In the gospel for the Sunday, Jesus shares with us, “If a brother sins against you, go to that brother and share his fault with him alone.” This message is so powerful for us, and we can take this teaching and completely ignore it. What do we do when someone sins against us when someone hurts us? We tell every single person in the universe except for them.
The church shares with us that Jesus is the Divine Physician. He’s the one who always desires to heal and bring union. We can imitate Jesus by going to our brother who has hurt us but desires healing and union. You look at Jesus in the Divine Mercy image, and he never holds his hand up in a fist. Jesus always has his hand held out, showing his wounds, desiring healing, having his hand out in blessing. Broken relationships stay broken if we don’t desire and act to heal.

Moral Authority
Guys, Muppet, Yoda, beats CGI, Yoda, any day of the week. We see this in The Empire Strikes Back, where Luke Skywalker is Yoda’s apprentice. Luke follows everything that Yoda says because Yoda has moral authority; we see this moral authority and the gospel for this Sunday at the wedding of Cana. Mary says to the servants, do whatever he tells you, and they do it because Mary has this moral authority; because of…

Getting Ripped (Spiritually) This Lent
It’s Lent, and let’s get after it. The best thing we can do for this Lent is spiritually move from Andy Dwyer to Star-Lord. When he plays Andy Dwyer, Chris Pratt is a little bit on the overweight side, a little bit pudgy, and when he plays Star-Lord, he is very fit. Chris Pratt, in an interview, said the way that he was able to get to the physique of…
