Remembering the time Nero gave a speech and said “When we watch a child grow, we see the splendor that radiates from each human soul,” and all the Christians in Rome were like, “We’ve never had such a pro-life Emperor!”

See my comments below, wherein I confess my role in originating this quote and try to explain what it meant. (Thanks to @JamesMartinSJ for inviting this reflection) americamagazine.org/content/…

Every morning the master would visit his vault, where the keeper of his gold would greet him with the same joke: “You’re still rich as Midas!” With that he was ready to begin the day. #TolstoysTalesofTeump

While playing with matches in the woods the master destroyed a nearby village. When assessed for damages, he first said it was a “perfect fire.” Then, if not perfect, still not a crime. Then, maybe a crime, “But I’m old. Should not God decide my fate?” #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Another great showing of “Revolution of the Heart.” Looking forward to seeing it again on PBS on March 6. Thank you @JourneyFilms and #DorothyDayGeorgetown
I see Dorothy as someone who walks ahead and is beckoning us...if there is going to be a church in the future, it will be because we are following the witness of Dorothy and the faith she calls us to —@RobertEllsberg @JourneyFilms #DorothyDayGeorgetown

When I’m interviewing new hires, I always find it is smart to determine if Adolf Hitler is among the top 3 people from history they would invite to dinner. #RedFlag washingtonpost.com/sports/20…

The master was not concerned that members of his household staff were talking about book deals. “Nobody reads books anymore,” he said. “The future is telegrams!” #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Wonderful turnout for #DorothyDayGeorgetown: 600 people to see the new documentary, “Revolution of the Heart.” But best of all was to see my sister @MaryEllsberg in the audience.
So moved by the life of Dorothy Day and hearing my brother @RobertEllsberg talk about the years he spent with her and the Catholic Worker. #DorothyDay

In studying the text of the master’s letter to the Ukrainian Minister, the Crown Prosecutor was particularly intrigued by an inscrutable line, evidently written in code: “Just to be clear, I am not asking for any idquay ropay oquay. “ #TolstoysTalesofTrump
