Father Mike's Podcast

"What Jesus' answer to the Sadducces actually means and how Heaven and Earth work together within God's Kingdom."

"To be a disciple is to count the cost, discern a course of action, and act on it. Today discusses the perils and blessings of doing so."

"How God's time is interweaved with ours. What that means within Advent. What Pope Francis sees in his vision of the Church can help us with the 'What now?' question."

"What makes the Holy Family unique and what does it mean for us? How can the example of Jesus and his full sense of family push us to extend our family toward God and his people?"

"What is baptism? Why are we baptized? Why was Jesus baptized?"

"John the Baptist saw something in Jesus that will help us to see who he is and what he means to us as well."

Third Sunday in Ordinary Time: "Jesus begins his public ministry with a simple message. What does 'Repent' mean and how can we turn to God with our heart, mind, and lives?"

Feast of the Presentation of the Lord: "Why did the Holy Family do it and what do Simeon and Anna help us to realize?"

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time: "Jesus is teaching a practical lesson when he says hatred leads to murder and adultery in the mind is adultery."

Second Sunday in Lent. What does the Transfiguration teach us and how can we allow it to transfigure our lives as it did to the disciples?"

Sixth Sunday of Easter. When Peter says "we should always be ready to give to anyone who asks a reason for our hope", how can we do that? First of all, know our hope. Secondly, know your reason for your hope. Thirdly, express it."

The Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ: "On this feast we briefly discuss what the Eucharist is but we will talk a bit more about why the Eucharist is."

The Feast of Saints Peter and Paul: "The lives of Saints Peter and Paul tell us something about the greatness of our Lord and His Gospel. Why did they give their lives for the Gospel? What can their rootedness in Jesus and his message inspire us to do?"

15th Sunday in Ordinary Time: "To allow the Word of God to penetrate our lives two things are required: Openness and commitment. We also need to avoid three things and Jesus tells us what they are."

20th Sunday in Ordinary Time: "The prophesy in Isaiah says that all the world will come to worship the true God. How can that happen? How do the actions of Jesus and the teachings of Paul explain how people come together in Christ."
