Lenten Reflections 2021: Saturday, March 6, 2021
If it has been a while since you have gone to confession, ask God to give you the grace and courage to do so. My students sometimes ask what I am thinking when they confess. The answer is simple. How can I be open to the movement of the Holy Spirit so that the person going to confession receives the mercy of Jesus.

Lenten Reflections 2021: Friday, March 5, 2021
Sometimes it is hard to know the purpose of God. Why do bad things happen to us even when we are in a good relationship with God? It would seem if we go to Mass, if we pray, if we are generous, then our life should go well, right?

Who is it you notice? It is simply not at all likely the rich man did not notice Lazarus, the poor man. He was in the front of his house, and his sores are visible We can think that this is just an isolated story from long ago. But who is it you notice?

Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel had a song they sang called I am a Rock. The song is about a man who has been hurt in a relationship and decides he is no longer going to allow himself to be hurt again. Most of us have probably had the experience of being let down by another person. Sometimes these events cause really deep pain. And we can be tempted to take the same route as the character in Paul Simon’s song. We can close ourselves off from everyone.

Homily for Wednesday, March 3, 2021
I remember a student in a high school I was at that constantly reminded me that I had forgotten to give the homework. Needless to say he was not terribly popular. But he was so obsessed with grades that he did not want to take a chance they would get any lower. He was so obsessed that he could not enjoy his success. We can be like that in our life too. James and John were so obsessed they could not see clearly what it meant to follow Jesus.
