A sermon for the first week after Pentecost. Matthew 28:16-20 The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” 2 Corinthians 13:11-13 Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new.

In this episode, we reflect on how Pentecost is more than just an event of the past, but can be an ongoing outpouring of God's love and grace in our lives today. We discuss how the Holy Spirit helps heal our wounds, restores communion with God, and teaches us how to live with power and boldness, even in the places where we feel unable to love the Lord. As we prepare our hearts for Pentecost, we talk practically about cultivating a posture of receptivity, learning to invite the Holy Spirit more deeply into our hearts, and how to allow His fire to illuminate our identity and transform us from within. The Holy Spirit is alive within us, able to enter even the locked places of our hearts, and desires to help us bear much fruit in our lives.   Heather's One Thing - Pentecost | Holy Spirit Rest on Us Playlist Heather's Other One Thing - Wild Goose Series with Fr. Dave Pivonka Sister Miriam's One Thing - The Discerning Hearts Podcast App Michelle's One Thing - College Graduations   Other Resources Mentioned: Be Transformed Book Study   Journal Questions: How can I make myself more open to encounter the Holy Spirit pirit this Pentecost? Where in my life do I feel powerless? Am I allowing the Holy Spirit to make me more like Jesus? How am I rationing the boldness of the Holy Spirit? Where do I need to unlock the doors of my heart?   Discussion Questions: How can you welcome the Holy Spirit into your life in a deeper way?  What does it look like to experience the Holy Spirit in community? What gifts of the Holy Spirit do you desire to empower your work of building the Kingdom of God? How will you celebrate Pentecost?   Quotes to Ponder: "If there be among the gifts of God none greater than love, and there is no greater gift of God than the Holy Spirit, what follows more naturally than that He is Himself love…." (Saint Augustine)   "This great mystical tradition . . . shows how prayer can progress, as a genuine dialogue of love, to the point of rendering the person wholly possessed by the divine Beloved, vibrating at the Spirit's touch, resting filially within the Father's heart." (Pope Saint John Paul II, Novo Millennio Ineunte, Paragraph 33)   "A noble and delicate soul ... follows faithfully the faintest breath of the Holy Spirit; it rejoices in this Spiritual Guest and holds onto Him like a child to its mother." (The Diary of St. Faustina, Entry 148) Scripture for Lectio: "On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." Then they gathered around him and asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight." (Acts 1:4-9)   Sponsor - Mary's Meals: Every mother knows what it's like to want to protect their child and provide for them, to make sure there's food on the table, to make sure her child is safe, cared for, and able to grow into who God created them to be. But for millions of mothers around the world, hunger stands in the way of that hope. Their children walk to school carrying empty bowls, wondering if today they'll have anything to eat. And that's where Mary's Meals steps in. Mary's Meals provides one daily meal in a place of education for children living in some of the world's poorest communities. And that simple meal becomes the reason a child comes to school. Once they're there, everything can begin to change. Education can become a pathway out of poverty.  So a child who is hungry can focus.  A child who is vulnerable can dream.  And a mother who felt helpless can begin to hope again.  What we love most about Mary's Meals is how ordinary people get to become a part of that story. We don't have to solve global hunger. We simply have to feed one child. And here's the beautiful thing. It only costs $25.20 to feed a child for an entire school year.  That's one child sitting in a classroom instead of sitting at home hungry. One mother experiencing relief instead of worry.  One life changed through a simple act of love. So if your hearts are moved to help, we invite you to join us in supporting Mary's Meals. You can head over to their website marysmealsusa.org (or marysmeals.ca for Canada) and together we can offer hope, dignity and a daily meal to a child who needs it most.    Timestamps: 00:00 Mary's Meals 01:39 Introduction 02:26 Welcome 03:24 Scripture Verse and Quote to Ponder 04:39 Preparing Our Hearts 07:34 Healing the Wound of Powerlessness  09:26 The Holy Spirit Enables Us to Love 11:04 Inviting the Holy Spirit into Our Hearts 12:50 Our Advocate and the Forgiveness of Sins 15:10 "It is Better that I Go" 17:14 Baptized with Fire 19:15 Bearing Fruit in Our Lives 20:57 When We Restrict the Holy Spirit 22:50 Receiving the Holy Spirit within Community 28:08 Being Inspired by the Holy Spirit 31:04 One Things

