SpongeBob versus Patrick. We all know SpongeBob. We all know he actually has a lot of drive. He actually has a lot of vision. He wants to do something, and he gets after it.
Patrick, on the other hand, he has no vision. He lives under a rock. He doesn’t really do anything. That is how we can so often live as Catholics. We live as Patrick. We don’t have a vision for our spiritual life. We don’t have any drive to improve in our prayer life. Here is Jesus in today’s Sunday reading. Who builds something without having all the proper materials or who goes into battle without having the right amount of soldiers? We’re supposed to have vision. We’re supposed to prepare. And that is what Christ is calling us to.
To grow in our spiritual life, to grow in our prayer life, and to grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ. What is the vision you want for your prayer life for next Sunday? And just go and do that thing. Be SpongeBob. Don’t be Patrick.

God is a Just God
The Gospel for this Sunday is all about the judge. You know who is a bad judge? Scarecrow from “The Dark Knight Rises.” Scarecrow is one of the villains who presides over a kangaroo court, condemning the aristocracy to death. And he gives them two options, either death or exile. And both of those options lead to death…

Palm Sunday 2024
So this weekend is Palm Sunday, which means that we will hear from the entire Passion of Jesus Christ at mass. So, prepare your body to stand for a long time.

Be Brutally Honest with Jesus
Let’s talk about Emmett from the Lego movie. He thinks that everything is awesome. Yet, he is actually living a lie and he can’t truly be happy until he is honest with himself and honest about his situation. Right, come on, let’s be honest.
