It's a hockey night in Pittsburgh!
And tonight is important for another reason: Sidney Crosby is set to become the 25th active skater to play in 1,000 NHL games, and the first player in Penguins history to play 1,000 games with the team.

On the #WorldDayOfTheSick special attention goes toward those who are ill and to those who assist them. I think especially of those who suffer the consequences of the #coronavirus pandemic. I express my nearness to everyone, especially to the poorest.
The Lord looks for us where we are, he loves us as we are, and he patiently walks by our side. With his word, he wants to change us, to invite us to live fuller lives and to put out into the deep together with him.
While I've shot snowy sunrises from the incline in #Pittsburgh many times, I've never been able to top the one that I captured 5 years ago today. A vibrant sunrise provided the backdrop for the city and icy rivers, with the red car popping against the fresh snow. What a morning.
After the Last Supper, Jesus prayed for His own, “that they may all be one” (Jn 17:21). This means that we are not able to achieve unity with our own strength. Above all, unity is a gift, it is a grace to be requested through #prayer. #ChristianUnity
It's so heartbreaking to hear about the passing of Mr. Rogers widow, Joanne, today. She shared his compassion, kindness and love for this city. Now she and Fred can watch over our neighborhood together.
@HerdNation It is time for the search committee to lay aside all egos & agendas. Hiring the right HC candidate is crucial. Our story, our community, our future depend upon it. Build relationships, Play for Championships! Protect the M!! @HerdZone@HerdFB
Let me be very clear: the scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not represent who we are. What we are seeing is a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness. This is not dissent, it's disorder. It borders on sedition, and it must end. Now.
