It was one of the greatest honors of my life to represent the Diocese of Tulsa as a deacon today for Pope Leo XIV at the Sunday mass for Jubilee of Families, Children, Grandparents, and The Elderly.
Beautiful words on family life from Pope Leo XIV's Homily:
"...Today’s world needs the marriage covenant in order to know and accept God’s love and to defeat, thanks to its unifying and reconciling power, the forces that break down relationships and societies.
For this reason, with a heart filled with gratitude and hope, I would remind all married couples that marriage is not an ideal but the measure of true love between a man and a woman: a love that is total, faithful and fruitful. This love makes you one flesh and enables you, in the image of God, to bestow the gift of life..."
I greeted the Holy Father before mass on behalf of the whole @DioceseofTulsa, and shared with him that we are all praying for him and his ministry.
He asked if I went to Cascia Hall... "No Your Holiness, I went to the other Catholic high school in the Diocese..." "What was that one called again?" he asked me...I said "Bishop Kelley High School" "right, Bishop Kelley."

We're not okay! We need Jesus. He asks for a personal commitment in our lives. No one else can make that decision except you.
Join us for Holy Mass this weekend as we celebrate the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Oh Happy Day! On November 5, 1983, Mick & Donna Hewson were the first couple married at the newly dedicated @SaintBensChurch. 40 years to the day later they renewed their marriage vows at the same church with son, Fr. Shane Hewson, presiding at the Mass.

Before priests become priests, they are ordained as a deacon.
17 years ago today, I was ordained a deacon for the Diocese of Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma. It took place at Saint Meinrad Archabbey where I went to seminary. It was a beautiful day!

What is the difference between singing the Mass and singing at Mass? That's the subject of this week's "Pastors of Payne" podcast.
A key line comes from a recent pastoral letter by Bishop Carl Kemme in the @WichitaDiocese
"Rather than entering into a discussion about which hymns may or may not be appropriate for use in the Mass—a subjective judgment that too often relies on personal taste and preference—my humble guidance is to turn our attention toward the texts of the Mass, which the Church herself invites us to sing."
Here's the whole letter:
