I along with my wife, and seven others were confirmed into full communion with the Catholic Church at Easter Vigil on Saturday evening. It was a beautiful service full of celebration and joy. We all felt truly loved and welcomed.

I want to share an image with you—an image that I think sheds light on how the pleasures the world offers pale in comparison to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. I was about eighteen, out on the town with friends in Adelaide. We’d spent the whole night partying—too much to drink, too much noise, chasing the kind of thrill we all assumed would make us happy. As dawn approached, we wandered through the quiet streets of the city, still laughing, still buzzing from the night.
I would love for your substack content to be available without having to contribute money. I'm not opposed to money, but I'm 81yo, living on minimal Social Security, and I simply can't afford it. When you do publish before the "to see more contents", I appreciate it. Thank you for your work!
I totally understand, George. If you would kindly email me your email address, I'll be happy to comp you a month or two so you can enjoy. I don't love paywalling the work, but I have to find a way to pay the rent too. I'm sure you understand. That said, I'm more than happy to share with those who aren't able to afford to pay for it. Cheers!
