pretty cool :) thanks, BC ❤️💛

[Boston College @BostonCollege]

For Olivia Colombo '22, finishing the @bostonmarathon marked the end of a journey much longer than 26.2 miles.

The @bclynchschool student's self-advocacy, bravery, and sheer force of will turned a dire medical prognosis into an athletic achievement: https://t.co/cHTDn3xmUQ

What the actual hell?

That time of year when I try to explain to people that a madman with a cigarette, a whole load of cat pictures and a dude called Keith are more important than the Superbowl #bm100

[Kat M. Wilkins, LPC @wilkins_kathryn]

When a person’s reaction to being spiritually abused is to:

Leave church
Leave the faith
Deconvert
Take a break from church
Re-evaluate & change theological beliefs

The very communities who abused them will say,

“See? They were never sincere anyway…” to justify the harm. 3/x

To the @TSA agent who mocked & made fun of my “disgusting” medical supplies

I hope you never have to rely on syringes to survive. Or have to live w/ a needle in your arm. Or have to rely on supplies to stay alive

It’s not funny for me. You wouldn’t be laughing either. Do better

[liv colombo @livfullyalive]

thank you for being one of the first people to welcome me home to the Heights. I’m glad you can rest now, Dean Stegman. your bravery and trust in the face of illness has meant more to me than I can express 🕊️

this is the spirit of ultra running in one tweet:

[Keith @keithdunn]

One runner, after finishing his loop and dropping, cooked an egg burrito while showering. Like, took a camp stove and skillet into the shower, cooked the eggs, etc., and ate the tortilla. In the shower. #BM100

[liv colombo @livfullyalive]

So so wild that this was 3 years ago.

Happy [belated] third bday to Grexly (@CatholicTV)

Forever thankful for the @ToTheHeightsCTV era and the SEEK adventures we had 🐐🐐🐐

[liv colombo @livfullyalive]

So grateful. This was amazing. Thank you listeners, @FOCUScatholic, and especially @TheHappyPriest 😭😍

[liv colombo @livfullyalive]

@cecsquared i 100% agree!! I’ve paused reading novels at all for awhile because of this

[Susie homemaker @homemaker_susan]

If Paul saw the church in America, we’d be getting a letter.😐

[liv colombo @livfullyalive]

and, also, big kudos to @PBMPublishing for pulling his titles with impressive speed and eloquence.

[liv colombo @livfullyalive]

as someone whose theology study centered on sacramental art, Rupnik was a central figure in all that. so many papers & reflections on his work. i even considered him for a podcast guest once upon a time, as he's a friend of a friend.

i'm upset. but I wish I was more surprised.

[liv colombo @livfullyalive]

@MfrTiangco @Crux just curious, why should there be any relief here?

[liv colombo @livfullyalive]

@FrTimeline i have so many questions

[Lauren D. Woods @Ladiwoods1]

8-yo told me tonight when she finds it hard to like someone at school, she imagines them waking up and choosing their clothes, and their parents helping them get ready and hoping they have a good day, and that makes it easier to care for them.

[liv colombo @livfullyalive]

& lastly, my fav quote from the smartest man I've ever met:

"I looked up at this beautiful sky full of stars and thought “well, that is very well done!” God is incredibly skilled at lighting and set design, sometimes not so much with plot or character design."

Thank you, Father

[liv colombo @livfullyalive]

“you know, I really just love Caesar salad endings to homilies. You have all this lettuce…let us do this, and let us do this and let us do that. It’s all just lettuce."

-a beautiful soul, Fr. Michael Himes, who passed a few weeks ago. currently sifting thru notebooks from class

[liv colombo @livfullyalive]

more Fr. Himes quotes from my notebook:

“alright let’s jump a few hundred years in the future, let’s go to augustine’s hippo. he was a bloody genius"

[liv colombo @livfullyalive]

Even if you’re #ProLife, it’s okay to feel confused, conflicted, nervous, anxious, angry, afraid, or sad right now.

All feelings are valid today. Confusion or fear makes sense.

[Molly Cahill @MollyKCahill]

Like many @BostonCollege students, I heard Fr. Himes the first night of orientation. I knew right then I was in the right place.

“Human beings are called to be the people who do what God is. God is agape, and we get to enact it.” Legend. Thank you. RIP.
