Catholics in Finland are having to travel hundreds of miles to reach Mass as the country’s only diocese struggles to meet the needs of a growing and scattered flock. Read here ➡️ heraldl.ink/finland- #Catholic #Finland #Europe

Spent last week on Belle-Île in Bretagne. Twenty+ young people, three brothers and a sister, theology of the Trinity and beach and fellowship. Met up with another group of OPs cruising in sailing boats with St Vincent Ferrer's relics for a parish mission on St Dominic's feast ❤️‍🔥

Jubilatio Jeunesse dominicaine, TheoDom, Kergallic: instagram.com/jubilatio.jeun…

A nice tree in Vannes.

A little French tradition of mine: to use gifts received for various occasions (ranging from bye bye to catechism classes to solemn profession to now deaconal ordination) to buy edifying Pléiade volumes. Thanks for the Légende dorée, lay dominicans of Fribourg.

There we are! Deacon ticket for the Frassati-Acutis canonisation mass is secured!

The pope picked a good day for praying and fasting for peace. The Liturgy of the Hours let's us listen to these powerful oracles of the prophet Isaiah. Let us pray that Israel remembers it's prophets of old and breaks the cycle of violence and addiction to military strength.

I think I decided what books to pack for my year in Cairo.

La semaine prochaine, huit jeunes hommes qui ont passé un an dans notre noviciat à Lille feront leur première profession dans l'Ordre des Prêcheurs. Priez pour eux ! Et regardez cette toute nouvelle vidéo qui décrit la vie d'un novice OP. Et re-tweet! youtube.com/watch?v=8pHDs5…

Deacon Ekman reporting in for canonisation of Pier Giorgio Frassati and Carlo Acutis.

What a profound joy to serve as a deacon for this canonisation of a beloved dominican lay saint - Pier Giorgio Frassati, and the millennial saint Carlo Acutis. Two lovers of the eucharistic Jesus and the poor. Verso l'alto!

On s'amuse à Rome. Deaconed with cardinal Re for the thanksgiving mass for saint Pier Giorgio. (Where's Ekman?) Now it's time to leave for Egypt!
