Preaching for the Second Sunday of Advent, Colleen McCahill offers a reflection on "preparing the way" in our own time and place: "What will we do, this Lukan Advent, to prepare a way in the desert? We will see and seek reasons to rejoice, and we will share them. We will keep kindling even the smallest, and most domestic lights. And in our time and our place, we will be true partners in the Gospel." Colleen McCahill has served as the Pastoral Associate for St. Vincent de Paul Church in downtown Baltimore, Maryland for nine years. There, she supports the parish life of a community devoted to worship and to service. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute, College of Art, a Master of Arts in Theology with a concentration in spirituality, and a Master of Arts in Church Ministries, both from St. Mary's Ecumenical Institute, Baltimore.

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time - John 1:35-42 In recent years Anne Dowliong discovered that she is autistic and has ADHD which made sense of many of her struggles and ways of being in the world. She delights in being an aunt and great aunt. After many years as a Senior Pastoral Associate and as a Deanery Resource Coordinator Anne is no longer in paid employment. She has a number of roles in the Union of Catholic Apostolate (Pallottine Family) (UAC) in Australia. She's a member of the Leadership Team of the Association of Pastoral Ministry Leaders – Melbourne and a member of Catalyst for Renewal. In 1983 Anne began formation with the Mariana Community, an autonomous secular group within the UAC. It was founded in Melbourne in 1957 by lay women who wanted to strive to live a life of love in and for the world. Her consecration was in 1987 – the year she volunteered at Pallotti College Millgrove. For many years Anne studied part time while teaching in Catholic Primary Schools, including five years as a Principal, and then ministering as a Pastoral Associate in parishes. Her studies were in education, theology and ministry. 1986 was full-time at the National Pastoral Institute. In 1996 Anne had a different experience of Church, commissioned as Pastoral Leader of two parishes without a resident priest in Townsville Diocese. Anne participates in a group with an exercise physiologist, gardens, reads, barracks for the Magpies and the Cowboys, and on X tries to engage in polite conversation with Rad Trads.

Third Sunday of Advent - John 1:6-8, 19-28 Anne McLean grew up and was educated by the Sisters of Mercy and the Sisters of St Joseph in Bathurst. After a time of teaching in the Western suburbs of Sydney, Anne came to Mudgee. She and her late husband, David, cared for and nurtured their 10 children in Mudgee NSW. When their children began school at St Matthews, David and Anne began their involvement in their education. Anne represented parents of children in Catholic schools at local, diocesan, state and National levels. She has been involved in her local Parish, including Sacramental Programs and various other ministries; she was also member of the Diocesan Pastoral Council. It is with humility and hope that she shares her being received ‘Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice', an honour awarded by the Pope to members of the clergy and laity for service to the Catholic Church. Born in Coonabarabran, Alice Sullivan RSJ is a Sister of St Joseph living in Bathurst. Alice was a primary school teacher in the Diocese of Bathurst for many years and was also involved in youth ministry with her sister, Maria Sullivan RSJ in the Bathurst diocese. After a 5 year period managing a refuge in Sydney, Alice returned to the Bathurst diocese where for 15 years she was the Pastoral Associate in Mudgee. Alice is now involved as a volunteer in ministries in the Cathedral Parish in Bathurst. While in Mudgee, Anne, Alice and Annie Flynn (inaugural participant and collaborator on the development of the book by the same name) developed a program called “Conversations about Catholics” to assist young families navigating the faith journey in their children's lives. This program has been shared with many dioceses and has been a resource which seems to help people in this journey. A link to the program is on the Diocese of Bathurst website.

