Getting ready for bed. I’m pulling out my rosary beads and praying for Damar Hamlin and his family. #buffalobills

I gave this couple an image of Our Lady of the Milk from the Holy Land and prayed for them at the La Leche Shrine in St Augustine a year ago. Today I baptized their baby girl. #priestlife #spiritualfather

After reading hundreds of books about Mary and authoring some myself, there is no need for another book on Mary, EVER! Hands down, the best book I’ve ever read. If you want to know Mary, read this book.
