The human tragedy of the war is terrible, but I think it is also important to remember how the war is affecting animal life, too. This is absolutely heartbreaking.

St. Basil the Great (4th century), in a sermon on debt and lending: "Tell me, do you really seek riches and financial gain from the destitute? If this person had the resources to make you even wealthier, why did he come begging to your door? He came seeking an ally, but found an enemy."

While I appreciate "congratulations", I would appreciate your prayers that I grow into the ministry to which I am being called and ordained even more. I also ask the same prayers for Melanie McDaniel Yankey, Anna Erickson Baumann, and all those in lay or ordained ministries in the church.

Out of curiosity, I searched the Defense Department website (defense.gov) for "Medal of Honor Monday" and checked various links to the articles from the series. So far I have only been able to find the article about Maj. Gen Charles Calvin Rogers has been taken down. I did not find any others.

If it weren't clear already, the current administration's anti-DEI initiatives are really blatant racism, sexual, heterosexism, and transphobia. Here is some further evidence. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I am watching a Fr. Dowling mystery and feel a fond nostalgia for the days of innocence when I was so enamored with being Roman Catholic. Wise priests, strong nuns, and beautiful liturgy. I miss that innocence.
