The season is well underway, and as baseball fans know, unpredictability is part of the game’s appeal. After all, there’s a reason why the phrase “you can’t predict baseball” has endured for so long.
Still on Cloud 9 from their first World Cup win in 36 years, Scottish football fans wearing kilts continued their celebration by marching through the streets of Boston and descending upon MLB’s oldest ballpark.
Defense has always been Dillon Dingler’s strength behind the plate, and now his skills with the lumber have turned him into an extremely potent batter.

Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I was in the car for the first half of the Spurs-Knicks game on Saturday, but that meant I got to hear Clyde Frazier join the home radio crew in the booth for the second quarter, which made it all worth it. I wish Clyde could have been on the call with Mike Breen as the Knicks clinched.

The Hurricanes are Stanley Cup champions for the first time in 20 years.
Carolina defeated the Golden Knights in Vegas on Sunday night, 3–0, to claim its second title and first since 2006.
“That’s a lot of years,” Canes veteran Jordan Staal said. “It’s amazing. This is something I’ve been going after ever since I got the first one. You want to win it again and again and again. What a feeling, what a battle. The boys were grinding today, my goodness. So many individual efforts just to keep the puck out of our net. It was an amazing ride. I’m just so proud of these guys.”
There are so many fascinating narratives surrounding the Canes’ win. Franchise icon Rod Brind’Amour lifted the Cup for the second time, this time as coach after captaining the team on the ice during its run two decades ago. The 37-year-old Staal won the Conn Smythe Trophy (the playoff MVP), becoming the oldest player ever to do so. Staal won the Cup in 2009 with the Penguins, too, making his 17-year wait for another championship the longest gap between titles for any player in NHL history. The Canes’ win is also just the second major men’s pro sports championship for a team from North Carolina. (The NWSL’s North Carolina Courage won back-to-back titles in 2018 and ’19.)

… things I saw yesterday:
5. All the Scottish fans at Fenway Park, the day after Scotland’s 1–0 win over Haiti in Foxborough.
4. Bobby Witt Jr.’s diving catch at shortstop.
3. Livano Comenencia’s goal for Curaçaoagainst Germany. Germany won, 7–1, but it’s still amazing that tiny Curaçao, which has a population of just 155,000 (about the size of Springfield, Mass.) scored against one of the best teams in the world.
2. Koki Ogawa’s powerful header on Japan’s late equalizer against the Netherlands. (The goal was officially credited to Daichi Kamada, who had the ball deflect off his head by pure happenstance.)
1. All 23 runs the Rockies scored against the A’s. Incredibly, this game was not at Coors Field. The offensive explosion occurred in Sacramento, which is just 26 feet above sea level.

(12) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
King James Version Change email Bible version
As the apostle Paul begins his first letter to the Corinthians, knowing that he is writing to a congregation divided among various factions, he patiently explains to them what makes them different from those in the worldyet at the same time unites the members of the church. He, of course, refers to God’s Holy Spirit, given to all Christians at conversion by the laying on of hands. The apostle John calls it “the anointing which you have received from Him” (I John 2:27), implying that Christians have been ordained, and thus set apart or sanctified, to a task or office that others have not been given.
This sets up a dichotomy. On the one side are Christians who have freely received God’s Spirit, and on the other are all other human beings who, Paul says, have received “the spirit of the world” (see also Ephesians 2:2). Thus, there is a clash of spirits, a collision of motivating forces, at work between the Christian and the world. The apostle writes in Galatians 5 that the two spirits are diametrically opposed, one producing “the works of the flesh,” while the other bears “the fruit of the Spirit” (verses 16-25). In fact, he declares in Romans 8:7, “The carnal mind is enmity against God“; the worldly person, imbibing of the spirit of this world, lives in hostility to God and cannot do what God commands.
The Spirit from God, though, removes the human hostility and allows the Christian to know—that is, realize, understand, and use—the gracious gifts of God. These gifts are predominantly spiritual blessings rather than physical ones. Jesus advises His disciples not to worry about food, drink, and clothing because God knows that physical human beings need such things to live (Matthew 6:25-32). Instead, He says, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (verse 33). The Christian’s mind is to be focused on God’s goal and godly things that will propel him along the way there, and he can do this only by the many gifts bestowed through God’s Spirit.
Paul’s focus in this passage seems to be on knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. Earlier, he had mentioned that God has chosen to spread the gospel message through preaching, which the worldly Greeks considered “foolishness” (I Corinthians 1:23). Yet, this only exposes the fact that the Greeks did not have the ability to understand spiritual matters, and God would ultimately confound them in their “wisdom” through weak and foolish people preaching a “foolish” message of a crucified Savior. The difference is that those weak and foolish people possess a Spirit that comes directly from the Creator God that allows them to know the truth in all its divine splendor.
Thus, in terms of the apostle’s overall goal in persuading the Corinthians that they should “be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment” (I Corinthians 1:10), he emphasizes that they have this one commonality, God’s Holy Spirit, that makes all the difference to them as individuals and as a congregation. So, as he goes on to say, there is no reason for them to be so judgmental one against the other, for they all “have the mind of Christ” (I Corinthians 2:16). Having one mind and being all in one Body of Christ, as he later discusses (I Corinthians 12:12-27), dividing themselves into cliques is both counterproductive and contrary to God’s purpose.

Today’s Night Prayer is brought to you by LifeQuotes
Jesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen.
“I know not how to praise Thy mercy and Thy love; But deign my soul from earth to raise And learn from Thee above.” -St. Joseph the Hymnographer
Let us acknowledge humbly that our natural tendency is to be too attached to our activities, to allow ourselves to be carried away by them till they fill our minds entirely. This won’t change until we acquire the wise habit of abandoning all activities, even the most urgent and important ones, in order to give time freely to God.

Decade Rosary Popper Key Chain
The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition.
Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.
It is God’s love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day.
Remember: our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him.
In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for Thou alone, O Lord, makest me dwell in safety. — Psalm 4:8
