Please pray for our pastor, Fr. Tim MacDonald, who found out he has stage 4 melanoma with a cancerous tumor in his skull causing mobility problems. The tumor is bleeding and growing. He needs prayers desperately, as does our whole parish. This young man has been a blessing to us.

Falling in love with Jesus changes everything. From henceforth, nothing else compares—and therefore, you’re going to live out of that experience of faith in the risen Lord. You won’t be kowtowed by political ideology, fortune, the temptation to reduce the neighbor to object. You’ll see the risen Lord in the unborn, the prisoner sentenced to die, the migrant, and the elderly. You’ll be shaken by every word and deed our Lord did in the Gospels.
And you’ll discover a source of happiness that’s different from everything else. You’ll be weird. And probably rejected.
But you’re in love.
