This is my parish (and you can spy me and Bobby in the video). We love St. Ann’s in Coppell, TX. We have so many amazing families and dads, it’s incredible. I have never experienced anything like it. The fact that our friend Kristen made this happen in 10 days is just amazing
On Father’s Day, 200 Catholic moms in Texas surprised their husbands as they arrived for Mass by dressing them all in matching polos—a gift the dads only realized they had in common when they showed up at church.

Congrats to my good friend, Bobby Angel, for this new publication!
A sympathetic look at our cultural moment (with great philosophical background), along with an insightful and well grounded Catholic response!
Highly recommended!

“Greatness comes from intimacy with God.” - @ennie4
Pray for us: Ennie and I are each giving 4 talks to the high schoolers at the Diocese of Biloxi Youth Conference.
God, let there be an outpouring of grace in our hearts & lives, allowing for a greater intimacy w/ Jesus!
We are not the sum
of our weaknesses and failures;
we are the sum
of the Father's love for us
and our real capacity
to become the image
of his Son.
-St. John Paul II
@BritMartinez Just played Super Smash Bros with our pastor and my best friend last night, and my kids and all had so much fun 😆
And my super handsome philosopher husband also wrote a book on this for any one who loves gaming (or for those who misunderstand gaming):

@_nomadic_soul@AVCoachSmith The beautiful thing with the Creighton model of NFP is that it gets to the underlying reason why cycles are irregular (or for some, painful). It’s first and foremost a tool for a woman’s health, whether or not you’re using it to achieve or avoid pregnancy.
Except there is no thing as “sex without consequence” for your soul, heart, or body.
As someone who never engaged in pre-marital sex & has never engaged in contraceptive sex, I can tell you I have NEVER been afraid of pregnancy.
True love casts out all fear. Lust invites it.

Gonna leave this here. Would love to chat more in depth if you want! I am an advocate for people having good, shame-free, fear-free, holy sex! 😆
@_nomadic_soul@AVCoachSmith Rhetorical question: not a great track record for other people or for you? My friend who is at risk of death again uses it. It has a great a similar rate of avoiding pregnancy when used correctly. But it requires self control… 🫠🫠🫠
@_nomadic_soul That totally makes sense why you’d be afraid. I’m so sorry. My friend had a heart attack and died (and came back to life) during labor. She uses (and we use) Natural Family Planning. Not trying to impose, but propose that this the better way to be wise and use the tools God gave
@_nomadic_soul And yet you still fear pregnancy. That fear doesn’t go away by contraception. It goes away by fully trusting in God’s plan and having complete vulnerability with your spouse (with no barriers)
Seeing 50,000 people worship Jesus in a football stadium at the Eucharistic Congress was absolutely beautiful.
Running into priests and sisters and co-workers in ministry (from the last 22 years) every 5 feet has been overwhelming and my heart is so full with gratitude. ❤️
History was made! Check out this amazing timelapse of the Eucharistic Procession in Indianapolis at the National Eucharistic Congress #eucharisticcongress#eucharisticrevival
@PNW_working_mom@conservmillen What if you knew about an ***alternative to IVF*** that was just as effective for infertility, but
1. actually helped women at the root of their infertility (endometriosis, PCOS, hormonal imbalance, etc)
2. Didn’t kill any embryos
3. Costs less
