If you are demanding the peace prize or even suggesting that it be given to you, are you promoting peace?

@deacongreg.bsky.social spent 25 years as a writer at CBS News. I got to know him back in the halcyon days of early blogging circa 2009. In this episode of @deaconspod.bsky.social, he speaks with @deaconmike.bsky.social and Deacon Mike Berstene about Pope Leo, being a cancer survivor, and more:

"You never know how God is going to work – and the way he is going to use you," says Deacon Greg Kandra. "Every moment of your life is formation." @deacongreg.bsky.social is our guest on this brand new episode of @deaconspod.bsky.social hosted by @deaconmike.bsky.social and Deacon Mike Berstene:

Say the word and you'll be free Say the word and be like me Say the word I'm thinking of Have you heard the word is love? It's so fine, it's sunshine It's the word, love In the beginning I misunderstood But now I've got it, the word is good The Beatles I approve this message.

All things must pass. Except our souls. Our souls are meant to be with God.

Who said anything about “liking” your enemies?

Sometimes I realize that some people don’t like me as much as I thought they did.

New York Times headline: Breaking news: Trump threatens to cancel Kennedy Center renovation if his name isn’t added. Hahahaha.

The New York Times: Breaking news: Trump rejects calls to rein in A.I., saying a smart president is all that’s needed Come, Lord Jesus

It is critical that we don’t replace Jesus with the Church.

@forord.bsky.social hey. Long time no see your posts.

Here is a clip from latest episode of our #podcast @deaconspod.bsky.social ... In the episode, @deacondrew.bsky.social and @grnmtnby.bsky.social speak with Kathryn Muensterman, a PhD student at @notredame.bsky.social, about her recent @commonwealmagazine.org article "From Summit to Source":

Kathryn Muensterman has written an important essay in @commonwealmagazine.org and we had a great conversation about “From Summit to Source”. What is your response to the Eucharist? What is our response to the presence of Christ in our lives?

Pay the woman her money. You’re embarrassing yourself. Oh that’s right. Narcissism trumps self awareness. You see what I did there?

This seems like, and I admit, most likely is, an inhospitable thing to say, but why do people set themselves up on the beach 15 feet away when they have a whole beach. In front of me. Please feel free to tell me all that’s wrong with me.

Thank you Mollie! And if you’re a fan of @mollieoreilly.bsky.social like we are, you can hear her on Episode 79 of @deaconspod.bsky.social where she gives great advice on, among other things, staying Catholic.

This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to know more about what happens to people detained by ICE (and the families they're taken from), and what's happening at Delaney Hall in NJ now. Susan's perspective here is grounded in a year of direct ministry experience, and the clarity of the Gospel.

Please join me today as I pray for the souls of all those who lost their lives because of the utter foolishness of man.

Acts: “Stephen said to the people, the elders, and the scribes: “You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always oppose the Holy Spirit; you are just like your ancestors.” If I spoke to my congregation like this, someone might throw fruit at me. But I doubt they would stone me

And I would suggest that none of us are exempt from finding ourselves in Hell if we refuse to repent and obey the commandment to love. If you’re not afraid of The Hague, at least consider your own soul. If you have one.

I wonder if Roberts gets up in the morning and contemplating his career while looking in mirror, mutters, oh shit.

Of course he’s going to screw it up.
