In this final episode of their Lenten series on Psalm 51, Fr. John and Mary reflect on how David’s acknowledgement of the need for a broken and contrite heart can prepare us to better understand and marvel at what Jesus is doing for us on the cross.

Episode 328: The Sacrifice That Makes Holy

Why is everything so obviously messed up? Chapter Three shines light on why things are not as they should be, and identifies the one and only enemy of the human race.

“The sight of these happy creatures filled the devil and his fallen angels with anger and envy. They took thought as to how they might mar the work of God and destroy the destiny of this newly created race. They set about to enslave those whom they had been meant to serve and to degrade those who had been assigned such an exalted place into the lowly slime beneath their feet.”
– Sophia Consulting, The Christian Cosmic Narrative

Ch 3 - The Enemy is the enemy

“All things” includes a universe that’s 90+ billion light years across. That’s 90 billion times 5.88 trillion miles across. That’s more than 522,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles across. And that’s just the visible universe.

Episode 36: Who In The World Would Do This?

In this episode, we begin to break open the second part of kerygma, which we simply entitle, ‘captured’ or more directly, ‘what the hell happened’ and we mean it. This is what we might call the bad news without which the gospel seems to be just news and not good news. But because the bad news is so bad, the gospel is indeed extraordinary news. #YouWereBornForThis, #GodWantsHisWorldBack<a rel="payment" href="https://www.actsxxix.org/give">Support You Were Born for This with Fr. John Riccardo</a>

Episode 5: Captured: What the Hell Happened?

Chapter Four helps us to understand what the dire predicament every single human person is in and why we need someone to rescue us.

“The controlling metaphor of this section is slavery and freedom. Paul paints a black-or- white picture of the human situation: either one lives in service to sin and remains in spiritual bondage, or one lives in obedience to God and enjoys liberation from sin’s captivity. It is a stark either-or: no fence-sitting, no third option.”

Ch 4 - It gets worse

The Scriptures that we hear this week and in the days ahead serve as a herald breathlessly shouting with joy that the war has been won! Our enemy, our only enemy, the devil and his fallen angels, has been defeated. The One through whom the entire universe was made, who fashioned each of us out of love in His own image and likeness to be loved and to love, has chosen to become man. God has come to fight for us.

“In the midst of life we are in death: dust we are, and to dust we shall return. There we remain unless there is an intervention from beyond this world order. Only a Power greater than that of Death can countermand that strict arrest.”

Episode 155: No Contest

Nobody in Paul’s day said or thought that Caesar Augustus loved them and gave himself for them. But Paul said this about Jesus. Nobody in Paul’s day said or thought that the various gods of Rome truly cared for them and loved them. At best the gods were to be appeased by various sacrifices and rituals so as not to incur their wrath. But Paul’s contemporary and friend, John, could write the daring and unheard of words: “God is love” (1 John 4:8).

Episode 283: O Mad Lover!

Trust is something that, if we’re honest, we all desperately need. Not trust that God will answer our prayers the way we think best. Trust that He is good, faithful, and knows what He’s doing, especially when we don’t know what He’s doing.

Episode 171: Hope is here!

Erstellt. Gefangen. Rettung. Antwort. [https://RescueProject.us/german]
Wir glauben leidenschaftlich, dass die dringendste Aufgabe die überzeugende Verkündigung des Evangeliums ist, eine Verkündigung, die es nicht nur auf attraktive – und konzentrierte – Weise verbreitet, sondern den Menschen auch die Möglichkeit bietet, die Realität zu sehen und der Welt einen Sinn zu geben. Geschichte und Leben, die sich stark von der Geschichte unterscheiden, die unsere moderne Kultur erzählt.

Solange dies nicht geschieht, wird der christliche Glaube oft nur als eine Reihe von Regeln und Disziplinen erlebt, und der bloße Besuch der Kirche wird einen Menschen wahrscheinlich nicht dazu verleiten, sich auf das große Abenteuer einzulassen, das darin besteht, Jesus nachzufolgen und seine Mission der Erlösung fortzusetzen diese Welt.

Episode 48: Veiling and Unveiling the Mystery

A quick drive down any city street, or walk through any park can instantly reveal where people’s allegiances lie. Bumper stickers, hats, and sweatshirts immediately declare a person to be a Michigan fan, a Swiftie, a Trump or Biden devotee, proudly pro-life or proudly pro-abortion.

Episode 82: We Need to Reimagine Parishes Now

Sports fans often argue about who they think the G.O.A.T. is in any given sport (Greatest Of All Time). Here’s the truth: Jesus is the real G.O.A.T. — and it isn’t even close. He has defeated the power of Death, the power of Sin, and the enemy of our race, the devil. And one day, when He returns to make all things new, He will destroy them, wipe away every tear from our eye, and usher us into the abundant life He has prepared us for.

Episode 156: Something Momentous This Way Comes!

I’ve been fortunate to make this pilgrimage several times before, and it is indeed life-changing — or can be, if we will allow the Holy Spirit to guide us. Christians have gone on pilgrimage almost from the very beginning. We do things like this quite simply because God acts in history, in concrete time and space. Visiting and praying in places where He did wonders of old can serve to remind us that He wants to do them now in our time and space.

Emmanuel doesn’t merely mean “God is with us,” as in “God is in our midst.” It means, “God is on our side.” He has come for us.

Episode 100: Are We Perishing?

As we eavesdrop on Paul teaching Philemon this week, he’s teaching us too. The world is still divided between “us” and “them” — just read the news. The call on the disciple of Jesus is still to announce the good news that the entire human race has been rescued from the powers of Sin and Death, and the subsequent enslaving forces of division, hatred and more. But not just to announce it. To put the power of the Gospel into effect in every dimension of human life, to act like leaven so as to make the world ever more authentically human.

Episode 131: There Is No “Them”

God is not bound by trends. They mean nothing to Him. And thus, while we certainly don’t want to be unaware of them, they should mean more or less nothing to us. The Spirit of God is power. We are not orphans. The mission of the Church is not dependent on our own strength, our own wisdom, or our own initiative. It is the Father’s desire that His creation be rescued and renewed. That’s what Jesus began with His death and resurrection. That’s what the Church continues until that glorious day of the King’s return.

Episode 228: The Wrecking Ball

Fr. Riccardo reflects on the visit of Pope Francis to the United States in this homily from Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church. Fr. John remarks that we must first encounter the love of God before we can truly understand church doctrine. He reminds the congregants that God is calling all of us to grow in faith, and to give witness to others of all that God has done for us.<a rel="payment" href="https://www.actsxxix.org/give">Support Fr.

Episode 670: Town Hall Meeting

In this great Jubilee Year of Hope, I have found myself rereading Pope Benedict XVI’s rich letter on hope from 2007. The words of Saint Paul this week remind me of a passage that I find very provocative as we not only consider the Lord’s resurrection but the life to come which Paul emphatically preaches. I pray you, too, will find it worth praying with this week.

Episode 266: There is Another Side to the Tapestry

Are you in need of a reminder that the Church has always venerated the Scriptures even as She venerates the Body of the Lord? The Word of God is rich food!

Episode 402: Testimonies from The Jesus Conference

Episode 79: Do We Recognize How Important Unity Is?

Advent is a time to prepare ourselves to celebrate the single most important event in the history of the universe: God becoming man to rescue His good creation from cosmic powers we could never defeat on our own and thus reconcile us to Himself and one another. It’s also a time to prepare ourselves for the very real day when this God-man will return as triumphant King to definitively make all things new.
