We continue our series "Stories Jesus Told" with the Faithful Servant. We reference Mark 13: 32-37.

"Even as a man who going into a far country, left his house; and gave authority to his servants over every work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore, (for you know not when the lord of the house cometh: at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning,)

Lest coming on a sudden, he find you sleeping. And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch."

Other references include:

Matthew 24: 42-51

Luke 12: 35-48

We read in the Gospel that Our Lord foretold the coming of the Paraclete to His Disciples and the Epistle shows us the realization of that promise.

"O Come Holy Ghost, and fill the hearts of Thy faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Thy love."

It's almost been forty days since we celebrated the Resurrection of Our Lord. In this episode, we discuss the beauty this wonderful feast offers us!

In this episode of Aim Higher, we talk about a Paschal Meditation that can be used when praying the Franciscan Crown Rosary.

This episode was first released on April 27, 2023.

The Gospel for the Second Sunday after Easter is about the Good Shepherd.

"The Good Shepherd," says St. Gregory, "gave His life for His sheep, that in our sacrament He might change His Body and Blood into food with which to fill all whom He had ransomed. He has shown us the way we must follow to despise death, and set before our eyes the example to which we must conform."

Rejoice and be glad! It is the Easter Season, the Feast of Feasts, and we are meant to rejoice! It is true that this world is a valley of tears and a rollercoaster of joys and sorrows, so how do we make the best of it? How can we continue to rejoice, even after Easter Sunday is over? What else is there to rejoice about contained in the Liturgical Year?

In this episode, we delve into the answers to these questions and explain how it is by doing little things we are able to maintain that joy.

Oh yeah! We also have a long conversation about fish... I mean a ridiculously long conversation!

We went to the movies! That's right - we decided that we ought to go check out the movie produced by Angel Studios in case we were ever asked about it and we were indeed! Spoiler Alert! We were not fans (although that was to be expected) but we explain why that is the case.

In this episode, we discuss the history & significance of Palm Sunday and its importance as the beginning of Holy Week.
