Is there anyone here who yearns for life and desires to see good days? --Psalm 33.13, Prologue of the Rule of Benedict

XII Thurs OT --
"And everyone who listens to these words of mine
but does not act on them
will be like a fool who built his house on sand.
The rain fell, the floods came,
and the winds blew and buffeted the house.
And it collapsed and was completely ruined."
--Mt 7 #lectio

World Cup fever inspired Norwegian nursing home residents to join together for a spirited “Viking row” to cheer on Norway ahead of its World Cup match against Senegal. ⚽️❤️🇳🇴

[Unworthy Hand @kisstheblade_]

The World Cup is so magical we're seeing mass demonstrations of joy in Scandinavian countries. The last time there were this many happy Norwegians congregated in one single place, there was a northumbrian monastery burning in the background.

Augustine, Sermo 293
Ioánnes vox ad tempus, Christus Verbum in princípio ætérnum.

Juan era una voz pasajera para un tiempo; Cristo el Verbo eterno desde el principio.

John is a passing voice for a time; Christ, the Word eternal from the beginning.

As a priest and professor, Rev. Stephen M. Koeth, C.S.C., delves into his passions for history and his faith.

“I don’t have to pick one or the other. That’s why I joined the congregation — because it proposed a life where I could be a priest-scholar.”

I have no wish to continue the great books discourse on here. For anyone interested in hearing from an enthusiast for this form of education what exactly we think that we are doing, I've written a short primer. Peruse, or not, at your leisure. https://t.co/zMVnCuVzYg

Who thought it was a good idea to place a Titanic bouncy house at the Vatican- as the Pope walked out? Yes, this is a real shot of Pope Leo speaking to kids at a Vatican Bible camp. Go figure.

[Notre Dame Law School @NDLaw]

Today, we celebrate the Feast of St. Thomas More, patron saint of lawyers and a model of moral courage, integrity, and freedom of conscience.

His legacy can be seen throughout Notre Dame Law School and is now further enriched by the addition of the St. Thomas More Collection in the Kresge Law Library. Gifted by St. John’s University School of Law, the collection comprises 431 volumes spanning 293 titles, including rare works that illuminate More’s enduring influence at the intersection of faith, intellect, and law.

Read more about the collection in the 2026 Notre Dame Lawyer magazine: https://t.co/mSRQsdJ5Th

So do not be afraid;
you are worth more than many sparrows."
