Very good! I baptized a wee child, we sang ‘Children of the Heavenly Father,’ and a group of parishioners got together to host lunch (including freshly smoked pulled pork!)

I’m listening to Florence + The Machine’s new album and am absolutely OBSESSED with the image of Florence downloading Julian of Norwich’s Revelations of Divine Love on her phone.

Okay, just to brag a little bit here, I had two major thrift store finds today, both unused and with their original tags: a Cutter & Buck jacket ($205, I paid $17!) and a CalPak backpack ($138, I paid $6!)

(The backpack might be more or less bc the color (a matte red) seems to be discontinued.)

The Rt Rev’d Craig Loya, 10th Bishop of Minnesota, speaking outside the federal building—named for his first predecessor—where the Secretary for Homeland Security was making an announcement about increased immigration enforcement in Minnesota. This is what moral clarity looks like!

And to think…it used to take almost losing a war against a colonial superpower to have this kind of damage done to the White House.

I #touchedpews today at St John’s, Lafayette Square. Specifically I touched Mr. Lincoln’s pew. 🕯️

Nothing like a little doomscrolling before celebrating the sacred mysteries. 🕯️

@karanslade.bsky.social and I bring a certain cool maiden aunt energy to any gathering, but especially so at wedding receptions. 🕯️#OGS

@jtrumble.bsky.social and I touched pews this morning at St. Mark’s, Locust Street where the incomparable Fr Cobb is interim rector. 🕯️

Overwhelmed! At The Ulta Beauty

You can see a few of the Australian brothers in these pictures from the archives wearing the white habit (for some reason, Fr Helms doesn’t have his scapular on in the picture at right.)

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to BlueSky.

While doing research for tomorrow's homily, I found this lovely little section from the 17th C Hindu saint, Tukaram. It was cited by a Benedictine monk in the context of interfaith dialogue around hospitality. 🕯️

Today’s wisdom from the group chat. 🕯️

I started to text @caityjokes.bsky.social something very petty (but 100% accurate) but stopped before sending it.

If you see me at the club, this is what you’ll find

I love that the mass leaflet for the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis (across the park from the Episcopal Cathedral of St. Mark) recognizes that some Anglicans keep the Assumption as well! The Bishop of Rome hath no jurisdiction &c., but when he's right, he's right. 🕯️

This is the stupidest (and maybe also the coolest?) sink I’ve ever seen.

Ha! Fr. Alec Vidler, OGS advocated strongly against the clerical collar and instead prescribed a black shirt and white necktie for clergy. I’m glad that Fr Vidler’s enlightened circles didn’t last! 😉 Here’s a bit from his Scenes of a Clerical Life (1977.)

Religious having fun. Br. Jacob and I discovered that scapulars are not actually conductive to playing volleyball. 🕯️

A rabbi, a nun, and a priest: a joke in the flesh. 🕯️
