Amen 🙏
I would also like to address fathers and grandfathers. Young people need to see that you pray, receive the sacraments, treat your wives with respect, ask for forgiveness and live with integrity, even when doing so requires sacrifice. Children learn a great deal by seeing that their father can kneel before God without feeling that he is any less of a man for doing it.

Pope Leo XIV in Uruguay:
“The unborn already belong to the human family, and to the future of their people. Their absolute dependence on their mother does not diminish the dignity to which they are entitled, nor to the protection they deserve. Jesus Himself chose to assume this condition.
Welcoming a new life requires that fathers assume their responsibilities alongside mothers, that the family offers their support and that social conditions exist that allow both parents to raise and care for their children.
Protection of the unborn and the support of those who welcome them are inseparable. The family remains the primary setting in which each person is welcomed and learns to life with others.
St. John Paul II, who also had the joy to visit this land, expressed this in a phrase that retains all of its original force; “As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.””
SMTTT!!
I love the returning rotation for @SouthernMissBSB — should be one of the nation's best. And it sounds like the Golden Eagles once again did an excellent job plugging holes after losing some key mainstays in the lineup. Gonna be another fun year in Hattiesburg.

Happy All Saints’ Day. ✝️💧🔥
Today we celebrate the great cloud of witnesses who fought the good fight, and finished the race! 🏃♂️
All Holy men & women, pray for us. 🙏

Holiness is not a privilege reserved for a few, but a universal vocation that speaks to each of us where we live. This is the hope-filled message of today’s feast: God sees the good that we do not see, knows stories that we do not know, and reaches hearts to which we have no access.

The Solemnity of All Saints, which we celebrate today, invites us to share in the joy of that countless family of men and women who, following the Lord Jesus, have made their lives a gift to God and to their neighbors.
Can’t wait for the spring! SMTTT!
Southern Miss has all 3 rotation members back for 2027. In addition to Grayden Harris who struck out five in three innings Friday, Camden Clark and Camden Sunstrom dueled today. Clark is 93-95 with a swing and miss low 80s change up. Sunstrom is 92-93 with a wipeout mid-80s slider and change. Clark worked 3 scoreless innings and had 5 strikeouts, 4 coming on the change. Sunstrom threw 4 scoreless innings and fanned 3, all on the slider.

And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
This is the great and first commandment.
And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Matthew 22:37-39

1 O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures for ever.

If anyone seeing this is in OCIA or seriously looking into the Catholic faith & worried about how your family may respond, I hope this is helpful. Never be afraid of following where the Lord leads! 🙏 @chnetwork
Catholic Converts: Are you the only Catholic in your family?
Matt Gerald came from a small denomination based in Mississippi, which most of his family was a part of.
He shares how he's learned to understand his Catholic Faith in light of those roots: youtube.com/watch?v=3QvLVkVM…
I spend too much time mindlessly scrolling through X.
For those who follow me, you know I post a bible verse daily. You won’t see my normal posts but nothing is wrong, taking a long break from X after today, maybe even all of 2026. Wishing everyone a Happy & blessed New Year!

Catholics aren't just Christians with bad theology.
If they believe everything the Catholic Church teaches, they're headed for Hell since they cling to Jesus + works for salvation and not Jesus alone.
