It’s Okay To Be Single
Shout out to everyone who is single. That’s right. And coming from a celibate priest, I need to let you know it will be okay. We can often experience a feeling of not being chosen when living a single life. We can often feel as if, I guess, I’m just not worth it. There’s something wrong with me.

Pentecost
Blessed Pentecost to everyone. Come, Holy Spirit, “Veni Sancte Spiritus,” let the fire fall.

He helped win world championships as a player for the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Los Angeles Dodgers, and also as manager of the 1969 New York “Miracle Mets.” But despite all his impressive baseball statistics, accolades, and humble example of leadership off the field, Gil Hodges is not enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
