This is a profound and incredibly beautiful paradox. It is the shift from knowing about Jesus to truly knowing Him. The mistakes we look back on with regret are often the very things that broke through our self-reliance, forcing us to reach for a grace we didn’t realize we needed so desperately. It shows that nothing is wasted. The very chapters you might want to erase are the ones He used to write the depth of who you are today.

This weekend’s readings for the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time speak about trust, courage, and faith in God during difficult times. They show us that suffering and fear are part of life, but they do not have the final word. God sees our struggles, stays with us, and calls us to stand firm.

The Knicks’ Championship: Glory and Chaos in NYC

Colossians 3:12–13 is a beautiful blueprint for moving through the world with grace. It’s a timeless reminder of how much better things go when we choose empathy and patience as our default settings. Sometimes, we have to consciously choose to wrap ourselves in kindness the same way we pull on a favorite sweater. When we choose to wear these virtues, something incredible happens. We stop reacting to the friction around us and start changing the atmosphere of the room we walk into. 

The New York Knicks won the NBA championship Saturday night. No, this is not a fictional story. For long-suffering Knicks fans like myself, this erases all the heartache from the past 53 years. The victory brought joy, excitement, and pride to New York City. Fans filled the streets, celebrated late into the night, and shared a historic moment together.

Missing Migrant Children: System Gaps and Status

This shifts the entire focus from micromanaging every outcome to trusting a much larger, sovereign design. When you adopt this kind of mindset, setbacks stop looking like failures and start looking like necessary detours or protection. It brings a real sense of freedom. It takes a massive amount of spiritual discipline to live that out when life throws a curveball, but it’s an incredibly grounded, peaceful way to navigate the world.

Iran and the US have agreed in principle to a peace deal. This was confirmed on June 14, 2026, by President Trump and Iran’s Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Kazem Gharibabadi. The Middle East has long been a key region for global politics. It connects continents, controls vital energy routes, and shapes international security.

Missing Migrant Children: System Gaps and Status

This is an incredible perspective—the idea that our exact position in life, the specific people we interact with, and even the seemingly random casual encounters we have throughout the day aren’t accidental. They are purposeful. It suggests that by simply showing up as ourselves and being present for those around us, we are fulfilling a unique role that no one else on Earth can.

Perfection has never been a prerequisite for purpose. Look at some of the most influential figures ever to walk the earth. None of them had a perfect resume. Today, most of them would have been thoroughly vetted and rejected. You don’t have to be flawless to be impactful. Purpose doesn’t demand perfection. It demands presence.

The surge of unaccompanied children crossing the southern border of the United States created a crisis of missing migrant children. Under the open border policies of the Biden administration, over four hundred thousand young minors entered the country without parents or legal guardians.

The noise of what we should be doing, what we haven’t finished, and what we can’t control starts to crowd out everything else. In those moments, the best strategy isn’t to push harder. It’s to stop moving entirely and find your footing. If you are standing at a crossroads today, take a breath. Go back to what you know is true, anchor yourself there, and let that be enough for right now.
