Okay, so maybe you are a glass-half-empty kind of person, or you are like me, and you are a glass overflowing. Everything is awesome all of the time, and nothing is ever wrong kind of person. But in the Gospel for this Sunday, St. Thomas the Apostle is a glass-half-empty kind of person. He is very skeptical.
Something is intriguing happening here. Thomas, a man who demands raw data, encounters Jesus, who understands Thomas’s heart and uniquely reveals himself. This is Jesus for all of us. Jesus Christ knows you intimately. He understands your personality and heart, and he’s not deterred by it. He longs to reveal himself to you in a way that is uniquely meaningful to you. This is the heart of the Gospel. This is the incredible news that the Lord knows you and chooses you, time and time again. Amen. On this divine mercy Sunday, remember that this Gospel story is a testament to the Lord’s love for you. Jesus Christ is the main character, not St. Thomas. This is the Spirit Juice. Peace.

Go To Confession
I am in the confessional, ready to go, and there’s got to be at least a hundred college kids around campus right now who are sinners. So I’m hoping for at least a hundred confessions because today is Divine Mercy Sunday. Today is a day when Jesus wants to do is share His merciful heart with us. I invite you to look at the miraculous image of the Divine Mercy…

Trinity Sunday
“My Life with the Walter Boys,” “Vampire Diaries,” “Twilight,” “Stranger Things,” and “Outer Banks,” what do all of these things have in common? Love triangles. And not the most wholesome love triangles. Today, we celebrate the solemnity of the most blessed Trinity, the most perfect, epic love triangle, the love relationship between the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. This is what…

Easter
Five years ago, I had the insane opportunity to go to the Holy Land and do a pilgrimage. And in the Holy Land, I went to the Holy Sepulchre. In the Holy Sepulchre, there is the tomb where they laid the body of Jesus, and I went inside. Guys, you will not believe what I saw. I saw nothing. There was nothing. There was no one because Jesus Christ had risen from…