Fr. William Rock, FSSP serves as Parochial Vicar at Regina Caeli Parish in Houston, Texas. He was ordained in October of 2019 and serves as a regular contributor to the FSSP North America Missive Blog and the TAN Direction Blog.     In Today's Show Is it permissible to believe that in heaven, we will still be able to do leisure activities like reading books, playing sports, etc. or will being in the presence of God and the saints for eternity transcend our desire for such things? How was Mary and Joseph's marriage, if at all, celebrated by their family, friends, and neighbors? Can a lay person in the role of “Pastoral Administrator” or “Pastoral Associate” take on any special role in the liturgy? Why, in your opinion, are some parishes resistant to the idea/practice of Ad Orientem? Is it alright to visit family who are living in cohabitation? I read somewhere that Mother Theresa started to lose her faith towards the end of her life. Can you tell me anything about this? Regarding the horses found in Zechariah 1:8, 6:1-8 and Revelation 6:1-8; First off, are they related? Secondly, what do the horsemen represent in a wider, allegorical sense? Does the Bible mention other physical life beyond Earth? Do you think the “alien life” that is gradually being introduced to society could be demons in disguise? Is it okay for my preschooler to receive Ashes on Ash Wednesday even though he has not had his First Communion yet? If I'm praying to God to stop my divorce and heal our marriage and God doesn't want couples divorcing, why wouldn't he grant me that prayer?  Can you explain exactly what schism is? In your opinion, is there a danger of schism in the church today?   Visit the show page at thestationofthecross.com/askapriest to listen live, check out the weekly lineup, listen to podcasts of past episodes, watch live video, find show resources, sign up for our mailing list of upcoming shows, and submit your question for Father!

Preaching for the Fourth Sunday of Easter, Sr. Jane Nesmith, SBS, offers a reflection on listening for the voice of the Good Shepherd in our world and lives today: "Our very lives depend on our choosing the option of following the Good Shepherd, and to declare with our lips and our lives that he is indeed the Way, the Truth and the Life. This one and only Good Shepherd calls out to us in our heartbreak and our loneliness. He calls out to us in our frustration and our guilt. This Good Shepherd brings His love to our lovelessness. This Good Shepherd brings His power to our powerlessness. This Good Shepherd stands by His promise, 'I give you life eternal and nothing in all creation will ever be able to snatch you out of my hand.'" Sister Jane Nesmith is a native of Philadelphia, PA, and a 58-year member of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament.

In this Sunday service, Pastoral Associate of Cape Cod Church, Brittany Feldott, shares a new year's resolution  to guide us this year. A New Year often brings with it renewed determination around things that matter the most to us. The desire to ‘become better' is a common human experience—as is the frustration of the failed resolution. In a famous sermon, Jesus shows us the counterintuitive key to getting better at life. Lucky for us, it's more freeing than anyone in the crowd could have expected. First time listening to our podcast? We'd like to get to know you!

As we continue our series, “Wrapped: The Art of Giving,” Pastoral Associate Brittany Feldott of Cape Cod Church explores the cost of Christmas. In the manger, we'll find a reminder about the God who became human, and perhaps a reminder about ourselves.   Think back to your favorite gift... What made it so precious? A true gift comes at a cost. It may be an investment of time, energy, or creativity—but the best gifts involve sacrifice, and the gift of Christmas is no exception.    First time listening to our podcast?

Preaching for the Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Jocelyn A. Sideco offers a reflection on liberation: "We know the world is far from perfect or ideal. AND we know that Jesus' teachings, Jesus' example, Jesus' life, death, and resurrection give us an opportunity to live in a way that is most liberatory, most free, most loving. To live and to love is not to subjugate yourself under the weight of the cross. To live and to love is not to subjugate yourself to 'it'll get better later' of suffer now, experience peace in heaven 'later' mentality." Jocelyn is a Catholic-Episcopal minister with a background in training leaders in deepening their cultural competency, educating to enhance diversity and multicultural awareness, and building a skill set of social justice practices that promote the dignity of each person and the common good. She is currently both the Pastoral Associate at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Burlingame, CA and Associate Executive Director at Catholic Volunteer Network. She holds a Masters in Theological Studies from the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley and lives with her spouse and two daughters in Burlingame, CA.

Join us as Pastoral Associate Brittany Feldott continues our HOME series with an exploration of the creation narrative in Genesis, searching for clues about our interior design. Each of us has an innate drive to find a place to call home: a safe place to rest, to decompress, to grow. And it's not just us people: birds, worms, and bees all have their places. Trees, too, like to put down roots. What's that about?  If we find in ourselves a desire for home... could it be that we were designed for one? And if that's the case, what's keeping us from finding it? This weekend we go back to the beginning to look for some answers - and I mean, the very beginning.

