Ran a private half marathon as an inspirational support to my oldest son Jonathan who will be running in the Pittsburgh marathon tomorrow a little less than 5 months after he had back surgery. Send some prayers his way!
@jennfrey@FreyChristopher Prayers continue for you and your family. May the peace of our newborn King bring you, your little ones, and Chris consolation and continued hope!

Habemus Papam!
Let us pray that Pope Leo XIV strives for holiness, and as we do the same, we are conduits for increased grace in our world.
"May the Lord preserve him, and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies."
Please join me in thanking Our Lord for the election of Pope Leo XIV, Successor of Saint Peter, as the Shepherd of the Church throughout the world. The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe at La Crosse has a particularly strong bond with the Roman Pontiff, especially through its affiliation with the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major. I urge all pilgrims and friends of the Shrine to pray fervently for Pope Leo XIV that Our Lord, through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Saint Peter Apostle, and Pope Saint Leo the Great, will grant him abundant wisdom, strength, and courage to do all that Our Lord is asking of Him in these tumultuous times. May God bless Pope Leo and grant him many years. Viva il Papa!
This reflection by Bishop Conley is so edifying as we try to process the first American Pope. May God bless Pope Leo XIV, and may we, like this good Bishop be hopeful in what the Lord may do through him.
"But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail." - Luke 22:32
Let us pray for the repose of Pope Francis, for our faithfulness in 'Peter's' absence, and for the Holy Spirit to inspire those who will be discerning whom He is calling to feed His lambs.
