Duc in Altum episodes
- Episode 13: The Central Events of Peter's Life, Part IVB: Peter's Conversion (August 30, 2017)Episode 13: In this reflection, Fr. Henchey explains that true conversion must be undertaken urgently, be sincere and total, although of course, it comes to final fruition only in our personal resurrections. However, while we are on earth, and as it was for Peter, our conversion will begin to bear fruit as it changes us and our relationships with other people. August 30, 2017.1 hr
- Episode 12: The Central Events of Peter's Life, Part IVA: Peter's Conversion (August 23, 2017)Episode 12: David's conversion began when he absorbed the impact of Nathan's words: "You are the man!" Peter's eye contact with Christ was a similar moment of epiphany when he realized that Christ's prediction that he would deny Him three times was true. True sorrow over this failure put Peter on the road to redemption. In this reflection, Fr. Henchey shows us that while conversion needs to be expressed in external behavioral change, at its foundation, it requires a "metanoia;" that is, a deep interior conversion and turning of heart and mind toward God. August 23, 2017.1 hr
- Episode 11: The Central Events of Peter's Life, Part III: Peter's Fall (August 16, 2017)Episode 11: Just as Peter's call began when Christ caught his eye, his fall was complete when Christ caught his eye once again after Peter denied Him three times. Peter's fall is anguishing proof of our human tendency to protect ourselves when our beliefs are under siege even if, like Peter, we have said, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you." (Mk 14:31, Mt. 26:35). But, Fr. Henchey shows us that when "sin abounds, grace super-abounds" and in times like these, we can all rise up again, helped by the hand of the Merciful God, just like Peter did. August 16, 2017.1 hr
- Episode 10: The Central Events of Peter's Life, Part II: Peter's Early Preaching (August 9, 2017)Episode 10: When Peter proclaimed to Christ, "You are the Son of the Living God," he didn't comprehend the full meaning of those words, yet in them, Christ saw the touch of His Father: "Blessed are you, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you." (Mt 16:17). That notwithstanding, the "Rock" on whom Christ would build His Church still had much to learn. In this reflection, Fr. Henchey shows how Christ helped Peter develop humility and trust by teaching him to stay close by and never to get ahead of Him as they traveled to Jerusalem and eventually on to Calvary. August 9, 2017.1 hr
- Episode 9: The Central Events of Peter's Life, Part IB: Peter's Call (August 2, 2017)Episode 9: As Peter began his walk with Christ, he grew in humility and trust. Like many of us, his learning process was clumsy, full of false starts, mistakes and misunderstandings. Yet, through it all, Peter was willing to pick himself up and start again which, as Fr. Henchey tells us, must be our way, too, so that we never give into the temptation to discouragement along the long path of our own growth in the spiritual life. August 2, 2017.1 hr
- Episode 8: The Central Events of Peter's Life, Part IA: Peter's Call (July 26, 2017)Episode 8: This reflection begins a multi-part series on the central events of Peter's life; his call, his early preaching, his fall, his conversion and his repentance, all of which culminated in the great mission of mercy Christ entrusted to him when He said, "Feed my lambs, tend my sheep." (Jn 21:15-17). Fr. Henchey begins here with Peter's call, when Christ caught his eye and said, "Follow me and I will make you a fisher of men." July 26, 2017.1 hr
- Episode 7: The "Precious Blood" of Christ (1 Peter 1:19), Part IV (July 19, 2017)Episode 7: In this last reflection in the series on the Precious Blood, Fr. Henchey draws on the Letter to the Hebrews to show how Christ's sacrifice has allowed us all to become members of his integral family; that is, his true "blood brothers and sisters." July 19, 2017.1 hr
- Episode 6: The "Precious Blood" of Christ (1 Peter 1:19), Part III (July 12, 2017)Episode 6: Fr. Henchey develops St. Paul's idea of the Precious Blood, particularly as the seal of the covenant of God's mercy which is the fundamental divine attribute. July 12, 2017.59 min
- Episode 5: The "Precious Blood" of Christ (1 Peter 1:19), Part II (July 5, 2017)Episode 5: In this reflection, Fr. Henchey delves more deeply into the nature of the Precious Blood as that substance which sustains us during our pilgrimage on earth, giving us new life and hope in our lifelong quest for happiness and union with Christ. July 5, 20171 hr
- Episode 4: The "Precious Blood" of Christ (1 Peter 1:19), Part I (June 28, 2017)Episode 4: In this reflection, Fr. Henchey begins a four-part exploration of what Peter first called the "Precious Blood" of Christ (1 Peter 1:19). He begins by tracing the water of baptism and the blood of sacrifice back into their Old Testament roots and explores the way these two "life principles" seal our covenant with God.

About Duc in Altum
From the publisher's feed
Luke’s Gospel tells the story of the fisherman, Simon Peter, who had fished all night in familiar waters, but had caught nothing. Christ commands him, “Duc in Altum,” that is, “push out into the deep…
and lower your nets for a catch.” Although skeptical, Peter does just as Jesus commands. Out in the deep, he catches so many fish that his nets begin to tear and his boat is in danger of sinking. Peter's astonishment is overwhelming. Christ reassures him, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men."
Peter was an ordinary man called to an extraordinary mission and who grew, by fits and starts, ever greater in the spiritual life by his ever-hopeful trust in the Lord.
Each week, and in the style of a directed retreat, Fr. Joseph Henchey and Lisa Fortini-Campbell will delve into a different dimension of Peter's growth in faith, connecting it to the vast treasure chest of Scripture and the Magisterium to show how we, too, can move further out into the deep as we follow Christ in the path of the fisherman, our first Pope.
