Have you ever tried to understand the Trinity… and felt like your brain just hit a wall?
In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim reflects on Rublev’s famous Trinity icon as a way to enter more deeply into the mystery of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While we can never fully explain the Trinity, this image helps us see the heart of God: the Father who welcomes us home, the Son who gives Himself as the sacrifice, and the Holy Spirit who gives us life.
At the center of the icon is an altar, a chalice, and the image of sacrifice, pointing us to Jesus, the Eucharist, and the love poured out for us. But one of the most beautiful details is the open space at the table.
The Trinity is not just a mystery to solve.
It is a relationship we are invited into.
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are waiting for you at the table.

Easter Sunday (Holy Week Retreat)
On this Easter reflection, Father Tim shares why the Resurrection isn’t just meaningful, it’s everything. From the Greek phrase “Christos Anesti” (“Christ is risen”) to a personal story about discovering the meaning behind his own name, this episode points to one powerful truth: the Resurrection proves that Jesus is real and that He keeps His promises.
Standing at the empty tomb in the Holy Land, the reality becomes clear. Everything we believe, everything we hope for, rests on this moment. If Jesus rose from the dead, then death is defeated, and new life is possible for all of us.
The Resurrection isn’t symbolic. It’s the foundation of everything. This Easter, don’t just celebrate it, live like it’s true.

Is Catholic Guilt Bad?
Have you ever made a mistake and then started thinking you are the mistake? In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim breaks down the difference between good Catholic guilt and bad Catholic guilt. Good guilt says, “I did something wrong”, like a check-engine light that moves you toward mercy, healing, and confession. Bad guilt says, “I am wrong,” and that’s not guilt anymore, that’s shame. From Adam and Eve hiding in Genesis to the Father who always comes looking for us, this is a reminder that your identity is not your sin. Jesus is always running toward you. You just have to turn around and run back.
