I get asked very often by people who are slightly older than me. “Father Tim, where are all the young people? They’re not coming to mass. They’re not growing in their relationship with the Lord. They don’t believe in anything.”
A bit of that is valid, but most of it is false. Me and Spirit Juice and 24,000 of our closest friends were at a conference called SEEK, which was incredible. Twenty-four thousand young people worship the Lord and do it joyfully. It was an incredible witness to what the present church is like. Here are young people who are not convinced about our current culture, want to grow in their relationship with the Lord, believe everything the Catholic Church teaches, and say yes to Jesus daily. This brings so much conviction to my heart. As a college chaplain, I see this every day, and I want to say that Jesus is raising so many young people to be saints and change the world.

The Pearl of Great Price
Please don’t judge me, but I have been into AI lately, especially image-based AI. Image-based AI, you can type in a prompt, and then the artificial intelligence will create an image. And so, I gave AI two prompts. The first was Captain America praying a rosary. And the second was Pope Francis as a Chicago Cubs fan. As you can see, AI is incredible…

Glass Half-Empty or Overflowing
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…
