EMAIL: Barbara from Washington, D.C. With yesterday having been the Michaelmas, a question I have is why can Eastern Catholics venerate the other unnamed Archangels while Roman Catholics cannot?   EMAIL: Anonymous from New York What is the difference between sacramental wine and the wine you can buy at a liquor store?   EMAIL: Olivia from Ontario, Canada Last Sunday at Mass, I was sitting behind a disruptive boy in the pew in front of me. He wouldn't stop babbling and banging on the pew, and his mother just let him do it, even during the consecration. I get that we should have some patience when it comes to children in Mass, but it was to the point where I couldn't concentrate. What should we do in a situation like this?   @CrisisisComing ​​Serious question: What does the Church expect Catholics to do if a serious economic collapse appears likely? (Like the financiers pulling their money out of the country) Thinking of the Spanish crown in the old days   @Felix ​​What would bring the Orthodox and Catholic Church back together?   @Francis_tamu In terms of moral theology, why is alcohol permitted, but weed prohibited, when both cause intoxication? Many argue weed does not always remove the faculties of reason.

Homily for the Feast of St. Aidan - Fr. Michael Flowers 08.30.26 by St. Aidan's Anglican Church, KC

Matthew 16:21-27Jesus began to show his disciplesthat he must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatlyfrom the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,and be killed and on the third day be raised. Then Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him,"God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you." He turned and said to Peter,"Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do."Then Jesus said to his disciples,"Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.What profit would there be for one to gain the whole worldand forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life? For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father's glory,and then he will repay all according to his conduct."

Matthew 16:13-20Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi andhe asked his disciples,"Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah,still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter said in reply,"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus said to him in reply,"Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter,and upon this rock I will build my church,and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven;and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Then he strictly ordered his disciplesto tell no one that he was the Christ.

Listen along to Fr. Michael Delcambre's 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time homily. The readings can be found at https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/082326.cfm

Who are you? The Gospel suggests that the deepest answer begins somewhere unexpected: not by looking first at yourself, but by looking at Christ. In this homily for the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr Michael reflects on Peter's confession at Caesarea Philippi: “You are the Christ.” Surrounded by competing beliefs and voices, Peter makes a judgment of faith that pierces through the confusion and recognises who Jesus truly is. But something remarkable happens next. After Peter says to Jesus, “You are the Christ,” Jesus turns to Peter and says, in effect, “You are Peter.” In recognising Christ, Peter begins to discover his own identity and vocation. That discovery is not completed in a single moment. Peter will misunderstand Jesus, deny Him, repent, carry responsibility, suffer, and gradually become the “rock” Christ has called him to be. Christian vocation unfolds in the same way. We discover who we are by fixing our eyes upon Christ, receiving His grace, and allowing Him to form us through fidelity and the Cross. Whether the call is lived as a parent, priest, religious, worker, friend or member of a community, Christ sees not only who we are now, but who we are called to become. The invitation of the Gospel is therefore deeply personal: dare to look toward Christ and say with Peter, “You are the Christ.” Then allow Him to tell you who you are.

Where is the Christian life leading us? In this homily for the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Fr Michael reflects on Mary as the one who has already reached the destination toward which every Christian life is moving. The Assumption is not only something beautiful that happened to Mary. It reveals something about our own destiny: God desires to bring the whole person—body and soul—into the fullness of life with Him. Recalling a moment of prayer from his early years as a religious brother, Fr Michael reflects on Mary's body as the body she gave completely to God: the feet that went to Elizabeth, the hands that held Jesus, the voice that said yes to God, the heart that loved Him, and the body that remained beside Him at the Cross. Mary shows us that surrender to God does not diminish the human person. What we truly give to Christ is never lost; He receives it and brings it to fulfilment. The Christian life therefore becomes a pilgrimage of offering our hands, our feet, our minds, our time and our hearts to Christ in the ordinary circumstances of daily life.

Fr. Michael Copenhagen is a Melkite (Eastern Catholic) priest, husband, and father at St. Nicholas the Wonderworker Melkite Catholic Church in Gates, New York. He holds a Bachelor's of Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. In Today's Show: Our Lord tells us to forgive. How much can we forgive without becoming a doormat? What is the difference between being gullible and being forgiving? What commandment does ingratitude towards God break? If a criminal dies right after baptism, and doesn't commit any other sins, will they enter directly into heaven or spend some time in purgatory? What's Father Copenhagen's advice on the epidemic of MGTOW men going their own way and avoiding marriage and children? They claim they want to live in peace and tranquility without getting fleeced in divorce court. ​​What's up with the Oriental Orthodox Churches? They seem suspicious… are their practices acceptable? It seems Kabbalistic. A priest in town has a very thick accent that makes his sermon hard to understand. His sermons sound very Lutheran, saying that we should only pray to Jesus and to not pray to the saints or the rosary. Should I say something about this? I want to write my thesis on some aspect of St. John Chrysostom's thought, but I can't think of anything. I know that in his time there was no systematic theology, so I wanted to ask for your opinion to give me some ideas. I read in one book that your Guardian Angel is assigned at the moment of conception, while in another book I read that it happens at the moment of birth. In the latter case, the book said the baby is under the protection of the mother's Guardian Angel from conception to birth. So which is correct?

