And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge, but have no love, I gain nothing. You know, we are in the age of information. We want to know everything. Knowledge is good, but if you gain this knowledge and you don’t have love, it means nothing because our hearts are made for the Lord. Know that…
If I speak in the tongues of men, and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong, or a clashing symbol. This sounds old, ancient, but it is new. You have heard people who speak very nicely, some may say, oh, this person is speaking like an angel. But eventually, you notice that that person has grudges, that person has hatred…
There is no denying that there can be many circumstances to dismiss fatherhood, both from our earthly and our Heavenly Father. But despite what we’ve experienced, God is your Father and my Father who intently listens and cares for us — a Father who delights in his…
Let’s talk about Thanos. Thanos is not a good guy. He basically destroys half of the universe. He has so many opportunities to change his heart, but his heart is so hardened that he is not able to. And that’s the downfall of Thanos, that his heart is so hardened that he can’t have a conversion. In the gospel for this Sunday…
Being in relationship with God looks like we’re sitting down in front of a big table with Him, and what a deeper conversion and deeper healing means is that we are willing to be at this table and we are willing to lay out everything here for the Lord to see. He sits us down…
Maybe or maybe not you have a friend like this, someone who is so good at giving grand gestures, someone who really knows how to show you a good time. But that person then, like, ghosts you for two weeks straight. If we don’t have consistency in a friendship, then it just feels empty. And here is what Jesus is saying in this…
When we were kids, we were usually amazed and awed about something that was new, grand or magnificent, but as we grew older we became more indifferent towards those things. As Christians and Catholics, we are in love and fascinated with Jesus. But as we’ve…
Saint Ignatius of Loyola. He is a rockstar saint. He popularized something that is called imaginative prayer. We use our imagination to pray because God created our imagination to speak to us. That’s incredible! This Sunday’s Gospel is absolutely beautiful. It’s the Prodigal Son. Prodigal Son leaves the Father’s house, but he’s…
Life and circumstances are undeniably hard, but we are not alone in this. The beautiful reality is that even when we leave prayer and go into the world, we may leave God but He never does. God is still always with us — within us. Knowing that the Lord is dwelling…
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Finally the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. What does that really mean? When Jesus says that we’re gonna know him, we’re gonna see him, and that he’s gonna be with us always, how does he come? He comes to poverty, waiting in the poor, maybe in the…
