Father Jeremy Miller: Can we stay with Jesus all the way through Holy Week?

Father Philip Smith: In order experience true friendship, deep, intimate community with other people, oftentimes we first have to go through periods or seasons of loneliness in our own lives.

Deacon Justin Moor: Becoming a better Catholic and living what we believe is also about that person like Gandhi that we encounter who is waiting on us to live what we believe before they also come to believe in Jesus.

Father Philip Smith: Jesus shows us today that he wants to enter into that anger with us. He takes on our anger and he redeems it, he transforms it into a power to do good.

Father Jeremy Miller: We’re called to accept God’s purposes and timing. His timing is always better than ours, even though we get impatient.

Monsignor Michael Billian: This Lent, you and I are called to renew the covenant, to renew the relationship we have with God – not just the deal, not just the word, the life-giving relationship that we share with one another.

Father Jeremy Miller: As we embark upon this season of Lent, let’s not see these next 40 days as busywork. But rather let’s see them as precisely what they are, which are Jesus’ remedy, Jesus’ medication if you will, and our surest path to reaching our full potential as sons and daughters of God.

Deacon Justin Moor: Jesus knows us fully and fully loves us. This is the deepest desire of our hearts: to be fully known and fully loved.

Monsignor Michael Billian: Jesus heals. He heals the pain, not just of people in the past, but the pain of people today.

Father Jeremy Miller: God wants to capitalize on what is good in the human spirit, what is good in society, what is good in each one of us here, despite our faults. He wants to redeem that, he wants to lift that up and elevate it so that we can live to the full potential of what he’s created us to be.
