"La palabra de Dios es mucho más verdadera y grande de la verdad lógicamente, o científicamente. Es un libro de la palabra de Dios. Es misterio, es profundo, y dice mucho más aparte de las cosas científicas," nos dice Padre Perry D. Leiker, párroco, para nuestro décimo octavo episodio de nuestro podcast de homilías dominicales, para nuestra celebración del Domingo de Pascua de La Resurrección del Señor. "Los evangelistas escribieron los evangelios por nosotros. Que podemos identificar con Juan, con Maria, con Pedro. Y ¿cuál es nuestra conclusión? ¿Qué creemos nosotros?"

"For us as Catholics, as Christians, we celebrate mystery," Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor, tells us for the 18th episode of our Sunday Homilies podcast, for our celebration of Easter Sunday. "We're not afraid of it. We don't run from it. We believe in Jesus the Christ. We believe that he came to destroy the power of sin and death. And how he did that, for me, is very simple."

"This word of God challenges us to see it in a very explicit way today, and to recognize that something very sacred is being told to us in this Passion, something very full of mystery," Father Perry tells us for our celebration of Good Friday of the Lord's Passion. "When we look up at this cross, if we can't say 'thank you,' then I think we've missed the point."

"So on this night, as we celebrate for the first time the Last Supper, and we celebrate this gift to us of his presence — his Spiritual presence — as food for our spirit," Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor, tells us for our celebration of the Holy Thursday Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper. "It leads us perfectly up to this event tomorrow — the crucifixion and death of the Lord. And even more gloriously to the event on Sunday — our celebration of Easter."

"We're all supposed to be light. We're all supposed to give the light; that's our call, that's when God has made us in his holiness," Father Perry tells us for the 19th and final episode of St. Bernard's Lenten podcast, for our celebration of Tuesday of Holy Week. "But beware, because there's also darkness. And so we play with these two themes of light and darkness. And it's so central to this Holy Week."

"What would conquer that sin would be love and forgiveness. Intuitively, it seems to me, that's what this suffering servant image gives to us," Father Perry tells us for the 18th episode of our Lenten podcast, and our celebration of Monday of Holy Week. "Jesus will wash the feet ... to give a model and example of service. You must wash the feet of everyone."

"We believe that in that hatred and justice and sinfulness, that a good man, a just man — a man of truth, a man who would call himself Son of God — would end up like this," Father Perry tells us for the 17th episode of our Lenten podcast, for our celebration of Friday of the Fifth Sunday of Lent. "We immerse ourselves deeply into this mystery of the cross, so that we can just as deeply experience the power of the resurrection."

"What indignity — taking the thing that he had preached about daily to them about the kingdom of God, and making fun even of that," Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor, tells us for the 16th episode of our Sunday Homilies podcast, and our celebration of Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion. "So they crucified him. And then as he's hanging on a cross, they couldn't stop mocking him."
