Father Mike's Podcast

Third Sunday of Advent: "Gaudete tells us to rejoice. How do we rejoice with or without earthly happiness? What is the difference between Christian joy and worldly happiness?"

Second Sunday of Advent: "Advent is all about repentance and preparation. How can we do that? Prayer and conversion go hand in hand."

33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time: "With unsettled times what is changing and what doesn't change. More importantly, as Christians, how do we navigate rooted yet flexible at peace knowing who we are, what we are about, and how we are to live."

32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time: "The Sadducees not only denied the resurrection but were comfortable living under that false reality even when Jesus opens the door to something much greater. How do we do a similar thing in our own faith?"

29th Sunday in Ordinary Time: "Jesus tells a parable about the persistent widow. There is a reason. Persistent prayer and action forms the basis for a life of faith."

25th Sunday in Ordinary Time: "Jesus tells a parable about a crook. Instead of condemning him, he points out a compliment. Why?"

23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time: "Completing the work and counting the cost includes blessing as well as the cross. Why would we want to sign up for this? That's what love does."

21st Sunday in Ordinary Time: "What the Olympics and Jesus can teach us about being a true disciple, seeking wisdom, and integrating your calling."

The Feast of Saints Peter and Paul: "The lives of Saints Peter and Paul tell us something about the greatness of our Lord and His Gospel. Why did they give their lives for the Gospel? What can their rootedness in Jesus and his message inspire us to do?"

Christ the King: "On the feast of Christ the King we can ask who should be sitting on the throne? We might know that it is Jesus' throne but we often place ourselves on that seat. How can we allow Jesus the Kingship he deserves?"
