"I admit that we are all weak," preached St. Charles to the priests of Milan, "but if we want help, the Lord God has given us the means to find it easily." In my life, God has given me so much help through kind and faithful priests. Happy feast of St. Charles Borromeo!

Life shines brightly not because we are rich, beautiful or powerful. Instead, it shines when we discover within ourselves the truth that we are called by God, have a vocation, have a mission, that our lives serve something greater than ourselves.

Today I was walking back to Santa Maria della Grazie (where I’m living in Milan while I learn Italian), and I heard a little boy, 6 or 7 years old, say to his parents, “I want to be a Renaissance man.” The kids are alright.

We can hardly believe it. St. Bartolo Longo was canonized just last week. And just a month ago, during the 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Fr. Andrew Hofer, O.P., shared these words about him. St. Bartolo Longo gave his life to promoting the Rosary, trusting that its mysteries

I honestly believe it has to be regulated. We don't let parents give their kids cigarettes or cocaine and we shouldn't let them give their kids tech that is even more addictive and ruins their brains.
