So it’s about time we talked about Quidditch, which is obviously a real sport. After consulting many experts, the reality is that the most important position is not the seeker, the keeper, or the chasers; the two beaters on the field are protecting the rest of the team, enabling everyone to feel safe. If this makes no sense, stay with me.
In the second reading for this Sunday, Saint Paul says, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” The Father in heaven is our protector. He never promised that we wouldn’t suffer, but he promised that he would be with us. Even amid our suffering, we can feel safe because God is for us. We live in fear because we don’t truly feel secure, but with the Father, Who is all-knowing, all-loving, and all-powerful, He is for you. This is the greatest gift we can ever be given—safety in the Father’s arms.

Embrace The Ordinary
Imagine yourself three years ago. What were you like? Most likely, you have grown and matured, and the vast majority of those three years were probably really ordinary; they were probably boring. We are now in ordinary time, and the Gospel is for this Sunday. The disciples begin their three-year journey with Jesus. Imagine the disciples at the beginning of this time, and imagine who they are at the end of that time…

Divine Mercy
The Vatican said we must Google Image the Divine Mercy on our phones and put it as our background. And when I say the “Vatican,” I mean “me.” The Divine Mercy Sunday is an incredible Sunday where we witness Jesus pursuing us. We look at the image of Divine Mercy and see that Jesus is not standing still. He has one foot forward, walking towards us, running after us, pursuing us. This is the Divine Mercy…

Don’t Hoard Your Gifts
This Sunday’s Gospel is about the rich man who accumulates all of this wealth. But he hoards them; he doesn’t give anything away. We are called as Christians to do the opposite. We have accumulated so many skills. The question is, do we hoard it or do we give it away in love? I think a great example of this is Eleven from Stranger Things…
