Fr. Steve Mateja's Podcasts

What does the Transfiguration mean for me...for us? We first have to know what Jesus was discussing just before the Transfiguration before we know what it means for us then we can see that it is a paramount feast for us all--because we all have our Crosses to bear.  

The devil is on the prowl and he has only one mission to destroy us.  How would we react in our temptation against the devil and his assaults?  Fight back?  Run?  Use logic and reason?  Jesus has one particular way He wants us to combat temptation.

The Lord wanted the entire congregation to hear the same pre-Lenten theme of sacrificing our tongues and speech this Lent, so Fr. Steve preached a similar homily from the week before.  St. Paul's letter to the Corinthians has nothing to do really with marriage, though we often assert that it does.  It is actually a rebuke telling us to love.  Do we love?  As we approach Lent the challenge is to sacrifice more than sweets, but our foul mouths and our gossip.  We must love!

On the feast of St. Agnes we also come together as a group of men to begin our journey into Men's Ministry. Coincidence? Absolutely not! Agnes shows us two things: 1) how to Love Jesus with out hesitancy; and 2) how to live purely. Let's beg this 12 year old girl to teach us to be better men.
