This is the kind of love God calls us to...

Alan Searle continues our Lent & Easter sermon series 'Treasure', preaching on 'Jesus' Name'. Full reading is Acts 3:1-10.

The culture of death flows from a culture of fatherless patriarchy. “The LORD draws near to the brokenhearted.” Fatherhood is first received. “The One Who sent me is true.”

“The man believed what Jesus said to Him, and left.” Do I know what Jesus says to me? Do I believe it?

“Do you want to be well?”

What is the most important relationship in your life? Hint: it's NOT your relationship with God?!

Memorial Mass for Fr. Arul Carasala: Do I testify on my own, or do I acknowledge the One who testifies on my behalf? “You do not want to come to me to have life.”

Perhaps the parable of the Prodigal Son could be better known as the parable of the Merciful Father. Jesus has come to find us, and to show us the way home!

It's easy to measure success by what you've accomplished...

İmamoğluna şok anket darbesi! Katılımcıların yaklaşık yüzde 64'ü İmamoğlu'nun yolsuzluk yaptığına inandıklarını bu nedenlerle aklanmasının mümkün olmadığını ve Cumhurbaşkanı adayı olamayacağını açıkça ankette yaptıkları değerlendirmelerde ifade ettiler.

Isaiah 7:1–16 (Listen) Isaiah Sent to King Ahaz 7:1 In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah the king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but could not yet mount an attack against it. 2 When the house of David was told, “Syria is in league with1 Ephraim,” the heart of Ahaz2 and the heart of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind. 3 And the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-jashub3 your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Washer's Field. 4 And say to him, ‘Be careful, be quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint because of these two smoldering stumps of firebrands, at the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria and the son of Remaliah. 5 Because Syria, with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has devised evil against you, saying, 6 “Let us go up against Judah and terrify it, and let us conquer it4 for ourselves, and set up the son of Tabeel as king in the midst of it,” 7 thus says the Lord GOD:   “‘It shall not stand,    and it shall not come to pass.8   For the head of Syria is Damascus,    and the head of Damascus is Rezin.  And within sixty-five years    Ephraim will be shattered from being a people.9   And the head of Ephraim is Samaria,    and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah.  If you5 are not firm in faith,    you will not be firm at all.'” The Sign of Immanuel 10 Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz: 11 “Ask a sign of the LORD your6 God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven.” 12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not put the LORD to the test.” 13 And he7 said, “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.8 15 He shall eat curds and honey when he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good. 16 For before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be deserted. Footnotes [1] 7:2 Hebrew Syria has rested upon [2] 7:2 Hebrew his heart [3] 7:3 Shear-jashub means A remnant shall return [4] 7:6 Hebrew let us split it open [5] 7:9 The Hebrew for you is plural in verses 9, 13, 14 [6] 7:11 The Hebrew for you and your is singular in verses 11, 16, 17 [7] 7:13 That is, Isaiah [8] 7:14 Immanuel means God is with us (ESV)

God's love for you is often in the routine of life...

It's not easy to sing the song of the saints...

La historia de esta noche es de un hombre que tuvo todo en bandeja de plata, una galanura que lo catapultó a la cima… Sin embargo, en lo mas alto de su éxito, todo se vino abajo, y cayó a lo mas hondo de su vida, a un laberinto en el cual lamentablemente se sigue perdiendo mas y mas ¿Que ha sido de la vida de #EleazarGomez? ¿Por qué se le privó de su libertad?

Tuesday of the First Week of Lent. Father Dave recalls a time when he tried to persuade someone in a long, unnecessary email. We don't need to convince God to love us, but instead we are to trust him as our father. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 3-11-25

Wednesday of the First Week of Lent. Father Dave focuses on today's reading from Jonah and the dramatic conversion of the Ninevites. Rather than just one moment, we are called to have an ongoing conversion in our faith life and continually humble ourselves. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 3-12-25

Thursday of the Third Week of Lent. Father Dave reflects on how we may feel that evangelizing is futile. He quotes Kent M. Keith's paradoxical commandments, which say to “do it anyway” and see how God can still bear fruit. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 3-27-25

Fourth Sunday of Lent. Father Dave notes how we may have trouble relating to today's reading of the Prodigal Son. The story is not just about one person, but how God joyfully embraces us all in forgiveness. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 3-30-25

Fifth Sunday of Lent. Father Dave asks us to think of a person we know who no longer goes to Church. He notes how the Paulist Fathers, and all of us, are called to minister to those at the margins of our faith. Preached at St. Gregory the Great Church, San Diego, CA on 4-6-25

Thursday of the Fifth Week of Lent. Father Dave preaches about how we all sometimes need help remembering things. However, as noted in today's psalm, God never forgets his covenant with us. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 4-10-25

Friday of the Fifth Week of Lent. Father Dave focuses on Jesus' words about believing in his actions. He challenges us to match our behaviors with our faith as we approach Holy Week. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 4-11-25

No earthly crowd can match the crowd in heaven...

What am I being called to do—and how much am I willing to work—in order for me to become well? He comes to help even us lepers become saints!

“Do not forget!” “A prophet like me shall come…to him you must listen.”

Our first and greatest responsibility is to LISTEN. “This is what I command my people: listen to my voice; then I will be your God and you shall be my people.”

