My mind is still stewing over the Gospel from this past Sunday, the 17th Sunday in ordinary time year A (Mt. 13: 44-52). We hear about a man finding a treasure in a field and another finding a pearl of great price. I speak about something that appears different about their situations from the parable in the podcast episode today.

This episode goes out on the memorial of BL. Titus Brandsma. He was a Carmelite from Holland. He was killed during WWII by the Nazis in Dachua. He was a man that offers a great witness to the need of courage in a world that calls those of faith to become conformed to it. I use some wisdom from Bl. Titus as a way for us to understand that movement we will have to undergo between conflict and courage in our current times.

Recently, I was reading the Matthean version of the Sower and the Seeds. While stewing over that passage my mind kept going to the virtue of magnanimity. A virtue we do not hear about much but need so badly in our times. I speak about that virtue today in this episode.

We all will die. This is a reality that we as Christians need to reflect upon every day of our life. By reflecting upon our death via the light of faith our hearts can grow in hope. And from that hope makes the possibility of love evermore intensified. Why am I talking about this today? Because, we need to, so we can better care for the neighbors around us today during the pandemic.
