This was 18 years ago today! My confession turned into a family joke, and until I posted this story, they never knew the joke was secretly an act of love.

So a fetus is a person when trying to deny women rights, but not when the hospital's wallet is on the line? It's obvious the true ideology here is about controlling women and nothing more.
Aiming to limit damages, Catholic hospital argues a fetus isn't the same as a 'person'

Why isn't the world going insane at Republican politicians visiting concentration camps and posing in front of people who will likely be dead within the decade.
This wasn't even normal in 1942. It's not even normal in North Korea - Fascist regimes usually keep their death camps a secret.

Pope Francis called a Catholic church in Gaza every day during the past 18 months to ask about their safety. Now, with the pope dead, they feel they have lost a friend. Read more from @BBCNews

Since today is the Feast of the Annunciation and I'm a priest at a church dedicated to Our Lady, figured I'd write a little something about the day (that also aims to challenge the traditions a little bit).

Measuring Up to Jesus
The other day when I was on Social Media a quote I saw from sales guru hit me: “You become what you think about all day long”. It made me ponder on what I think about every day, which lead me to realize how much my thinking – and lifestyle – has changed over the years.
I used to be more selfish, helping and serving others with the end motive of serving my own needs and ego, and praying for my own needs – talking to God more than listening. St. Francis says [that] it is through giving that we receive, and I took it literal.
Today … when I give of myself I don’t look for what I receive, because the real gift is how God is blessing others through me .. which I may never see. My agenda has become God’s agenda. Said another way, I live my life as a prayer.
If we focus our attention on bad news and gossip, and distractions, we will miss God's incredible, visionary, optimistic purpose for every believer: to grow so much in our faith that we shine like beacons to everyone around us!
God's vision for each church is that we would grow so much in our love for God that we'd love people the way He loves them: unconditionally and passionately.
