Dr. John Watson. If you know anything about Sherlock, Dr. John Watson is the person who really grounds Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock is kind of crazy. He’s over the top. He’s unhinged. Dr. John Watson roots him and grounds him, keeping him rooted in reality. And not only that, but Watson speaks truths to Sherlock, revealing to him where he is wrong and where he needs to grow. In the gospel, this is precisely what Jesus is doing. Jesus is always lifting the apostles when they are too low, but he’s also lowering and humbling the apostles when they are too prideful. Jesus always reveals to the apostles what they hadn’t seen before, where they may be wrong, not because Jesus is trying to accuse, but rather because He is helping them to grow. We all need a Dr. John Watson in our lives. Let it be the God of the universe, who is Jesus.

Jesus is the Bridegroom
I just got back from our women’s weekend here at the Newman Center, where college-aged women go off for a weekend and dive into what it means to identify as a sister, a mother, a daughter, and a bride, and it was so awesome sauce. All of these college-aged women were convicted of the fact that even though they were not married, they had a bridegroom, Jesus. This is why I love the…

Palm Sunday 2024
So this weekend is Palm Sunday, which means that we will hear from the entire Passion of Jesus Christ at mass. So, prepare your body to stand for a long time. What is so beautiful about this Sunday is that we learn about God’s infinite love. Jesus Christ goes to the greatest lengths to prove His love for us. This is so beautiful because, as Christians, this Palm Sunday reminds…

We Are Safe
23andMe has nothing on the Catholic Church. They got nothing. They have nothing on this Pentecost Sunday; Jesus Christ reminds us that we, as a church, have a genealogy that goes back to Jesus Christ. As human beings, we have a deep desire to be safe and taken care of, and it is through Jesus Christ and His church that we find this safety. All we have to do is look at Pope Leo the 14th. We look at everyone…
