Faith, pop culture, and headline reflections from Fr. Mike Schmitz.
As we journey through Holy Week, let's pause before rushing to Easter. This sacred time invites us to reflect deeply on Jesus' message to His disciples and to us: ”Stay with me.”
Today, Fr. Mike Schmitz emphasizes the power of simply being present with Jesus. He reminds us that during this solemn week, Jesus isn't asking for our perfection or strength — He desires our presence. By staying with Him, we open ourselves to the transformative grace of Holy Week.
