“That’s the way it is. Good days, bad days. Up days, down days. Sad days, happy days. But never a boring day on this job. “You do what God has called you to do. You show up. You put one foot in front of another. You get on the rig, and you go out; you do the job, which is a mystery and a surprise. “You have no idea when you get on that rig, no matter how big the call, no matter how small. You have no idea what God’s calling you to. “But He needs you. He needs me. He needs all of us.” — Fr. Mychal Judge, FDNY chaplain, in his final homily, September 10, 2001

Faith is not something given to us once and for all. Rather, we continually need to rediscover the face of Christ and his Gospel, to enter more deeply into his message and to renew the choices we make in our lives, so that they may be consistent with what we profess. In this way, we can overcome the temptation to think that we already know everything and to reduce faith to mere habit. #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 16:13-20)

A River Runs Through It is a cinematic masterpiece. The older I get, the more I appreciate this scene. “And so it is those we live with and should know who elude us. But we can still love them - we can love completely without complete understanding.” teapawt.net/Sergiofordy/status/197…

I cannot imagine the experience of being present in a theater or music hall in the 16th century and hearing music such as this. It must have been otherworldly. 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐧: 𝐕𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐢 - "𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫" 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬

An American president threatening the death of an ancient civilization is in some ways the end of the 250-year moral experiment of a constitutional republic that the framers saw as a model for all mankind.

This is what I'm talkin' about! This was UCLA John Wooden-style basketball. It makes perfect sense, because John Wooden was UCLA coach Cori Close's mentor. Every other Tuesday for 15 years, Close met with John Wooden.

This Easter confronts us with a painful truth: many Christians have turned away from the way of the cross. Instead of following the crucified Christ, they align with the empire that crucified him—seeking power and influence.

The legacy of talented, dedicated people, going back to Eric Sevareid and more, has been undone in short order by untalented, feckless people. Remember this.

The CBS radio network played a remarkable role in our history & the evolution of broadcast journalism. It produced some of the most iconic reporting & spawned many of the greatest broadcast journalists of the 20th century. The legacy is enormous. Its shuttering, a jarring crosswords.

Jesus Christ is living and reigning in heaven and his kingdom will have no end. Genghis Khan’s kingdom is buried beneath the earth. It is enough to be moral. It is enough it be just. For by seeking justice we are citizens of the City of God.

Netanyahu: It is not enough to be moral. It is not enough to be just. "Jesus Christ has no advantage over Genghis Khan. If you are strong enough, ruthless enough, and powerful enough, evil will overcome good."
