Is there somewhere in your life today where you need to surrender a bit more?

The challenge is not to become salt or light but rather to recognize that you are salt and light and live it.

Jesus comes to us with such humility that we can receive Him into our own hands and hearts

John 3:16-18God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,so that everyone who believes in him might not perishbut might have eternal life.For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,but that the world might be saved through him.Whoever believes in him will not be condemned,but whoever does not believe has already been condemned,because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

All we have is a great gift from God.

St. Joan of Arc, Virgin, Martyr (Optional Memorial)

Stay close to Christ so our hearts become more like His

John 20:19-23On the evening of that first day of the week,when the doors were locked, where the disciples were,for fear of the Jews,Jesus came and stood in their midstand said to them, "Peace be with you."When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you.As the Father has sent me, so I send you."And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,"Receive the Holy Spirit.Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,and whose sins you retain are retained."

The Readings for Today's Homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/reading...Father Mark Baron, MIC, reflects on John 17:11b-19, where Jesus prays that His disciples may be consecrated in truth. To be consecrated means to be made holy — set apart for God's will. Through Baptism, Christ gives us a supernatural life and calls us to respond with our own “yes” to the Father, living in love, truth, and surrender to the Word of God. ★ Support this podcast ★

On this episode I spoke with Mr. Thomas Fickley and Fr. Mark Perkins, the founders of St. Dunstan's Academy in Virginia. St. Dunstan's is an Anglican boarding school for your men that started three years ago. They emphasize helping young men grow spiritually, intellectually, and physically through daily prayer, classical education, and the physical labor of working with their hands.  We talked about the foundation of St. Dunstan's, why co-ed schools make learning difficult, the symbiotic relationship of the liberal arts with the common arts, and why learning is more than acquiring facts.  St. Dunstan's Academy Articles by Thomas Fickley and Fr.

St. Margaret of Cortona, III Order (Memorial)

John 14:1-12Jesus said to his disciples:"Do not let your hearts be troubled.You have faith in God; have faith also in me.In my Father's house there are many dwelling places.If there were not,would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?And if I go and prepare a place for you,I will come back again and take you to myself,so that where I am you also may be.Where I am going you know the way."Thomas said to him,"Master, we do not know where you are going;how can we know the way?"Jesus said to him, I am the way and the truth and the life.No one comes to the Father except through me.If you know me, then you will also know my Father.From now on you do know him and have seen him."Philip said to him,"Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us."Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you for so long a timeand you still do not know me, Philip?Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own.The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me,or else, believe because of the works themselves.Amen, amen, I say to you,whoever believes in me will do the works that I do,and will do greater ones than these,because I am going to the Father."

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/050326.cfmFather Mark Baron, MIC, explains that Jesus is not merely a guide to the truth,  but rather He is the Truth itself, the eternal Word of God who also reveals the inner logic and coherence of reality. Father Mark contrasts this with contradictory, incoherent “square circle” ideas about God, urging believers to conform their minds to the intelligible truth of Christ and to what this reveals about the logical order of the universe in order to fully trust reason and flourish in life. By entrusting our entire lives to Jesus, we align ourselves with the divine order that allows us to reason, flourish, and perform greater works.⭐️ Support our Ministries: https://www.thedivinemercy.org/donate?source=YT✝️ Explore Divine Mercy on Divine Mercy Plus! https://divinemercyplus.org/?source=YT⛪️ Plan Your Visit to the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy!https://www.shrineofdivinemercy.org/?source=YTFollow Us on Social Media!   

St. Joseph the Worker (Optional Memorial)

John 10:1-10Jesus said:"Amen, amen, I say to you,whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gatebut climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber.But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice,as the shepherd calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.When he has driven out all his own,he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him,because they recognize his voice.But they will not follow a stranger;they will run away from him,because they do not recognize the voice of strangers."Although Jesus used this figure of speech,the Pharisees did not realize what he was trying to tell them.So Jesus said again, "Amen, amen, I say to you,I am the gate for the sheep.All who came before me are thieves and robbers,but the sheep did not listen to them.I am the gate.Whoever enters through me will be saved,and will come in and go out and find pasture.A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy;I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly."

