For Wednesday of Holy Week.
Fr. Chuck Dahm, a Dominican priest with over 60 years of experience, explores the heavy theme of betrayal. While we often think of Judas betraying Jesus as an isolated historical event, Fr. Chuck challenges us to examine our own lives: Are we making daily choices that are faithful to Jesus, or are we betraying his message?
Drawing from his 21 years as a pastor in a predominantly Mexican immigrant community, Fr. Chuck shares a powerful personal story about the tension between civil/ecclesiastical law and the Gospel when it came to hiring undocumented workers. He reminds us that Jesus himself often challenged the laws of his time—healing on the Sabbath, conversing with marginalized women, and touching lepers—to prioritize human dignity and love.
Join us as we reflect on Catholic social teaching regarding war, the environment, and welcoming the immigrant, and how we are called to be truly faithful to the commands of Jesus Christ today.
