Holy Monday (Holy Week Retreat)
Are you afraid that getting closer to God means losing the things you enjoy?
In this Holy Week reflection, Father Tim shares the story of St. Carlo Acutis, a young saint who loved Jesus deeply and still played video games. His life reminds us that holiness doesn’t take away who we are. It makes us more fully alive.
Looking at the Gospel, we see a woman who pours everything out for Jesus, holding nothing back. That’s the invitation for all of us: not to lose ourselves, but to give ourselves fully to the One who fulfills us.
Jesus doesn’t take away your life. He makes you fully alive. This Holy Week, ask yourself: what am I still holding back from Him?
The Father’s Embrace (Lent 2026)
What do you expect to find when you finally turn back toward God?
Continuing their Lenten journey through the Prodigal Son, the friars arrive at the turning point of the story, the moment the son returns home. Expecting rejection, punishment, or distance, he instead finds something completely unexpected: the Father running toward him with compassion.
In this episode, the friars reflect on the heart of the Gospel. The Father doesn’t wait for perfection, explanations, or repayment. He runs, he embraces, and he restores dignity before a single word of apology is finished.
Join us as we rediscover the mercy of a Father who never stops watching the road and who runs to meet us the moment we begin to come home.
The Necessary Consequence of Sin (Lent 2026)
Have you ever looked at your life and quietly thought, “How did I end up here?”?
Continuing their Lenten reflection on the Prodigal Son, the friars look at the hard truth: sin always leads somewhere. What begins as freedom and excitement ends in isolation, shame, and a loss of dignity. The son who demanded his inheritance finds himself alone in the pigsty, cut off from communion and facing the reality of his choices.
In this episode, the friars invite us into a sober, honest look at our own lives. Not to condemn, but to see clearly. Because when we face the real consequences of sin, we also begin to rediscover hope.
Join us as we name the cost of going our own way, and remember that the Father’s mercy is always waiting.
Face to Face with Jesus
What happens when you come face to face with the God of the universe? You don’t want to leave.
At a recent retreat, students encountered Jesus in a powerful way and many of them said the same thing: “I don’t want to go. I just want to stay.” In His presence, everything else fades.
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Peter, James, and John experience that same reality at the Transfiguration. Overwhelmed by glory, they want to pitch tents and remain there with Him.
This Lent, keep it simple: make space to sit in the presence of Jesus. Stay. Listen. Let Him meet you there.
No Side Hustles in Our Faith
Ride-sharing. Food delivery. Pet sitting. Side hustles are everywhere and there’s nothing wrong with that. But when it comes to faith, eternal life, and the meaning of life itself, there are no side hustles. In one of His most famous teachings, Jesus says He has not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. He is the fulfillment. He is the way to heaven. He is the meaning of life. Chase your goals and work hard but when it comes to what truly matters, there’s only one answer. It’s always been Jesus.
Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit
What if the things we use to “feel better” are the very things keeping us from becoming good? In this episode, the friars continue exploring the Beatitude “Blessed are the pure of heart” looking at the quiet ways we avoid honesty with ourselves, through distraction, self-soothing, numbing, or chasing comfort. They unpack why it’s so hard to face what’s really going on inside us, and how purity of heart begins with the courage to stop running and let Jesus meet us in our reality.
