1. About 90 percent of my articles these days have been about the double canonizations of Popes John Paul II and John XXIII this Sunday, April 27. Fun stuff. One of the things I have been trying to ask everyone I interview is, "how have these soon-to-be saints, and their upcoming canonizations, influenced your life?" Most of peoples' responses are quite inspiring.
Today I realized how this canonization stuff has influenced *my* life for the better. For the first time, I can now spell (and pronounce) "Karol Wojtyla" correctly without resorting to Google or a nearby prayer card or a stylebook.
Well played, JPII, well played; you knew you'd get me spelling your name right one day. I should have been keeping track of how many times I've written/typed "Karol Wojtyla" this week alone.

| Therefore fully deserving of such an image parallel. (Don't think too much into this. I didn't.) |
2. Check this out. And/or this.
It's a good cause; young people helping young people is one of the real ways society is going to make any progress at all; and now that Lent is over, you're probably looking for ways to give during this season of Easter anyway, right?
Because we all know the end of Lent doesn't signify the end of giving.
