Our cat had a great day getting blessed at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity here in Paris (part of the Episcopal Convocation of Europe). Many comments for how fluffy and how big he is. I’m pretty sure he was bigger than half the dogs who were there. ⚓️

Let's all take a moment to read the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. It's only one sentence.

Wrote a little piece for Urban Monastics last week on bettering our cities via volunteering for the Olympics!
Walking with God as an Olympic Volunteer
@jordanprins.com was one of the 40,000 volunteers of the Paris Olympic Games. Together, we pursued a better future for my city and our world. I got to partner in many beautiful ways God was already working in people.

Went to the first Christmas Market of the season tonight! Toulousian sausage, tartiflette, and beer. Thanks for a nice evening tuileries garden. Advent and Christmas is a wonderful time to live in Paris.

I’m better translating images.
Glass of wine in-hand, chilly weather outside, enjoying the twinkly lights, and candles on my table.. contemplating the chaos of life swirling around me. Happy Saturday.

Every month I treasure these times together. From the liturgies to the conversation. Just so meaningful to connect, share, and be encouraged.
This conversation on embodying the fruit of the Spirit is easily one of my favorites. Top 5 from the last 4 years. It was so rich, personal, and encouraging.

What a wonderful gathering of Urban Monastics today. Together we started in Vespers, Eucharst, and a really wonderful conversation on Embodying the Fruit of the Spirit.
It is a wonderful hour to bless you today or this week.

Christmas is a tough time of year to be an immigrant. I’m so glad that our families over there get to enjoy each others company. Being so far away is just hard.
Could you pray for us, and all those like us who are far from family this holiday?
