Vainly we offer each ample oblation;
Vainly with gifts would his favour secure:
Richer by far is the heart's adoration;
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

My first adult ed class on heresies was so well-received that I think I'm going to do another one this spring. Toying with 2 Heresies 2 Furious: Get in Loser; We're Doing Pelagianism as a title. ⚓

I'll just say this from my long experience as a parish priest. The two kinds of people who act out in the most toxic ways are: (1) those who are used to being in control, and church is an extension of that (2) those who have no control over their lives and church is one place they can exert it.

Don’t say all the heroes in civil service are gone. Deep in the bowels of the CPSC, a true poster (posters?) remain, giving it all for their country and product safety
What iconic local landmark in your hometown can we photoshop into a space heater safety graphic. Extra points if your town has never appeared in a movie.

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.
Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

He'd just barely win and everyone in Western PA would say it was despite himself.
Would Mike Tomlin win in a primary against Fetterman? I'm not wishing.for this I'm just wondering how much PA as a whole would tolerate him

More of these guys in hotels, please, especially given I *always* forget to carry cash and end up making a madcap dash to a local atm.

Oh, did your football team not win a huge divisional game on the road and lock up the first overall seed and a bye for the playoffs?

Talented folks in the parish sewed a white set for us last year - and now, have finished a frontal for the altar. We only had a blue one before, and it is worn out - and it didn’t make sense to have it but not one for principal feasts. Combined with the new hardwood floors? AMAZING.

That Seahawks team is amazing and I know that they’re going to have the most hard fought 16-13 playoff loss that hinges on kicking a field goal when they should’ve gone for it on fourth and short
