Blessed Pentecost to everyone. Come, Holy Spirit, “Veni Sancte Spiritus,” let the fire fall. An incredible day that we get to realize the perfect love of the Holy Spirit and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit into all of our hearts. The Trinity can be seen as the Father being the lover, the Son being the beloved, and the Holy Spirit being the love between the lover and the beloved. This is the beauty of the Trinity. We are invited to enter into the Trinity. You were made for communion. You were not put on this earth to be alone. You were not put on this earth to do everything yourself. You were made to enter the perfect love between the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit. Ask for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on this beautiful day. Go and enter into the perfect relationship in the Trinity, even if you’re an introvert.

Waiting Like Mary
Ever wonder where the Pope goes on vacation? Castel Gandolfo, a quiet, beautiful place where a statue of Our Lady points to her Immaculate Heart with the words cor meum vigilat: “My heart is ever vigilant” As we enter the First Sunday of Advent, the Gospel calls us to that same posture: be prepared. We don’t know the day or the hour, but Mary shows us the best way to wait. Her whole life was marked by trust. From Jesus’ childhood to His Passion, she remained vigilant, steady, and confident that the Father would take care of everything. This Advent, we’re invited to wait like Mary, with a heart that’s watchful, calm, and full of trust in our Father.

Against The Grain
Okay, so fish are fascinating. Did you know that salmon swim upstream for almost 2,000 miles every year? This is insane. This Sunday, we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family, and the family are like fish always swimming upstream. No matter what is going on in the culture, no matter what is happening in the world, the family is always being counter-cultural, going against the grain, bringing life, and providing…

When we truly know that we are loved by Jesus, something changes. Our lives become compelling. That was the secret of the saints, people weren’t drawn to them because of charisma or cleverness, but because Christ was alive and active in them.
Live close to Jesus. Let Him work through you. An authentic, joy-filled faith is more attractive than we realize.
