Day 108: Revealed by the Holy Spirit (2024)
April 17th, 2024 | 18 mins 47 secs
divine, guidance, history, holy spirit, human, paradox, revelation, wisdom
Jesus Christ established the Church, but the Holy Spirit continually sanctifies the Church with wisdom, guidance, and charismatic gifts. The Church’s mission is to proclaim and establish the beginning of God’s Kingdom on earth, and we participate in this mission through charity, humility, and self-denial. Fr. Mike helps us understand the seemingly paradoxical idea that the Church is visible and spiritual, both human and Divine. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 767-771.

Day 69: Born of the Virgin Mary (2024)
March 9th, 2024 | 18 mins 2 secs
destiny, divine, eve, fiat, heaven, human, mary, mother, new covenant, predestination, prefigures, revelation, salvation, trust, will, women
Fr. Mike helps us to understand Mary’s role in the history of salvation. Through her belief and obedience, Mary becomes the Mother of God, and she cooperates in the redemption of the entire world. God’s glory is manifested when he uses weak and powerless people to show forth his faithfulness. What we believe about Mary is based on what we believe about Christ, and what the Church teaches about Mary illuminates our faith in Christ. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 484-489.

Day 68: The Mystery of the Incarnation (2024)
March 8th, 2024 | 17 mins 41 secs
body, divine, divine love, heart, human, human love, incarnation, jesus, love, mystery, nature, sacred heart, salvation, will, word made flesh
We learn more about Jesus Christ’s nature as fully God and fully human. Because he was fully human, “like us in all things but sin,” Jesus had a human will that was perfectly aligned with the will of God the Father, a human body that can be seen and venerated, and a human heart with which he loves us. Fr. Mike sums up the teachings in recent readings by reviewing that the Incarnation is the mystery of the union of the divine and human natures in the one person of the Word. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 475-483.
