The Posse will discuss Matthew’s reading for the 3rd Sunday of Ordinary Time, Chapter 4, verses 12-23. In this reading Jesus withdraws from his home in Nazareth after John the Baptist’s arrest to Galilee to fulfill Isaiah’s prophecy from the first reading. He begins to preach and gather the core of his Apostles and make them ‘fishers of men.’ After that, we have a Potpourii of Topics that we missed during the Christmas season.

With Fr. Denis’ time with us coming to a close with his farewell Mass, we are going to re-air his farewell interview again.

Please enjoy this encore episode of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit that originally aired in Episode 14.

The busy Advent / Pre-Christmas season has prevented the priests and host from recording a new show, so this week, we are featuring some local and commercial Christmas music.

We’ll be reading Matthew’s Gospel for Fourth Sunday of Advent, Chapter 1, verses 18-24. In this reading, we continue with an imprisoned John the Baptist asking if Jesus is the one who is to come. Jesus confirms that John is more than a prophet – saying John is a messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way yet there are higher pursuits. Tonight we’ll also pray the Joyful Mystery of the Rosary in honor of Jesus’ childhood.

(Christmas schedules did not allow us to get together to record a new show so enjoy this solo episode.)
