Father Jim Sichko@JimSichko (March 20,2023)

Fr Matthew P. Schneider, LC@FrMatthewLC (March 20,2023) Someone has no idea how much garlic my mom puts in her food. I think after dinner our family’s breath could kill a herd of vampires. Some family members eat whole pickled cloves of garlic. I grew up with lower capsaicin than many, but I doubt we lacked seasoning.

Joy Marie Clarkson ☀️@joynessthebrave (March 21, 2023) friendship is wild. you just meet someone, show interest, hang out a bit, gradually acquire shared history, then you hang out, and support each other, and check in on them every week for the rest of your life… and it all starts by meeting someone and thinking “they’re cool.”

Owl! at the Library ��‍♀️@SketchesbyBoze (March 21, 2023)I could tell you horror stories about American public education.

Katie Prejean McGrady@KatiePMcGrady (March 22, 2023)
I will enter the confession discourse with simply this:

The greatest privilege of my life is that I have close priest friends who come over for dinner often enough that I can just ask them to hear my confession in my home office, and it’s something I will never take for granted

What can we learn from this?

Befriend your priests. Invite them for dinner. Everyone wins.
