A New Year’s Resolution

What if this year’s resolution isn’t about fixing your life, but about trusting God in the middle of it? As a new year begins, the friars talk honestly about goals, growth, and the tension between good intentions and real life. But the conversation quickly turns deeper. Drawing from the Gospel scene of the storm at sea, they reflect on the haunting question the disciples ask Jesus: “Do you not care that we are perishing?” This episode invites us to start the year not by avoiding the storms we’re in, but by naming them and discovering that Jesus is already in the boat with us. His silence isn’t indifference. His meekness isn’t distance. It’s the quiet confidence of a God who cares deeply, stays close, and is already at work. Join us as we begin the year by seeking the one resolution that changes everything: learning to trust that He truly cares.

Do Priests Retire from Priesthood?

Do priests stop being priests when they retire? Do they stop wearing their collar? In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim explains why priesthood isn’t a job you retire from, it’s a vocation you live to the end. Just as parents never stop being parents, a priest never stops being a spiritual father. Priests may retire from active ministry, but they never retire from loving, serving, and bringing Jesus to the world. As Scripture says: “You are a priest forever.”

Best New Year’s Resolution

As a new year begins, many of our resolutions focus on good things, like financial stability, relationships, personal strength. But none of those goals are eternal. They won’t be measured in heaven. What is eternal is our relationship with Jesus, the virtue we grow in, and the way we love. On the Feast of the Epiphany, the Magi, the shepherds, Mary, and Joseph all share one single focus: Jesus Himself. So set your goals for 2026, but don’t forget the most important resolution of all. One word. One focus. Jesus.

The Blessed Mother

Have you ever struggled to believe that God could really work through your weakness? In this episode, the friars turn their gaze to the Blessed Mother and the quiet, radical way she lived the Beatitudes. They reflect on Mary’s poverty of spirit, her meekness, and her total availability to God, not as something distant or unattainable, but as a lived posture of trust, openness, and surrender. They explore how Mary’s emptiness became the space where God did His greatest work, how her confidence came from knowing who she was before the Father, and how her motherhood continues to draw close to us in our own poverty and need. Join us as we entrust ourselves again to our Mother and learn how her “yes” teaches us how to receive God more fully in our own lives.

Are Science and God At Odds?

Is believing in science incompatible with believing in God? What about evolution, the age of the universe, or the Big Bang? In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Edward explains why faith and science don’t contradict each other and never have. From the biblical account of Creation to modern scientific discoveries, learn how the Church understands time, truth, and the role of science in revealing the work of our Creator. Faith doesn’t fear science. When science is at the service of truth, it helps us better understand God.

The Best Institution

St. John Paul II once said that the greatest institution that has ever existed and ever will exist is the family. Greater than any corporation, league, or system we can imagine. On the Feast of the Holy Family, we’re reminded that Jesus, Mary, and Joseph placed their family life entirely in God’s hands and that trust led them into the greatest adventure of all. Their home wasn’t perfect or easy, but it was rooted in surrender. No matter how messy, broken, or complicated our own families may feel, we’re called to do the same. If we want to change the world, it has to begin with healing and holiness, in our families.

Greatest Christmas Present

On Christmas Day, the math is surprisingly simple: the person who has God has everything, the person who doesn’t have God has nothing, and the person who has God plus everything else is no greater than the one who has God alone. That’s the heart of Christmas. God doesn’t just give us something. He gives us Himself. Jesus is the greatest gift ever offered, fully given and fully available to us. This Christmas, we’re invited to receive the gift that truly satisfies: God with us.

Meekness: The Manger and the Storm

Have you ever felt frustrated when Jesus seems quiet while everything around you is falling apart? In this episode, the friars continue reflecting on “Blessed are the meek,” turning to two striking images: Jesus asleep in the manger and Jesus asleep in the boat during the storm. Both reveal a confidence rooted not in control, but in trust. Trust in the Father, trust in victory, even when chaos is loud, and fear feels close. They talk honestly about the frustration we feel when Jesus seems distant or inactive while we’re struggling. And they invite us to see that His silence isn’t absence, it’s the patience of love at work. Join us as we learn to trust Jesus in the storm and discover the peace that comes from knowing He is already with us.

Why Is The Eucharist Not Mentioned In The Creed?

We pray the Creed every Sunday, but have you ever noticed something missing? Why doesn’t it explicitly mention the Eucharist? In this episode of Ask A Priest, Father Tim explains why the Eucharist wasn’t included in the Creed, not because it was unimportant, but because it was never questioned. For the first thousand years of Christianity, belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist was assumed, lived, and loved by the faithful. The Creed was written to defend what was under attack, and the Eucharist didn’t need defending… until later.

Who Jesus Is

Who’s the most powerful person to ever come out of Kansas? Clark Kent, aka Superman. And the reason he’s Superman isn’t just where he came from, but who formed him. In this Sunday’s Gospel, the mystery of the Virgin Birth helps us understand something even greater: this is who Jesus is. Fully God and fully human. His divinity comes from the Father in heaven, and His humanity comes through Mary, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is shaped by the Father, formed by Mary and Joseph, and sent for us. As Christmas approaches, we’re invited to pause and reflect on the beauty of who He truly is God with us.
