Jubilee and Christ the High Priest – Series on Jesus and the Jubilee (Part 9)
What if your true identity is more sacred than you ever imagined? Jesus is the High Priest, the one mediator who intercedes for us at the Father’s right hand, offering not just prayers but our wounds, our brokenness, and all of humanity’s sins back to God. As His followers, we are invited to imitate and conform to this sacred role—offering spiritual sacrifices and living lives marked by worship, intercession, and transformation.
In this episode, we dive deep into our priestly identity—a calling not reserved for a few but extended to all who follow Christ. We explore what it means to be guardians of worship, to beautify the liturgy, and to walk with a priestly heart, especially as we enter into the profound moments of Holy Week. Join us in this episode as we talk about the characteristics of a priestly heart and how, through Jesus, we are called to reclaim our identity, not just as believers, but as guardians of what is holy.

On Gossip
Have you ever realized that a “harmless” conversation can sometimes start to tear someone down?
In this episode, the friars talk about gossip, why it can be so easy to fall into, why it often feels like connection, and why it never really gives us the communion we’re looking for. Whether it happens at work, in friendships, in community, or around the people we love, gossip can quietly train our hearts to tear down instead of build up.
The friars reflect on the deeper questions beneath gossip: What am I seeking here? Am I trading authenticity for connection? Am I willing to let my discipleship reach even the way I speak about others?
This conversation is a gentle invitation to bring Jesus into our words, our relationships, and the places where we feel tempted to belong at someone else’s expense.
Join us as we learn to speak with greater charity, courage, and freedom, and let our words become a place where Christ is present.

Our successes, belongings, talents, people in our lives, jobs, culture, and technology all make us who we are. We beclothed ourselves with these things and are tempted to find…

Remember Like Mary

Jeremiah was “remember. ” When we don’t know what to do or how to act, Mary tells us to remember her son, Jesus’ actions. That was the case for Fr. Jeremiah, and this is an invitation that extends to all of us. There is a richness and importance that Mary plays for us not to have her be a part of our spiritual life. This episode invites us…
