It’s Lent, and let’s get after it. The best thing we can do for this Lent is spiritually move from Andy Dwyer to Star-Lord. When he plays Andy Dwyer, Chris Pratt is a little bit on the overweight side, a little bit pudgy, and when he plays Star-Lord, he is very fit.
Chris Pratt, in an interview, said the way that he was able to get to the physique of Star-Lord, was not working out. It was his diet. And so this Lent, we are called to be able to consume what is good. And so often throughout the year, we look at things we shouldn’t be looking at. We eat things that we shouldn’t be eating. We let into our hearts things that should not be there. Can we consume what is good, virtuous, and true from the Lord? So let’s move from Andy Dwyer to Star-Lord, and spiritually get ripped.

Mary travels for three months in our gospel for this Sunday to the Hill Country of Judah. King David dances before the Lord in the Ark. The baby, John the Baptist, leaps into Elizabeth’s womb in the presence of…

The Perfect Love Triangle
My life with the Vampire Diaries, Twilight, Stranger Things, and Outer Banks. What do all of these things have in common? Love triangles and maybe not the most wholesome love triangles. Today, we celebrate the solemnity of the Most Blessed Trinity, the most perfect and profound love relationship, a love triangle between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This is what we desire. We want that perfect…

Let’s Share Our Desires with Jesus
One of my students here at the Newman Center, he is crushing hard on a girl. He can barely sleep. He can barely eat. Sharing all of this with me, I just asked him simply, “Have you seen any reciprocation on her part? Do you think she likes you?” And he responded very honestly, “Uh, I haven’t even hung out with her yet.” Okay, so here we go. This is…
