What Is The Trinity?
Have you ever looked at your past and wondered, “Could God still use someone like me?”
In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim answers one of the most human questions of faith: what if my past is too messy for God? Looking at figures like David, Moses, Abraham, Peter, and Mary Magdalene, he reminds us that God has always worked through flawed people, not because of their sins, but because they had faith and let God be God.
Your past doesn’t scare Jesus. Your weakness doesn’t disqualify you. God only has flawed instruments to work with, and He can still use your life to build something holy.
You are not too far gone.
You are not too broken.
You are still called to be a saint.

Is a Priestly Blessing Magic?
When a priest gives a blessing, is it just a nice prayer or is something more happening?
In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim explains what a priestly blessing really is, and why it’s not magic, but also not merely symbolic. A priestly blessing is Jesus’ love, grace, and power given through the priesthood He established.
From blessing people at Mass to blessing rosaries, water, and other sacred objects, the priest acts through the authority of the Church as an instrument of Christ. Father Tim also answers a practical question many Catholics wonder about: should people in the pews raise their hands when the priest gives a blessing?
We can all pray for blessings. We can all ask God to bless our family, friends, and neighbors. But a priestly blessing is unique because it comes through the ministerial priesthood—Jesus using His priests to bless, sanctify, and draw His people closer to Himself.
How Did the Good Thief Go Straight to Heaven?
How could the “good thief” live a sinful life and still go straight to Heaven?
In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim answers a powerful question about St. Dismas, the thief crucified next to Jesus, and what his story reveals about repentance, mercy, and salvation.
Was there no “purgatory” for him? Was it really that simple?
The answer points to something deeper. Salvation isn’t about how long you’ve been good. It’s about the depth of your love and surrender to Jesus. In his final moments, the good thief makes a complete, humble, and public turn toward Christ, and Jesus responds with mercy. This episode is a powerful reminder that Jesus isn’t limited like we are, and His mercy is bigger than we can imagine.
It’s never too late to turn to Him. But it’s not about fear, it’s about love.
Did Jesus Celebrate Passover Before He Died?
Did Jesus celebrate Passover before He died? And what really happened to the people who rose from the dead at the Crucifixion?
In this Ask A Priest episode, Father Tim tackles two fascinating and often overlooked questions from Scripture. Drawing from Pope Benedict XVI and the Gospel of John, he explains how Jesus anticipated the Passover meal, and how His death perfectly aligns with the sacrifice of the Passover lamb.
He also dives into one of the most mysterious moments in the Bible: the dead rising when Jesus died. Did they return to their families or rise to eternal life with Him?
If you’ve ever had questions about these powerful moments in the Gospel, this episode brings clarity, depth, and wonder to the story of salvation.
Can You Receive Communion with Mortal Sin?
Should you receive Communion if you’re not sure you’re in mortal sin?
This question has confused a lot of people, and for good reason. In this episode, Father Tim clears up the tension between two things we often hear: “never let sin keep you from Communion” and “never receive in mortal sin.”
The Church teaches that the Eucharist is medicine for the sick—but not for the spiritually dead. Mortal sin is serious: it involves grave matter, full knowledge, and full consent, and it breaks our relationship with God. That’s why we’re invited to go to Confession before receiving Communion again.
But there’s also real encouragement here. If you’re unsure, if you’re trying to follow God, if your heart is seeking Him, Jesus meets you there. And if you’re in a place where you choose not to receive yet, that act of reverence and honesty matters more than you think.
The Eucharist is powerful. So we approach it with both hunger and honesty.
Wherever you are right now, God’s mercy is ready for you.
Is There Salvation Outside Of The Church?
Do you have to be Catholic to go to Heaven?
This is one of the most honest and sometimes difficult questions people ask, especially when it involves loved ones who’ve walked away from the Church. In this episode, Father Tim unpacks the meaning behind the phrase “no salvation outside the Church” and what it really means in light of Jesus.
At the center of it all is a simple truth: Jesus is the bridge. He is the one door to Heaven. But God’s mercy is bigger than we often imagine. Drawing from The Last Battle by C. S. Lewis, this episode explores how every act of goodness, truth, and love ultimately leads back to Him, even when someone doesn’t fully realize it.
Salvation comes through Jesus alone. But His grace is at work in more hearts than we can see.
If you’ve ever worried about someone you love, this conversation is filled with both truth and real hope.
Should I Go to a Catholic Wedding Outside the Church?
What do you do when someone you love is Catholic, but isn’t getting married in the Church?
This is not just a “Catholic rules” question. It’s your son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter, or someone you deeply love. In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim offers a compassionate way to discern whether or not to attend a wedding outside the Church.
Instead of falling into cold legalism or moral indifference, he invites us to look at the situation through the heart of Jesus. Are you upholding the Catholic truth of marriage? Are you causing scandal? Are you creating more unity or more division?
There may not always be a simple yes or no answer, but there is always a way to stay close to Jesus, speak truth with love, and trust that He never abandons the people we love.
