Number 3: The Poverty No One Sees: Mother Teresa’s Call to Love | Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC
On the Memorial of St. Teresa of Calcutta, Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC, reflected on our Christian call to hear the cry of the poor; especially those whose suffering goes unnoticed. Mother Teresa left her life as a teacher to answer God’s call to serve the “poorest of the poor” in India. She began simply: teaching children by drawing letters in the sand, caring for orphans, and giving dignity and love to those dying on the streets. Her witness reminds us that poverty is not only the lack of material necessities. One of the deepest forms of poverty is to feel unnoticed, abandoned, forgotten, and unloved. Her response was simple: serve one person at a time, doing little things with great love. Fr. Anthony invited us to consider how easily we complain about what we lack while others struggle for life’s basic necessities. To hear their suffering, we must empty ourselves so the Lord can fill us with His grace and make room in our hearts for others. Mother Teresa’s joyful witness inspired women from around the world to join the Missionaries of Charity and continue serving the poor. Her legacy was deeply rooted in prayer. After her death, her sisters gathered around her tomb and prayed to the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, recognizing a call to bring this prayer to the poorest of the poor. Her life challenges us to see the forgotten, approach them with love, pray with them, and allow Christ’s mercy to transform lives, one person at a time.

Number 4: Peter the Fisherman: A Lesson in Humility, Trust, and Mission
In today’s homily, Scott Foley reflected on Peter’s profound act of humility. Although Peter was an experienced fisherman, he allowed Jesus—a carpenter—to guide him in something Peter knew very well. Peter felt unworthy, yet he trusted Jesus, who led him with patience and calm. The boat can also symbolize the Church, where Christ accompanies and guides us. Scott Foley reminded us that Jesus chose Peter to be the rock and leader of His Church. Peter’s experience as a fisherman became part of his mission to bring others to the Lord. In the same way, Jesus wants to use our life experiences, talents, and even our weaknesses, making us instruments to guide others closer to Him. ★ Support this podcast ★

Number 5: The Mission Statement of Jesus | Fr. Tyler Mentzer, MIC
In today’s homily, Fr. Tyler Mentzer, MIC reflects on the mission statement of Christ. Jesus inaugurates His public mission by proclaiming the words of the prophet Isaiah, revealing that He has been sent to bring the Good News, freedom, healing, and salvation. His words announce not only who He is, but also the mission He has come to fulfill. Jesus then demonstrates the power and authority of His Word. He commands demons and they obey; He speaks and those suffering from sickness and disease are healed. The fruits of His words reveal that the Gospel is not merely a message to be heard; it carries divine power that liberates, heals, and transforms lives. Watch today’s homily and discover how Christ’s mission continues to speak with power and transform our lives today.
