Find the words to compensate for how vacant I have been
Never meant to take you for granted, but I know that I did
God, I hate myself for how you must think about me now
Know how much it hurts to grieve
But please don’t hate me if I leave

Location: Eden’s Twilight
Date: Friday, January 14
Time: Pre-Fight
(open)
It’s the best birthday gift imaginable: not only a win, but one that lands them in the Championships. Casey had let yesterday pass quietly, content to just respond to their family’s well wishes. They wouldn’t have been able to celebrate anything the night before a game, especially not with so much riding on this rematch.
It was the right decision. Now, Casey can celebrate the win and turning another year older all at once—even if, really, they’re happier about the game than being twenty-three. This was supposed to be the age they got drafted to the pros. That plan fell apart in Ohio, years ago, but usually it still hurts to think about it.
Tonight, though, it’s hard to feel sad about missed opportunities. It’s almost viscerally satisfying to win as a Fox, because it isn’t a foregone conclusion—that was part of what Casey liked about the Buckeyes, really. The hunger. Back when they had options, Casey turned down the Big Three for a shot at being someone’s star. It helped that everyone on the Buckeyes was so desperate to win too, to dethrone one of the Big Three and replace them.
The Foxes aren’t there, but they fought like hell tonight. They’re going to the Championships, when no one expected that from them. The win is always sweeter when you know you’ve earned it.
Casey’s at the bar now, mumuring thanks when the bartender hands them a new beer with the lid already popped off. Eden’s is as crowded as ever, but with many of them unprepared for the dress code here—Casey included— the Foxes stick out. It’s easy to spot another Fox at the bar, and Casey tips their beer towards them in a cheers.
“How are you feeling?” Casey says, loud enough to be heard over the music. “Rough game.” But it’s said with a smile, because who cares what the game was like? They’re the ones who won their way into the Championships. The adrenaline from that hasn’t faded yet. “God, I can’t wait to play in the Championships again.”

A Dark Valentine’s Day Message: Loving Your Enemies.
I will not raise a quote from this video because it should be seen in its entirety. It is a difficult and challenging message for all of us Catholics who have seen the social violence of the Epstein files, immigration raids, resurgence of racism, and global conflicts these past few weeks and know, in our guts, that social sin is as prevalent today as it has ever been. Fr. Casey discerns his own righteous anger and hatred within the lens of our Catholic faith to offer this response to us.
During Lent it would be a good time to reflect on where God is in our current social reality and where we need to be as followers of Christ. What Fr. Casey presents, especially on theme of social hatred and applying the difficult ethic of loving our enemies, is something I prayed about as I went to Mass this weekend and heard St. Paul remind us that:
We speak a wisdom to those who are mature, not a wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age who are passing away. (1 Cor. 2:16)
The rhetoric of the rulers of this age would have us ignore these issues for what they perceive as financial or national security. The wisdom of this age is to blame the victims and focus on profit over justice. But the Catholic faith doesn’t settle for that. We have a countercultural wisdom that stands with justice while loving those who are supportive of these policies.
Fr. Casey reminds us that being righteous for justice cannot be confused with the hatred we feel and end up having for those who we see perpetrate or support these injustices. I am not thinking of this in relation to people I don’t know like Trump or Noem but people who I know who defend their positions and unjust actions. I have heard from those who I know defend the anti-immigrant policies or who are eerily quiet about the Epstein files now even though they were vocal about it before it impugned certain people. I feel the same hatred that Fr. Casey confesses having as I hear people defend these horrific actions.
Fr. Casey reminds us that the ethical command to “love our enemies” is a deeply challenging teaching that is very much a part of our Christian identity. It is not an optional ethic. Fr. Casey calls to mind the Thomistic understanding of this ethic.
To will the good of the means holding people accountable to these opinions and issues. I can’t just ignore immoral and unjust opinions simply because I feel like I need to tolerate everyone’s opinion. You can have your own opinion, but if it is immoral or unjust then it becomes my charitable obligation to help you see that. If I feel that the opinion threatens your immortal soul then as a Christian who wills your good I need to let you know that.
So yes, the anti-immigration policy, as it is being conducted by this administration, is immoral and unjust. As many have pointed out, past border policies have successfully removed great numbers of undocumented immigrants without egregious violations of human rights. We cannot stand with the injustices we are seeing now, it is wrong and sinful. Pedofilia and sexual trafficking have always been a horrific sin that we must call out. The Epstein files reveal the grave extent of this situation and we cannot be quiet just because of who is impugned with this crime.
I think we all know that the immigration issue we face will always be a problem until we adopt a comprehensive reform of our immigration system. This is not an impossible goal, it just requires the political will that we the people can give to it. I have posted a number of times on this issue and the reality of my social ministry experience with this community. This post was a thorough analysis using the See, Judge, Act model to reflect on this.

As for the Epstein files, like the Catholic sex scandal we cannot ignore this grave issue. It requires a full investigation into how this culture exists and how it became deeply connected with our political system. We need to not only repudiate it but to establish a global regulation that will not allow the rich and politically powerful to create such a dehumanizing system. Brandon Nappi, a spiritual director associated with the Passionist retreat house in Connecticut, put together this video reflecting on this issue and what it says about our dominant culture.
This lent Pope Leo XIV asks us to apply a combined formula of listening and fasting. Fasting from “harsh words and rash judgement” and listening to those whose voices we tend to ignore. Listening and being attentive to the marginalized members of our society who are victims of ICE and their raids or victims of human trafficking and sexual abuse. We need to raise these stories and concerns to members of our communities who support those who defend these atrocities.
We who feel the anger and hatred of these issues must do our part to always see the good of the other. To also listen to how our brothers and sisters defend those who commit these atrocities while standing firm in our defense of the victims. In the case of the immigrant community I will do my part to also help construct moments of encounters so people of good will can have the first hand opportunity to listen to their stories.

So whose role have I been modeled after? Mother’s warmth and Father’s laughter, yet somewhere in between with my anxieties and guilt. Oh, what is the price of my reprieve if not a life of misery? Held hostage by a blade of shame, with your name at the hilt.
But I still can’t find the words to compensate for how vacant I have been. Never meant to take you for granted, but I know that I did. God, I hate myself for how you must think about me now. Know how much it hurts to grieve, but please don’t hate me if I leave.
