"What a wedding feast this will be! And we apply it ourselves," Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor, tells us for the eighth episode of our Sunday Homilies podcast, for our celebration of the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time. "We're at that wedding feast, and Jesus wants to give us the super abundance of love on this great moment. It's why we come here, to this feast. Eat this bread of life."

"It's about the Baptism of the Lord. It's so essential and significant if we relate it to our own baptism," Father Reynaldo B. Matunog of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Los Angeles tells us for the second episode of our Divine Mercy podcast, for our celebration of the Baptism of the Lord. "And it becomes significant and very important if we relate it to our own baptism. In fact — we should really call to mind, and even in our heart — the meaning and the value of the sacrament of baptism that we receive which is so connected on this Baptism of the Lord."

"Do we believe? Are we convinced that the commandments of God, this commandment of love, is already in us, is already in our mouths, is already in our hearts? Do we?" Father Reynaldo B. Matunog tells us for the seventh episode of our Divine Mercy podcast, for our celebration of the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time. "It can be you and me. Whoever it is in need, and whoever has the opportunity, to help to assist, to become more compassionate and merciful."

"We are baptized. And what really destroys us, as we know, in that bond that we have with the Lord and with God, is basically the evil of sin," Father Reynaldo B. Matunog tells us for the fourth episode of our Divine Mercy podcast, for our celebration of the Third Sunday of Lent. "And that is why if we are talking about water to satisfy our thirst and being able to live. Because water is life — not only for us, but even for creation, the environment, the plants, and all this. But also for cleansing. And that's really important, at that satisfaction that we have when we have that thirst and being able to drink water. And it can be physical or brotherly, or spiritual. They are so profound in all this that we see. For us to sustain our life and have that satisfaction that only the Lord can give, we have to know him, knowing the source of this living source. And above all, cleansing us of our sins."
