I absolutely love this.

In today's reflection for Corpus Christi, I share the stories of two men who distributed Holy Communion and celebrated masses within labor camps and behind prison walls: Fr. Walter Ciszek, SJ and Venerable Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan. medium.com/@chriscrawford…

In a world where ingratitude and the thirst for power often prevail and the logic of exclusion seems to dominate, we are called to bear witness to the gratitude and generosity of Christ, to exultation and joy, and the tenderness and mercy of His Heart.

Really interesting conversation between James Martin, SJ and Pete Buttigieg. youtube.com/watch?v=JIftdh…

Not a Homily: Solemnity of St. Peter and Paul: "I pray that each of us may live in such a way that we too can one day turn to Jesus and say, with integrity and gratitude, 'I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.'" medium.com/@chriscrawford…

I love this man. Send this homily to a priest, seminarian, or discerner and let them know you are praying for them! osvnews.com/full-text-of-t…

I encourage all to read this thread, including Bishop Kevin Rhodes’ full op-ed. Let us work together for compassionate treatment of migrants and asylum seekers as well as comprehensive immigration reform.

Jesus asks Simon Peter, "Who do you say that I am?" If we get this answer right, we better understand who *we* are. medium.com/@chriscrawford…

Please stop assuming that too many em dashes means AI written. Some of us are producing grammatically incoherent work the honest way!

"There is a tendency in our ecclesial cultures to see our service to and defense of the poor as of secondary importance, or even extraneous to the evangelizing mission of the Church. This is a severe misreading of the sign that is Christ" -- Bishop Daniel Flores

On the anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg of 1863, American Battlefield Trust is launching a fitness challenge and donation drive. I'm going to run and walk (and maybe bike if I need to) 63 miles in the month of July and try to help the Trust raise funds. battlefields.donordrive.com/participants/1…

"That is what they say"? Who? I've got a lot of issues with Republicans in Congress. They often fall far short of what I would define as fully "pro-life." But this is a ridiculous characterization.

Happy George Gordon Meade Out-Generaled Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg Day to all who celebrate. Meade deserves more credit for Gettysburg and his service in the rest of the war. Thank you, Ol' Snapping Turtle.

"It's right to be able to control our borders. However, what's going on now is something far beyond that. It's not only incompatible with Catholic teaching, it's inhumane and morally repugnant." Cardinal Robert McElroy speaks to Christopher Lamb about Trump's immigrant deportations
