This is a little dated, but the “Bourne” trilogy. Jason Bourne, an ex-assassin, runs away and hides from the government. He does everything in his power, training, and skill to hide from the government, and he succeeds.
When it comes to being a Christian, we will never succeed at hiding from Jesus. Today, Holy Saturday, what does Jesus do? Before the Resurrection, he goes to the dead to bring those faithful to the Father to him. Here is Jesus, willing to go to the depths of hell for us. He’s willing to pursue you even to death. The greatest news ever is that Jesus will pursue you unto death. Open your heart, go to Jesus today, and prepare for Easter.

When we binge-watch TV and movies, we feel less alive. In the Gospel today, Jesus says, “Come to me all who labor and are burdened, “and I will give you rest.” We’re called to go to the Lord…

Feeling Not Good Enough?
When we hear the lie, “I’m not enough”, it can start to feel true. Not good enough. Not smart enough. Not worthy enough.
But on the Feast of Corpus Christi, the Eucharist tells us something completely different. Your worth is one Eucharist. That is how deeply Jesus loves you, and that is what makes you enough.
In the Eucharist, Jesus doesn’t just give Himself to us, He receives us, all of us. So come to Him with your doubts, your wounds, and your whole heart, knowing that He is ready to receive you.

Good Friday
Okay, so this is a very solemn day, this is a very somber day. It’s Good Friday. If you have the opportunity to go to your Good Friday service at your parish, the first thing that you will see is the priest lying prostrate on the ground.
