The War on Mediocrity

Fr. Zarse and Carson Ackerman explore how we can continue living the joy of Easter and reflect on our response in faith following the passing of Pope Francis.

We explore the medical effects of the Crucifixion, Scourging, and Crowning with Thorns, uncovering the physical toll of Christ's suffering. We reflect on the difference between Peter's repentance and Judas's despair, the mental anguish endured by our Lord, and the depth of His sacrifice.

This meditation invites us to consider our own response to His love and the call to follow Him more closely. Dive into the mystery of the Triduum and walk with Christ through His Passion.

We welcome the Sisters of Life: Sr. Maria Regina, Sr. Mary Hannah, and Sr. Catherine Marie. While visiting our community, they shared powerful insights into their vocations, their mission of protecting and celebrating the sacredness of human life, and their deep relationship with the Lord. Listen as they discuss the joy of serving Christ, the beauty of living a life of prayer and sacrifice, and the hope they bring to those in need.
