Early exit polls suggest the new pope did particularly well with male voters aged 45-79.

Hell has been harrowed.

Following up today’s gospel reading with “I the Lord of sea and sky” is quite a choice.

“Inwardly digest” always struck me as redundant until I learned that starfish feed by projecting their stomachs out of their bodies to consume their prey 😱 ⚓️📕🕯️

There’s a Hasidic saying: keep two truths, one in each pocket, and take them out as needed (to counterbalance where you’re at at that moment); in one pocket: for me the world was created (embrace that excellence) & in the other, I am but dust and ashes (the ain’tshitness of your being).
