We just had the World Series, and it was awesome. Please don’t tell the government, please don’t judge me, but I actually was rooting for the team of England.
I was rooting for England, because my favorite soccer player of all time is Harry Kane. And in British English, it’s Harry Kane. I love Harry Kane. He is the striker of all strikers. As I’ve grown in this one-sided bromance with Harry Kane, I have begun to love what he loves, which is the English team. And so today is the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God. When we get close to Mary, we get close to God himself. The closer that we get in love to Jesus, the closer that we get in love to Mary and vice versa. So my invitation for all of us today is just like I grew in love for the English team because I loved what Harry Kane loves, you can grow to love Mary by loving Jesus more, and you can grow to love Jesus by loving Mary more.

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…

Stop Exposing Others to Shame
It is the fourth Sunday of Advent and the Gospel today is very beautiful. It talks about St. Joseph, since he was a righteous man, does not want to expose Mary to shame and I think that is an incredible witness for us because we can so easily expose others to shame. It is the holiday season. We are with family all the time. There’s a lot of…
