Scripture

Locked Doors

This past Sunday, we hear the “Doubting Thomas” passage from the Gospel of John. I call it that because that’s what we often refer to it as, and it’s the main focus of homilies. And even though Thomas has a… Read More »Locked Doors

It Should’ve Been You

Carry your cross. I’ve heard this so many times. And yet there’s the beauty in our faith and in our God – that no matter how many times we’ve heard a story from Scripture, God can always reveal something new… Read More »It Should’ve Been You

Ew Feet

Holy Thursday is coming up this week, where people squirm at the thought of touching someone else’s feet, or someone else touching their own feet. Growing up at our parish, it was open season – anyone could get in line… Read More »Ew Feet

Immaculate Misconception

All too often, people get confused on who the Immaculate Conception is about. Today, December 8th, is the Solemnity for the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. By that title, we should be able to figure out that it’s… Read More »Immaculate Misconception

Sowers Gonna Sow

Many know the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1-23 in case you need a refresher). Jesus reveals in this parable that the seed is the Word of God and the soil is our hearts. There’s the hard soil, the rocky… Read More »Sowers Gonna Sow

Metabolic Faith

I miss my metabolism. It was one of the greatest things I had because I could eat pretty much whatever I wanted and I didn’t really gain a lot of weight. But as the years have gone by my metabolism… Read More »Metabolic Faith

Very Much Obliged

I’ve struggled with “Days of Obligation” for Mass. It seems to have such a negative connotation to it. “I’m obligated to go.” Doesn’t sound very fun. Or exciting. Just sounds like something the Church forces us to do. Yet the… Read More »Very Much Obliged

The Inception of Joseph

Yesterday was the Solemnity of St. Joseph, spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the Gospel (Matthew 1:16, 18-21, 24a), an angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream. And it happens again not too long after (barely… Read More »The Inception of Joseph

Forward to the Past

The first time I watched the Back to the Future movies, I enjoyed them a lot. The first one is the best of course, the second had the sweet hover board, and the third wrapped it all up. Then one… Read More »Forward to the Past

Can I Get a Witness?

Which way is the right way to witness? I struggle with this constantly – being a disciple, a witness to Christ’s love, message, and mission. Not whether or not I want to be one – I do – but what… Read More »Can I Get a Witness?

Do It

In the Gospel of Mark (10:35-45), two disciples come up to Jesus and Him, “do for us whatever we ask of You.” Whenever I read this passage, I always think they sound like a couple of pompous jerks. Like, guys,… Read More »Do It

Too Late to Apologize

I’ve struggled with today’s Gospel (Mt 20:1-16). I will admit that I can be pretty selfish, and when I see someone getting the same payment or reward for doing less than I did, I complain. But as it shows in… Read More »Too Late to Apologize

Have Mercy

I was in a liturgy class a few years ago, and something that stood out to me from one of the first nights was a line from a book we were reading. I can’t remember the book or the exact… Read More »Have Mercy

6/19 – Luke 9:18-24

The more I learn about Scripture, the better it gets. There have been so many times in my life (and by that I mean like, 98% of the times) when I’ve heard, read, or even prayed over Scripture, and I… Read More »6/19 – Luke 9:18-24

Into the Unknown

I can’t tell you how many times I rewrote this article. Starting this blog has been more intimidating than I imagined. I initially thought, “This will be relatively easy – I write bulletin articles every week for my parish, which… Read More »Into the Unknown
