"Without your financial support, we will be unable to sustain our ministry," Father Rafal Kipigroch of Apostolic Vicariate of San Jose del Amazonas, in the Peruvian jungle, tells us for the 31st episode of our Sunday Homilies podcast. "The Amazon for us is a beautiful place, a remote area thriving with God's people, who are hungry to hear the work of God and to receive the sacraments."

"Yo creo que cuando estamos preocupados por problemas, Dios no puede entrar. Es casi imposible. Estamos preocupados por nosotros mismos," nos dice Padre Perry D. Leiker, párroco, para nuestro trigésimo episodio de nuestro podcast de homilías dominicales, para nuestra celebración del XIV Domingo Ordinario. "Pero cuando estamos relajando, o descansando, jugando, estamos abiertos."

"We are the little ones who Jesus is taking care of. We are the learned who has given us the potential and ability to perfect our lives and increase opportunities," Father L. Nilo Mangussad tells us for the 30th episode of our Sunday Homilies podcast. "But primarily we are children of God our Father, waiting for us to come back to him, thank him, establish our wonderful gift with him, because we are grateful for all the opportunities given to us. We are bestowed with this wonderful gift of life — how do we live it on earth?"

"And that's what Jesus wants — our attention. Especially when it comes to living the Gospel — his Gospel," Father Perry tells us for the 29th episode of our Sunday Homilies podcast. "Because he knows that his Gospel gives life. And he loves to speak in paradoxes: To have your life, you have to lose your life. If you want to receive, you have to give. And in speaking what seems like opposites, we discover in that the Gospel. When we learn that process of dying and rising, and we let go, and we discover more."

"On this great solemnity of Peter and Paul, where we get these wonderful little snapshots of faith and life," Father Perry tells us for our celebration of the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, apostles. "For us to stop today, sometime, and see what we can appreciate in our lives and in our lives of faith, and how God maybe is really there for us."

"Not having fear is an essential component of faith. If we have fear, then we're probably trusting less," Father Perry tells us for the 28th episode of our Sunday Homilies podcast, for our celebration of the 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time. "But if our fear gets blocked or erased or lessened because we have trust, then we're really responding to God's call and especially to Jesus. And in the living of our lives, if we show no fear, we show great trust, we live love, then it seems to me we're catching Jesus is about."

"Sí no vamos amar a nuestro prójimo, que vamos hacer — vivir con odio y maldad dentro de nosotros?" nos dice Padre Perry D. Leiker, párroco, para nuestro vigésimo séptimo episodio de nuestro podcast de homilías dominicales, para nuestra celebración del XI Domingo Ordinario. "Él quiere que nosotros podamos recibir su amor, su gracia, y salir de aquí y hacer su bondad en él mundo."

"God cannot do anything but love — he's immutable," Father Perry tells us for the 27th episode of our Sunday Homilies podcast, for our celebration of the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time. "Do you think any of you or all of us combined can make God get upset? Really? God loves us through our 'terrible twos.'"
