Bishop Barron asked if a wanted to go on a little pilgrimage to St. Thomas Aquinas College and offer Mass in their beautiful chapel. The trip was well worth it. So beautiful.

Preliminary to any efforts to evangelize is cultivating a willingness to be open to the possibility of friendship with people who do not share your worldview and with whom you disagree.

Friends, this Pentecost, I visited St. Joseph's and St. Louis de Montfort's, offering outdoor Benediction. Though many still cannot personally partake at Mass, Christ always abides with his Church in the gift of the Blessed Sacrament.

Bison are the only animal that turn into a snowstorm rather than away from it because they instinctively know that walking into the storm will get them out of the weather quicker. There may be a life lesson for humans in this. It also makes for some epic pictures.