“We shall say no more ‘Our God' to the work of our hands.” Do I live underneath the Nazi spirit “work makes us free?”

Isaiah 5:1–12 (Listen) The Vineyard of the Lord Destroyed 5:1   Let me sing for my beloved    my love song concerning his vineyard:  My beloved had a vineyard    on a very fertile hill.2   He dug it and cleared it of stones,    and planted it with choice vines;  he built a watchtower in the midst of it,    and hewed out a wine vat in it;  and he looked for it to yield grapes,    but it yielded wild grapes. 3   And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem    and men of Judah,  judge between me and my vineyard.4   What more was there to do for my vineyard,    that I have not done in it?  When I looked for it to yield grapes,    why did it yield wild grapes? 5   And now I will tell you    what I will do to my vineyard.  I will remove its hedge,    and it shall be devoured;1  I will break down its wall,    and it shall be trampled down.6   I will make it a waste;    it shall not be pruned or hoed,    and briers and thorns shall grow up;  I will also command the clouds    that they rain no rain upon it. 7   For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts    is the house of Israel,  and the men of Judah    are his pleasant planting;  and he looked for justice,    but behold, bloodshed;2  for righteousness,    but behold, an outcry!3 Woe to the Wicked 8   Woe to those who join house to house,    who add field to field,  until there is no more room,    and you are made to dwell alone    in the midst of the land.9   The LORD of hosts has sworn in my hearing:  “Surely many houses shall be desolate,    large and beautiful houses, without inhabitant.10   For ten acres4 of vineyard shall yield but one bath,    and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah.”5 11   Woe to those who rise early in the morning,    that ...

What is the meaning of Lent? Does the Bible teach that we are to give something up for Lent?

After an unexpected April hiatus, AJ, The Iceman, and Yoggin Yack reunite to catch up on all the chaos they missed. Yoggin kicks things off with tales of his latest run, a Spring Break trip to Lake Anna, and a tariff-fueled splurge. The Iceman reflects on Lent and his mission to get back into fighting shape, while AJ shares the highs (and mostly lows) of his first work trip to Vegas. They wrap it up with a spoiler-free take on Sinners—because of course they did.

We are called to share our faith joyfully, and Father Dave welcomes Shemaiah Gonzalez to discuss her new book, “Undaunted Joy: The Revolutionary Act of Cultivating Delight.”

In this episode, we reflect on the legacy of Pope Francis. We talk about how, during his Pontificate, Pope Francis emphasized joy and, through his example, helped us remember to embody this joy in our daily lives to bring others into the Church. We also acknowledge how God has used Pope Francis to speak to us through his writings and discuss which of these writings most profoundly impacted us, how we can pray for our next Pope, and share what we think will be his lasting legacy.    Heather's One Thing - Her Parents Sister Miriam's One Thing - Firm Foundation by Cody Carnes (and the Maverick City Music Remix ;)) Michelle's One Thing - Wrightsville Beach in Wilmington , NC   Other Resources Mentioned:  Papal Homily on the Revolution of Tenderness Pope Francis' Surprise TED Talk Patris Corde - Apostolic Letter Dilexit Nos - Encyclical Evangelii Gaudium (Joy of the Gospel) - Apostolic Exhortation  List of Cardinals attending the Conclave   Abiding Together Episodes on Pope Francis' Writings: The Joy of the Gospel Study Rejoice and Be Glad Study The Sacred Heart (three part series) C'est la Confiance (two part series) Revolution of Tenderness   Journal Questions: How have I been blessed by Pope Francis' pontificate? In what ways do I experience the Gospel as Lent without Easter? How can I embrace the lessons Pope Francis has taught me throughout his papacy in my life? How can I pray for the Church during the conclave?   Discussion Questions: How did you receive the news of Pope Francis' passing? How can we live out Pope Francis' vision of the Church as a field hospital in our own lives? Which of Pope Francis' writings left an impactful impression on you? What's one word you would use to describe Pope Francis' legacy?   Quote to Ponder: "Joy adapts and changes, but it always endures, even as a flicker of life born of our personal certainty that, when everything is said and done, we are infinitely loved." (Pope Francis)   Scripture for Lectio: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Romans 15:13)   Sponsor - Glory: Women's Conference: This week's episode is sponsored by the Glory: Women's Conference hosted by Steubenville Conferences and our very own Heather Khym!

Get Tickets For The Box Of Oddities Live Show Here! This time on The Box of Oddities, we chew through two stories that will leave your brain deliciously baffled. First, travel back to Zürich, 1522, for The Affair of the Sausages—a rebellious feast that helped ignite the Protestant Reformation. When eating meat during Lent becomes a political act, things get oddly spicy. Then, we descend into the shadowy caves of South America to meet the Oil Bird—a nocturnal, echolocating enigma that smells like rancid milk and looks like a feathered flashlight that's lost its will to live. From religious rebellion fueled by cured meats to a bird that might be part candle, part cryptid, this episode is peak historical weirdness and evolutionary chaos. #BoxOfOddities #WeirdHistory #AffairOfTheSausages #OilBird #StrangeFacts #BizarreBiology #OddPodcast #HistoryNerds #WTFNature Learn more about your ad choices.
