Wild: New Notre Dame WR Mylan Graham was asked what his biggest adjustment has been since transferring from Ohio State.

“Not too different, You just have to actually go [to class] in person… obviously everybody knows how it is with academics”

😭😭😭

Phoenix is in the middle of a record-breaking run of feverish days and suffocating nights.

The city has already smashed records for the highest low temperatures for this time of year and has had 13 consecutive days at or above 110 degrees Fahrenheit.

The worst of the heat is expected to come this weekend. https://t.co/Ql62QbgFd2

Euthanasia is an aggressive abuse of power, preying on populations that are made to feel guilty for being alive.
The pathology of a society that permits it is far worse than any sickness afflicting a fragile human being.

This reporter in Kenya tried so hard to keep a straight face on the job, but a curious baby elephant got the best of him.

The meeting of eyes between Zacchaeus and Jesus in #TodaysGospel (Lk 19:1-10) seems to encapsulate the whole of salvation history: humanity, with its miseries, seeks redemption, but firstly God, with mercy, seeks his creature to save it. #Angelus

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

This is the history of salvation: God has never looked down on us to humiliate and judge us; on the contrary, he lowered himself to the point of washing our feet, looking at us from below and restoring our dignity. #TodaysGospel (Lk 19 :1-10) #Angelus

Going for the higher-octane of 2 eminent options with deep Clergy Office experience, in wake of McElroy’s red hat, Whispers ops relay Pope’s pick of San Diego Aux +John Dolan (60) to lead 1.2 million-member church in Phoenix at Roman Noon Friday upon +Olmsted’s quick retirement.

The Beatitudes declare that those who are poor, who lack many goods, are blessed, or happy. This poverty is also an attitude toward the meaning of life: Jesus’ disciples do not believe they possess it or know everything already. Rather, they know they must learn every day.

On the feast of the #PresentationOfTheLord in the temple, we present ourselves to God with purified spirits, so that our eyes might see the light of salvation and we might thus bring it to the entire world, as the Saints did.

We are family. Beloved community.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It is necessary to foster in the new generations an awareness of the horror of this black page of history, so that we can build a future where human dignity is no longer trampled underfoot.

#PopeFrancis, 85, takes the long way (no stairs) down to his guests at the audience, explaining his knee is bothering him. "It's a passing thing; they say it happens to old people, so I don't know why it has happened to me."

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

O Lord, grant us the courage to change course, to be converted, to follow your will and not our own; to go forward together, towards you, who by your Spirit wish to make us one. #ChristianUnity https://t.co/XYYzi1wwv7

The unity for which Jesus prayed, which certainly demands mature freedom born of firm decisions, endurance and sacrifice, is the reason for the world to believe. #Prayer #ChristianUnity

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Sometimes, looking at our lives, we see only the things we lack and forget the talents we possess. Yet God gave them to us because He trusts us and asks us to make the most of the present moment, not yearning for the past, but waiting industriously for His return.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

I extend my heartfelt best wishes for peace and every good to our brothers and sisters of the Eastern Churches, both Catholic and Orthodox, who celebrate the Nativity of the Lord: may Christ, born of the Virgin Mary, enlighten your families and communities!

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

The Magi set out at the rising of the star. They teach us that we need to set out anew each day, in life as in faith, for faith is not a suit of armour that encases us; but a fascinating journey, constant and restless movement, ever in search of God. #Epiphany
