Learning to Love Like Jesus
The fullness of the mission of Christ includes a heart for the poor. This is pretty central, actually, but somehow doesn’t always get a lot of airtime. This isn’t just something we do, but who we are. It’s not just a Christian thing — this is being like Jesus. And even once that heart is developed and the desire is there, the how can…
Christian Contentment
In our world of wanting more and of endlessly upgrading, we have to get good at saying, “Okay, that’s enough.” There’s a game of constant consumption and if we’re not careful, it’s going to take advantage of us.

Spy Wednesday (Holy Week Retreat)
What’s the difference between Judas and Peter if both betrayed Jesus?
On this Spy Wednesday reflection, Father Tim dives into one of the most powerful and personal moments of Holy Week. Both Judas and Peter failed. Both said no to Jesus. But their stories end very differently.
Judas turned inward, letting resentment grow and pulling away from Jesus. Peter, on the other hand, looked up. In the moment of his failure, he locked eyes with Jesus, and that changed everything.
This Holy Week, the question isn’t if you’ve failed. It’s where you’re looking now. Because it’s in the presence of Jesus that we find healing, mercy, and who we truly are.
An Unfading Mercy (Lent 2026)
Do you ever feel stuck confessing the same sins over and over again?
Continuing their reflection on the Prodigal Son, the friars explore a powerful truth: God’s mercy isn’t a one-time moment, it’s something we encounter again and again. Like a path worn into the ground, the Father continually goes out to meet His children, never tiring, never holding back.
In this episode, they reflect on what it means that God’s mercy is “new every morning”, and how His love doesn’t diminish, no matter how many times we return. For those who struggle with discouragement, shame, or the feeling of “starting over,” this is a reminder that the Father’s embrace is always full, always real, and always waiting.
Join us as we rediscover a mercy that never fades and a Father who never stops coming to meet us.
