My life with the Vampire Diaries, Twilight, Stranger Things, and Outer Banks. What do all of these things have in common? Love triangles and maybe not the most wholesome love triangles. Today, we celebrate the solemnity of the Most Blessed Trinity, the most perfect and profound love relationship, a love triangle between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This is what we desire. We want that perfect love. And I’m sure many of us have amazing relationships in our lives, but they’re not perfect and have flaws. We look to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit to know how to love ourselves, as the end of the gospel for this Sunday reminds us: ‘Behold, I am with you until the end of the age.’ That’s the greatest news ever. This perfect relationship of love is with us always. And guess what? Jesus. He doesn’t lie.

Holy Saturday 2024
This is a little dated, but the “Bourne” trilogy. Jason Bourne, an ex-assassin, runs away and hides from the government. He does everything in his power, training, and skill to hide from the government, and he succeeds. When it comes to being a Christian, we will never succeed at hiding from Jesus. Today, Holy Saturday, what does Jesus do? Before the…

Spiritual Coziness
Okay, what are the top five things Americans attribute to the word cozy? Number one, soft sofas. Number two, hot beverages. Number three, books. Number four, blankets. Number five, fireplaces. For us as Catholics, what is the thing that brings us coziness? It’s not a fireplace; it’s the sanctuary lamp because whenever we walk into a church and see it lit, we know that our friend Jesus is present. And there is…

The Word “But”
My favorite word in the gospel for this Sunday is the conjunction “but.” I love the part where the apostles say to Jesus, “Jesus, we have worked all night. We have caught nothing. But at your command, we will lower the nets.” The word “but” is so powerful because it shows the relationship with Jesus. A lot of the time, we don’t use that word. All we ask is the question, “Why?” “Jesus, why am I suffering like this?” “Why would…
