Me: God is the greatest sitcom writer and he proves it with my life.
Fr: 😂 yes, but your life is not a joke it’s a divine comedy.
Me: 😂 that was gold!

One of the men at our homeless shelter has had a problem with his liver for 10 years.
At the Easter Vigil he prayed before receiving the Eucharist:
“Lord, if you will it, heal my liver.”
Today he went to his doctor and she said his liver has completely healed!
PTL!
Saw this dude today.
I was moved more than I thought I would be.
Looking at his birth year I realized we’re almost the same age. We could’ve hung out and been friends.
But it really hit me that it meant I could actually be a saint too and in a real, tangible way.

It’s because the wrapping paper is cheaper and thinner. If you buy quality and thicker wrapping paper the scissors will glide effortlessly. But who’s got quality wrapping paper money these days???
A really dramatic example of the Leidenfrost effect: The moisture on his skin boils instantly, forming a layer of steam that insulates for a very short time, a temporary barrier between this person and the molten metal…
Little kid behind me at Mass today, in a moment of silence, yells out: “ARE YOU SPEAKING TO US, GOD‽”
We must become like little children because we easily forget that God’s first language is silence.
My friend Chris died today.
Please pray for the repose of her soul and for her husband and all who love her.
She brought light, joy, laughter, and warmth to every room she graced with her presence.

Two Norbertines were involved in a terrible auto accident upon leaving the abbey property on early Friday evening, May 21st. Fr. Graham Golden, 35, was killed at the scene. Brother Lorenzo (Edgar) Romero, 24, was injured, but will recover.
As someone with a lot of priest friends let me just say:
PRAY
FOR 🙏🏽 YOUR
PRIESTS!
(Yes, also the ones who annoy you).
This is a priest appreciation post.
Could use some prayers. Pretty sure I’ll be unemployed soon. The high school I teach at is closing it’s doors and only keeping upperclassmen for next year.
Me: *comfortable*
Jesus: ...hmmm let’s change that.
I was just informed that a priest I know is seeking laicization due to credible allegations of sexual misconduct with young adult women. Please pray for the victims, all involved, and that truth and justice prevail.
Y’all wanna know the DUMB thing I almost did tonight?
Let me tell you.
I ALMOST left the church with the ONLY tabernacle key.
Thankfully I asked: “Did we put all the keys bac…*GIANT GASP* THE TABERNACLE KEY IS IN MY POCKET!”
Good job, Guardian Angel.

Why do men think going to see a movie is a good first date idea?
Yes, let’s exchange pleasantries and then sit next to each other in silence for 90+ minutes. 🙄🙃🙄

Priest I don’t know: *sits down to hear confessions*
Me: *grabs sister* you know that guy?
Sr: No.
Me: *looks for adult; remembers I am adult*
Hi, Father, quick question.
Fr: Who am I?
Me: Yes, and do you have a letter of good standing?
I gave a talk at a parish tonight and after a woman came up to tell me that I was her daughter’s camp counselor years ago and that her daughter saw my name in the bulletin and told her mom she had to go.
This kid is a senior in college and still remembered me. 🥺😭🥰
Our campus minister has an obsession with
@BaritusCatholic
and I’m all for it. This is his 3rd (?) order. Pretty sure he’s single handedly paying his mortgage 😂
#AnnaAndTheCelibates
Me: You know I’m going to post this and make fun of it on the internet right?
Fr: It is right and just. Just don’t name the parish plz.
Me: I won’t. That would doxx me.
#NoSinGang
Went to normally scheduled parish confessions for the first time in years.
(I rarely have pleasant experiences at parish confessions)
God is so merciful:
30 second confession, gave no advice, normal penance, correct form of absolution.🥹🥰
Maybe Jesus does love me.
Please pray for the repose of the soul of one of my favorite professors and priests, Fr. Kevin O’Reilly who died unexpectedly today.
He was a humble man who exuded the virtue of charity, had HORRIBLE jokes, and had the BEST analogy for the Trinity: the Divine Pizza. Et et.
If y’all could please pray for my Homeslice, Fr. Louis, I’d really appreciate it.
Covid symptoms for months, double pneumonia, emergency back surgery, and cancer on his kidney.
The greatest birthday gift I received today was a student, who 2 weeks ago told me he was atheist, asked to pray with my relic of St. Jude and go to the chapel to be alone and pray for the last 5 mins of class.
He came back after school to tell me he’s no longer an atheist. PTL!

Fr: I read my homily from my phone.
Me: I know. I saw.
Fr: So the first thing I saw before preaching was your text saying “YEEE”.
Me: You’re welcome.
There’s a laicized priest in my boomerbook mentions who is denying the fact that he was laicized. 🙄
He’s also spreading lies and helping someone else deceive others.
Please pray for him and this unfortunate situation.
