Happy All Saints Day.

As the sun sets on All Saints Day, share the saint name you chose for your confirmation. I’ll start: I really wanted to pick Sebastian because of all the pictures of him hanging on a tree with arrows in his chest, but I ended up with the more appropriate St. Cecelia, patron saint of music 🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️

On All Saints Day, I'll remember you, your personal intentions and world peace at St Anthony's Tomb. I’ll remember you again this afternoon during the Holy Mass I'll celebrate in the Basilica. Blessings to you and your loved ones from St Anthony's Basilica 🤗

Condolences to our friends at Whisky Advocate. May Marvin's memory be a blessing...
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Marvin R. Shanken, founder of M. Shanken Communications and a visionary whose influence on the worlds of wine, cigars and publishing was immeasurable.

Easily in my top 5 U2 songs.
It’s absolutely incredible
U2. Gone: Pop Mart Tour, Mexico, 1997.
I think this song speaks of a new dawn, a new opportunity, and hope when an era ends #U2

Stan Musial finished with 3,630 hits, exactly 1,815 at home and 1,815 on the road, and he plays first on this Cardinals all time lineup.
Bob Gibson starts and Tony La Russa manages.
Does Albert Pujols belong at DH, or at first ahead of Musial?

#OTD 2011 - Before a frenzied standing-room only crowd at Busch Stadium, the Cardinals win their 11th World Series Championship.
The Rangers scored twice in the first inning and fans were worried that the game 6 heroics didn't carry over.
But "that man" was still lurking - David Freese tied the game at 2 with a two-run double in the bottom of the first and Allen Craig's third inning one-run homer put the Cardinals ahead for good.
Chris Carpenter settled down to pitch 6 strong innings. Arthur Rhodes, Octavio Dotel and Lance Lynn followed Carp on the mound to keep the Rangers off the scoreboard.
Jason Motte then gets the Rangers 1-2-3 in the ninth inning to close it out.
⚾️ Final score, 6-2
🏆 David Freese was named the MVP

If you are not Catholic, I absolutely, positively, unapologetically want you to convert to Catholicism.
I would be a monster if I didn’t want you to receive the greatest possible gift one can receive.

I don’t take liberal (cafeteria) Catholics seriously, and neither should you. It doesn’t matter if they’re wearing a collar or a habit. If they can’t take Catholicism seriously, why should I take them seriously?
