Episode 106: Used to the Magnificent?
Feb 5, 202500:06:05Tap to summarizePaul reminds us in another letter that this laying down of Jesus’ life wasn’t some generic sacrifice offered up by the Creator of the universe but rather was a personal act of love for him, Paul, by name. “I have been crucified with Christ,” Paul writes to the Galatians. “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). actsxxix.org/trailer/106 ======= Have a comment about this podcast?

Transcribe →Episode 105: Playing Catch Up
Jan 29, 202500:04:38Tap to summarizePaul is for me the best example of a man whose psychology caught up with his ontology when he wrote, “For me, life is Christ and death is gain” (Phil 1:21). Gain! In other words, so long as we live, we will do so for the glory of God and the good of our neighbor. But death need not frighten us. It has no power over us. What’s up head is infinitely greater than all that is behind. Hebrews 2:14-18 actsxxix.org/trailer/105 ======= Have a comment about this podcast? Contact us!

Transcribe →Episode 104: Can Unity Really Happen?
Jan 22, 202500:09:18Tap to summarize“You are Christ’s body,” Paul says. This is not an image. It’s a reality. In baptism we personally became members of Jesus’ body. His body has many parts, and so we are united not only to Him but to each other through our unity with Him. It cannot be otherwise. When we receive the Eucharist too, we are united not only to Him but to each other. This is unlike anything the world can conceive or do. https://www.actsxxix.org/trailer/104 ======= Have a comment about this podcast? Contact us!

Transcribe →Episode 103: There Are No Bystanders!
Jan 15, 202500:07:52Tap to summarizeThe truth is that our communities need us all to contribute; everyone needs to step up. As my Archbishop, Allen Vigneron of Detroit puts it, “There are no bystanders in the Church” — and no consumers. https://www.actsxxix.org/trailer/103 Have a comment about this podcast? Contact us!

Transcribe →Episode 102: Mother of God, Teach Us to Trust!
Jan 1, 202500:10:09Tap to summarizeTrust 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. Gal 4:4-7 ======= Have a comment about this podcast? Contact us!

Transcribe →Episode 101: O Come Let Us Adore Him!
Dec 25, 202400:07:51Tap to summarizeA God who many of us don’t even know, whom we had no idea was real, let alone who loves us, is answering the cry of our hearts. He has come among us, hidden in human flesh, to reveal that God is love, that we are not disqualified or discarded because of our brokenness and sins, and to fight against the enemies we could never defeat (Death, Sin and the devil). https://www.actsxxix.org/trailer/101 ======= Have a comment about this podcast?

Transcribe →Episode 100: Breathless
Dec 18, 202400:06:13Tap to summarizeThe 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. read it here Have a comment about this podcast? Contact us! Click To Learn More About ACTS XXIX Support Thoughts from the Trailer with Fr. John Riccardo
