Thankful to the Lord this morning praying Psalm 66, with a cool breeze coming through the windows and the smell of rain in the desert. 🌵 Did you know God loves you? He loves you so much He came to be among us in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Go to the altar. He is there, in the Eucharist. 🫶🏼✝️🙏🏼🫓🍷

This is a fantastic article. After reading it I’m considering a few things (as a Catholic-adjacent person who loves traditional liturgy) 1. Is clericalism to blame for trad movements or is it actually anti-clericalism is to blame for allowing this to go on within the church? 🧵

I think it’s important that orthodoxy not be bound to well known atonement theories and we Christians discuss it more broadly. I think a big turning point in my faith was when I discovered the diversity in thought in Christian orthodoxy. Sharing some thoughts below:

One of my favorite gifts to give catechumens and confirmands. I am so thankful that it is still in print and it is still such a cornerstone in my daily life. Fun fact: I owned the St. Augustine’s prayer book before I became an Anglican, I say it led me to the church as an unbeknownst witness. 10/10🔥

I fear the Roman Catholic church in America fell for a gift bag of lies that was presented as pro-life, and pro-family when in the bag was really an idol to mammon, and a sleeping leviathan of white supremacy, xenophobia, and anti-catholicism… and those chickens are coming home to roost.

In your charity please pray for my small but mighty in their worship church today. We are embarking on a Day of Discovery with the Canon to the Ordinary. We are the only truly Anglo-catholic church in practice and theology in the city and we’ve been so since our founding.

Just to be clear, it’s all convos with Satan

This man, Rev. Michael Woolf, wrote this for us earlier this month: "It is up to us to keep our communities safe from this terror, and scripture tells us that God will meet us there—at the picket line, amid the tear gas." sojo.net/articles/opi...

The Lord is righteous in all his ways and loving in all his works. The Lord is near to those who call upon him, to all who call upon him faithfully. Psalm 145:18-19. #DailyPsalm ⚓

I’m watching a Dominican give a lecture on the “Itinerarium Mentis ad Deum” 🙃 St. Bonaventure was after all, friends with St. Thomas Aquinas… so I guess I will let my bias simmer as I try to open my heart… lol

Until we meet again, my friend. Ánágodziih doleel. Journey to the Holy Ones and be happy in the Spirit World my gurl. I love you. Sil n’zhoo. Grief is hard, but I put trust in our Creator for bringing us together and live in the promise we’ll be reunited one day in spirit.

While we can absolutely celebrate the supreme court’s decision to not hear arguments that could nullify a decade of marriages, please be aware they also ruled earlier in the week that the regime can put trans citizens lives at risk when they travel and created a plethora of other issues with

Night of laughter, tears, and stories… there is no word for goodbye it in Apache, just “we’ll see you again.” You bravely walked with us in WMAT parade with the Apache Pride group and you loved it so we got you a bunch of pride flags for your final resting place.

The final four shots have been fired to the East for my dear friend Neulyn “Nunu” Nantan. We sat with her all night… we laughed, cried, and prayed. Today we will bury her with her ancestors, her possessions, and the things Apaches teach she will need in the Spirit World. Love you Nunu. Un’zeek.

Happy feast to likely my favorite philosopher & theologian—muse to my soul. He’s far too unknown and his insight could help change the unhealthy view of God as the vengeful selfish penitentiary warden who needs repayment for sin. Why he is not on TEC’s calendar, I haven’t a clue. It should change.

Fun fact: When I was a young kid I thought this was the KKK symbol because in all the movies they burned crosses. 😅🫣

Another observation about MTG (she lives rent free in my head, thanks algorithm) is that she says she “hasn’t changed” she’s always criticized both Dems & Reps. But… she called sane Rs RINOs, and demanded no compromise. Dems she was convinced were pedos, enter Jew lasers, Pizzagate, QAnon etc.

Did anybody peep the Franciscan tau cross Patti Smith was sporting on Colbert? 🥹🥰 I learned she studied Francis for a bit before performing for Pope Francis…

When I pray the rosary before Mass I often wrap it around my wrist instead of putting it away. When I did it last with my St. Anthony relic rosary I placed it on the Lady shrine at church and left it. It disappeared. So I replaced it. 🥹 He didn’t find my old one but led me to my new one.

