Have you ever heard of a “prie dieu”? It’s a kneeler we use to pray to God. I’ve had this with me now for about 25 years. One of the things I’ve got in here is the Ordo. @thegnewsroom

This is one of the greatest photos in Catholic history.
Despite his greatness, Fulton Sheen had been ostracized and cast away by the powers that be in the American Church by the time he was an old man. When Pope John Paul II came to St. Patrick’s Cathedral in 1981, Sheen was relegated to a far off side section.
As everyone was applauding and greeting the pope, he kept looking around, and finally asked: “Where’s Fulton?”
The pope embraced Fulton and said: “You have written and spoken well of the Lord Jesus Christ. You are a loyal son of the Church!"

This makes me cry with love.

Soon-to-be Blessed Fulton Sheen…Pray for us. 🙏

I’ve known Tony Hawk for over 20 years, but I never imagined I’d one day have a full vert ramp on my farm in rural Ontario with Tony and Kevin Staab out here skating it.

Hosting these skateboarding legends at my farm in Canadian countryside was TOTALLY RAD!! It was a perfect day filming for The Tom Green Farm and now I guess I actually have to learn how to skate this ramp myself. Wish me luck!!

The Tom Green Farm is a 10
Episode series that premieres May 29th on @cravecanada

Four years ago, Mason Teague saved his own life.

After suffering a brain rupture that led to a stroke, Mason called 911 himself. He survived — but everything changed. Today, he is deaf, visually impaired and unable to walk.

On Thursday, Mason graduated high school. On Friday, he turned 20.

And on Saturday, he received a birthday surprise that even Make-A-Wish Oklahoma says it has never seen before in nearly four thousand wishes granted across the state.

Otagi Nenbutsui Temple - Japan's most unique and bizarre temple ....

Otagi Nenbutsu-ji, a Buddhist temple located in hillside of Arashiyama neighborhood of Kyoto, Japan 🇯🇵. Due to its remote locate location, temple is not well know to locals. The gate of temple contains two fierce-looking Nio statues that welcome visitors as they enter. Inside the temple are more than 1200 rakan, stone statues representing the disciples of Buddha. The rakan statues are the main attraction to the temple as they adorn the hillside surrounding the temple buildings.

Otagi Nenbutsu-ji was originally founded by Empress Shōtoku around Kyoto's Gion district in 766 AD. Though was destroyed by the flooding of Kamo River, it was rebuilt as an offshoot of Enryaku-ji, a nearby temple. In 13th Century AD, it was again destroyed during a civil war. Over time, the temple fell into disrepair and was eventually moved to its current location of Arashiyama in 1922, in an attempt to save core structure of temple building. However, temple received another serious blow in 1950, when it suffered typhoon damage.

In 1955, Kocho Nishimura (1915-2003), who had honed his craft as a sculptor and restorer of Buddhist statues before becoming a monk, was appointed head of Otagi Nenbutsuji, marking the start of the temple's remarkable transformation. Extensive renovation efforts beginning in 1981, lasting a decade. During this period, much of the temple was taken apart, renovated, and restored.

A major endeavor during this time involved crafting 1200 stone rakan statues, which now adorn the temple's surrounding hills. These rakan, disciples of Buddha, were carved by novices who traveled there to learn the art under Nishimura's direction. He encouraged them to express the distinct, intrinsic qualities of the stone, resulting in a diverse range of figures, some in solemn prayer, others depicting joy or laughter, or even incorporating elements reflective of the carvers' personal interests. This site uniquely blends divine and mundane, showcasing a collection of religious sculptures unmatched anywhere else in Japan.
