Spoiler alert! If you have or haven’t seen Obi-Wan Kenobi, the new show on Disney+, here is Obi-Wan Kenobi, who is struggling with a lot of fear. Obi-Wan gets rid of his identity as a Jedi and buries his lightsaber in the sand. But what’s so amazing is one of his buddies, Senator Organa, comes to him and basically reminds him of his identity. And so that fear, that anxiety, starts to fade away because someone else has reminded him of his identity as a Jedi, who he truly is.
In Sunday’s Gospel today, there’s the scene of Martha and Mary, where Martha is very anxious about many things, but Mary is able to rest with Jesus. The same thing applies to us. When we realize how loved we are by Him, that can take away so much of that fear, that anxiety, that is absolutely from the evil one. And that we can actually reclaim our lightsaber, or aka your identity in Christ.

The Narrow Gate
I just got back from an incredible camping trip in Montana. One thing that was so amazing about this trip is that in order to go to this camping site, we had to go into this narrow valley. And in this narrow valley, we couldn’t use our phones at all and we knew that. We were willing to give up our phones, our social media, everything…

A Problem with YOLO
Here’s the problem with YOLO. The more and more our culture embraces YOLO, the more and more marriage becomes radical. Marriage is saying that I no longer live for myself; I live for another. That selfless love bears fruit. But with YOLO, you are living for yourself. You can do what you want whenever you want, but it’s sterile. The second reading today from…
