Guys, we are 15 days away from Easter. Fifteen days is not a long time, and it takes 15 days to walk from New York to Florida and 15 days to watch all of the episodes and seasons of “The Bachelor.” Side note, if you watch “The Bachelor,” stop and go to confession.
In the Gospel today, we have a foreshadowing of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and we have Lazarus rising from the dead. When we hear this Gospel, we know the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is close. So, let’s take a quick thermometer check in our hearts.
And ask the question, “Am I living as if the Resurrection is real in my life?” To be a saint is to witness to the Resurrection, which is true, which is the whole foundation for our faith. And so, my invitation is to live as if the Resurrection is real and true. Because it is. Jesus Christ transformed death into life, and he can transform you into a saint.

What Is The First Thing You Think Of?
When I say these phrases, what is the first thing that you think of that comes to mind? The first, “You’re a wizard, Harry.” Hopefully you thought of Hagrid from Harry Potter. The second, “Do not be afraid.” St. John Paul the Great, obviously, and the third, “We don’t talk about Bruno.” Encanto. You know there are a lot of phrases in our lives…

Stop Exposing Others to Shame
It is the fourth Sunday of Advent and the Gospel today is very beautiful. It talks about St. Joseph, since he was a righteous man, does not want to expose Mary to shame and I think that is an incredible witness for us because we can so easily expose others to shame. It is the holiday season. We are with family all the time. There’s a lot of…

Get To Know Jesus
Book recommendation for all of you, “The Great Divorce” by C.S. Lewis. If you still need to read it, do it now. This incredible book talks about heaven and talks about knowing the Lord. There’s a scene where a bus takes many people to heaven. When they reach heaven, the people who did know Jesus become fully alive. The people who don’t know Jesus are very…
