I was planning on taking a social media break beginning Ash Wednesday, but I decided I need to start early. I’ve got some things I need to work on mentally, spiritually, and prayerfully.

I pray all who see this spend time in drawing closer to Christ this Lenten season.

Preparing for Lent? Here's Pope Leo XIV's Message for Lent 2026.

“Let us ask for the grace of a Lent that leads us to greater attentiveness to God and to the least among us.”

@frobrien That’s a great idea. I might have to “borrow” this idea for my parish.

[Rob Ponce 👨‍💻🖖 @RobPCGeek]

@frobrien Well, in all seriousness, the status indicator is the easy part. We would just need a secure system for the parishioner to be able to log in and check the status.

💡 I have an idea, but it will take time to create, test, and get approved.

I’ve been burning so much wood in my fireplace that I fully expected Treebeard to knock on my door and punch me in the face.

So, the black lines are “Priority 4: Too Bad Sucka!” 😔

Pfft, whatever… I’ve got a diesel 4x4. I’ll go where I want! 😤

@frobrien Don’t forget the “I’ve never driven on snow before, but I slept at a Best Western last night” kind of people.

@frobrien Perhaps seminarians go through the same thing? 🤷‍♂️ They need good priests to help them overcome it.

[Rob Ponce 👨‍💻🖖 @RobPCGeek]

@frobrien My 1st year in the diaconate program was difficult, & when parishioners found out I was in the program, I felt an overwhelming sense of having to “keep going because people expect you to be ordained.”

Thankfully, a very good friend and priest helped me rethink & overcome it. 2/2

[Rob Ponce 👨‍💻🖖 @RobPCGeek]

@MPonce_96 and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

May the birth of our Savior be the Light of Faith, Joy, and Hope we so desperately need. God bless you and your families!

Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us!

[Rob Ponce 👨‍💻🖖 @RobPCGeek]

On the eve of the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, there’s no other place I’d rather be, but to adore our loving God who created the ever-Virgin who delivered our salvation.

Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, ora por nosotros.🙏

[Rob Ponce 👨‍💻🖖 @RobPCGeek]

Woo Hoo! I love my parish! The kindness and generosity of the people here really makes my parish feel like home…

…and not because I spend more time here then at my actual house. 🤣

[Diocese of Tulsa @DioceseofTulsa]
