Man, I’m pumped. Today is the Solemnity of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. Sounds like something from Dr. Strange. And then in the Gospel today, the good thief says, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” That we have a kingdom, that we have a king. We don’t have a king that wears a golden…
Love is not jealous. We are all made unique with our different talents. We should appreciate these talents that God has given us and thank him for these gifts. Don’t hide it. You will remember the one in the Bible who went and hid his own talent. The Lord was not happy, not because he didn’t bring any fruits, more like others who brought…
Sometimes, we may feel that we are only able do the little things — that what we do is insignificant. Things may seem so small, but in reality no matter how little or insignificant something may seem, nothing is little. It’s because God makes them and because He makes them, they are great and infinite in value…

Have you ever been at Mass and your eyes glaze over during the Creed? Well, don’t do that anymore. Especially the last part. I believe in the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, resurrection of the body. That is what the gospel is about. Today, Jesus is saying that our bodies will rise just…
I’m always in a hurry. And I once saw a sign that says, “God, give me patience. For I am in a hurry.” Love is patience. God is love. So God is patience waiting for us. Despite our idiosyncrasies, our stubbornness, He waits patiently. We are to continue to have patience with one another. Even some of us, when we are driving and…
As we mentioned on our previous episode, we need to be in this place where we are able to both worship and adore Jesus and at the same time be in relationship with Him and our neighbor with compassion and warmth. This episode talks about an exceptional example of…
Zacchaeus, who is a tax collector. He is a sinner, he is not a good guy at all. He invites Jesus into his home, and Zacchaeus is changed forever.
