Fr. Steve Mateja's Podcasts

Fr. Steve continues his preaching series on the Sacraments--today on Holy Priesthood.  The priest is the great mediator between God and Man.  Pray for your priests!  

Continuing our preching series, Fr. Steve preached on Corpus Christi this week and answered the Question: "why is it that only Catholics can receieve Holy Communion?" And then spoke about how we can love Jesus where He is most unloved.  

Looking at the entirety of John 6

Why Baptism? What happens at Baptism?  Who can Baptize?  This is the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity, Fr. Steve begins a preaching series opening up with Baptism and helping us understand the importance of this Sacrament.  

Trinity one in three; three in one!  How do the scriptures show the fulfillment of Jesus in the Trinity? God both Transcendent and Immanent all at the same time!  

Did you know the Feast of Pentecost was/is actually been a Jewish feast day?  Two points to reflect on: a math problem and chcoloate Milk.  

Pentecost vs Shavott. The 50th vs the Weeks.  49+1.  The fullment of Passover is Pentecost. The fulfillment of Easter is Pentecost!  

Jesus tells us He will send us the Advocate when He leaves us and will not leave us orphans!  The Paraklete is the one who Stands Beside another!  

The Holy Spirit was present at the beginning, during and will be at the end of time.  You know what else was present at the beginning the end and with Jesus at the center of His ministry?--Motherhood!
