  • Who Is the Spirit Who Fill Us?

    When we pray for the Holy Spirit to fill us, do we know who is the One we are praying to fill us? What are we really praying for? Fr. Joseph explains that the very nature of the Spirit is humility. When we pray for the spirit to fill us, we pray for this divine humility to fill us. He also explains what this looks like in real life.

  • Words of Peace

    Fr. Joseph explains that real peace is found in Jesus Christ in how we uphold His word. Thus, the words that we speak unto others are critical in imparting divine peace unto others, because we are made to be a vessel so that Christ can transform others through our words to them.

  • The Only Place To Start

    Fr. Joseph explains that the start of the way, truth, and life is the fear God. This differs from mere honor or reverence. There are two types of fear—the first is the fear of condemnation, which helps us develop self-control and discipline, and the second is the fear of offending God, because of our love for Him. This is derived from the first kind of fear because we develop our love for God when we allow His commandments to mold us and our way of life. Tune in to hear more.

  • The Servant as a Paraclete

    Just as Christ is our Paraclete, everyone in Christ participates in His role as an advocate and intercessor. This is especially essential in the life of the servant. By his intercessory prayers, he gives salvation to the world. Fr. Joseph explains how this concept comes to life in our ministry.

  • Jesus on One Knee

    Fr. Joseph explains that when Christ met the Samaritan woman, He was essentially proposing to her, to take her as His bride. Likewise, He also proposes to us in the same way, as the Samaritan woman represents all of us, sinful humanity. And with this marriage, He forms a new covenant with us for an everlasting life.

  • The Ultimate Gift

    Fr. Joseph explains that the 3 obstacles stop us from benefiting from the Eucharist. They are ignorance, pride, and faith. So the church helps us focus on approaching communion with knowledge, humility, and faith by recognizing that the Eucharist is the ultimate sacrifice of love. Tune in to hear more.

  • The Progression of Faith

    We often fall into the extreme of normalizing or catastrophizing doubts, but there is a middle ground. Fr. Joseph explains the right way to address our doubts and highlights two important components in the progression of our faith—meditation on the lives of the saints and endurance through prayer.
