So in the gospel today, a sower goes out to sow, and the sower throws seed down on the thorny ground, and the thorns choke the seeds so the seeds do not flourish. We are often thrown onto the thorny ground, and busyness is one of the big things that really chokes us. Busyness in our lives chokes our relationship with Jesus, and we do not flourish. And so we need to be a guardian of our time. And so, how do we do this? We can be more like Dr. Strange.
Dr. Strange is a superhero that possesses the time stone. He moves from possessing time and moves to being a guardian of time. In the same way, we are called to be a guardian of our time and to give some of our time to Jesus so that we can thrive. The last thing we want is to get to the end of our lives and say to Jesus, “I just didn’t have time for you.” Guard your time well. Give it to Jesus and thrive.

God’s Radiating Love
This has got bad news written all over it. If you have ever seen “Chernobyl,” “Godzilla,” or “The Simpsons,” you know that radiation is silent. You don’t feel anything, and it can change you. Similarly, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is just like that, only it gives you life and doesn’t kill you. When we go to adoration, it is silent. We don’t feel anything, but it is super…

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…
