1 Corinthians 5:7b-8a “Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed.” Happy Easter! I pray this Easter season is full of joy in the resurrection of Our Lord.

Remembering this carving of The Paschal Lamb. This altar was for the St. Gregory The Great Adoration Chapel in Enid, OK.

A blessed last day of Advent. Meditating on the love poured out by the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph that first Advent. Praying the St. Andrew’s Christmas Novena prayer.

“Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary,

at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold.

In that hour vouchsafe, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires through the merits of

Our Savior Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother. Amen.”

The Church is intolerant in principle because she believes, but is tolerant in practice because she loves. Enemies of the Church are tolerant in principle because they do not believe, but they are intolerant in practice because they do not love.

- Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange

I wanted to refrain from speaking on this issue for a time being simply because I needed time to reflect on what happened and the aftermath that I have been witnessing. I wished I had never seen that video on the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I knew almost immediately the likely outcome of that shot and yet I still prayed for Charlie in that moment. As a husband and a father of two daughters the same age as Charlies daughters, death became even more real to me as do the responsibilities and duties that I have to my bride and children that we bring into this world. I grieve for the loss of this man whom I have never met nor watched a lot of his materials and it cannot be denied the impact that Charlie Kirk had on the political realm without being a politician himself. In the materials that I have watched of Charlies interaction, I can't help but think of the above quote. He allowed those who most disagreed with come to forefront, gave them a microphone and their 30 seconds of fame so that he can have an honest and intellectual conversation with them. He was brutally executed in the public square for speaking truth with compassion to those who were sincere in their intellectual journey.

To those who danced and rejoiced in the wake of his death, may God have mercy on your soul. You have shown your true colors.

What an incredible opportunity to be able to visit this gorgeous Basilica in Milwaukee, WI. Easily one of my top favorite churches in America and highly recommend visiting if you are in the area.

I could spend a lifetime in this church and never fully uncover every detail and symbolism that exists within these walls. As soon as I entered the doorway into this Basilica, my eyes were flooded with beauty that I couldn't stop looking around to soak it all in or as my wife says, "Overwhelmed by Beauty." This is, in my mind, how churches ought to be built. Every square inch covered in beauty to express some aspect of God who is Beauty itself. In just the same way that I could spend a lifetime studying this church and never fully comprehending the details, we could spend a lifetime in a relationship with the One who Created us and never fully understand His ways. The church is after the House of God, therefore, the walls ought to express the richness and beauty of God as much as it is humanly possible. Our ancestors understood this and unfortunately in the age of modernity, our churches opt for bare walls and bland images that doesn't allow us to gaze and wonder but rather depresses us into boredom. Every inch of these walls is an opportunity for me to dive deeper into prayer even if I were to be distracted during Holy Mass. We need to become a culture that appreciates beauty, that loves beautiful things and doesn't shy away from the richness that we are capable of crafting for God.

Fortunately, with our younger generation, it does appear that we are slowly moving back to that appreciation for craft and beautiful churches. I pray and hope for the restoration of this level of craftsmanship and beauty in our parishes.
