In this week’s episode, Fr. Allain Caparas reflects on the readings from Exodus 17, 2 Timothy 3, and Luke 18 — uncovering two essential lessons for our spiritual lives: supporting one another and trusting in God’s timing.

From Moses’ arms being held high by Aaron and Hur, to the widow who refused to stop knocking, we’re reminded that faith isn’t a solo effort. In a world divided by labels and hurry, God calls us to lift each other up — patiently, prayerfully, and persistently.

Listen now and be encouraged to keep praying, keep trusting, and keep holding each other up.

In this Sunday reflection, Fr. Allain shares insights inspired by Luke 17:11–19 — the story of the ten lepers and the one foreigner who returned to give thanks. Speaking fresh from his cousin’s wedding, he explores how gratitude deepens faith, heals the heart, and slows the soul in a world that moves too fast.

Drawing from Scripture, the wisdom of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, and the reality of life in today’s divided world, this episode invites listeners to rediscover the beauty of being Catholic first — grateful always, faithful still, and rooted in the Eucharist, the Church’s ultimate act of thanksgiving.

On this Respect Life Sunday, Fr. Allain Caparas reflects on St. Paul’s powerful words from 2 Timothy: “God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but of power, love, and self-control.” In a world often clouded by fear, confusion, and despair, this episode calls Catholics to courage—to stand up for life with faith and conviction.

Fr. Allain explores how defending life begins with faith in the midst of darkness, how the Gospel calls us to do what we are obliged to do, and why a consistent ethic of life must begin with the unborn. He also offers practical ways to promote a culture of life—from supporting mothers and families to showing kindness in everyday moments.

n this episode, we reflect on the sobering parable of the rich man and Lazarus alongside the warnings of the prophet Amos. What does it mean to see the poor not as strangers, but as children of God? How can the Eucharist re-shape our vision of generosity and compassion? Join us as we explore how remembering the poor may, as Scripture says, “cover a multitude of sins” and lead us closer to the heart of Christ.

In this Catechetical Sunday homily, we reflect on the sacred task of forming children in the way of Christ. Drawing from Amos, St. Paul, and the Gospel of Luke, this message challenges us to be stewards of souls, to pray for those we teach, and to live as joyful witnesses of faith.

In this episode, Father Caparas reflects on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross. Drawing on Scripture, the wisdom of the saints, and recent tragic events — including the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the violence that continues to scar our nation — he shows how the venom of hatred and sin poisons hearts and communities. But there is an antidote: Christ lifted high on the Cross. The Eucharist becomes the medicine that heals, strengthens, and restores us to hope. Join us as we lift high the Cross, the true remedy for a world in need of healing.

In this episode, Fr. Cappy reflects on the anniversary of September 11, recalling his vivid memories as a teacher in northern New Jersey—just miles from the World Trade Center. From the smoke rising over Manhattan to the silent compassion shared with a survivor, he recounts both the worst and the best of humanity. He then connects these memories to the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, weaving in the words of Kirk’s pastor, Rob McCoy: “Evil has not prevailed and it will not win.” This episode is a call to remember with compassion, reject hate, and live with courage in Christ—the One who conquers death and gives true hope.

In this episode, Fr. Allain reflects on the Gospel call to renounce possessions and embrace simplicity. With stories of moving boxes, monks without furniture, and the wisdom of Fr. Anthony Manuppella (“I’ve yet to see a U-Haul behind a hearse”), we explore how living simply frees us to follow Christ more fully. Drawing from John Mark Comer’s The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, we’ll consider how to declutter our homes, hearts, and schedules so that we can make room for what really matters—God, people, and love. The Eucharist, in its profound simplicity of bread and wine, reminds us that in Christ we already have everything.

In this episode, we explore the virtue of humility through the Sunday readings from Sirach, Hebrews, and the Gospel of Luke. Humility is not thinking less of ourselves but thinking of ourselves less — living with the freedom of knowing we don’t need to be the smartest, strongest, or always right. We’ll reflect on how pride creeps in when we refuse to give others the benefit of the doubt, how clinging to anger poisons the soul, and why prayer is never inaction but the deepest form of transformation. Drawing insight from John Mark Comer’s The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry and Msgr. Stephen Rossetti’s Diary of an American Exorcist, we’ll see how humility slows us down, opens us to grace, and leads us to the Eucharist — the greatest act of humility, where God becomes least so that we may be lifted up.

In this special episode, Fr. Cappy reflects on the heartbreaking mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis and the urgent call to prayer. While some dismiss prayer as “insufficient,” the truth is that prayer heals, strengthens, and propels us into action.
