Let's practice Advent living: Before December 24th: They say Christmas decorations. You say Advent decorations They say Christmas carols. You say Advent carols. They say Christmas party. You say Advent party. Etc etc etc etc. You might #SorryButNotSorry because they live #ChristmasButNotYetChristmas you can tell them they're #AdventButNotAdvent

Make straight the way of the Lord. Shopping is a way to prepare for Christmas, but there is a much better way. Go to confession.

If you are foraging for ugliness you will find it, reflect it, and it may consume you. Better to stop and seek beauty, and be consumed and transformed by it.

Dear bedbugs, You see that big huge bottle? That's isopropyl alcohol. Do not run. Do not hide. Just stay where you are. If you can, try to enjoy the last few bites of my flesh, because you will soon be....cured. #funnybutnotfunny #sorrybutnotsorry

Chastity isn't repression. It's not fake or unnatural, nor does it make you weird, rigid, or neurotic. Unchastity causes depression, compulsion, and unnatural preoccupations to dominate ones vision. Chastity is the appeal to the body's deeper longing for greater and higher communion. The biochemical make-up, the emotional inclinations of the human heart all reveal that it is hardwired like a swan instinctually to mate for life. Self mastery is important to be faithful to one spouse every day for life. This fidelity instinct can be directed to live celibacy, i.e. perpetual continence, which is possible only when our interior is intimately united to this deeper longing for purest love. Prudence is needed to avoid anything that clouds this union and custody of the heart from straying after false or lesser loves. Oh and when you do harness this deeper and purer love, you become full to overflowing with explosive joy!
