Spy Wednesday (Holy Week Retreat)
What’s the difference between Judas and Peter if both betrayed Jesus?
On this Spy Wednesday reflection, Father Tim dives into one of the most powerful and personal moments of Holy Week. Both Judas and Peter failed. Both said no to Jesus. But their stories end very differently.
Judas turned inward, letting resentment grow and pulling away from Jesus. Peter, on the other hand, looked up. In the moment of his failure, he locked eyes with Jesus, and that changed everything.
This Holy Week, the question isn’t if you’ve failed. It’s where you’re looking now. Because it’s in the presence of Jesus that we find healing, mercy, and who we truly are.

Why Do Catholics Genuflect?
Why do Catholics get down on one knee when they enter the church? It’s more than a ritual. More than tradition. It’s a response to Love. Father Tim reveals how genuflecting began, why it sets Christianity apart, and how bending the knee reminds us: Jesus is greater than myself, and He has already given His heart to me. Whether it’s in church, in marriage, or in moments of awe, kneeling is our way of saying: I give my heart in love and adoration.

Why Do Catholics Worship Mary?
Catholics don’t worship Mary, but they do pray with her. Why? In this Ask A Priest episode, Father Edward walks through what the Church actually teaches about Mary, her role as intercessor, Queen Mother, and model of prayer. Far from distracting us from Christ, devotion to Mary always leads us closer to Him. If you’ve ever struggled with Marian devotion, this conversation is an invitation to see it with fresh eyes.
