In this Fifth Week of Easter reflection, Fr. Mark Toups invites us to look back on the journey so far and to confront the excuses that hold us back from holiness. Through the powerful story of Saul’s transformation to Paul, he reminds us that God’s power doesn’t just work around our excuses—it meets them and overcomes them.

Fr. Toups shares his own struggles and how God helped him move past the barriers he once believed were permanent. He encourages you to name your own excuses, surrender them, and let God in.

What’s your excuse—and are you ready to let it go?
