Honored to get the chance to write about one of the people spiritual writers who’s formed the way I minister and what he can teach our world today. Thanks so much, @MillennialJourn!

We are deeply saddened at the news of the passing of Magic legend Kai Budde. His achievements in the game and community go beyond what we could say in one post. Our thoughts go out to Kai's friends and family in this moment.

Big personal news - today is my last day at Sacred Heart Parish in Newton, MA. I start at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, CT as Campus Minister for Student Engagement Monday.
Here are 4 of the best pictures I was in in my time here:
"God loves everyone. Evil will not prevail. We are all in the hands of God. So without fear, united, hand in hand, with God and among ourselves, we go forward... May we all build bridges with dialogue and encounter, so we can all be one people all in peace.” –our new Pope Leo XIV
This moment taught me everything I needed to know about Pope Francis, his kindness, compassion and pastoral sensitivity… May he rest in peace

As our Muslim friends say when someone dies, “To God we belong, and to Him are we ever returning.” Pope Francis surely understood this—that our entire life is a journey to (and with) God.
May our pope rejoice in the loving embrace of the All Merciful.
In Japan with my best friends from Fairfield for the next week or so! (I am here first because flights)
Gonna be posting pictures and stuff over on Instagram rather than here, if you want to see them feel free to follow me at frega_nick
Pope Francis on his time in Indonesia: "Compassion is the path that Christians can and must walk to...encounter the great religious and cultural traditions...God is close, God is merciful and God is compassionate. If a Christian does not have compassion, he is of no use."
Football is the only sport I watch. So, I always enjoy the game tonight. But my favorite team is the Jets, so I have not seen much success. So let’s just hope for a fun game 😐
My forever friends, my chosen family @myles_rey and @carley_fredr are married! Thanks for letting me share as a major part of your day, groomsman and Minister of Communion. In my totally unbiased opinion, this is one of the best things that has ever happened
In our world, there is much suffering, but this week, I have much to celebrate, so I will listen to Pope Francis’s challenge to be joyful and compassionate.
Thursday - I turn 30
Saturday - one of 3 best friends @myles_rey gets married
Sunday - another of 3 best friends turns 30
