The Prodigal Son (or is it the Prodigal Father?). Sure, you know the story. You've heard it at mass many times. But, maybe you don't know just how good the Father really is. Fr. Antony and Fr. Peter Teresa go deep into this parable of Jesus in this episode of the #BecomeFire podcast.

Confession: a Sacrament that's so good, it deserved a second podcast. So you understand sin and you've examined your conscience, have you? Now, how to actually do the thing. Fr. Antony and Fr. Peter Teresa conclude this epic series within a series in this episode of the #BecomeFire podcast.

Confession: a fountain of mercy. Except, most of us treat it more like an ocean of anxiety. But, it's good and it's needed.

Last year was the lentiest Lent that ever lented. So, where does 2021 find us? Sure, we get into the routine of giving up chocolate or soda, but how can we really enter in? Fr. Antony Tinker and Fr. Peter Teresa McConnell take us through the first week of the Church's penitent season.

O come, O come, Emmanuel. The antiphons of the Church are meant to elevate our awareness at important moments. We know them, we sing them. But do we know where they come from? All this plus our favorite Christmas memories in episode 4 of the #BecomeFire podcast. (This will be our final episode of 2020)

Nativity scenes. They seem a ubiquitous part of Christmas tradition. Where did they come from? Do they matter? Yes, and you should have one in your home. PLUS, favorite friar family Christmas traditions in this week's episode of the #BecomeFire podcast.

Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. But, more importantly, he DID come. The Church teaches about the 2 comings of Christ. In fact, we pray it in both the Nicene and Apostle's creeds. We also dive into if it's lowkey the end of the world and what we should do about that. #BecomeFire
