Bearing with one another is a struggle, but in the authentic Christian spirit we are called to do so. When we endure these sufferings of the shortcomings of others, which is part of accepting the cross, is part of uniting ourselves to Christ. We are so inclined to criticize others, regardless of our station of life. What we too often lose sight of is how much giving in to criticizing others and harboring discontent is how these poison our very souls. We quickly see the failures in others while ignoring our own.

Beginning our look at the seventh commandment, the Catechism focuses on the universal destination of goods and the private ownership of goods. Fr. Mike helps us understand that at first glance, these concepts may seem contradictory, but upon closer inspection, they are paradoxical. Each concept is necessary, and they must be held “in tension”. We have the right to private property, and at the same time, we should have the mindset that we are stewards of our earthly possessions and talents with the intention of using them to benefit others.

Bob J tells his story at the Second Tradition Group in San Jose, CA 04-09-05

Happy All Saints Day! As Fr. Matthew reminds us, today we celebrate all the saints — not just those canonized and known to the Church, but also the hidden saints known only to God. These are the souls who lived their lives faithfully, quietly, and heroically, fulfilling the will of God in the ordinary duties of their daily lives. This feast is meant to be your feast day too. God desires every one of us to become a saint, to be counted among the Church Triumphant in Heaven.The Church's liturgical calendar these three days — All Hallows' Eve, All Saints, and All Souls — beautifully unites the three parts of the Church: the Church Triumphant (Heaven), the Church Suffering (Purgatory), and the Church Militant (Earth). Together, we form the one Body of Christ, called to live in holiness and communion. As Fr. Matthew explains, Scripture and Tradition tell us that the saints in Heaven will one day complete the number of angels who fell from grace. When that number is filled, Christ will come again, and the world will be renewed in glory.But sainthood doesn't come through extraordinary deeds alone. Fr. Matthew points us to abandonment to divine providence: sanctity can be reduced to one simple practice — fidelity to the duties God has appointed to you. “Thy will be done” isn't just a prayer — it's a daily way of life. Whether through marriage, priesthood, religious life, or single vocation, holiness comes through doing God's will with love, perseverance, and surrender.As St. John saw in Revelation, the saints are marked with the seal of God on their foreheads — a seal first received in Baptism. To remain faithful to that seal means living out our baptismal promises with purity and love, so that our white garments may remain spotless when we stand before God.Remember, sainthood is not reserved for a few — it's your destiny if you cooperate with grace. Strive each day to purify your heart, grow in virtue, and surrender your will to God. As Fr. Matthew says, “Don't delay becoming a saint.” Purgatory is for those who procrastinate holiness; Heaven is for those who say yes to God now.Watch more inspiring Daily Homilies like this and grow in faith at DivineMercyPlus.org and on the free, ad-free Divine Mercy Plus (DM+) app. Visit the link in bio for prayers, devotions, and Catholic resources to help you live out your call to holiness today.#frmatt #marian #marians #marianfathers #marianhelpers #divinemercy #thedivinemercy #catholic #catholicism #romancatholic #romancatholicism #allsaintsday #communionofsaints #holiness #vocation #grace #heaven #purgatory #faith #virtue #jesus #catholictiktok ★ Support this podcast ★

Children are a gift from God. Children have integrity and rights. With these key principles in mind, Fr. Mike reviews the Catechism's teachings about marriage, family, child bearing, sterility, and adoption. Because “a child is not something owed to one but is a gift”, we must protect the dignity of the child at the forefront of all decisions. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2373-2379. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

The beatitudes are not an “extra” to the spiritual life. They are the foundation, expression, and summary of the spiritual life. There is a reason why poverty of spirit comes first, for it is where mercy, purity, justice, patience under persecution, and peace emanate from.

In this episode of the Iowa Manufacturing Podcast, host Leisa Fox sits down with Lori Mason and Steph Kruger of Seneca Foundry—two leaders shaping one of Iowa's most resilient manufacturing companies.

Married love has an “innate language” of total and mutual self-giving. This language expresses itself in the marital act of sexual intimacy. Marital love mirrors God's love. It is free, total, faithful, and fruitful. Fr. Mike explains that in the face of this reality, contraception and infidelity directly contradict the marital covenant between a man and a woman.

In this special episode of The Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with a very special guest—my 11-year-old son, Lawson Hagner. This episode is unlike any other, because it's not about interviews or experts—it's about connection. It's about the power of slowing down, asking questions, and being intentional with our kids.   Lawson and I dive into simple but meaningful topics—his favorite memories, what it means to "lock in," and how he's learning to handle school, sports, and life. What starts as a lighthearted father-son chat turns into an authentic, heartfelt conversation about discipline, focus, and what it truly means to build a strong relationship between a dad and his son.   We also talk about a new free resource I created called "Questions for the Car"—designed to help dads spark deeper conversations with their kids during everyday moments. This episode is a reminder that great connections don't happen by accident—they happen when we choose to show up and be curious.       What You'll Learn in This Episode [0:00] – Introduction [1:02] – Introducing Lawson Hagner — my 11-year-old son and first-time podcast guest. [2:25] – The fun and chaos of sixth grade (and yes, girls come up right away). [4:58] – How Lawson's football team went undefeated—and what "locking in" means to him. [6:06] – Our father-son bond and why intentional connection matters so much. [7:08] – Introducing the Questions for the Car resource and how dads can use it. [8:33] – Lawson's favorite memories and why going to breakfast together means so much. [10:19] – How meaningful conversations can come from simple, everyday questions. [12:11] – "Locking in": Lawson's personal philosophy on focus and discipline in sports and school. [15:20] – How to manage overwhelm—teaching kids (and adults) how to take on the "next right thing." [20:02] – What tradition means to Lawson and why Christmas represents deeper family connection. [23:14] – The power of presence—how just three questions can spark a 25-minute, life-giving conversation.     Key Takeaways Connection happens in small moments. Breakfasts, car rides, and one-on-one chats matter more than grand gestures. "Lock in" isn't just for sports. Lawson reminds us that focus and effort apply to school, family, and life. Asking great questions creates great relationships. Curiosity opens the door for deeper understanding. Tradition builds belonging. Family rituals—like Christmas mornings and hot cocoa nights—create lasting bonds. Dads set the tone. Our consistency, presence, and willingness to engage build the foundation our kids stand on.     Links & Resources     Download Questions for the Car: https://thedadedge.com/kidquestions Episoe Shownotes: thedadedge.com/1398     Closing Thoughts   This episode isn't just a podcast—it's a moment between a dad and his son that shows what intentional fatherhood looks like in real time. Whether it's on the way to school, over breakfast, or sitting by the fire, every dad has the opportunity to lead with curiosity and love.   If this conversation inspired you, please rate, review, and share The Dad Edge Podcast. And remember, gentlemen—don't just go through the motions… Live Legendary.

In the parable of the wicked servant, Our Lord appears to give a mysterious lesson. Yet upon reflection, this parable is about the law of mercy. The mercy we show others will be measured out and shown unto us. If we desire mercy for our sins, we must bestow it upon others.
