Beloved Son Ministry Show
by Beloved Son Ministry
Join the Beloved Son Ministry as we journey to rediscover who we really are and how much we are incredibly loved not because of what we can do, what we have, or what others say about us, but because we are simply us. We are called the beloved. Let’s get to know the One who calls out to us.

Preparing an Account of Our Stewardship — Reflection for the 25th Week in OT
Twenty-Fifth Week in Ordinary Time Today we are invited to examine our lives and how we have spent our time. What does the account of our stewardship look like? Have we been faithful stewards and safeguarding God’s creation or have we been unfaithful ones, squandering the gifts God has given to us?

Laborers for the Harvest - Reflection for 14th Week of OT
In the first reading today we hear from Third Isaiah, where we hear about the Israelites coming back from Exile. They find themselves face-to-face with a Jerusalem that is no longer recognizable.

Free from the Yoke — Reflection for the 13th Week in OT
In this Sunday’s readings, there is a common theme of “yokes.” Elisha’s yokes of oxen. St. Paul’s reference to the yoke of slavery. Jesus’ analogy of placing one’s hand on the plow and looking back. These yokes can be likened to the attachments that hold us back and keep up from following the…

Gift of the Eucharist — Reflection for Corpus Christi Sunday
Today the Church celebrates “Corpus Christi Sunday” or the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. As Catholics we believe that the Eucharist is not simply a symbol of Jesus’s body or that it is merely a reminder of what Jesus did for us. Rather, the Eucharist, the...

Receive the Spirit — Reflection for Pentecost Sunday
“Peace be with you,” “As the Father has sent me, so I send you,” “Receive the Holy Spirit” are three phrases that Jesus spoke to the disciples when they were hiding behind locked doors for fear of the Jews. Yet, Jesus appeared to them and spoke with them. Weeks later, the disciples along with…

Being a Fisher of Men — Reflection for the Third Sunday of Easter
"I am going fishing" said St. Peter, and the other disciples who were there said "We also will come with you." At this point, Jesus had appeared to the Apostles several times already. They were no longer hiding in the locked room. But instead of spreading the Good News that Jesus had risen from…

Holy Week Retreat 2022 — Day 7 — Holy Saturday
Our Lord’s body was taken down from the Cross and placed in a tomb by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, two devout Jews and Pharisees. On this day, the earth stood still, waiting for the gates of the place of the dead to be broken so that the souls of the just may be ushered up by the Lord.…

Holy Week Retreat 2022 — Day 6 — Good Friday
After being arrested, struck, questioned, sentenced, Our Lord was led to the praetorium to be scourged. He was then mocked by being crowned with a crown of thorns, dressed in a purple cloak and given a reed. Little did the soldiers know that they were truly crowning a King, a King who was chosen…

Holy Week Retreat 2022 — Day 5 — Holy Thursday
At the Last Supper Our Lord instituted the Eucharist and the Priesthood, leaving unto us the Church and a share in His inheritance. This moment was foreshadowed in the Passover when the LORD God spared the Israelites the death of their first born by the blood of an one-year old unblemished lamb....
-
Holy Week Retreat 2022 — Day 4 Wednesday of Holy Week
Although the Suffering Servant has been given a well-trained tongue, he does not rebel or argue. He doesn’t even shield his face from “buffets and spitting.” Perhaps in his heart, the Suffering Servant is uttering the prayer of the Psalmist, “In your great love, Lord, answer me” because he knows...
-
Holy Week Retreat 2022 — Day 3 Tuesday of Holy Week
The Suffering Servant is spoken of as a sharp-edged sword and who through him Israel will be gathered once again. He will also be a light to the nations, the Light that will bring about the salvation of the world. But not without betrayal and suffering, even at the hands of the Lord’s own…

Holy Week Retreat 2022 — Day 2 Monday of Holy Week

Holy Week Retreat 2022 — Day 1 Palm Sunday
Our Lord enters triumphantly as a king, perhaps to the Jews the long awaited Messiah who will restore the Davidic Kingdom on earth. The Jewish leaders tell Jesus to rebuke His followers, but He refuses, saying that if they will not cry out, the stones will. Our Lord enters triumphantly into the...
-
Question of Faith — Reflection for the Fifth Week of Lent
When Jesus was told that His friend, Lazarus was dying, instead of running straight to seem him, He stayed where He was at for a few more days. This does not sound like the compassionate and loving Jesus that we know. Why does He do that? When He finally arrives, Martha, one of Lazarus’ sisters…

Meeting Jesus at the Well Conference 3 — Abandonment and Life
After speaking with and listening to Jesus, the Samaritan woman left her water jar and went into town. The whole reason she went to the well at noon was to draw water, and now she doesn’t even take her water jar with her. What happened? What was it that Jesus said that made her abandon her water...

Run to the Father — Reflection for the Fourth Week of Lent
The Parable of the Prodigal Son is perhaps one of the most famous parables in Luke’s Gospel. It tells the story of a father and two sons. One asks for his share of the inheritance and goes away.

Drawing Close — Reflection for the Third Week of Lent

-
Who Are You? — Reflection for the First Week of Lent
On the First Sunday of Lent the Church always proclaims the passage of the Temptations of the Lord by the devil. There is a reason for this. The devil attacks on something that is crucial — Jesus’ identity, but Jesus knows who He is and so remains steadfast. Do we know who we are?
-

-
Love that Lasts — Reflection for the Sixth Week of Easter
Sixth Week of Easter We celebrated Mother’s Day today and we heard the beautiful readings about God’s love for us at Sunday Mass. In many ways a mother’s love reflects God’s love, a love that isn’t dependent upon being loved back or any other factors. In other words, God’s love is unconditional.…

Remaining Grafted onto Christ - Reflection for the Fifth Week of Easter
Fifth Week of Easter Jesus implores us to remain in Him as He remains in us. What does it mean to remain? Does it mean to simply keep going to church and making sure the pews are filled? To remain does not mean to passively sit idle. Remaining is really an active participation. But how so? Will…
