Saint Ignatius of Loyola. He is a rockstar saint. He popularized something that is called imaginative prayer. We use our imagination to pray because God created our imagination to speak to us. That’s incredible! This Sunday’s Gospel is absolutely beautiful. It’s the Prodigal Son. Prodigal Son leaves the Father’s house, but he’s welcomed back.
Here is my invitation: use imaginative prayer. Imagine yourself in the Father’s house. What does it look like? For me? It looks like a hobbit hole. Something that Frodo Baggins or Bilbo Baggins would live in. I imagine myself in this house being loved by the Father.
Use imaginative prayer to be able to place yourself and imagine where you feel the safest and where you can feel the most loved. And let the Father love you and let the Father get to know you, and let yourself get to know the Father.

Voice of God
Okay, guys, you have to check out this photo. This photo was taken in 1974 of a little boy named Harold. Harold could not hear anything, so doctors placed a hearing aid in his ear, which is the reaction of Harold hearing sound for the first time. And this picture is so moving, but what we hear in the gospel for this Sunday is even more moving and more incredible. Jesus Christ takes a deaf man away from the crowd…

Love Mary Like I Love Harry Kane
We just had the World Series, and it was awesome. Please don’t tell the government, please don’t judge me, but I actually was rooting for the team of England. I was rooting for England, because my favorite soccer player of all time is Harry Kane. And in British English, it’s Harry Kane. I love Harry Kane. He is the striker of all strikers…
