"Games matter in the same mysterious way that music, literature, and film does: because we love them, we refuse to live without them, we weave them into our lives and sometimes build our lives around them. Games are beautiful." Frank Lantz, in The Beauty of Games

The Blessed Virgin Mary, assumed into the glory of heaven, is a sign of hope and consolation for the entire People of God. For this reason, I wish to invoke her maternal intercession today on behalf of those communities that are in particular need of consolation and of renewed hope. My thoughts go out to our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land, which is also, par excellence, the Land of Mary. My thoughts also go out to the Ukrainian and Russian peoples, both of whom are united by their filial devotion to the Holy Mother of God, and to Christians who suffer discrimination or even persecution.

I don’t know where it went or why it went away the way it did, and that’s something I have to figure out. But man, in the last couple of years I have completely rediscovered my love for teaching. And it’s wonderful.

I’m writing a book about optimism and the hardest part of this process for me has been my ongoing struggle to fucking spell word optimism correctly
