Mainstream society tells us that religion is outdated and that there is no such thing as right or wrong—in short, that we have no need of Jesus.
“Losing a loved one is not something you ever get over; our loved ones are precious, irreplaceable gifts from God. The pain of loss is deep and we bear part of it for the rest of our lives, but as we entrust our loved ones to the mercy of God, they become treasures in our hearts for whom we give thanks. We thank God for creating such wonderful people. We pray for them and ask them to pray for us.”

“You can’t have your own pronouns any more than you can have your own adjectives. Those words refer to an objective reality about a person that can’t be changed through our subjective preferences. Through hard work, we can change adjectives that describe some parts of our appearance, but whether a person is a “he” or a “she” is a biological reality. It is inscribed in every cell of our body—it is something, contrary to what our culture claims, that cannot be ignored in favor of our own preferences.”

“Therefore, the language of “assigning” sex should be rejected. Similar terms could also be questioned. For example, the term “born male” or “born female” can undermine the stability of sex. Was the person any less male before his delivery? Can a man cease to be male at a later point in time? What is so extraordinary about the moment of birth? Sex is such a stable reality that thousands of years after one’s death—and for all eternity—the fact of being male and female persists.”

“If you’ve come to meet and know Jesus because you’ve talked to him in prayer, seen his life as you’ve read the Bible, and been fueled by the transforming grace bestowed upon you in the sacraments, then you can’t keep that to yourself. Your encounter with Jesus is one that must be shared. The lifting of your heart, the listening to his Word, and the reception of perfect sacramental gifts compel you to share Jesus with others. You’ve been transformed by your encounter with him, and that gives you immeasurable strength to then serve him—and others—in the most perfect way possible: by witnessing to who Jesus is and helping others meet him too.”
