A few weeks ago I sat for an interview with Dr. Matt Kettinger for his new podcast THE PADRE PAD now available at https://t.co/20GlHalOgT

The idea that this conception was the working of the Holy Spirit would have been a truth beyond what their friends and relatives could ever comprehend. (https://t.co/9HM9kQNhaa)

@PBdeMarie @LT_Covecrest The good news is, however: nearly every parish in the US has a capable seamstress who loves to make things for her priest or seminarian and dri-fit material is readily available online. An old cassock for a template would be helpful.

[Fr Matt Rader @FrRader]

@PBdeMarie My legend lives on!
The dri-fit cassock was born after 3 weeks of @LT_Covecrest camp and brought to life by a private seamstress whose name and contact, once on a label, has sadly been lost to the ravages of the washing machine.

And just yesterday in my weekly bulletin article, I pointed out this opposition to fundamental Catholic teaching. Coincidence or Providence?

BLM's "what we believe" page, calling for the destruction of the nuclear family among many other radical left wing agenda items, has been deleted

At the first @CalvertCatholic High School and Academy Mass of the year we reflected on the invasion of God’s grace inviting us to put put out into the deep without fear.

Nothing says freedom and #America like a Lebanese-American Muslim police officer sacrificing his life on the #FourthofJuly, because he chose to serve and protect. #AnthonyDia #ToledoPolice

[Bishop Daniel Thomas @BishopDEThomas]

We unite our prayers for Officer Anthony Dia, the 26 yr old Officer shot and killed in the line of duty early this morning, for his family and friends, for Chief George Kral and all the men and women of the Toledo Police Department, and for our city as we mourn his loss.

Black Roman Catholics in the U.S. look for actions, not just words, from church leaders on racial justice. They want the church to fight racism with the same zeal it shows in opposing abortion. https://t.co/sbJFxRI6sY

110 years ago today, Pius X erected the Diocese of Toledo in territory taken from the Diocese of Cleveland! We're proud that our many vibrant parishes span Northwest Ohio. Comment below with your city and parish!

“Noli me tangere!” (Touch me not)
Even Christ practiced Social Distancing after the Resurrection.

This Face disfigured by wounds communicates great peace. His gaze is directed not to our eyes but to our heart, as if to say: Have faith, do not lose hope. The power of the love of God, the power of the Risen One overcomes all things. #HolyShroud

@GovMikeDeWine All vulnerable groups need kept safe, so what about the child in the womb still being killed in greater number everyday than this virus has killed in total?
You asked for all elective surgeries to stop, why is Capital Care in Toledo still operating?

[Fr Matt Rader @FrRader]

The decision to grow a Lenten/Quarantine beard for the penitential itchiness came in the right year.
Must. Not. Itch.

👉 It's a hard habit to break, but it's so important that you avoid touching your face. Here are some tips to try. 👇

Today, check in with your neighbors - IF you are healthy. One idea shared on social media is to share a note (printable here: https://t.co/hYg7ZGSv7R) in your at-risk neighbors' mailboxes to offer assistance. If you do leave a note for your neighbors, be sure your hands are clean

[Fr Matt Rader @FrRader]

Brothers and Sisters - the practice of Making a Spiritual Communion is important in these days as it will be the primary means of receiving the graces of Holy Communion. Please see this message from our Bishop.
@StMary_Tiffin

[Bishop Daniel Thomas @BishopDEThomas]

In this moment when so many faithful are not able to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord at Mass, I invite you to watch Holy Mass daily, making a spiritual communion. Read this article about Spiritual Communion written by seminarian, Alexander Elfreich: https://t.co/bCKBfVYv9T

Pope Francis is asking the world to join together all at once at 4pm EST praying the Rosary during this world Crisis. You can join me as I pray with my parish staff @StMary_Tiffin Live on my Facebook: Father-Matthew Rader

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Dear Brothers and Sisters, this evening let us join together spiritually in the prayer of the Holy Rosary. May Mary, Health of the sick, and St Joseph, man of faith, intercede for us! #PrayTogether

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The wondrous event of the Transfiguration, recounted in the #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 17:1-9), opens us to a fuller understanding of the mystery of Christ, who must suffer, die and then rise again.

[Diocese of Toledo @DioceseToledo]