Is it a sin that I am concerned and beyond suspicious about MTG’s 180 degree turn against the GOP and her wranglers on “The View” talking about civil discourse when months ago she was being a vitriolic vile person? Trust the Lord or trust my gut instinct that the Lord hath given…. a conundrum. 🤣

As I finish compline, this one really hit tonight… may we never forget… overwhelmed by a good night of fantastic news coming out of various midterms and the NYC mayoral election.

I have thoughts… this is both good, and yes, problematic. As a believer with about as high a Mariology as possible I will try to explain in a series of tweets…

Totally missed this yesterday and I typically try to keep it clean but it’s so good I can’t pass it up. 🤣😇

All Souls at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church was a success. New vestment set is 🔥 Meant to post last night but I’m zonked lately.

Please pray for the repose of Neulyn Nantan who entered into eternity this morning. #AllSouls

“Piè Jesu” by the Schola Cantorum of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, Phoenix I am so thankful to God for bringing me to this beautiful place of misfits and those who cherish and accept the misfits. Thank you Lord for being faithful to me, even when I lose sight of You.

Asking for prayers for Nuelyn Nantan. Currently critical condition. St. Therese, Little Flower, you know the agony of a failing body and not being able to breath, pray for Nunu to our Beloved Savior. Give Nunu hope in Him. St. Anthony, Miracle Worker, beg our Lord for a miracle. 🙏🏼😭

I still think my place is in the pews after subdeaconing the handful of times I’m asked (in a pinch), but here we are… enjoyed Mass today. 🥰 Lord please take away my anxiety and give me a face other than a deer in the headlights (longing for water, whatever)…

I love Julia Greely. She’s not well known but she should be. Julia Greely, pray for us.

Looking for recommendations for not-so-known or obscure saints to learn about. Mtr Samantha said to find one and get acquainted in her sermon this morning. I take homework seriously… 🤓

A Christianity that makes the ultra wealthy and powerful feel safe and supported while making the poor and powerless feel unsafe and unsupported is a Christianity that is following someone other than Jesus.

“Diversity, equity, and inclusion are Christian values.” - my shirt 🤓 Happy All Saints! Off to Mass.

My YouTube knows I have a not-so-secret (loving) contempt for St. Thomas Aquinas, and it’s trolling me… 🤣

Woohoo! 🎉 🥳 Congratulations Padre Santi!

This was a great homily from Fr. Christopher Poore! 🫶🏼

Mass for Sts Simon & Jude

Happy Sunday… ready for church super early somehow. 🥲 Guess I’m real excited for the Eucharist. Go experience the Triune God, who is Love, the Incarnation, healing and saving grace, of He who humbles Himself so much as to hide in a morsel of ordinary bread. Go to Communion! 🥰

Hot Take: If I could bring back anything from the Tridentine Rite/Missal I think it would be the Last Gospel. We often say “We are resurrection [Easter] people.” But I think many forget to pay the homage due to the Incarnation.

🥹 I always love when Santa Maria, the Spanish language congregation who shares our space puts up the ofrenda. 🫶🏼 Pictures will be added soon.

It’s time west coast… #TheAngelus 6 AM, 12 Noon, 6 PM

🫡 Comrade… in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the most Holy Trinity, one God, undivided in essence; co-equal, co-eternal…

Great article on Anglo-Catholicism by Omar Cisneros. "In the Eucharist, we do not recall Christ like a faded photograph; we encounter him. The past is not gone—it is made present." ⚓ livingchurch.org/covenant/cis...

Been cryin’ a lot lately… and I keep thinking I’m “losing it” or I’m just hormonal… but maybe the Lord is blessing me with the gift of tears. Bishop Deon Johnson’s (Episcopal Diocese of MO) prayer…

“We do have this absolute gem of a passage by St. Paul addressing what love really is, we have St. John telling us that God is love, but do we really have any one, single, defining passage defining faith, giving us the background and backbone to persist in the face of seemingly unsurmountable odds?”

Mass this morning for St. Luke, vestry meeting, drove to Navajo Nation to attend the annual Autumn/winter dances (Yei Bii Chei) it’s been a beautiful day. It’s cold. 🥶 But the songs are beautiful. They tell of the cosmos, creation, humans, animals, seasons, plants and relationship with this guy 👇🏼
