September 10 is celebrated by the Missionaries of Charity as Inspiration Day—the day in 1946 Mother Teresa received her “call within a call,” to leave her convent in Calcutta and go out to the streets to find Jesus in “his most distressing disguise” in the poorest of the poor.

The master liked to downplay the threat of fire, flood, and plague, so as not to cause panic among the peasants. But tonight he planned to deliver a very special speech about bears and anarchists. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Today, Sept 9, is the 40th anniversary of John Howard Griffin’s death in 1980. (My reflections below for his centenary in June.) It is significant that his life of radical empathy and solidarity should be remembered in this time of #BLM awakening.
Here is my take on the centenary of John Howard Griffin: Remembering John Howard Griffin at 100: Catholic Convert who wrote ‘Black Like Me’ americamagazine.org/faith/20…

Bd Frédéric Ozanam, founder, St Vincent de Paul Society, d Sept 8 1853. Moved by the squalor of the Paris slums he tried to bridge the gap between the church and the working class. “It is the violent collision of opulence and poverty which makes the earth tremble under our feet.”

The master liked to hire actors to help him reenact scenes of past humiliation. Except this time he had prepared clever ripostes and got to have the last word. “Good day, Sir. I said GOOD DAY!” They became cherished memories. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

“I hate the fool who acts like a philosopher; I hate the rich man who groans that he is poor; I hate the person who is forever changing his ways; I hate the judge who is a respecter of persons; I hate silence when it is time to speak.” —St. Kassiani, 865

Not quite COURAGEOUS enough to say they believe Pope Francis is a “Catholic in name only” but that is the obvious subtext.
As the Bishop of Tyler I endorse Fr Altman’s statement in this video. My shame is that it has taken me so long. Thank you Fr Altman for your COURAGE. If you love Jesus & His Church & this nation...pleases HEED THIS MESSAGE piped.video/3-7eoTN2vNM

After a day of valor on the playing fields the master liked to relax with his band of brothers. He thanked God for not making him a loser. #TolstoysTalesofTrump
