When Jesus’ disciples asks how many will be saved, Jesus gives them a disturbing answer. What did he mean by the narrow door? How are we to understand this difficult teaching? Listen to Fr. Michael Novotny tackle this difficult text.

This Sunday marks the beginning of the Lenten season. Our gospel text come from Luke 4:1-13 and gives us the story of Jesus’ temptation in the desert. What did Jesus’ temptation accomplish for us? What is the significance of this important event in Jesus’ life?

What does it mean to love your enemies? Who are your enemies? What did Jesus mean when he preached his famous sermon in Luke 6:27-38? Jarrod Hill helps us understand this difficult passage.

In Luke 6:17-26, Jesus said those who are poor, hungry, and weep are blessed. The psalmist said “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked.” What does it mean to live the blessed life? Join Fr. Michael Novotny as we consider this together.

When Thomas saw the risen Christ, he exclaimed, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus’ response was, “…Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Listen to Fr. Gerry McDermott explain why true faith is not blind on World Mission Sunday.
