"My client is not in a hurry."

One hundred years ago today, on June 10, 1926, Antoni Gaudí died in Barcelona, three days after being struck by a tram on his way to confession. Because of his simple clothes and unkempt appearance, many mistook him for a beggar and delayed helping him. By the time he was identified, it was too late.

A century later, the man known as "God's architect" is being remembered not only for his genius, but for the faith that inspired it.

Today, Pope Leo XIV will visit the Basilica of the Sagrada Família to bless the newly completed Tower of Jesus Christ, the final and tallest of Gaudí's planned towers. Rising 172.5 meters (566 feet), it makes the Sagrada Família the tallest church in the world.

Gaudí devoted the last years of his life almost entirely to the Sagrada Família, convinced that he was not building a monument to himself but offering a work of praise to God. He famously accepted that he would never see it completed, saying, "My client is not in a hurry."

One hundred years after his death, the basilica remains a testament to a faith capable of imagining eternity—and to a man whose greatest masterpiece was never really about architecture at all.

"We build our American cities around fire trucks…

…We should design our cities, then make the fire trucks fit."

In America, we have the largest fire trucks in the world—
and they’re quietly shaping how our cities look, feel, and function.

In this clip with @AustinTunnell , we break down how one overlooked policy is leading to worse urban design.

As Marcus Aurelius wrote in Meditations, people have always lied, fought over money, scapegoated others, and blamed everyone but themselves.

If the world feels dark, be the light.

That’s how we fight back.

Even after 2,000 years the Christmas story can, and should, still shock us. Joseph and Mary were, like so many people today, struggling and desperate during their journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem. A Christmas Eve meditation: https://t.co/igrtqA2AOK
