Whoever said, ‘You should never meet your heroes’?!
Enjoyed an @Orioles game with my baseball hero Bill James. His kindness, generosity with his time, and his amazing baseball mind were all so apparent. Also, KC BBQ is really good 😋

Bishop Burbidge celebrates his seventh anniversary as Bishop of Arlington today! Let us pray that he remain close to our Eucharistic Lord, renewed by the Holy Spirit and consoled by Our Lady, Mother of Priests.

May we be united in prayer as we mourn the death of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. As we give thanks for his faithful witness, intellectual contributions and pastoral charity, we ask the Lord to grant this good shepherd eternal rest and abundant reward for his labors.
Pope emeritus Benedict XVI, one of the world’s foremost theologians and the first pope to retire in almost 600 years, has died at the age of 95.

Tomorrow marks the 1st anniversary of my mom’s death (and the near end of a post-partum year). It’s been a blur. I’m always a grateful for the space to share some thoughts, now that I am starting to have coherent ones again. This one’s on pilgrimage.