As we near the end of our “Meant to Be” series, Pastoral Associate Brittany Feldott of Cape Cod Church reveals how God views anger through the story of Jonah.    It's easy for us to justify when we're feeling angry. After all, we like to remind people, even Jesus flipped tables sometimes. But when is the right time? When is our anger justified?   The famous prophet Jonah has a little something to teach us about anger... and not by example, or by advice, but by his mistakes.    When we peel back the childhood story, we find a complex work of literature: intended to make us laugh, and intended to make us think hard about our own reactions. Listen now.    Connect with us! Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/capecodchurch Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/capecodchurch/  Website: http://capecodchurch.com

As we continue Part 4 of our series, ”Jesus in the Letters,” at Cape Cod Church, Pastoral Associate Brittany Feldott talks about misplaced pride and true greatness.   What gives you pride? It always seems easier to recognize runaway or misplaced pride in someone else, but perhaps there are some gating questions that can help us catch it in ourselves, too.    The apostle Paul offers us a helpful guide in his letters to the Corinthian church: a tense collection of writings to a people struggling with all sorts of problems. At the heart of them is one issue: pride. His famous response reveals a paradoxical answer that still resonates today.

THIS WEEK: Meet Bobby Moren, our newest Pastoral Associate!

To the postmodern and relativistic thinker, the definition of what it means to be human could vary dramatically. Because the very foundation for how we treat and interact with other people first demands that we understand what a person actually is, we need to establish and maintain that foundation with our kids early and often. Confusing? Well, we will sort it all out for you as we discuss who we are in Jesus Christ. Evangelist Alveda King is a former college professor and a former representative in the Georgia State House of Representatives. She currently serves as a Pastoral Associate and Director of Civil Rights for the Unborn. She is also a voice for the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, sharing her testimony of two abortions, God's forgiveness, and healing. The daughter of the late civil rights activist Rev. A.D. King and his wife Naomi Barber King, Alveda grew up in the civil rights movement led by her uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Her family home in Birmingham, Alabama, was bombed, as was her father's church office in Louisville, Kentucky. Alveda was jailed during the open housing movement. She sees the pro-life movement as a continuation of the civil rights struggle. The Founder of Alveda King Ministries, Alveda has served on several boards, including Heartbeat International, Georgia Right to Life, MLK Center, Bible Curriculum in Public Schools, and Abortion Recovery International (ARIN). She is also a member of the National Black Pro-life Coalition (NBPC) and is a Senior Fellow with the Howard Center for Family, Religion & Society. Alveda King is a bestselling author; among her books are King Rules: Ten Truths for You, Your Family, and Our Nation to Prosper, How Can the Dream Survive if We Murder the Children?, and I Don't Want Your Man, I Want My Own. She is also a regular columnist for the “Newsmax Insiders” section on Newsmax.com and a Fox News contributor. How Building Biblical Foundations Provides Moral Points of Reference The redefinition of terms is not only often the root of much of the conflict and confusion we see in America today, but it is also largely responsible for the communication break-down in the parent/child relationship. It is hard to agree on anything when common terms are commonly misunderstood, misrepresented, and misapplied to virtually everything these days—particularly when it comes to common terms like God, man, love, hate, truth, good, evil, marriage, family, faith, grace, peace, freedom, or even what it means to be human. I could go on and on with good and godly terms that are too often defined with the devil's dictionary. Think about this: The distortion of what it actually means to be “human”—for example—was one way that Americans actually justified and legalized slavery in the 19th century! Isn't this how we have justified and legalized abortion in the 20th century and even up to this very day? In the 19th century our Supreme Court defined African Americans as only three-fifths of a human. Today, unborn babies are called fetuses. Murder is euthanasia. Disagreement is on par with hate, bigotry, or racism. Our kids have to be made aware of this postmodern insanity or we are going to continue to implode our families and implode our nation. So where should our point of reference be for all moral truth? Where do we go for child-rearing principles and to find out what it actually means to be human? Well, hopefully that is what today's guest is going to help us get sorted out. Evangelist Alveda King and I discuss faith, biblical foundations, and pro-life perspectives as we cover the following topics: Who is Alveda King? Who shaped Martin Luther King Jr.'s worldview? Does there really need to be an absolute point of reference? What shapes Alveda King's perspective on abortion? What is Alveda's experience with modeling her faith to her family?
