Had the joy of preaching two homilies this Sunday. Here’s my second Sunday homily. “How do you expect to live without fear if you’ve made no real attempt to change your life?” fatherjoshuawhitfield.com/homily-the-onl…

It’s just weird being a life-long Rangers fan and watching such a whimpering offense. I feel like Bobby here watching these games.

One of the things I love most about baseball is that it’s a sport for everybody. You love the game, you’re in. That’s baseball. Loved sharing this with my daughters this weekend. So awesome. mlb.com/news/jen-pawol…

"Our labor here is brief, but the reward is eternal. Do not be disturbed by the clamor of the world..." -St. Clare of Assisi

This land was promised to Davy Crockett, but of course, he never got to enjoy it. It belonged to the Comanche anyway. Now I come here on occasion to sit in silence, like the meek inheriting the earth, in the Texas that’s still beautiful.

"Let each person be diligent to go to church, the place where the Spirit blossoms..." -Hippolytus

It was a gift to have Bishop Mark J. Seitz celebrate Mass at St. Rita last Sunday. Listen to his beautiful homily on how love casts out fear and inspires us to help others, fearless to help our immigrant brothers and sisters. Bishop Seitz has taught me so much. open.spotify.com/episode/5OqOxw…

"Do not give way to discouragement, even though you should fall frequently into mortal sin...perfect love will purify you." -St. Maximilian Kolbe

Am I the only priest who feels the Book of Blessings mysteriously contains every blessing known to humankind except the blessing you need at the moment?

Dallas landmark S. & D. Oyster Company is opening a cool little bar upstairs in a few weeks, so of course they called on me to come bless it. Love this place. Also, I really do have a pretty awesome gig.

❤️ Good words. “Trust in God, and God bless Texas.” mightyishercall.com/learning-to-tr…