In this episode, we reflect on the sacred wounds of Jesus, the reality of our own woundedness, and Jesus' invitation to make us well. We talk about how our wounds, so often hidden in shame or self-protection, when transformed, can actually become places of communion and grace. We also share about our personal experiences of facing fear or disappointment and how the slow, often painful, process of healing reminds us that God's ways are not our own. Jesus tenderly meets us in every broken place within our hearts and ardently desires to make all things new.   Heather's One Thing - Worship Session with Kory Miller Sister Miriam's One Thing - Life Transitions Part One and Part Two with Chris Benzinger Michelle's One Thing - The Kentucky Derby   Other Resources Mentioned: Glory: Women's Gathering The Restore the Glory Podcast The Anatomy of a Wound Series Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5   Journal Questions: Where am I self-protecting instead of bringing my wounds before the Lord? Do I think Jesus can make me well? How have my wounds impacted my outlook on life and perspectives on painful situations in my life? When have my own expectations of what Jesus should do gotten in the way of my own healing?   Discussion Questions: Are there areas that you have grown accustomed to your own pain? How have you equated healing with fixing? What has the Holy Spirit taught you about yourself through the healing journey? How has disappointment affected your trust in Jesus and His goodness?   Quotes to Ponder: "Nobody escapes being wounded. We are all wounded people, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. The main question is not, 'How can we hide our wounds?' so we don't have to be embarrassed, but 'How can we put our woundedness in the service of others?' When our wounds cease to be a source of shame, and become a source of healing, we have become wounded healers." (Henri Nouwen)    "Our brokenness reveals not a failure but a doorway through which God's healing can enter." (Henri Nouwen, The Inner Voice of Love)   Scripture for Lectio: "Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate, there is a pool, called in Hebrew Bethesda, which has five porticoes. In these lay many invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed. One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"  The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; and while I am making my way, someone else steps down ahead of me." Jesus said to him, "Stand up, take your mat and walk." At once the man was made well, and he took up his mat and began to walk."

God and Our Dogs – "Pawndering" with Scott Kappel ft. Stan Leach In this pawndering episode, host Meg Greer listens to a dog story from Scott Kappel about his three dogs — Gemini, Knight, and Copper — then ponders its spiritual lessons with Stan Leach, athletic director for Boerne ISD and one of Texas's most successful high school basketball coaches. Scott's dogs, though from different backgrounds (and two from the same litter), are completely different: Knight retrieves tirelessly all day, while Copper refuses to fetch but is tall, affectionate, and always by your side. Scott admits he's still figuring out what Copper is "good at" — and catches himself before he discounts him, noting Copper is just sweet and loving. Meg and Stan draw rich parallels between the dogs and human identity in God's eyes: every person is uniquely gifted, comparison dishonors God, humility is central to faith, and saying "yes" opens doors in ministry. Stan reflects on how success in one area doesn't make you an expert in everything, and how trials reveal character. The episode closes with a look at Boerne ISD spring athletics.

Sof caught up with curator Hutch Wilco of Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki's newly opened exhibition Forever Tomorrow: Chinese Art Now, the first major survey of Chinese contemporary art to be shown in Aotearoa And Maya spoke to Artist Antonia Barnett McIntosh about her current exhibition on at RM, A Ponder of Transported Local Delicacies  Whakarongo mai x

Antonia Barnett McIntosh is a Tāmaki-based Composer, performer, sound artist, editor and curator. Her multidisciplinary practice often seeks out various modes of connection through collaboration. Collaborating between the threshold spaces of speech/music, performance/rehearsal, composition/writing. Drawing connections between mediums, finding this  mutual thread between artistic outputs to build upon. Often working with musicians, dancers, poets, visual artists, and Filmmakers.  In her current exhibition at RM, A Ponder of Transported Local Delicacies Barnett McIntosh presents a beautiful sound installation which comprises captured moments of field recordings, and speech. Applying this musical thought to speech, that approaches speech as an instrument in istelf—tunning into its inherent musicality. Reflecting on this in-between state of the live and the documented dwelling in one's mind and body.  The sound work itself is dispersed across four channels, creating a dynamic sonic landscape that morphs and shifts, as one moves around the space. Alongside the sound installation Barnett McIntosh offers this secondary mode of documentation within the show text, through a piece of writing, by writer Lisa Samuels. Samuels will also be involved in a collaborative activation of the gallery space with Barnett McIntosh, through a series of performances. Emphasising the active liveliness of the gallery space and the circulative artistic discourse.  Maya caught up with Antonia about the show, as well as her overall practice.

