Summary

Wednesday mass. 5.27.26. In this homily, I reflect on how only the Holy Spirit can bring light to the suffering and trials we face. Using the gospel where the disciples ask to be number one right after Jesus announces his own death, I explore how easily we chase blessings while avoiding the cross — and why we can't get Easter without it. The Spirit's gift of knowledge helps us see our situation through God's eyes, even when it makes no sense to the world.
