Episodes

  1. Jesus’ compassion challenges us to take action.

    Jesus’ feeding the five thousand must lead us from marveling at a miracle to putting into action what that miracle means.

  2. God is never miserly with His gifts.

    In Jesus’ ministry, his teachings, his miracles, even in his suffering and death, the Father’s abundant love never ceases.

  3. True friends tell us what we need to hear, not always what we want to hear.

    The Memorial of St. Catherine of Sienna reminds us of the persons God sends us who keep us on the straight and narrow.

  4. Change is a reality of life; we must embrace it, trusting that God alone is unchanging.

    Jesus tells Nicodemus that we must be born again, to allow the Spirit to renew and recreate us.

  5. By His Wounds We Are Healed

    No one is spared the pains and sorrows of life. St. Thomas found healing for his wounds by touching the wounds of Christ.

  6. Love’s vulnerability.

    Love desires what is good for the other person; it also embraces and respects his freedom.

  7. Love’s extravagance (John 12:1-11)

    Monday of Holy Week

  8. No good we do is ever done in vain.

    Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion

  9. Life is short. The time we have is brief. Have no regrets. Seize the day!

    Learning lessons from the five unwise virgins of Scripture.

  10. Heaven on Earth: When we discover that happiness has no purpose other than itself.

    On the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s Assumption into Heaven

  11. The Power of Affirmation: Strength and Courage for the Great Adventure of Life

    The Father affirms Jesus in the work he has done and in the task that still lies ahead.

  12. Take the good, leave the bad.

    Sorrow and pain are part of life. Allowing ourselves time to go through them is normal and good, but at some point Jesus invites us to “pick up our mat and walk”. And he’ll be walking with us.

  13. Childlike Wonder and Awe: Keys to Happiness Like No Other

    There’s something hidden deep in the simplicity of ordinary everyday life, something that gives a joy like no other.

  14. When the Lord Comes to Disturb Us

    We have not been called to a life of ease and complacency, but to a life of greatness.

  15. Finding Healing in Christ’s Wounds

    In touching Jesus’ wounds Thomas found healing for his own.

  16. The Disciples on the Emmaus Road and the Greatest Treasure a Christian Possesses.

    Peter and John heal a crippled beggar and two of Jesus’ disciples meet him on the road to Emmaus.

  17. Jesus called Mary by name, banishing her sorrow, removing her pain.

    When the pains and burdens of life overwhelm and even blind, listen to Jesus calling your name.

  18. God’s Empathy, Putting Ourselves in the Other’s Shoes, and Overcoming Fear

    God’s compassion, His empathy for us, is the source of our ability to put ourselves in the other’s shoes and to overcome fear itself.

  19. Today we have been set free.

    Christ is risen! The chains that have bound us are broken, the doors of the cells that have imprisoned us have swung wide open. We are free!

  20. “Take courage. I have conquered the world.” (John 26:33)

    Jesus’ death on the cross is the final unmasking of the world’s pretensions to power and greatness, revealing it to be nothing but a hollowed-out shell.

  21. Only Service, No Ambitions, No Desires for Advancement, No Schemes for Upward Mobility.

    Jesus forever transformed the meaning of power; he called it ‘service’.

  22. Genuine obedience obliterates fear.

    Jesus entered his passion without fear, and with full control, laying down his life willingly, because his will was one with the Father’s.

  23. A Morsel of Food and a Final Attempt to Save a Friend

    Jesus wasn’t just handing Judas a piece of bread, he was handing himself, if only to remind him perhaps, one last time, of their friendship.

  24. Love extravagantly, you’ll have no regrets.

    There’s an extravagance to love that is deep, passionate and complete. It is the key to having no regrets in life.

  25. God’s Vulnerability, Our Vulnerability: Reflections on the Sunday of the Lord’s Passion

    God enters fully into our lives so that nothing about us will be beyond his power to redeem.

