How to Grow in Love and Relationship: Lessons from the Trinity
Father Russ
Holy Spirit · Fargo, North Dakota · May 31, 2026
Sunday MassThe homily for Trinity Sunday emphasizes that God, being a Trinity of love and relationship, calls us to imitate this relationality and love in our own lives. The priest shares two practical ways to foster this: thinking in terms of "us" in relationships (whether with a spouse or God) to combat selfishness, and practicing a "healing the heart" exercise by vulnerably sharing our inner feelings with loved ones or God, allowing for connection and healing.

Why Vulnerability is Key to Evangelization

Sunday MassThe homily for Corpus Christi emphasizes that mission and evangelization are difficult because we often approach them with pride and a desire to appear perfect. Instead, the priest argues that true evangelization comes from vulnerability, admitting our own brokenness and need for healing, just as Jesus's Sacred Heart is wounded and open. The Eucharist is presented not as a reward for perfection, but as sustenance for our wounded journey, calling us to be a 'hospital for the wounded' rather than a 'lifestyle brand for the well-adjusted.'

Why Vulnerability is the Key to Evangelization

Holy Family (Resurrection of the Lord Parish) · Old Town, Maine · Jun 7, 2026
Sunday MassThe homily emphasizes that true evangelization comes not from a position of strength or perfection, but from vulnerability and honesty about our own wounds and need for healing. Drawing on the Feast of Corpus Christi and devotion to the Sacred Heart, the priest encourages Christians to drop their 'armor' and present themselves as real, broken individuals who find healing in the Eucharist, thereby inviting others to the 'hospital for the wounded' that is the Church.
