Fr. Daniel focuses on a major detail from the parable of the Sower. He focuses on the Sower rather than the soil. The Sower (God) did not plant seed on just the good soil, He distributed the seeds everywhere, so that all soil had a chance to receive His seed. He wanted to save all of us sinners, in our brokenness, without requiring us to be ready before we receive His grace. His Grace is what transforms our hearts, and with it, we are able to spread His word to others in the same loving manner. Tune in to hear more.

Fr. Joseph explains how critical it is to read the Scriptures daily. Just as we cannot survive without food or water and make time for it every single day, we must also make time to sit with God, read His word, and get our spiritual sustenance that is necessary for our spiritual survival. Recognizing our need for Scriptures depends on our humility and our awareness that we cannot do things on our own, but that we must rely on God’s will to direct our life. Tune in to hear more.

Fr. Antony illustrates how we can find true rest in God with three metaphorical pillows:

Pillow 1- God know
Pillow 2- God cares
Pillow 3- God can

We can rest easy knowing that these pillows are all we need to receive comfort and guidance from God in everything we do. Tune in to hear more.

Fr. Daniel explains that the annunciation began the process of our salvation and that salvation is the idea of becoming one with God. Salvation is not a destination, but a journey. He emphasizes that just as the angel told St. Mary not to fear because God was with her, we too should rejoice and not fear for God is with us every step of the way. Tune in to hear more about how God calls us to be and what we need to remember on our journey of salvation.

Fr. Joseph explains that in order for us to truly see Christ, we must climb the sycamore tree. Climbing the sycamore tree symbolizes climbing the cross, going above the world and taking the harder road with humility, just like Zacchaeus, who subjected himself to the mockery and humiliation of society as he climbed the sycamore tree. We must also take the same path of humility in order to see Christ clearly and directly. Tune in to hear more.

Fr. Joseph shows us that we must become like children in order to have God's mysteries revealed to us. We must be inquisitive and read to know more about God, we must be more open and allow ourselves to experience God, and we must be comfortable in sharing God’s work in our life.

Fr. David explains how we can bear insults:

1. Patience
2. Spiritual Strength
3. Love the Accuser

We also need to avoid the urge to defend ourselves and to get angry with our accusers. Instead, put it in the hands of God and discuss with your father of confession. And always reflect inwardly so that you can use this to refine our spiritual life.
