Happy Thanksgiving! I think that God loves so many things that you do and is often very grateful to you. This episode includes some recent activites from our campus ministry and, while we consider all we are grateful for, why God is grateful to you, too.

I wanted to share some ideas and reflections from Pope Leo XIV's first Apostolic Exhortation Dilexi te on love for the poor.

Here are some thoughts as I wrap my first year in the Catholic Campus Ministry at NC State and look forward to year two. Life offers so many possibilities: things are so different when we actually treat our relationship with God like a relationship. I hope that this episode helps you to do so.

Pope Leo XIV has been giving some fantastic addresses! In this episode I will some of his words from a recent speech and some of my reflections on it.

The Jubilee Year of Hope continues marching on and so I wanted to share a little bit about the history of jubilee years in the Catholic Church and some concrete expressions of hope in the world today (based on recent words of Pope Leo XIV) and in our daily lives.

In the first week of his pontificate, Leo XIV gave a number of public discourses (which have all been awesome BTW). This one in particular made me reflect quite a bit and I thought that these ideas could be great for all of us in CCM. Let me know if that is the case! Peace.

We have a Pope! The unexpected has happened. An American has been chosen as the successor of Peter. I thought I would share about my experience of white smoke day and a brief thought on one of his first speeches.

My family lost someone dear to us recently and so I wanted to share this reflection with you about why I believe Jesus was there waiting for her. Jesus is the way: if we stay close to Him we are on the right path.
