I entered at the same time. Over the last 24 years - more than half my life - I’ve learned

1. No one will be a saint for me. Only I can cooperate with grace.
2. God has not put me in a position to reform the Church, so it’s best to not dwell on an alternate reality where he has. 3. God HAS placed me in a context where I can be effective in helping others to become saints. I can’t change the world, but I can help change the world around me.
4. God is Pure Act. Satan has a vested interest in inaction, side-quests, and endless debate.

Here's a photo of what is affectionately called the "Reitz Chalice", owned by my diocese. The stones were gifted from Josephine Reitz upon her death about a hundred years ago. The stones alone were valued at $100k when the chalice was finished in 1930. It's stored at a "secure location" now and sees use every few years. We have to pay an arm and a leg for them to bring it in a Brinks truck while dudes with AR-15s provide security.
