This is Fr Dominic Rankin running the Boston Marathon at about mile 25.5 just before turning onto Boylston St. and the finish line. Looking strong at the end! He finished in 3:02 with a pace of 6:57. I know how hard it is to do that, so I am very proud of him! Congratulations!
Greetings from Boston with Father Dominic Rankin as he runs the Boston Marathon today. I gave him my blessing before the race and will cheer him on at the finish line, bringing back memories of when I ran it here 26 years ago. He's looking strong! All in Christ for Pro-Life!
Nigeria has material poverty, but great spiritual wealth. The joy and smiles of the people, despite their hardships, were readily apparent on my trip. We Americans would do well to learn from their example of finding happiness not in material possessions, but in faith and family.
Taking our Eucharistic Congress national! It was great to discuss our historic Oct. 28 event in Springfield (get your free tickets now at dio.org) on Relevant Radio's Morning Drive today (32:20): tinyurl.com/v26upvuf #Eucharist Take a listen!
What a visit to this historic and beautiful Perpetual Adoration chapel in Germany at the Motherhouse of Sisters the St. Francis of the Martyr St. George. Adoration has gone on here perpetually since before WWI - over 100 years. #FSGM #Vocations #religious #Germany

Please join me in praying for those affected by the tornadoes that went through our diocese on Friday. In Crawford County, three people died. Please pray for the repose of their souls and the comfort of their families.
One of my favorite things as Bishop is visiting our schools and interacting with students. Their enthusiasm for life and joy for our faith is so uplifting. I received this photo from St. Anthony School in Effingham today (during my Catholic Schools Week visit). #CatholicSchools
Twenty years ago today, January 24, 2003, I was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago by Pope John Paul II on the feast day of St. Francis de Sales. His Introduction to the Devout Life is a classic work that still has much to say to us today. St. Francis de Sales, pray for us!
Join me tomorrow (Thursday) at 1 pm for a roundtable discussion with TAN Books about Saints For Our Times And Saints In 2023! We must all strive to become saints, like St. Gianna! Click the link below to listen. streamyard.com/watch/gDzafJq7…
Pope Benedict's steadfast defense of our faith’s teachings and traditions and remaining faithful to them, despite the pressures of the secular world and from inside the Church, is the mark of a true leader. Read my full statement here: go.dio.org/v1g
Please join me in praying for the repose of the soul of Pope Benedict XVI. We give God thanks for his service and faithfulness to the Church.
