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.

Soften The Hardened Heart
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…
