  • The Catechism in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz) - Day 76: Jesus’ Baptism and Temptation (2026)

    Together, with Fr. Mike, we examine the mysteries of Jesus' Baptism and temptation in the wilderness. Fr. Mike unpacks how Jesus’ Baptism is yet another Epiphany or manifestation of Christ as Messiah. We also explore Christ’s acceptance of his mission as God’s suffering servant. Fr. Mike emphasizes that Jesus’ temptations in the desert mirror the temptations of Adam in the garden, but, unlike Adam, Jesus does not succumb to these temptations. He remains faithful to the Father. Through this obedience to the Divine Will, he conquers the Devil, and in our own obedience, we are participating in this victory. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 535-540.

    This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

  • Beacon of Truth with Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers - Punching In Our Faith & Forgiveness
    Punch in/out is an audio and video term that originated as a recording technique used on early multitrack recordings whereby a portion of the performance was recorded onto a previously recorded tape, usually overwriting any sound that had previously been on the track used. Today Deacon Harold gives us 3 points to learn how to punch in our faith to bring forgiveness to our lives and situations. We also look into the Soulful Psalm 46:2-9 from today's mass.
