May 15, 2022 Three Rules for Living in a Multiverse of Madness (Fr. Erik Arnold, 5/15/2022)
We are constantly told that more options equals more happiness. But study after study shows that the opposite is actually true. The more options we have in life, the more anxiety, exhaustion, fear, and regret we experience. In the face of a multitude of options the world puts before us, the Lord offers us a way out: an incredibly simple, freeing command that brings us to the heart of why we exist: love one another. From the simple command in today's Gospel flows three rules for living a genuinely happier, purpose-filled, and peaceful life.

May 15, 2022 Daily Mass Reflection (Sem. John Bilenki, 5/14/2022)
"This Is My Friend" - Robert Hugh Benson cited in his work The Friendship of Christ, 1912 (Oak & Linden Classics 2020)

THIS IS MY FRIEND

Let me tell you how I made His acquaintance.
I had heard much of Him, but took no heed.
He sent daily gifts and presents, but I never thanked Him.
He often seemed to want my friendship, but I remained cold.
I was homeless, and wretched, and starving and in peril every hour; and He offered me shelter and comfort and food and safety; but I was ungrateful still.
At last He crossed my path and with tears in His eyes He besought me saying, Come and abide with me.
Let me tell you how he treats me now.
He supplies all my wants.
He gives me more than I dare ask.
He anticipates my every need.
He begs me to ask for more.
He never reminds me of my past ingratitude.
He never rebukes me for my past follies.
Let me tell you further what I think of Him.
He is as good as He is great.
His love is as ardent as it is true.
He is as lavish of His promises as He is faithful in keeping them.
He is as jealous of my love as He is deserving of it.
I am in all things His debtor, but He bids me call Him Friend.
