Enkindle 140 – 01.08.23 – A Gift of Response Jan 05, 2023

Show notes

In this reflection for The Epiphany of the Lord 2023, Catherine and Patrick Sullivan show us that Epiphany is about encountering and responding to the Lord.

After encountering the Lord in our own lives, we can follow the example of the Magi and set out on an adventure of welcome to those around us, responding with joy to Christ, or we can act like Herod, dig our heels in, and demand comfort and an unchanging routine. Which way should we respond?

Show notes

In this reflection for the 4th Sunday of Advent, Kristen Fisher reminds us that God loves us so much that he gives us the choice to participate in his plan for the salvation of the world.

The God of all the universe, who does not need our help, chooses to welcome and invite our help and our cooperation like he did for Joseph, son of David. God invites us to welcome salvation into our own lives and includes us in his great work of saving the whole world.

Enkindle 135 – 12.04.22 – From the Stump of Jesse Dec 01, 2022

Show notes

In this reflection for the Second Sunday of Advent, 2022, Kristen Fisher reminds us that God never forgets his promises and that he will never abandon us.

God knew that the Israelites would lose their kings and their kingdom. God knew that they kept letting the real enemy, Satan, into their hearts and that would lead to a big old mess. He knew that they would fear that God had abandoned them, even though what really happened was that they had abandoned God, but God will never abandon them. Then God sent his son, Jesus, the Messiah, the Savior, the one who would rescue them, and all of us from our greatest enemy. During Advent, and during every moment of our lives, God never forgets his promises, and he will never abandon us. He has sent his son Jesus, born at Christmas in Bethlehem, which by the way is the same town that David was from. God has sent Jesus to conquer the enemy and rescue us, but we have to stop letting that enemy into our hearts and our lives. Let us repent and welcome him into our hearts this Advent.

Enkindle 134 – 11.27.22 – Up the Mountain Nov 25, 2022

Show notes

In this reflection for the first Sunday of Advent, Fr. Erik reminds us that matter what our age is, each of us can do special things to get ready for Christmas.

Climbing a mountain isn’t something that you do casually without planning, preparation and making sure that you’re ready for it. In the Bible, the mountains are often the place where people go to meet God. Advent is meant to prepare us for Christmas. This is for every one of us, old and young, each one of us. No matter what our age is, each of us can do special things to get ready for Christmas. It will look different if we’re eight years old, than if we’re 80 years old. What we do during Advent will look different if we’re a mom taking care of four kids or if we’re retired. It will look different for me as a priest than it will for a high school student. But each of us is invited to prepare our hearts to encounter the Lord in a new.

Show notes

In this reflection for the Solemnity of Christ the King, Adam Novotny reminds us that Christ is a King, and that his kingdom transfers to us, whom he loves.

Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the anointed one of God who is king of the universe, and we can now enter into that heavenly kingdom because he ransomed himself as the Lamb of God in forgiveness for our sins, so that we can be together with him as inheritors of the kingdom in heaven forever.

Show notes

There’s a time that will come when this world will pass away, and if we’re willing to put the spiritual work in now, not only will we live happier lives here on Earth, but we’ll be ready to meet Jesus in the next.

Enkindle 131 – 11.06.22 – Spend Our Lives Well Nov 03, 2022

Show notes

In this reflection for the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Kristen Fisher shares that thinking about death reminds us to spend our lives well.

“What you are now, we were; but what we are now, you will be.” Memento mori: remember that you will die. Remember that, so that you live this life well and that you get to know the Lord well. So that you know exactly who is waiting for you on the other side of death. Because it’s the same person who loves you perfectly even now.