10. A Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation (Exodus: Redeemed to Worship) - Fr. Michael Flowers 08.16.26 by St. Aidan's Anglican Church, KC

Matthew 15:21-28At that time, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out,"Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon." But Jesus did not say a word in answer to her. Jesus' disciples came and asked him,"Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us."He said in reply,"I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."But the woman came and did Jesus homage, saying, "Lord, help me." He said in reply,"It is not right to take the food of the childrenand throw it to the dogs." She said, "Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scrapsthat fall from the table of their masters." Then Jesus said to her in reply,"O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish." And the woman's daughter was healed from that hour.

If you're carrying too much of your parish on your own, this conversation is for you! Parish renewal doesn't happen because one pastor works harder. It happens when the right people are raised up, equipped, and entrusted with the mission. In this episode of the Huntley Leadership Podcast, Ron Huntley sits down with Fr. Michael Nixon to talk honestly about the challenge of recruiting staff and volunteers who don't simply fill a role, but genuinely share the mission of the parish. ➡️ Read "Road to Renewal," featuring Fr. Michael's chapter on recruiting, for a deeper look at this topic: https://a.co/d/04ELO9S9 About this episode: Fr. Michael Nixon has spent years building a parish culture at St. Dominic Catholic Parish where mission, structure, leadership, and giftedness work together. In this conversation, he shares what he has learned through both successful hires and difficult ones—including why he looks first for people who are joyful, generous, and passionate about the mission. But this conversation goes much deeper than hiring. Ron and Fr. Michael explore the temptation pastors can face to do everything themselves, the importance of building a team of people who are better than you at certain things, and the responsibility of creating the structures that allow those people to thrive. They also talk candidly about difficult conversations, mismatched hires, onboarding, past wounds that can shape leadership decisions, and the spiritual foundation underneath it all. For Fr. Michael, recruiting isn't ultimately about finding people to make the pastor's life easier. It's about inviting people into what God is doing and helping them discover how their gifts can serve something bigger than themselves. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why there is no such thing as a truly “well-rounded” leader—and why pastors need people who complement their gifts. - How to identify the cultural values you want every staff member and key volunteer to embody. - Why Fr. Michael looks for people who are joyful, generous, and passionate about the mission. - How clarity about your parish mission can make recruiting dramatically easier. - Why prayer, curiosity, and asking better questions are essential to discerning the right people. - How to have the difficult conversations that protect both the mission and the people involved. - Why pastors need to create structures that support, develop, and onboard the people they recruit. About Fr. Michael Nixon Fr. Michael Nixon is pastor of St. Dominic Catholic Parish in Pensacola, Florida, where he has served for more than a decade.

Listen along to Fr. Michael Delcambre's 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Homily. The readings can be found at https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/080926.cfm

What kind of kingdom does Jesus establish? In this homily for the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr Michael reflects on the multiplication of the loaves and fishes by placing it between two striking scenes in Matthew's Gospel: Herod's banquet, which ends with the death of John the Baptist, and Jesus walking on the water, where He reveals His divine identity. The contrast is stark. Herod's feast is for the powerful and elite, marked by seduction, judgement and the protection of worldly power. Jesus' feast takes place in a deserted place among ordinary people who have followed Him because they hunger for His word. He feeds them not to increase His own power, but because He is moved by mercy. The twelve baskets left over point toward the fullness of God's people and a Kingdom characterised by abundance, mercy and openness to all. This is the Kingdom Christians ask for every time they pray, “Thy Kingdom come”: that our families, parishes and communities might increasingly become places where God's Word is received, mercy is practised and everyone can begin to taste the life of heaven.

