Rich Thoughts episodes
- #160 - 23rd Wednesday in OT (II) / Holy Name of MaryAt Blessed John XXIII Parish, Knoxville. Combing the Holy Name of Mary with 1 Corinthians 7:25-31 and Psalm 45. (Hint: the readings were NOT chosen to celebrate the feast!) What do we make of Paul's rather strange advice about marriage?5 min
- #159 - 23rd Sunday in OT (B)At Blessed John XXIII Parish, Knoxville. Catholics are supposed to engage in the political process, but every party platform contains planks that are not consonant with Catholic teaching. What are we to do? Ephphatha! Isaiah 35:4-7, Mark 7:31-37.9 min
- #158 - 22nd Wednesday in OT (II)At Blessed John XXIII Parish, Knoxville. Using 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 and Luke 4:38-44 as a springboard to explore the need to encourage "spiritual seekers" to keep growing in their faith.5 min
- #157 - 21st Thursday in OT (II)At Knoxville Catholic High School. Stay awake (Matthew 24:42-51), because St. Paul's greeting to the Corinthians is a prelude to some serious stuff! (Hint: in Roman times, it was not a compliment to say that someone "acted like a Corinthian"!)4 min
- #156 - Beheading of John the BaptistAt Blessed John XXIII Parish, Knoxville. One of best-known, tragic, bizarre stories of the Bible and world literature (Mark 6:17-29). What does it teach us about Christian discipleship? Perhaps it's all in the timing…5 min
- #155 - 21st Tuesday in OT (II) / AugustineAt Knoxville Catholic High School. Hypocrisy in high school, in the Church, and in ourselves (Matthew 23:23-26). Perhaps St. Augustine's Eucharistic theology can help!4 min

- #152 - Assumption of the Blessed Virgin MaryAt Blessed John XXIII Parish, Knoxville. What is the Solemnity of the Assumption really about? (Hint: it's not "Up, Up, and Away.") Homily based on Revelation 11:19; 12:1-6, 10 and 1 Corinthians 15:20-27.8 min
