“My Life with the Walter Boys,” “Vampire Diaries,” “Twilight,” “Stranger Things,” and “Outer Banks,” what do all of these things have in common? Love triangles. And not the most wholesome love triangles. Today, we celebrate the solemnity of the most blessed Trinity, the most perfect, epic love triangle, the love relationship between the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. This is what we desire. We want that perfect love. I’m sure many of us have amazing relationships, but they are not perfect or flawed.
We look to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit to know how to love ourselves. At the end of the gospel for this Sunday, Jesus promised, “Behold, I am with you until the end of the age.” That’s the greatest news ever. This perfect relationship of love is with us always. And guess what? Jesus, He doesn’t lie. This is Spirit Juice. Peace.

But everyone…

Obedience Vs. Disobedience
So, the word “obey” has developed a negative connotation. When we are called to obey someone, it’s cringe. But “obey” comes from a Latin word which means to listen to. For example, when we obey the Lord, we listen to Him and what the heart of Jesus desires. In the gospel for this Sunday, Jesus asks the leper to obey. He says, “Do not tell anyone about this.” And what does the leper do? He disobeys. And so the…

Ascension of the Lord
So, you know that part of the Mass where everyone has received communion, and then the priest sits down. Everyone in the church then follows the priest and sits down, and it’s like this great relief.