  26. Of Kings, Thieves and Prostitutes (A Reflection on the Solemnity of Christ the King)

    Jesus turned the idea of power on its head, identifying his Kingdom with the poor, the outcast, the lost and the sinner. That’s all of us.

  27. JOY AND OUR ZEST FOR LIVING DISSIPATE WHEN WE LOSE SIGHT OF OUR ‘WHY’.

    Routine is part of life; what shouldn’t be part of it is forgetfulness of the reason and purpose of our life’s routines.

  28. FEED THE GOOD, MAGNIFY THE LIGHT: John the Baptist, Herod, Nietzsche, the Cross & our Inner Battles.

    The tragedy of Herod is that he still had a sliver of goodness in him, this is what drew him to John. But since he neither fed nor nurtured it, it was overwhelmed by darkness.

  29. NO PATH TO GROWTH EXCEPT THROUGH LIFE’S CHALLENGES

    The admonition to “enter through the narrow gate” is an invitation to see life’s challenges and hurdles as instruments God uses to build us up , strengthen us, and make us more resilient.

  30. It is what wealth often does to us that Jesus condemns and warns us against.

    Jesus condemned, not wealth, but what it often does: making us forget our utter dependence on God.

  31. HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE, AND HEAVEN IS NOW. Reflections on the Blessed Mother’s Assumption into Heaven

    Happiness isn’t something that just happens. It is something we must choose, again and again. Heaven doesn’t have to wait till we pass away. It is something we can live even today.

  32. ‘In’ the world, but not ‘of’ it: The Saint Benedict Option

    Finding a Middle Path between Isolation and Loss of Identity in a Post-Christian World

  33. Mary and the ‘Path of the Insignificant Footnote’

    Mary’s greatness lies in her willingness to be like the moon, merely reflecting the light of Jesus, the Sun.

  34. Service: The Only Language of Power Jesus Spoke to His Disciples

    “If I your Master washed your feet, so must you wash one another’s feet. As I have done, so must you do.” (John 13:14-15)

  35. To understand St. Thomas’ thought is to understand how the Catholic ‘mind’ works.

    A very brief look into the mind of a titan of the Catholic intellectual and spiritual life.

  36. Learning to bend our will to the Lord’s is a journey of a lifetime.

    On the Damascus road, Jesus speaks to Saul, teaching him the meaning of true obedience.

  37. Finding value in the old, the new, and everything in between.

    Jesus speaks of new wine and old wine skins, old cloaks and new cloth.

  38. Look for God in the simple and ordinary; you’re sure to find Him there.

    Jesus changes water into wine at Cana

  39. Don’t calculate. Leap!

    Jesus calls Levi the tax collector who leaves everything and follows.

  40. People always mattered more to Jesus, not programs, projects, policies or schemes.

    Jesus heals a paralytic.

  41. Be true to yourself; God would have it no other way.

    Jesus heals, teaches and speaks with authority.

  42. Overcoming Procrastination

    Jesus begins his public ministry

  43. Take the leap, God will be there to catch you.

    Jesus is baptized and begins his public ministry.

  44. Never begrudge others their gifts, lest you lose sight of your own.

    John the Baptist’s disciples ask him about Jesus.

  45. Prayer is simply talking to the Lord, and listening to Him talking to us.

    Jesus heals a leper, then withdraws to pray.

  46. Cynicism and jadedness are the greatest enemies of our mission in life.

    Jesus returns to his hometown to begin his life’s mission.

  47. Thoughtfulness and empathy: hallmarks of true Christian discipleship.

    Jesus’ amazing concern and care for his disciples.

  48. It’s the size of the heart that gives that counts.

    Jesus feeds five thousand with five loaves and two fish.

  49. The “Dark Side” of the Immanuel Prophecy: A Warning in the Promise

    A quick look at the original prophecy in Isaiah.

  50. Finding God where he loves to veil Himself.
