Some authentic “behind-the-scenes with Iron Will” footage for y’all! IRL…

So I was telling stories to the posterity after chow. Iron Will listened intently the entire time.

When I was finished, he immediately began regaling us with his own stories - many of which bore remarkable similarities to mine (I totally took it as a compliment).

About 10 minutes in, I had one of my other sons record the wee little man.

Here is about 4 minutes of what turned out to be an extraordinary and wonderful 25 minute session.

I hope you appreciate his skill at telling stories, his passion and mannerisms, and how hard he is working at pronunciation as much as we do!

I’ve had a hard time focusing today. I just can’t quite put down that despicable post from the man that aborted his daughter because her test results indicated she likely had Down Syndrome.

As the father of a daughter with DS, I know the statistics (I also know how the conversation goes with the Geneticist…), but to see someone publicly announce the murder of their child, and with such egocentric disdain, just has me very upset today.

Lord, have mercy
Christ, have mercy
Lord, have mercy

God in heaven, thank you for the gift of my Ellie.

This is absolutely lovely. Please listen. Dang you @ericchurch for making me homesick on a Thursday morning.

We were honored to welcome Archbishop Timothy Broglio JCD '70 back to campus on Monday! As the Archbishop for the U.S. Armed Forces, he was in town to bless the USS Cleveland, the Navy's newest warship.

While here, he met with two of our seniors headed to military academies: Joseph Revnew (West Point) and Nicholas Rivera (Air Force Academy).

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Saint Ignatius! 🌷

Today, we celebrate the amazing mothers and motherly figures whose love, strength, sacrifice, and support shape the lives of our students each and every day.

This Mother’s Day, we are also proud to premiere "Mothers of Summer," a student-made documentary created over the course of the 2025–26 school year by 64 seniors in Saint Ignatius High School Honors English IV. Through the stories of eight pairs of mothers and sons, the film explores the challenges, changes, fractures, and rebirth within their relationships over the course of their lives.

We invite you to watch the full documentary and celebrate the mothers whose stories remind us of the enduring power of love, forgiveness, and family. 🔗 https://t.co/gMINGoHceD

ONTO CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY ✈️🏀

[Elise Stefanik @EliseStefanik]

Last night’s State of the Union was a homerun and President Trump knocked it out of the park. I have attended all of his #SOTUs and he always delivers a great night.

But I can’t share enough how incredible these amazing Team USA gold medalist hockey players are - down to earth & grounded, extremely professional, proudly patriotic, very honored and humbled for their deserved and hard earned win. You can tell they are hard, hard workers with a love of the game and the grit to overcome many challenges that each has personally faced and that they faced as a team.

Many absolutely LOVE Lake Placid in #NY21 and Upstate New York and have many formative memories and experiences of hockey camps and games there especially growing up. I told them that I hoped they could hear the cheers across the Atlantic straight from Lake Placid especially, they all jumped and immediately said “We felt it!!”

They shared their personal experiences over the past few days and also some inside play by play of what was going on in their heads during the game and after (the penalty kills, Hellebuyck’s unbelievable goal tending performance, the OT golden goal, the experience in Milan over the weeks and on the rink). We talked about their families and kids - and what this meant to their parents (all those dedicated hockey moms and dads!). I spoke extensively to many of these legends and Jack Hughes excitedly shared his love of reading when I thanked him for his Pucks and Pages charity reading program that he does with his brother.

They represent America so well on the biggest stage in the world.

Total pros and proud Americans ❤️🇺🇸🥇

[JD Vance @JDVance]

This is a great speech. Worth watching the whole thing.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

I was impressed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Security Conference. He indeed addressed a number of particular political issues, but what most grabbed my attention was his stress on the common culture that unites Europe and America. He cited Dante, Shakespeare, the Sistine Chapel, Cologne Cathedral—even the Beatles as expressions of basic cultural intuitions that still inform the West. But he pressed the matter further, insisting, in the spirit of both Christopher Dawson and Pope Benedict XVI, that that culture is grounded ultimately in the Christian faith. It is simply the case that reverence for the dignity of the individual, for human rights, for political freedom, and for equality comes, in the final analysis, from the Christian Gospel. Basic to his presentation was the conviction that Europe and America will truly flourish when each re-discovers its spiritual mooring.

The Last Day of the Year

1. The last day of the year has come. It should be a day of reckoning and of resolution. Think of the many benefits which God has conferred on you throughout your life, but especially in the year which is now drawing to a close.

Count the temporal favours which you have received. Many of your friends and acquaintances have died during the year, but you are still alive. God has rescued you from innumerable perils and illnesses. He has allowed you more time in which to perfect your spiritual life and to perform apostolic work on your neighbour's behalf. Try not to be like the barren tree in the Gospel, because this could be your final year of trial.

Count the spiritual blessings which you have received. Think of the graces and good inspirations which God has given you during the past twelve months. How often have you received forgiveness for your sins, been restored to the friendship of God, and experienced anew the joy and peace of being in the state of grace? How often has Jesus come into your heart under the guise of the Blessed Eucharist? How often have you been enlightened and encouraged by hearing or reading the word of God? Think, too, of the good example which you have received in private and in public, and recall the many occasions on which the helping hand of God has reached out to save you from falling into sin.

You could never show sufficient gratitude for all these favours. Spend this day at least in acts of repentance and thanksgiving, and promise God to be faithful to Him in the coming year.

2. Now that the year is almost over, cast your mind back to the good resolutions which you made at the beginning of it. Have you put these resolutions into effect? Has there been any improvement in your spiritual life during these twelve months, or must you confess that it has deteriorated? How often have you committed sin, perhaps even grave sin, during the year? When God appealed to you to perform some good action, how often did you refuse Him?

Your future outlook is very dark if your life has developed into a gradual descent towards evil. Any day God could grow tired of your ingratitude and obstinacy and send death to end your infidelity. Then you would almost certainly be damned forever. If you have surrendered to spiritual languor and mediocrity, therefore, it is time for you to stir yourself. It is time to become more generous with God, to display a greater spirit of self-sacrifice in responding to His appeals, and to form firmer resolutions.

Virtue cannot co-exist with spiritual tepidity, which leads inevitably towards sin.

3. After he had spent a night fishing on the lake of Galilee without having caught anything, St. Peter was ordered by Jesus to cast his nets back into the sea. “Master,” the future Apostle replied, “the whole night through we have toiled and have taken nothing; but at thy word I will lower the net.” This act of perfect confidence in our Lord was soon rewarded, for when the fishermen lowered the net, "they enclosed a great number of fishes." (Luke 5:5-6)

Perhaps we have toiled hard and made many sacrifices during the past year. But have we worked with and for Jesus Christ? We may have thought more of ourselves than of Jesus and as a result achieved little or nothing in the spiritual life. The remedy is clear. We must remain close to Jesus, working with Him, in Him, and for Him. Then He will bless and strengthen the good resolutions which we are about to make. The secret of perfection is to live in constant union with Jesus Christ. (Antonio Cardinal Bacci)
