Friends, I have accepted the call to serve as the new Rector of Grace in The Plains (Virginia). I’m excited about this new chapter in my priestly ministry. My first day will be December 1st.

One of the moments I treasure most as a priest is vesting for the Eucharist: the quiet ritual of prayer and preparation before stepping into mystery. Each short prayer as I vest draws me deeper into the grace of what we’re about to celebrate: the Sacrament of Love.

Blessed All Hallow's Eve. Today we remember that all is sacred. We are all called to holiness - to friendship with God.
Even the parts of ourselves that feel like monsters and ghouls, the pieces we hide behind masks, the things we want to disguise afraid they’ll make us unlovable.

Today is the Feast of Saints Crispin and Crispinian - patrons of courage and craft.
Time for the annual rewatch of Kenneth Branagh’s St. Crispin’s Day speech. “We few, we happy few…”

“Does God really forget our sins?”
That’s the question Anthony Grasso (Fabien Frankel) wrestles with in the latest episode of Task (HBO). He wants to know how God will deal with all his past sins.

Calling all Christian ghouls, saints, and scripture sleuths!
I am planning a Spooky Evening Prayer. Think of it as a candlelit service filled with mystery, beauty, and a touch of the spine-tingling!
Help me build the perfect atmosphere:

"Am I not here, I who am your mother?
Are you not under my shadow and protection?
Am I not the fountain of your joy?
Are you not in the folds of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms?
Do you need anything more?
Let nothing else worry you or disturb you."
— Our Lady of Guadalupe
