I am in the confessional, ready to go, and there’s got to be at least a hundred college kids around campus right now who are sinners. So I’m hoping for at least a hundred confessions because today is Divine Mercy Sunday. Today is a day when Jesus wants to do is share His merciful heart with us. I invite you to look at the miraculous image of the Divine Mercy. Especially look at His feet and see how one foot is forward as if Jesus is walking towards you. Jesus is not passive. He doesn’t wait around. He is walking towards you. He is always pursuing you. All we have to do is let Him allow Him to love us, come close, and give us His mercy.
And so my invitation today, go to confession. Be made new. Let Jesus win in your heart. Seriously. Go now. Find a priest and go to confession. Now. Do it. Go.

A Father Who Keeps Us Safe
I was just in the Gulf of Mexico, went to the beach, and saw something crazy. I saw a father placing his 2-year-old son on the edge of the water, and he sat there and let his son walk forward. The son took one step into the ocean, looked back at his dad, smiled, turned back, and took one more step forward, and he kept doing this. This little 2-year-old boy felt safe amid a vast, powerful, dangerous ocean because he knew…

Spiritual Nostalgia
Spiritual nostalgia. It is so real. It is wanting to experience your feelings again during that amazing God moment. It’s wanting to experience again that feeling you had when the Cubs won the World Series. In the gospel for the Sunday, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up the mountain and reveals his glory. They feel they experience the realness of Jesus’ divinity, but then they go down the hill, and Jesus seems to have…

Gate To Heaven
So, at the end of your life, you get to the gates of heaven, and the person guarding the gates of heaven, either St. Peter or Morgan Freeman, asks you, “Why should I let you into heaven?” And we could have so many answers, like ” because I’m awesome,” ” because I gave much money to the poor,” ” because I went to mass every Sunday,” or “I’m not Voldemort.” We can give many good answers…
