Love That Defies Logic - Fr. Ed Foley 3.30.25

On a day dedicated to pranks, tricks, and making each other look a little foolish, have you ever thought of God as a fool? A fool in love? The world celebrates IQ, emotional intelligence, business acumen, and creativity—but are those the things that truly define a successful life? Society tells us intelligence is about strategy, success, and getting ahead. But wisdom tells a different story. And God’s wisdom looks nothing like the world’s. It’s a love so relentless, so reckless by human standards, that it keeps forgiving, keeps chasing, keeps embracing—even when it seems downright foolish to do so. And that divine love calls us to do the same—to run toward the lost, the forgotten, the ones the world would rather leave behind. So today, on this April Fools’ Day, Fr. Ed Foley invites us to reconsider: Who is the real fool? The one who chases after worldly success without regard for human dignity, or the one who loves without limits? Join us as Fr. Foley explores the difference between intelligence and wisdom—and why true wisdom, the kind that prioritizes justice, dignity, and love, is the only kind that really matters.
