Day 88: Joshua's Last Words to Israel (2024)

Fr. Mike focuses on the last words Joshua speaks to the people of Israel, and how he calls them to choose the Lord above all other things. We all have idols in our lives that take us away from God; how are we choosing to love Christ above these idols today? Today's readings are Joshua 22-24, and Psalm 132.

Why Baptism Is Salvific

Baptism is not just something to check off on the “To Do” list of the Christian life. So, what is it and what does it do? How can we understand the mystery of Baptism? Michael Gormley and Dave VanVickle tackle these questions and encourage believers to share the truth about Baptism.
Snippet from the Show
Baptism is salvific because it communicates the very life of God.

The Tightrope: Reflections for Busy Catholics

Ascension

Pursuing Real Freedom

Freedom is tied in the very identity of God and who we as his children made in his image and likeness. Understanding the real meaning of freedom revealed to us by Christ, will help us respond to the evils of our world and build a more just and virtuous society. As Catholics, our liberty must ultimately point to the participation in the Divine life.
Snippet From the Show:
“Real liberty is the ability to make a gift of oneself.”
