Raise your hand if you have made plans and then canceled them at the last minute for no apparent reason. Millennials and Gen-Zers, are notorious for making plans and then canceling them. Because there is something within us that believes that what I say and promise doesn’t matter and doesn’t hold weight. We can get into much trouble, leading to a lack of conviction within our hearts.
Jesus, in this Sunday’s gospel, says, “Let your yeses be yeses, and your noes be noes.” Be convicted. Realize that what you say matters and that what you say is either the truth or a lie. The Father in heaven has given us speech, and he has given us a voice to speak the truth. And the truth is Jesus Christ. If we cannot follow through on little things like making plans, then how can we follow through on eternal things?

Holy Thursday
Okay, friends, we did it. It is the Triduum, and it is the holiest time of the whole year. And tonight, on Holy Thursday night, Jesus and the Eucharist are taken out of all the tabernacles in all churches and placed in a special place in the church. Tonight, Jesus goes from the Last Supper to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray with His apostles. And He asks…

The Lord Keeps Us Safe
So, have you ever seen those videos of police dogs that attack the guy wearing the crazy, weird-looking suit? Sometimes I feel like that’s my life. There are many times when I feel attacked, and I feel like I’m out of control, and I don’t feel safe. In the gospel for this Sunday, the apostles experienced the same thing.
