I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Archbishop Duffy says that the discernment about whether to merge the dioceses will involve those affected. Even involving those affected would be an improvement over simply imposing restructuring from on high. However, I think that the clergy, employees and laity in general should be more than involved in such a decision. I think that they should be the primary ones making the decisions. After all, they are on the ground and know the situation, they built the churches and parishes in general, …
My unpopular opinion on this is that most people (particularly laypeople) ought to be left out of the decision to merge/close parishes and dioceses.
Most laity are less than worthless to have in these discussions. They typically have little clue about the sustainability of their parishes (sacramentally and/or financially), have the greatest amount of sentimental attachment, and are thus generally delusional in their expectations. The people who are most vocal and up-in-arms about closing a paris…
That’s a bit patronising. The People of God are wiser and more shrewd than you assume.
