Shout out to everyone who is single. That’s right. And coming from a celibate priest, I need to let you know it will be okay. We can often experience a feeling of not being chosen when living a single life. We can often feel as if, I guess, I’m just not worth it. There’s something wrong with me. But the beautiful reality of the gospel today is Jesus, who says, “I will not leave you as orphans.” We are not orphans, and you are not an orphan, that the Lord has chosen you.
The God of the universe has chosen you since the beginning of time. You will never be left alone. You will never be an orphan. You have never been an orphan, and you have always been chosen. Also, being single is a grace. You have so much time to grow in your self-knowledge, grow in virtue, and really get after it.

Father Flanagan dedicated his life to protecting children and providing for them, especially those who were orphans and disadvantaged from every race and religion, and he gave of himself totally for them. This is a fantastic…

What Makes Us Fully Alive
If it has been less than a week since you’ve binge-watched movies or TV shows, raise your hand. Now raise your hand if, afterward, you felt absolutely alive. When we binge-watch TV and movies, we feel less alive. In the Gospel today, Jesus says, “Come to me all who labor and are burdened, “and I will give you rest.” We’re called to go to the Lord…

Only Jesus Can Satisfy
Either you know this person, or you are this person who goes through Netflix, scrolls through all of the TV shows and all of the movies, and can never find the perfect show to watch. And those people are so annoying. But the spiritual reality of a moment like that is Jesus knocking out our hearts, reminding us that he’s the only one who can satisfy us. That’s why…
