One of the things that I absolutely love about Buddy the Elf is the fact that he is so innocent. He is so pure. He is so humble. And a lot of that has to do with the fact that Santa.
Takes him out of the orphanage and Buddy lives in the North Pole. He is preserved from the craziness of the world. This is the reason why Buddy can eat gum off the sidewalk. Because Santa preserved him from the craziness of the world. That is very similar to the immaculate conception. Buddy the Elf, immaculate conception. Not a perfect analogy. Jesus Christ saves Mary through his death, through his resurrection, but God preserves Mary from original sin from the moment of her conception. She is preserved from the craziness of the world to be the vessel for God himself. Ask her to pray for you that she can go to the Father who loves her and who loves you.
Have a great solemnity. Celebrate well.

He was in a war torn country celebrating mass for his Navy Seals. As he’s celebrating mass, an explosion happens outside of the tent. The priest dives for…

The Lowest Seat
This Sunday’s gospel is all about partying. I think Pope Francis should write an encyclical about how to party like a Catholic. This gospel is so good because Jesus talks about parties. We are called, not just in parties, but in life, to take the lowest seat so that we can be raised up. When you enter into a church, what is the lowest seat…

Live a Grateful Life
The Academy Awards, the Grammys, the Oscars, the Emmys, they’re so awesome. The beauty of these award shows is that the first thing that happens when someone receives an award, they actually show gratitude. They share with everyone who has helped them on this journey and the fact that they can’t do it alone…
