Lydia was shot in the head while praying during Mass at Annunciation Church in Minneapolis five weeks ago.

Today, she is back in school.

Never let the worldly people tell you that prayer is useless.

Prayer is powerful.

Welcome back, Lydia! God bless you.

SCOOP: Matt Kirby, who has spent the last three seasons as the recruiting coordinator at @UVABaseball, is headed to @HailStateBB in the same role, I'm told. Kirby spent a total of 14 seasons on Brian O'Connor's #UVA staff. #HailState

After Pope Francis' sudden death, Google searches for “how to become Catholic” surged 373%. 🙏

In a world connected by social media, millions were exposed to the Church’s beauty, tradition, and timeless truth—sparking a global wave of spiritual curiosity. 🔥

@kalezelden And all kidding aside. His Ordination touches something deep of joy and beauty that gives me a sense of pride I’m not able to even fully express to him.

[Kale Zelden @kalezelden]

Call me old fashioned, but I think it is important for students to learn how to read and follow a whole book, to be able to make sense of a fairly complex story & to extract from that experience something important to a fully realized life.

I'm stunned that so few of my confreres see the existential crisis of just giving up on this noble endeavor.

I know that Chat can "process" a novel with a simple text paste, just like I know that my calculator can help me average my students' grades. I know that Chat can find citations and generate outlines and generate "copy" for an essay in a variety of "personas" and skill levels. That is not why we are doing this.

Do we need a refresher on why we aspire to offer a "humane" education rather than an algorithmic program?

Do we know what we are just letting happen? Do we know that silence gives consent? We adults are consenting to the obliteration of our children, clearing space for the techlords to further control and dominate. Is this what we want?

[Kale Zelden @kalezelden]

My brother will be ordained a priest in one month.

Please pray for Joshua.

He has real gifts & I know he will do great work for his parish.

I’m most proud of his courage in answering the call.

I like Bishop Barron. I think his ministry is good.

For sure...folks are rich enough to be shielded from the hyper-individualist life formed, shorn from place & family.

I think this is why wealth makes it difficult to inherit the kingdom...you can pretend for a very long time, even for a couple generations...but the bill comes due
