So a hundred years from now, what will you be known for if ChatGBT has not taken over the world? Will they remember something that you did? Or will they remember a personality trait? What will you be known for? In the Gospel today, Jesus clearly states that He wants us to love Him first and then love everyone and everything after Him. When we put Jesus as the priority, everything else flows into place. The saints were known for loving Jesus first and prioritizing Him. That made them fully alive.

Don’t stop loving your spouse but love Jesus first and foremost, and then your love for your spouse, friends, and parents will shine even brighter and make you fully alive.

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, everyone. Merry Christmas, y’all. Merry Christmas, mom. Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown. This day is a day of intimacy that the Incarnation is all about intimacy. It’s God literally becoming flesh, becoming one of us, so that we can love Him, we can know Him, and we can live with Him forever. There is no greater love…

Let’s Share Our Desires with Jesus
One of my students here at the Newman Center, he is crushing hard on a girl. He can barely sleep. He can barely eat.
