Happy Feast of St. Mary Magdalene! Remember that in the time between when the Risen Christ appeared to her at the Tomb, and when she announced the news of the Resurrection to the disciples, Mary Madgalene was, in a sense, the church on earth.

Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington, offers words of welcome and comfort to LGBTQ Catholics at the Outreach conference at Georgetown University last weekend. For many it was the most powerful part of the weekend.

Beautiful photo of Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington, celebrating Mass for the Outreach 2026 conference at Georgetown this weekend. His warm and gracious homily, addressed to LGBTQ Catholics, is posted here: outreach.faith/2026/06/card...

As the wonderful Outreach 2026 weekend ends, we want to say a special thanks to our two keynoters, Kerry Robinson and James F. Keenan, SJ; and the presider at our Sunday Vigil Mass, Cardinal Robert McElroy.

News: Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington, celebrated Mass for 500 participants (some pictured here) at the Outreach conference for LGBTQ Catholics at Georgetown today. We will post his homily, which moved many in the congregation to tears, later. We are so grateful to His Eminence.

Grateful for the messages of welcome and support for the Outreach 2026 LGBTQ Catholic ministry conference, from Cardinal Robert McElroy, Cardinal Blase Cupich and incoming Georgetown President Eduardo Peñalver.

Outreach 2026 begins tomorrow at @georgetownuni.bsky.social with over 450 people gathering to pray, build community and discuss ministry with LGBTQ Catholics. We're honored to have Cardinal McElroy celebrating Mass for us. Please pray for us! More here: outreach.faith/conference-o...

Sojourners asked me to write a prayer for our nation's 250th anniversary.

For Jesus, sin is often a failure to bother to love. As I mentioned in the podcast with Hasan Minhaj, this insight is from the moral theologian James Keenan, SJ.

In case you missed it, here is the recording of a fun evening at the Bethany Center, talking about what they called "Meadow Moments" (I really like that phrase) a few nights ago. The larger discussion is about my book "Work in Progress." Hope you enjoy it! drive.google.com/file/d/1k-fm...

Congratulations to Maria Montserrat Alvarado, who has just been named by the Holy Father as the new Prefect of the Dicastery for Communication, succeeding Paolo Ruffini.

Dear friends: My new memoir, "Work in Progress," about finding work in a variety of crazy summer jobs and, then, finding God, is available on audiobook. Here's an excerpt, on the Jesuit saying "Compare and despair." "Work in Progress" on Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/0KL1ZMW...

Happy Mothers Day! Here is a reflection I wrote for the May edition of @giveusthisdaylp.bsky.social: The same thing happens every year on the Sunday of Mother’s Day. I wonder if I should offer, as some parishes do, a blessing for the mothers in the congregation.

One of the most time-consuming but ultimately rewarding parts of writing a book is recording the audio book. Believe it or not, it's a lot of work!

One year ago today, the Holy Spirit gave us the gift of Pope Leo XIV. Let us all pray today that the Holy Father will continue to be guided by that same Holy Spirit. Ad multos annos!

"If you want to follow Jesus, you better look good on wood." Daniel Berrigan, SJ, died ten years ago today.

Thanks to Georgetown University's Campus Ministry, the Office of Mission and Ministry and Holy Trinity Parish, for inviting me to beautiful Dahlgren Chapel to speak about my book "Work in Progress." Thanks also to the students and parishioners who waited in line for a book. Hoya Saxa!

As Alessandro Gisotti of Vatican News wrote: "A Good Samaritan on the Chair of Peter." Pope Leo XIV visits St. Paul Hospital, in Douala, Cameroon, today.

I doubt that Pope Leo XIV will lose any sleep over this, before he begins his pilgrimage to Africa tomorrow. But the rest of us should. Because it is unhinged, uncharitable and unchristian. Is there no bottom to this moral squalor?
