On this #DivineMercy Sunday, I was blessed to attend Mass at the Pro-Cathedral of St. John the Apostle and Evangelist, my former home parish. How great it was to reconnect old friends and the pastor, Monsignor Delaney. Each time I return to this place, my faith is re-energized and I find so much joy. Thanks be to God! 55 1
Yesterday was my sister’s birthday. We were supposed to meet for dinner last night, but I took an evening “power nap” that lasted until 2 a.m. 🙊 87 0
The church pictured here is one of the most important places to me on Earth. I was reminded of it today while attending Mass more than a thousand miles away — as we heard the Gospel of Mark, 9:2-10, the story of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ. 55 0

I’ve been a Harry Potter fan since childhood, so I was thrilled to tour the Warner Brothers studio outside of London — the place where the Potter film sets are stored, and where much of the filming was done. 192 8
This is a wash closet just outside of Mount Sinai, at one of the last security checkpoints before reaching St. Catherine’s Monastery. I have wondered about the provenance of this toilet facility — Who owns it? There are many possibilities and it could even be government-owned. Perhaps use of the toilet was never meant to cost money, but intrepid people have taken it upon themselves to collect a fee? The facility is not accessible, so I did not ask. 53 0
Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training TODAY. ⚾️ Baseball is by far my favorite sport, but I haven’t been to a game since the 2019 National League Championship Series in St. Louis. Hopefully I’ll be able to see a game in 2021! Go Cardinals! 66 0
