Today I celebrate my 25th anniversary as a Catholic priest. I’m particularly mindful of the 1000’s of people I’ve had the privilege of serving over the years. Your patient prayerful support has been a source of great strength. This evening I will offer Mass for my parents, the first to speak the Name of Jesus to me, with whom I am united every time I go to the altar. Men, if you think God is calling you to the priesthood, listen to him. It’s a great way to spend yourself. Praised be Jesus Christ!
🚨#ALERT: Everyone needs to be aware of this
Journalist Avery Daye exposes the history of Minnesota Rep Ilhan Omar
“Ilhan Omar — I figured not enough people know about her family’s history, so let’s recap:
Her dad and her grandfather were both high-ranking military officials in the Barre regime, which killed over 200,000 people. They’re most famous for the Isaaq genocide — it was the worst of the worst: aerial bombings, executions, man-made famine.
People massively suffered under this regime, with the help of people like Ilhan Omar’s family who supported the regime and carried out this, this horror.
— They have family ties to this guy known as the Butcher of Hargeisa, and his whole shtick was “kill all but the crows.””
“So the suffering of the people of Somalia was so bad that there was a civil war and the regime was overthrown. Her family fled first to Kenya and then Minnesota, claiming they’re like these asylum seekers.
These poor, poor people. No, no, no, no. They were fleeing to escape being held accountable for what they did. She was not oppressed. Her family, they were the oppressors.”
“So for the Democratic Party to have her as a representative is insane to me — and the way that they’ve like rebranded her as all this poor refugee? No, no. She wasn’t a refugee of war. Her family created the war.”
HEARTBREAKING: Her 10-month-old baby was cut in half with a knife in front of her, her husband shot dead, and she watched them split her second child's skull with a machete. They also cut off one of her hands.
This is life for Christians in Nigeria. The media remains silent.
11, 12, and 14 years old.
Raped for days by more than 20 Pakistani immigrants.
Tortured—one had her tongue nailed to the wall to keep her still while they raped her.
The police ridiculed, insulted, and ignored them.
The feminists turned the other way.
If it hadn't been for Elon Musk, who publicly shared the trial testimonies, sparking outrage from Reform UK and internal investigations, no one would have known anything.
You're not angry enough.

24 weeks. 650 grams. Fully formed, completely unique, and fighting for life. Imagine looking at this miracle and trying to argue that they aren’t a human being.
This is the exact stage of development where the abortion industry still fights for the “right” to end the lives of preborn babies. The abortion lobby loves to use detached, medicalized jargon to pretend that a baby at this stage is just a “potential” life, but basic biology doesn’t care about corporate marketing scripts. If a baby can survive outside the womb with medical care, how can anyone look at them and argue they don’t deserve the right to life inside it?
Let’s stop playing word games to protect corporate profit and start protecting the most vulnerable among us. Life is life.
Everyone has the right to not create a child. No one has to get pregnant. Simply don’t have sex… But you do not have the right to murder a child who did nothing wrong.
Children in the womb are always innocent and always have the right to life.
God bless this man for spelling things out for these students. Don’t get things twisted kids of all backgrounds&races aren’t showing the same respect to authority figures as we did. I don’t know who is at fault but I am grateful this man is taking the time to open their eyes👏🏻👏🏻
My husband and I have been married since 1995. We tried for years to have a baby, spending thousands of dollars on fertility treatments, tracking my cycles, and doing everything we could. But it never happened. After a long time, we gave up and started trying to accept that having kids wasn’t in our future.
In 2013, I was still struggling with the idea of never being a mom. I talked to a friend who was a grief counselor, and she told me something that stuck with me — that I needed to grieve not being able to have a child the same way someone would grieve losing a child. It hit me hard, but I went through that grieving process, and little by little, I found some peace.
One day at work, I mentioned to a new coworker that I wasn’t feeling well. She joked and said, "Maybe you’re pregnant!" I laughed and said, "No way. I'm 42, and after 19 years of trying, it's just not possible."
But on my drive home, the thought wouldn't leave me. So I stopped and bought a pregnancy test. As soon as I started using it, the test showed a dark positive line — almost immediately. I was stunned. After all these years, I was pregnant! At 42!
When my husband got home, he started talking about golf clubs and travel plans — because we had decided we would focus on ourselves now: early retirement, vacations, golf. I didn’t say a word. I just handed him the pregnancy test. He stared at it, shocked, and refused to believe it until the doctor confirmed it.
We got it confirmed and were sent to a high-risk pregnancy specialist because of my age. The next 7 months were full of weekly checkups, lots of ultrasounds, and a lot of worry. Every time, we thought something might be wrong — no heartbeat, bad genetic tests, something. But every time, everything was fine — except for my high blood pressure.
Because of that, the doctor decided it was safest to do a planned C-section at 38 weeks instead of letting me go into labor. She was worried an emergency might happen if we waited.
On December 10, 2014, our beautiful, perfectly healthy baby boy was born!
