Dante's Inferno

&quot;Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom&quot;On this Good Friday, come listen to the story of the saint we call to mind on this Holy Day every year. Though we know very little about the life of Saint Dismas, his conversion on the cross has moved hearts for 2,000 years. Come enter in to the story of the good thief like you&apos;ve never heard it before. Parental Guidance: Though much of this story is imagined, it has intense elements involving the crucifixion and death of Our Lord and the wayward life of a thief.

Saint Dismas

Ever feel like God is inviting you back to something, but you're not quite sure how to step into it? After time away, Fr. Angelus returns, and the conversation picks up right where grace has been quietly at work. There's a sense of homecoming here, but also a deeper invitation to listen, to trust, and to respond to what the Lord is doing beneath the surface. In this episode, the friars reflect on what it means to return, not just physically, but spiritually. They talk about the movements of the heart, the subtle ways God calls us forward, and how renewal often begins in places we didn't expect. Join us as we welcome Fr. Angelus back and lean into the quiet, steady work of God who is always drawing us deeper.

Fr. Angelus Returns

Homily from Easter Sunday. Everything given and taken is restored. Jesus did not rise from the dead to merely prove a point. He rose so that all could be restored. Everything we give to Him...everything we allow Him to take...all of it can be restored.<dl style="margin : 0; padding-top:0;"><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Mass Readings from April 5, 2026:</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Acts 10:34,37-43</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Psalms 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;">Colossians 3:1-4</dt> John 20:1-9

04/05/26 Easter Sunday: Everything is Restored

Have you ever said the words from the Creed at Mass, “he descended into hell” and wondered, “Really? Jesus did? Why?” The Catechism shares the secrets of this line from the Creed and shows us how Jesus’ descent into hell “brings the Gospel message of salvation to complete fulfillment.” Fr. Mike makes it clear to us that Jesus did not come to save only the righteous who happened to be alive during his time here on earth, but he came to save all those righteous men and women who came before him and would come after him. Today&#39;s readings are Catechism paragraphs 631-637.

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.