Read OnlineSimon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We also will come with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. When it was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore; but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, “Children, have you caught anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.” So he said to them, “Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something.” So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the number of fish. John 21:3–6In three of His resurrection appearances, Jesus did not immediately reveal His true presence to His disciples. He wanted to teach them—and us—important lessons on how we are to encounter Him. In each of these appearances, the same thing happened: Those to whom Jesus appeared did not recognize Him at first. Only after some interaction with Him were their eyes opened to discern that it was the Lord.The first of these encounters is recorded in John 20:11–18, when Mary Magdalene sat outside Jesus' empty tomb, weeping at the thought that His body had been stolen. She remained there with profound devotion and love, revealing a model for our prayer. Only when Jesus called Mary by name did she recognize Him. This personal call opens her eyes, reminding us of the importance of a personal relationship with Christ. In imitation of Mary's deep love and steadfast devotion, we are invited to remain vigilant in prayer, ready to hear Him call us by name.The second instance is in Luke 24:13-35, when two disciples journeying to Emmaus are joined by Jesus, though “their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.” As they walked, Jesus explained everything in the Scriptures that pointed to His messianic mission. This teaches us that we, too, encounter the Lord in the Word of God. By reading, pondering, and praying over Scripture, we open ourselves to meeting Jesus. Once the disciples understood the Scriptures, Jesus broke bread with them, and they recognized Him, but He vanished from their sight. Jesus' disappearance at that moment reveals a profound truth: He remains truly present in the Eucharist, even though we do not physically see Him.Finally, in today's Gospel passage from John 21:1–14, the disciples recognize Jesus only after the miraculous catch of fish. Having fished all night without success, they obey when Jesus tells them from the shore to “Cast the net over the right side of the boat,” resulting in an overwhelming catch. This reminds us of the moment when Jesus first called Simon Peter and Andrew, saying, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19). Here, Jesus reveals to the Apostles—and to us—that we will encounter Him in our apostolic works when done at His command. When we align our actions with His will, He blesses them, yielding an abundance of spiritual fruit. Thus, our apostolic efforts are another way in which the Risen Lord is present with us, working through us to draw souls to Himself. Reflect today on the longing of Jesus' disciples to encounter His resurrected presence. Ponder the lessons He imparted by initially concealing His presence, then revealing Himself. Resolve to seek the living and resurrected Lord in your life. Through love and devotion, meet Him in prayer, where He calls you by name. In the Word of God and the Eucharist, recognize Him in your midst. And in fidelity to His guiding hand in your apostolic work, see His superabundant fruitfulness as a sign of His presence, drawing many souls to Himself through you. Jesus is not dead; He is alive and desires to continue appearing to us in hidden and mysterious ways. Anticipate His ongoing resurrection appearances in your life, knowing that He is always with you when you remain faithful, in imitation of these holy disciples. My ever-present Lord, You are always attentive to us, Your children, and never abandon us. You call each of us by name, come to us through Your Word and Sacraments, and direct our apostolic works. Help me to discern Your presence in my life, discovering You every day in the ways You desire to be present to me. Jesus, I trust in You.Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

In this episode, we continue our Lenten book study on "The Way of Trust and Love" and focus on Chapter 5: God's Infinite Mercy. We reflect on the paradox of true strength—how becoming little, dependent, and surrendered before the Lord is the very place where His strength takes root in us. We also talk about what it means to live with a pure heart, not by striving harder, but by bringing every part of ourselves into honest communion with Christ and allowing His kindness to call us higher. This week, as we wrestle with fear, worry, and the temptation to rely on ourselves, we encourage you to be reminded that it is God's love that heals, restores, and leads us to freedom.    Heather's One Thing - Dwelling Place by The Belonging Co.  Sister Miriam's One Thing - The Sacrament of Reconciliation  Michelle's One Thing - Living Easter: 50 Days to Practice Resurrection by Laura Kelly Fanucci Michelle's Other One Thing - March Madness!   Journal Questions: What has the Lord convicted me of this Lent?

(Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love, Page 90)   "Let's return to the subject of trust. We have seen how we should nurture our trust. It is fragile, but it can be increased and strengthened by listening to the Word, by prayer, by the acts of faith we make in difficult moments, and by the experience of God's faithfulness. Now I wish to make a point that is simple but has wide implications. I can put it in the form of a question: What is the basis for our trust? What does it actually rest on?"

In this episode, we continue our Lenten book study on "The Way of Trust and Love" and focus on Chapter 4: Trusting More and More. We reflect on the tender places where our trust in the Father has been wounded—especially in the disappointments we carry with ourselves, our children, and the circumstances in our lives—and how God gently invites us to bring those disappointments to Him. We also talk about the lies that quietly erode our trust in God, the temptation to carry life's burdens alone, and the way simple rhythms of prayer allow God to personally reveal to us His goodness. This week, we invite you to honestly bring your disappointments before God and ask Him to reveal to you His goodness.   Heather's One Thing - The Springtime!

What narratives of your life are you seeking to control? What is bothering me most acutely right now? What am I carrying that I need to let go?   Discussion Questions: Where do you take your disappointment? Where are you experiencing agitation? How are you tempted to manage the Lord's revelations in your life? What might be an appropriate prayer prescription for your current agitations? How is God inviting you into the safety of the Holy Family this Lent?   Quotes to Ponder: "This work of restoring trust in our hearts is an essential aspect of the spiritual life. Wounded by original sin, our hearts are riddled with fears and doubts. It takes time to be cured of them. Maybe that will never happen completely in this life, but we can nevertheless make great strides in trusting more." (Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love, Page 69)   "Trust works miracles."