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/042826.cfmFather Mark Baron, MIC, teaches us that, as the Good Shepherd, Christ governs us with gentleness, calling us to cultivate humble hearts capable of hearing His voice. Father Baron highlights today's liturgical Feast of St. Louis de Montfort, explaining how true devotion to Mary forms Christ in us so that we may better follow the Shepherd and avoid spiritual danger. By entrusting ourselves to Our Lady, we secure our place in the Father's hands and Heart, helping to ensure we remain faithful to the Sacraments, on the path to eternal life.⭐️ Support our Ministries: https://www.thedivinemercy.org/donate?source=YT✝️ Explore Divine Mercy on Divine Mercy Plus! https://divinemercyplus.org/?source=YT⛪️ Plan Your Visit to the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy!https://www.shrineofdivinemercy.org/?source=YTFollow Us on Social Media!   

When we act as good shepherds, the world begins to change.

Christ is the voice that leads to life and we need to follow Him and listen to Him daily.

The truth of Easter is revealed in God's deliverance and bringing forth His kingdom.

St. Conrad of Parzham, Capuchin, Religious (Memorial)

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/042126.cfmFather Mark Baron, MIC, guides us through John chapter 6, revealing how Jesus identifies Himself as the true Bread of Life who satisfies our deepest hunger and thirst. This Eucharistic discourse calls us to continual belief — a faith perfected by charity and nurtured through the Sacraments of Baptism and the Eucharist. As St. Stephen witnessed unto death, our trust in God's words allows us to abide in Him, finding perfection in the Blessed Sacrament, where Jesus truly is present.⭐️ Support our Ministries: https://www.thedivinemercy.org/donate?source=pod✝️ Explore Divine Mercy on Divine Mercy Plus! https://divinemercyplus.org/?source=pod⛪️ Plan Your Visit to the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy!https://www.shrineofdivinemercy.org/?source=podFollow Us on Social Media!

04/12/26 Fr Mark Owdeesh - 2nd Sunday of the Resurrection (English) by St. Peter's Chaldean Catholic Diocese

John 20:19-31On the evening of that first day of the week,when the doors were locked, where the disciples were,for fear of the Jews,Jesus came and stood in their midstand said to them, “Peace be with you.”When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you.As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,“Receive the Holy Spirit.Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,and whose sins you retain are retained.”Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve,was not with them when Jesus came.So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”But he said to them,“Unless I see the mark of the nails in his handsand put my finger into the nailmarksand put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”Now a week later his disciples were again insideand Thomas was with them.Jesus came, although the doors were locked,and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.”Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands,and bring your hand and put it into my side,and do not be unbelieving, but believe.”Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!”Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me?Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”Now, Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciplesthat are not written in this book.But these are written that you may come to believethat Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,and that through this belief you may have life in his name.

Where does your heart need to be born again?

Monday of the Second Week of Easter

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/040826.cfmFather Mark Baron, MIC, begins by explaining how the Easter Octave reveals not only the truth of the Resurrection, but the importance of a personal encounter with the Risen Christ. He contrasts St. Mary Magdalene encountering Christ in the garden and the disciples encountering Christ on the road to Emmaus, showing two paths: one led by the heart, the other by the mind. Mary's heart longs for Jesus, yet her vision must be elevated, while the disciples struggle to understand until Christ opens the Scriptures and sets their hearts on fire.Father Mark teaches that knowledge and love must work together. True faith requires both intellect and will, leading the soul into deeper communion with God. He explains that Christ is no longer bound by space and time, but now meets us in a new and intimate way through the Eucharist.Father Mark emphasizes that this is the very pattern of the Mass: the Word proclaimed, understanding formed, hearts ignited, and Holy Communion fulfilled. Here, we encounter the Risen Lord just as the disciples did — in the breaking of the bread. ★ Support this podcast ★
