My province has begun our year of vocations. The episode today is about that topic of vocation. My thoughts come at the request of a listener who reached out to me via my social media account. We all play a role in helping people to hear the presence of God, may we continue to be a source of support for those discerning vocations in the Church.

Christ is our healer. Christ as our healer is the theme for this episode today. The foundation for this reflection comes from the Gospel reading we heard at the Mass this past weekend (28th Sunday in Ordinary time Year C). We are all broken and in need of healing. Fortunately, for us the hands of our king are healing hands.

Recently, we heard at the Mass the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man. The reflection I offer today is about the lack of a name for the rich man. What does his lacking a name mean? Names have a power that we must not overlook. Know that I will be praying for you.

Today, I speak about the temptation to embrace things that bring about distractions and numbness in our lives to distract us from the suffering we are in currently. What brought about this reflection is the current pain I am dealing with because of my amputation. We are called before the Cross, how will you respond to yours?

Recently, I saw a movie called “Freaks”. It is a film based in a world were some people have super human abilities. The world of this film rejects these abnormal people. That fear and hate creates a monster. That reality of hate and its impact is not unlike our own. That topic of hate, sin and the social impact is something I address in the episode today.

During this past week at the day masses we’ve been hearing from Luke 4. After the healing of St. Peter’s mother-in-law we are told at sunset Christ begins to heal the sick and drive out demons. What does this scene of Christ’s life teach us about darkness in the life of the christian? I tackle that question in the episode today.

My physical therapist recently told me an interesting factoid about dogs. That factoid (spoken about in the episode) got me thinking about the role of the senses in our lives. The senses play such a big a role. The importance of the sense is what I speak about in the episode today. If that factoid I false please let me know.

I am reflecting on the Gospel passage (Lk. 13: 22-30) from the precious Sunday mass. Christ calls us to enter through the narrow gate. What is the narrow gate? How do we enter through it? These are a few questions I wrestle with in the episode today.

Love, via the symbol of fire, teaches us something important about God’s love. God’s love and thus the love of God is revelatory. True love always reveals. Those outside the bounds of the Church may reject God’s love because they do not wish to see themselves in the light of that love. Today, I speak about that conflict and what must our Christian response be in the world.

The world puts forth a message/image of love that falls utterly short of what Christian love is. In the episode today I speak about the issue of love and what it calls forth from the Christian. Love is a challenge, but it is a challenge we do not meet alone. God is always with us who turn towards Him in humility.

We are people of hope because we are children of God. But what does that mean to be hopeful? In a world consumed by seeking certain feelings that desire can easily twist notions relationship to the gifts of faith, hope and love. Today I talk about the necessity of hope particularly hope that is not chasing after certain feelings and sentiments.

Today I am recording from rural Michigan. I wanted to make a quick little podcast episode about experience I had after a Mass from this past weekend at my home parish. The child had an amazing story to tell me and the way she told it to me was quite striking. I hope you find her witness as impressive as I did.
