@PaulNedelisky Okay so this should be an easy question. Should Christians seek to be prosperous along the lines laid down by Solomon in Proverbs? Or should they seek to live in evangelical poverty as Jesus seems to commend in the Sermon on the Mount and in his bidding of the rich young ruler?
Amid the ruin of modern life, young people are searching for something real. They’re finding it, as I did in 2018, in the Catholic Church. The NYT asked converts why they’re becoming Catholic, but there’s only really one answer: because it’s all true. https://t.co/dQ47NxtRkf
Love seeing this. Newly elected pro-life president of Chile, José Antonio Kast, reportedly went to Santiago Cathedral immediately after being inaugurated.
Good leaders cannot lead on their own.
They need the guidance from the living God.
Today we celebrate St. Valentine—a 3rd-century Roman priest who defied Emperor Claudius by secretly marrying young Christian couples so husbands wouldn't be forced into war without families
Imprisoned, he healed his jailer's blind daughter & signed a note 'From Your Valentine'
Martyred Feb 14, 269 AD
It’s OK for your children to be bored.
C.S. Lewis’s mother had a neurotic fear that her boys would get sick if they were out in the rain. And since it was always raining in Ireland they spent a ton of time inside where there was little to do besides read old books.
Boredom drove the kids to read. Her youngest son, Clive, went on to become one of the most influential thinkers of the entire 20th century.
Catholic priest, Georges Lemaître (1894–1966), is credited with proposing the theory that the universe began from a “primeval atom” and has been expanding ever since, a concept that became the foundation of the Big Bang theory.
Fernando is a wonderful example of the beauty & simplicity of a life lived with God at its core.
Prayer, far from being wild or extraordinary, is a most reasonable act for a person who seeks clarity and focus.
God wants to be all in all. Prayer opens the door.
Vice President Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the site of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection, in Jerusalem this week.
To paraphrase the Epistle of James: If my neighbor is in need, and I say to him, “Don’t worry, I voted for the party with the best social agenda,” but I do not give him what he needs, then I’m a schmuck and a pretty lousy Christian. https://t.co/UVUd4M9j28
“Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you” (Lk 11:9). “To ask,” in fact, is to recognize, through poverty, that everything is a gift from the Lord and to give thanks for it. “To seek” is to open oneself, through obedience, to discovering each day the path we must take on the journey towards holiness, following God’s plans. “To knock” is to ask for and to offer the gifts we have received to our brothers and sisters with a chaste heart, striving to love everyone with respect and generosity. #JubileeOfConsecratedLife
Francis of Assisi is usually portrayed as a hippy pacifist, but nothing could be further from the truth. His entire life was a holy war, a crusade. This is the story of the knight who saved Christendom by losing.
Charlie Kirk and Maximilian Kolbe spoke the truth they knew could get them killed. Where they found the courage: knowing Christ conquered death.

“Bad times, hard times, this is what people keep saying; but let us live well, and times shall be good. We are the times: Such as we are, such are the times.” — St. Augustine
The life of Saint Augustine, and his call to servant leadership, reminds us that we all have God given gifts and talents. Our purpose, fulfilment, and joy comes from offering them back in loving service to God and our neighbor.
I thoroughly encourage anyone that can still catch Eddington in theaters to do so and read @g_shullenberger & @SohrabAhmari's glorious reviews. No Country For Woke Men is definitely a 10/10
