold me; God‘s wisdom to guide me; God’s hand to guard me; and God’s shield to protect me.”

[Catholic Sat @CatholicSat]

Pope Leo XIV in a very practical Lenten Message to all Christians says:

“I would like to invite you to a very practical and frequently unappreciated form of abstinence: that of refraining from words that offend and hurt our neighbor. Let us begin by disarming our language, avoiding harsh words and rash judgement, refraining from slander and speaking ill of those who are not present and cannot defend themselves. Instead, let us strive to measure our words and cultivate kindness and respect in our families, among our friends, at work, on social media, in political debates, in the media and in Christian communities. In this way, words of hatred will give way to words of hope and peace.”

Each new day, God has a plan for us and specific work to do. He desires our faithful response. So, follow the advice of Saint Angela Merici: “Do something. Get moving. Be confident. Risk new things. Stick with them. Get on your knees. Then, be ready for big surprises!”

[Bishop Michael F. Burbidge @BishopBurbidge]

Never allow frustrations with your weaknesses allow you to give up. Saint Francis de Sales says: “Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them – every day.”

Why are we buying bread and milk?

Get wine. And chocolate cake. Maybe some Oreos. Do this winter storm right.

As you make New Year’s resolutions, give priority to your spiritual life. Promise to pray daily; to turn away from sinful behavior; to be consistent in practicing your faith; to be more attentive to loved ones; and to help the needy. God always gives us the grace to begin anew!

[Bishop Michael F. Burbidge @BishopBurbidge]

In these final hours of preparation for Our Savior’s birth, pause throughout this morning and say with joyful hope and anticipation: “Come, Lord Jesus! Come into my heart, my home, and my very life. Come and fill me with the peace and joy only you can give. Come, Lord Jesus!”

[Bishop Michael F. Burbidge @BishopBurbidge]

Upon hearing God’s divine call, St. Joseph received the message of the angel: “Do not be afraid.” Our Lord wants us to let go of fear and to trust that he will provide the grace we need to fulfill whatever he asks of us. Walk fearlessly and confidently throughout this day.

[Bishop Michael F. Burbidge @BishopBurbidge]

Inspired by the example of Our Blessed Mother, we ask for the grace to echo her yes” to God’s holy will in our lives even when it is difficult and challenging. May we find consolation in the angel’s message to Mary: “Do not be afraid...for nothing will be impossible for God.”

Charlie Hicks ate his lunch and dinner at the Shrimp Basket in Pensacola, Florida, every day for 10 years. When he suddenly stopped showing up, the chef went looking for him – ultimately saving his life. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road.

In Nigeria, hundreds of our young brothers and sisters in Christ are now entering a second week of captivity.

Please take a moment today to pray for them and—if you can—bring this situation to the attention of those who can make a difference.

[Alex at Hallow @alexathallow]

Please Lord, rescue them.
