A night of reflection, faith, and a deeper love for the Rosary! 🙏🏼

@keithnester1 walked us through each mystery of the Rosary, helping us envision every moment in a way that opened our eyes and hearts to its deeper meaning. We were reminded that we must trust in God’s will, carry our crosses, and continue moving forward just as Jesus did.

Our Blessed Virgin Mary is a beautiful example of obedience and surrender to God’s plan. Through her intercession, we are reminded to trust Him even when the path is not easy.

A huge thank you to Keith Nester for returning to speak at one of our parishes! It was such a blessing to see so many young adults come together to grow in their faith🙌🏼

May God continue to guide each of you, strengthen your faith, and give you the grace to persevere in your journey with Christ. 🤍

My 26 week old nephew in the womb needs our prayers. He is the child of my wife’s little sister Sophia and her husband Tyler.

The doctors believe my sister-in-law will have a stillbirth in the next 3 weeks. They don’t have a definitive diagnosis. Their baby has a severe growth restriction, which slows down even more every time they check his growth. This is the reason they believe he will be stillborn.

He is currently much too small and underdeveloped to survive outside the womb. He had signs of a genetic disorder with his position and lack of movement.

Normally, a growth restriction is caused by placenta/umbilical cord issues or genetic disorders. In their case, they don’t know what the reason is. The specialist seems to believe that it is genetic but they won’t be certain until the baby is born.

Their baby boy is measuring around 18 weeks.

We are seeking a miracle through the intercession of Venerable Mother Maria Luisa Josefa of the Most Blessed Sacrament, also known as Mother Luisita. I had the privilege of visiting her USA convent recently in Alhambra, CA.

Mother Luisita is the founder of the Carmelite Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Los Angeles. She was married for 14 years and joined religious life after her husband passed away. They were unable to have children.

See the slides and prayer to Mother.

Please join us in praying for a miracle for my nephew!!

Thank you from the depths of my heart and God bless!

CORRECTION ISSUED:
Yesterday, on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, Fr. Brent Bowman had a profound encounter at St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Church in Hopkins, MN during the school Mass. Fr. Brent is the chaplain of Chesterton Academy.

I was told today by a friend whose grandchildren attended the Mass that Fr. Brent witnessed the wine change to blood. Hence the title says "possible" Eucharistic miracle.

After I shared this reel, I was given an update that Fr. Brent did not see the consecrated wine change appearance or taste according to the pastor, Fr. Paul Haverstock.

Instead, Fr. Brent was given a particular grace by the Lord. He received "experiential knowledge of knowing on a deeper level that truly Christ's blood was shed for us and that its weight is profound" according to Fr. Paul. Hence Fr. Brent had difficulty lifting the chalice.

My apologies if the title is misleading-Instagram won’t let me revise it.

Regardless, it is true that a Miracle happens at every Mass. The Miracle of the Consecrated Host and Wine becoming the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ.

A different friend Mary Beth’s brother, Fr. James Brooks, once saw Jesus on the Cross when he celebrated his last Mass before dying of cancer. I shared that in an old post.

Never forget that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass makes Calvary present in time. They are one single sacrifice.

May we never doubt that Jesus is truly present in the Holy Eucharist.

Would that we, too, shed tears over how much Jesus suffered for us, especially at Mass.

May we offer prayers and reparation for sins committed against God.

You can watch the entire Mass on YouTube at St. Gabriel the Archangel-Hopkins and you can see the updated statement from 9/15/2026 homily by Fr. Paul Haverstock.

Also, as of 9/16/2026, Fr. Brent Bowman released a statement for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis explaining his experience further.

Mother Teresa and Fulton Sheen. Two spiritual powerhouses. Two lives spent for souls.

They were loved, criticized, controversial, and unafraid.

They confronted communism and materialism. Defended the unborn. Served the forgotten. Neither built a life around being liked.
And they knew one another.

In 1964, before Mother Teresa became a global icon, Sheen spent two hours with her and called her “a truly wonderful and saintly lady.”

They prayed the Rosary together. Mother Teresa loved Sheen’s Life of Christ, reportedly carried it with her, and assigned it to her sisters for Lenten reading.

They also shared a secret:
The daily Eucharistic Holy Hour.

Sheen credited the fruitfulness of his priesthood to it. Mother Teresa said that after her community began a daily Holy Hour, vocations doubled.

By her death, nearly 4,000 Missionaries of Charity were serving in 123 countries.

And Sheen had his own unforgettable encounter with leprosy.

He entered an African leper colony carrying 500 crucifixes. When the first man extended a disease-ravaged hand, Sheen recoiled and dropped the crucifix into it rather than touch him.
Immediately convicted, he realized there were now 501 lepers in that colony — and he was the 501st.

He reached into the man’s hand, retrieved the cross, pressed it back into his palm, and went on to touch the others.

He said he learned to love “by touch, by the incarnational principle.”

That was Mother Teresa too.

Not loving humanity from a distance.

Touching the wound. Entering the suffering. Seeing Christ in the one the world recoils from.
For both of them, it came down to souls.

Mother Teresa stood before the world and called abortion the “greatest destroyer of peace.” Sheen spent hours personally instructing one soul at a time.

This is sanctity.

Surrender. Courage. Prayer. Sacrifice. Souls.

St. Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us.

Soon-to-be Blessed Fulton Sheen, pray for us.

Many are only now jumping on the Fulton Sheen bandwagon, but Sheen has been quietly transforming souls for decades.

His sanctity precedes this moment.

There will be some who show up for the excitement and then let him fade from memory.

There will be others who try to choke out his witness with criticism, saying he was too much of this or too little of that.

Still others will simply let Sheen pass them by.

But there will also be those who recognize this moment for what it is: an invitation.

They will investigate. They will read. They will listen. They will dive deeply into his works, his words, his witness…his wounds.

And there they will discover not only a great saint, but a master of the spiritual life. A spiritual father capable of guiding souls through the turbulent waters of the modern world.

For Sheen, everything came down to souls.

And if reaching souls meant adopting new methods of evangelization, entering new mediums, or finding new ways to communicate eternal truths, he was willing to detach himself from his own preferences, aesthetics, and comforts for the sake of the individual soul before him.

Are we willing to do the same?

Are we willing to encounter the wounded people in our lives with compassion, patience, and a heartfelt consideration of how best to reach that particular soul?

Or will we continue lumping people into masses, categories, camps, and theories, speaking about them from a distance instead of loving them up close?

Sheen did not evangelize abstractions. He evangelized souls.

So let us get down on our knees before God, and then get our hands dirty in the work of love.

For the sake of souls.
For the glory of the King.

This conversation has been a long time coming.
Dr. Peter Howard recently joined Chris Stefanick for a deeply personal conversation about Fulton Sheen, and Peter shares vulnerably about his own transformation through Sheen’s life, teaching, and spiritual vision, and why becoming one of Sheen’s leading champions has become a mission of his life.

Listen to every minute. You will come away edified, challenged, and with a much deeper sense of why Fulton Sheen matters so urgently right now.

And then RUN to register for the Fulton Sheen Pilgrimage. Only 10 spots remain.
Dr. Peter Howard, Fr. Thomas Loya, Bishop Joseph Coffey, and Chris Stefanick will help lead what may be the most complete Fulton Sheen pilgrimage experience you could possibly have, taking you directly into the places, spirituality, history, and mission of the man who is about to be beatified.

Your pilgrimage experience also includes the Fulton Sheen: America’s Saint Conference on September 23 and the Beatification of Fulton Sheen on September 24.

This is history. Don’t watch it pass by from a distance. Come live it with us.
