Jesus, Our Lady, St. Thomas Aquinas, forming men’s groups, leisure, bacon, whisky, and homesteading. These are a few of our favorite things #CheerstoJesus

If our family time is just everyone in the same room staring at separate screens, then there is no substance to pass down. A lot of pixels and not a lot of love. And if my generation doesn’t build real traditions worth inheriting, we’ll be the ones the next generation looks back on as hollow, the inauthentic generation that had every tool to connect and somehow handed down nothing.

What’s the hardest aspect of being a father in today’s world?

[Adam Minihan @minihan8]

Baltharsar Gracián said make your friends your teachers. My @TheGreatB00ks reading group has shaped my intellectual life more than any room of experts, because every man at the table is ahead of me somewhere, and nobody is out of reach. That's the room worth finding.

Throwback to SEEK26!

God doesn't merely know you; He invites you into friendship with Him.

In this SEEK talk, Fr. Gregory explores how divine friendship transforms every part of the Christian life, from prayer and worship to community and mission.

Because the heart of Christianity isn't simply knowing about God. It's knowing God.

Do you want to start reading the Bible?

But do you have a lot of questions?

📚What is the Old Testament?
📚Where do I start reading?
📚Do I have to read all of it?
📚How should the Bible be read?
📚What is a Gospel?

These are all good questions for those thinking about reading the Bible.

And we have answers!

You can read the Bible with just a little help. Come see.

That’s two messages this week from people exploring Catholicism and reaching out.

Tulsa is the place for Catholic culture.

[TheCatholicManShow @CatholicManShow]

@johnamonaco Tulsa, OK… and it’s not even close!

What are the common threads that make a good day for you?

I considered this question and realized 3 things typically happen when I consider a day to be a “good day”.

[TheCatholicManShow @CatholicManShow]

@genvatican2 That’s a bit disingenuous.

He said he could do it and even tested it. That doesn’t mean we used it.

The real conversation was the cost and whether it’s actually better. Then we got into the real issue… what guardrails should look like, even if doing it right costs more.

@godsplaining @PatrickMaryOP Great job here @PatrickMaryOP! Well done and thank you!

Nothing beats a Sunday night steak with a pour of @knobcreek from a @CatholicManShow Glencarin glass

[Adam Minihan @minihan8]

Today is the feast of St. Gemma Galgani, a mystic, stigmatist, and patron of pharmacists & those suffering illness.

We have a 1st class relic of hers right by Mary Colette’s bedside.

Today we’re also taking the paralytics off Mary Colette as she continues to fight and grow.

St. Gemma, pray for our daughter and for all who carry heavy crosses in body and soul.

Happy Easter! Christus resurrexit!

There is a longer game than willpower. It requires more patience at the start. But it is the game that actually holds.

PALM SUNDAY HOMILY

✝️You are a thought of God made flesh.

The thought of you has been with God and within His Divine Mind since before He laid the foundations of the earth.

Before he knit you together in your mother’s womb—he knew you AND HE LOVED YOU.

You are a thought of God made flesh—and it is the Mind of God that gave you existence and continues to hold you in existence today.

When a carpenter makes a chair, the chair exists separately from the carpenter—but when God made you, you do not exist separately from him—no more than a thought can exist outside of the mind.

He created you and continues to hold you in existence.

You think of things because they exist, but things exist because God thinks of them. (x2)

For God not to think of us would mean the end of us—a thought no longer held in the mind.

And who is this Divine Mind? Not a what but a who. The Divine Mind is a Person.

St. Augustine tells us the Mind of God is the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, the Son – and it is this same Divine Mind that became Incarnate in Jesus Christ.

What does this mean?

It means the Mind came and dwelt amongst his own thoughts.

That the same Jesus Christ who walked the earth is the same Divine Mind that holds all reality in existence.

In fact, as Mary was giving birth to Jesus, Jesus was also holding Mary in existence.

And on the Palm Sunday, this gives us a brutal but beautiful truth about the Cross of Christ.

That as the Centurions are mocking Jesus, He is holding them in existence.

As the Jews are betraying their own Messiah, Jesus is holding them in existence.

As they are hammering the nails into his hands, Jesus is holding the nail, the hammer, the wood, and the Romans in existence.

All he had to do to escape his torment was to THINK otherwise, and it all would have ended.

But He did not. He did not because he LOVES you.

He did not because the Divine Mind desired to suffer to reconcile its thoughts back to the Mind that gave them existence.

To invite you, a thought of God, back into a beautiful harmony with your own Divine origin.

This week is a week of Love.

This week is an invitation to a reality that is honestly too beautiful for us to even comprehend.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

[Adam Minihan @minihan8]

For beauty is that which pleases when seen.
