APATHY, DOOM SCROLLING, & JESUS with BECCA ZABOLIO

This past Sunday, we dove deep into the complicated yet relatable topics of scrupulosity and apathy. Scrupulosity (unholy anxiety about potential personal sin) and apathy (unconcerned; numb) are common pitfalls that hinder our growth in holiness and life in Christ. It is vital to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit who helps us overcome scrupulosity and apathy by leading us to the truth that sets us free! The love of Jesus is simple: He does not speak to us through fear, but instead meets us where we are in order to love us and draw us even closer to Himself.

“But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth” (John 16:13)

Don't let the things we say at Church stay at Church!! Use these questions to comfortably bring Jesus into your everyday conversations with friends, family, and even those you might not know very well (yet!).

• Do you think you can identify God’s voice amidst your inner thoughts?

• How does the Lord speak? What is His tone of voice?

• What other voices are competing for your attention?

• Do you think you are capable of conversation with God in prayer? What would that look like?

Jesus' greatest gift of love to us is the Eucharist. In fact, it is more than just a gift. It is also the Gift-Giver: Jesus gives us Himself every single time we receive the Eucharist.

Come by every week to revisit the Youth Mass Homily!! This past Sunday, Fr. Edwin Leonard preached on how the Gospel of John uses the miracles of Jesus’s ministry as signs that point to the invaluable saving grace that He wants to work in our lives!! Listen now!
