Episode 103: Be Made Clean

February 08, 2021 16:00 - 20 minutes - 28.7 MB

This last Sunday in Ordinary Time (before Lent) invites us to consider Jesus's power to heal us. Will you go to confession to respond to this invitation? Will you receive the medicine of our salvation in the sacrament of the Eucharist? In these last few days of Ordinary Time we can be thinking of how Lent will be a special time of renewal and healing for those who seek the Lord.

Episode 102: Rise from your Sleep

February 01, 2021 16:00 - 20 minutes - 28.1 MB

Often we think of preaching as a special time for a learned teacher to offer pearls of wisdom to those who are interested, when in truth preaching is an act of the Holy Spirit that moves through the preacher to communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ. With such a noble end, woe to us if we do not allow the Spirit to work in us with such power.

Episode 101: Authority and Anxiety

January 25, 2021 16:00 - 21 minutes - 29 MB

What does it mean to call Jesus "Lord"? In today's readings we consider the impact of "trying to make it on our own" without recognizing Jesus's authority over us. In the end, this may be the source of all of our anxieties.

Episode 100: Resistance is Futile

January 18, 2021 16:00 - 20 minutes - 28.2 MB

Like last week, the readings present the call of the disciples. This time, though, the focus is on the urgent need to respond to God's call. It is true, God is patient, but we are invited to respond with diliegence.

Episode 99: We Have Found the Messiah

January 11, 2021 16:00 - 20 minutes - 27.7 MB

The question is not whether God will call you, but how and to what. Too often we respond with generosity, but are told "that's not how we do things". God is always inviting us to respond with newness and life. With today's readings we pause to consider how God is calling us to be creative and zealous in our response to his invitation.

Episode 98: 20 + CMB +21

December 28, 2020 16:00 - 20 minutes - 28.6 MB

Like Christmas, the feast of the Epiphany is not just an invitation to remember a past event. It is also an invitation to encounter the risen Lord in the same way as those priviliged to be with him in his first coming. Those of us awaiting his return are also able to visit him and encounter his divinity ... if we're willing to make the journey.

Episode 97: No Strangers Among Us

December 21, 2020 16:00 - 20 minutes - 28.3 MB

Merry Christmas! The first Sunday of Christmastide is upon us, and today we focus on the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. How do we live as nuclear families? What about in the Church? Do we treat everyone as family? Or, are there still strangers among us?

Episode 96: Surprised by Joy

December 14, 2020 16:00 - 22 minutes - 30.2 MB

After two weeks of "preparing the way" with John the Baptist, this week we are given the figure of the Blessed Mother. After preparing the way of the Lord, are we able to be surprised by the Lord? Perhaps, like Mary, God is planning to come into your life in a new and beautiful way. Prepare the way, but be ready for anything.

Episode 95: The Temptations of John the Baptist

December 07, 2020 16:00 - 20 minutes - 28.1 MB

We have a repeat appearance this week of St. John the Baptist. This week, though, he defends himself against the temptation to make of himself equal to Christ. Here we see him overcoming the voice of deception by "testing the spirits". If we are to be holy, we must test everything, choosing only that which conduces to Christ increasing, and us decreasing.

Episode 94: Prepare the Way of the Lord

November 30, 2020 16:00 - 21 minutes - 29.7 MB

This week the central character in our readings is St. John the Baptist. How do we, like him, prepare the way of the Lord and make straight his paths? Perhaps this is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of going to Confession during this season, and thereby make a clear path to our hears for the Lord.

Episode 93: Be Watchful! Be Alert!

November 23, 2020 16:00 - 20 minutes - 28.7 MB

On this First Sunday of Advent the readings invite us to vigilance. Rather than being hypervigilant, though, what if Jesus' invitation to "Wait" and to "Be Alert" is really an invitation to pray? Perhaps this Advent we can take some time to find the Lord where he comes everyday: in the silence and stillness of our hearts.

Jesus is both king and pauper. To attend to the king is to see to the needs of the least in his kingdom.

Episode 91: The Fear of the Lord

Episode 89: All the Saints in Heavenly Glory

October 26, 2020 15:00 - 20 minutes - 28.5 MB

Though it is right to imitate the saints in their earthly example, narrated in their biographies and journals, it is also necessary (and perhaps more urgent) to imitate them in their current activity. The saints, right now, in heaven, are resting in the Lord. What does it mean to rest well? Rather than focusing this All Saints Day on how much more work we need to do to bring about the Kingdom, perhaps we would do well to imitate the saints in Glory who have found their eternal rest.

Episode 88: Love of God and Love of Neighbor

October 19, 2020 15:00 - 22 minutes - 30.7 MB

Today's readings offer the simple truth that the love of God and the love of neighbor are intertwined. The guys try to avoid overcomplicating this truth, and muse over different kinds of homilies.

Moving away from the vineyard, our readings consider the image of a banquet feast. The guys struggle to boil the gospel down to a coherent message.

September 28, 2020 15:00 - 21 minutes - 28.9 MB

The vineyard theme continues for a third week in a row... The guys consider the kinds of "walls" we have built up around our hearts, and how God may be tearing them down to allow us to be completely dependent on him. They also muse on how to best prepare their homilies, navigating the tension between writing their homilies on the one hand, and going completely off-the-cuff on the other. It may be that David and Jonathan have their preferences... Readings/Lecturas Readings in English (http://...

Episode 84: Have the Mind of Christ

September 21, 2020 15:00 - 20 minutes - 28.6 MB

The vineyard theme continues this week in the parable of the two sons who are sent to work by their father. What is on full display, though, is not their actions or intentions, but the change of mind that accompanies a true conversion. In the end, the only antidote to ideology is to have a change of mind, and to be conformed to Christ.
