Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me.

There's much to admire and learn from in the Chestertonian corpus; Orthodoxy is a marvel.

But anti-Semitism disfigured his mind, and that dimension of his legacy is nothing to celebrate.

Congratulations to the 17 Jesuits who were ordained to the diaconate in Paris on April 20, including six Jesuits of the U.S. and Canada: Ulises Covarrubias, David Inczauskis, Matthew Ippel, Joseph Lorenz, Fernando Saldivar and Rivelt Silneus. AMDG!
