Keep scrolling to learn a little bit more about him and read an except from his foreword this year!
Favorite Saint: St. Maria Goretti!
Favorite Marian Apparition: Our Lady of Guadalupe
Favorite Scripture Verse: Songs 2:10
Favorite Liturgical Season: Lent, specifically Holy Week! It's powerful entering into the Passion of our Lord and being able to taste the incomprehensible love God has for us!
Favorite Retreat: My first retreat as a priest that I went on 13-months into my priesthood. It was a silent, directed retreat with some of my closest priest-brothers and we had the blessing of being directed by our spiritual director from our time in seminary!
Where you feel closest to God: Easy. Mass - everyday! Everyday I am deeply humbled that I get to be a priest and celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Where would you travel on pilgrimage? The Camino of Santiago is at the top of my list!
Favorite Book: "Divine Mercy in my Soul" - the Diary of St. Maria Faustina
Favorite Breakfast: Some simple eggs, bacon, and pancakes are enough for me!
One thing you can't live without: My espresso machine.
Favorite way to spend a day off: I love car-camping, and camping in general! Pulling up to the middle of nowhere just to sleep in my car genuinely recreates me!
One piece of advice for those who struggle with Mass: If there is just ONE thing (word/phrase/etc) that strikes you from any reading or the homily -- please feel at ease in recognizing that maybe God is speaking to you, during the Mass, through that one thing!
