Matthew 11: 2-11

3rd Sunday of Advent!  The Pink Candle!!!!

Pierre Telliard de Chardin- Patient Trust

Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability – and that it may take a very long time. And so, I think it is with you; your ideas mature gradually – let them grow, let them shape themselves, without undue haste. Don't try to force them on, as though you could be today what time (that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will) will make of you tomorrow. Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be. Give Our Lord the benefit of believing that his hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete. - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, SJ

Luke 1: 26-38 

Guest- Maria

All Creation Waits- for her 'Yes.'

And her 'yes' was set into motion with her Immaculate Conception- the moment when her pure soul was united with her Blessed Zygote.

Bonuse Episode- 

With help from the kids!  Enjoy!

Matthew 3 : 1 - 12

Guest - Shaye Strager from Strager Style

How can we listen to the voice crying out in the desert and prepare our souls as we prepare our homes this Advent?

Let this be our advent prayer:

"God, please remove my fear so that I may be who you desire me to be."

Perfect Love casts out All Fear!

Matthew 24: 37-44

Guest- Steve Woodrough

My Sister's husband's sister's husband (did you follow that?  did you already have your coffee?) joins me today.

He's got a mug of my cider- not spiked with fireball as he's got a dinner meeting with the boss in a couple hours.

We talk alot about death.

You can't take it with you.

You know not the hour or the day.  

So cheery right?  

But as we prepare for the Savior's birth we need to look into the face of death as the Savior is destined to come as a baby, grow into a man, and overthrow the shackles of death.

Luke 23 : 35 - 43

Lectio Experiment!!!!. Join me in the Lectio Labratory with the Lectio Labradors as I embark on an experiment to see how God's Word lives and moves to me, into me, and through me every day!  

I read the same reading every day for a week and noted my responses.  And each day I woke up, the Lord met my different needs within the same passage.  

Luke 21 : 5-19

Guests Callie and Leanna

Giggle alert!  These girls are so fun and light.  Just pure joy and sunbeams in the studio.  But when we dig into the word and open our hearts it takes us by surprise and things get serious very quick.

Luke 20 : 27-38

Guest Maria the Diva

My professional singer voice coach and soon-to-be psychologist friend joins me again today to break down the question of the woman who marries seven accident prone brothers.  They are either accident prone or are chain smokers. 

Or- maybe she has a secret ingredient in her black eyed peas.

nod to "Goodbye Earl" by the Dixie Chicks.  

Luke 6:17, 20-26

REBOOT Episode- Original Episode is from Feb 13, 2022

Apologies!  The Gospel you will hear at mass is going to be Matthew's Beatitudes.  Where they are on a mountain, rather than Luke's in the plain.  

I have posted BOTH Luke's and Matthew's Beatitudes over at the website.  Hopefully I won't get fired for this!

Luke 19 : 1-10
