I’m finally home. If you followed my Instagram/TikTok posts this week, you know that I was at VidCon in California with Fr. Tito. What an experience. We went to some helpful presentations about social media and content creation, but much more importantly, we were able to network with other creators and evangelize along the way.
Pope Francis or…
One fun thing we did was compare Pope Francis to a pop celebrity to “see if people could tell the difference.” The first one was super obvious, which was the joke, and the second one was not so obvious, which was the point (to show a secular audience how alike the pope was to a secular wisdom figure). The point was to make people laugh, but also to sneak in some profound teachings of the pope just in case people are listening. At least one more coming out tomorrow.
Sometimes, Less is More
Our world is all about getting more. We want to possess and we want to indulge. But does that bring happiness? The happiest people I know are the ones who deny themselves and live with discipline. Even if you’re not interested in religious life, per se, I would encourage you to adopt some penitential practices.
Answering Questions About the Mass
I love answering submitted questions because people will ask things I would never think to address. This week I did my best to answer everything I could about the Mass.
A Friar that Worked on Broadway!
Jay Woods, OFM is a priest studying for his MSW. But he wasn’t always the man he is today. Listen to his inspiring story of achieving your dreams, losing your faith, and finding hope in recovery.
Okay, I’m Tired
More to come next week, but I’m exhausted!
Peace and good,
Fr. Casey
Breaking In The Habit 
I truly appreciate your dedication to producing quality content, take care of yourself! ₊˚⊹♡
Nobody likes to feel deprivation, but, truth be told it is impossible to not be deprived. Give in to desire to eat or drink with abandon and you end up depriving yourself of health and or mobility.
The same can be said of many desires. We all have limited resources, even the insanely rich. They have similar time limitations as we all do.
It is never a question of whether we will experience deprivation, rather it is a question of what we will deprive ourselves of.