What happens to our faith when the wind rises and life no longer feels under control? In this homily for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr Michael reflects on the disciples caught in the storm and on Peter stepping out of the boat toward Jesus. The storm itself becomes a place of encounter: Christ comes to His disciples precisely when they are afraid and struggling. Peter is able to move toward Jesus while his attention remains fixed on Him, but fear begins to overwhelm him when the wind and the waves become his focus. The same dynamic appears in the Christian life. Difficulties are real, but they do not have to become the centre around which everything else revolves. Faith does not mean pretending that the storm is absent. It means learning to recognise Christ within it, trusting Him enough to move toward Him, and knowing that even when we begin to sink we can still cry out, “Lord, save me.” The invitation is simple: do not allow fear to have the final word. Keep turning toward Christ.

8. The Bread of Angels - Sacramental Reality - Ex. 16 - Fr. Michael Flowers 08.02.26 by St. Aidan's Anglican Church, KC

Matthew 14:13-21When Jesus heard of the death of John the Baptist,he withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself.The crowds heard of this and followed him on foot from their towns.When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd,his heart was moved with pity for them, and he cured their sick.When it was evening, the disciples approached him and said,“This is a deserted place and it is already late;dismiss the crowds so that they can go to the villagesand buy food for themselves.”Jesus said to them, “There is no need for them to go away;give them some food yourselves.”But they said to him,“Five loaves and two fish are all we have here.”Then he said, “Bring them here to me,”and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass.Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven,he said the blessing, broke the loaves,and gave them to the disciples,who in turn gave them to the crowds.They all ate and were satisfied,and they picked up the fragments left over—twelve wicker baskets full.Those who ate were about five thousand men,not counting women and children.

In a world filled with competing voices, distractions and “gravity wells,” how do we discern what truly matters? Reflecting on Solomon's prayer for a discerning mind and Jesus' parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price, Fr Michael explains that discernment is the ability to distinguish what is merely attractive from what is essential. Many things compete to become the centre of our lives, but only one can hold everything together: God and His will. The Kingdom of God is already present—in the Word of God, the Eucharist and God's hidden work within the soul. Like the treasure in the field and the pearl of great price, it is worth surrendering everything to possess. To discover it, however, we must step away from constant noise and enter the peaceful silence in which God speaks to the heart.

7. In the Cloud and in the Sea - Sacramental Reality (Exodus: Redeemed to Worship) - Fr. Michael Flowers 07.26.26 by St. Aidan's Anglican Church, KC

Matthew 13:44-52Jesus said to his disciples:"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field,which a person finds and hides again,and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchantsearching for fine pearls. When he finds a pearl of great price,he goes and sells all that he has and buys it. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea,which collects fish of every kind. When it is full they haul it ashoreand sit down to put what is good into buckets. What is bad they throw away. Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteousand throw them into the fiery furnace,where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth."Do you understand all these things?" They answered, "Yes." And he replied,"Then every scribe who has been instructed in the kingdom of heavenis like the head of a householdwho brings from his storeroom both the new and the old."

Matthew 13:24-30Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds, saying:"The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a manwho sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy cameand sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off. When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well. The slaves of the householder came to him and said,'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?'He answered, 'An enemy has done this.'His slaves said to him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'He replied, 'No, if you pull up the weedsyou might uproot the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until harvest;then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters,"First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning;but gather the wheat into my barn."'"

How does God govern His Kingdom? In this homily for the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr Michael reflects on Jesus' three parables from Matthew 13—the weeds among the wheat, the mustard seed, and the yeast—to reveal the surprising way God works in the world. Rather than ruling by force or immediate judgement, God governs with perfect goodness, patience, and wisdom. He allows time for conversion instead of destroying the sinner with the sin. He begins with the smallest seed of grace, patiently bringing forth great works through faithful hearts. Like yeast hidden in dough, His grace works quietly from within, transforming individuals, families, the Church, and society from the inside out. This homily is an invitation to trust God's patient governance, nurture the seed of faith, and allow His grace to permeate every part of our lives.

In this stream I am joined by Fr. Michael Marcantoni to discuss the spiritual dangers of modern America and how both men and women should try spiritually navigate it. Make sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think. God Bless

Why do some people hear the Gospel yet remain unchanged, while others bear abundant fruit? In this homily for the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr Michael reflects on Jesus' Parable of the Sower and His surprising words about those who "hear but do not understand." Using simple images—a muddy window, an untended garden, and weeds that steal nutrients—this homily explores the real obstacles to hearing God's voice. The problem is not that God fails to speak or that we are incapable of understanding. More often, distractions, shallow roots, anxiety, pride, and sin prevent the Word of God from taking deep root in our hearts. This reflection is a practical invitation to remove whatever blocks God's grace, cultivate an interior life of prayer, and allow His Word to bear fruit thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold in our families, our parish, and the world.
