After Jesus heals the leper in Mark 1, He says something that confuses most of us: “see to it that you say nothing...” Why?! Isn’t saying something to others, giving testimony, the point? Pat reflects on what Christ might want for the leper, and what He wants for us too!

Many of us have heard Christ’s words, that “the way is narrow which leads to life.” But what does this mean for us, and how does it actually look or play out in our lives? John and Pat discuss!

What do you bring to the Mass? What is the treasure you offer to God? And how do you do it, practically speaking? John and Pat discuss!

The last two weeks the drama has been building—the pregnancy of Elizabeth, the annunciation to Mary, unveiling in their bodies the mysterious movement and development of salvation history. This week, they meet. Pat reflects on the visitation of Mary with Elizabeth, the last episode before Christ’s nativity!

The advent story continues! It’s week two of the Advent Series, and the story progresses to Mary’s annunciation. Pat recaps last week’s reflection on Elizabeth’s pregnancy with John the Baptist, and segways into the conception of Christ in Mary. He continues to draw out significant elements of the narrative, and the meaning of the story for all salvation history, as well as for us today.

As part of of advent, Pat plans a series of talks telling the story of the months leading up to Christ’s birth, as told in the Gospel of Luke. After a short introduction to the plan, Pat begins the story where Luke does: with Elizabeth, and the conception of John the Baptist. Pat places it in the context of salvation history and draws out the implications for and applications to our lives today.

The church year is ending. We just celebrated the last Sunday of the liturgical year, the Solemnity of Christ the King of the Universe. But why is this the last Sunday? What is the significance of this solemnity? Pat and John discuss, sharing personal reflections and insights.

Amidst a challenging and contentious election and election season, how do we stay centered on Christ? Pat reflects, challenging listeners with a simple question that ultimately helps us recognize where we are placing our hope, for ourselves, our neighbor and our community: What is your creed?

Many of us have been told before that God has a “special mission” for our lives, a special way we were designed to help build His civilization of love—but what does that mean, and what does it look like to live it out? Pat offers some food for thought, sharing from his own personal journey in recent months.
