Heart to Heart, A Catholic Media Ministry
“Go into all the world and proclaim the
Good News to all creation.” Mark 16:15
In the Gospel, Jesus is accused of driving out demons in the name of Beelzebul but again, Jesus turns the attack back on His attackers. Fr. Michael reminds us that Satan loves deception and tricks. We must pray hard to distinguish between God’s Spirit and the evil spirit. When we hear the good spirit of…
On this commemoration of the 100 year anniversary of the last apparition to the three children at Fatima, Fr. Michael expounds on the 15 promises that Mary gave for those who devoutly pray the Rosary. Hint: If the Rosary isn’t a regular part of your prayer life, now might be a good time to start.…
Jesus was a master of turning a well known story on its head to force his listeners to look deeper into themselves and into their beliefs and actions. This introspection is no less important today than it was in Jesus’ time. Are you able to be humble? Can you empty yourself for Christ? Read the…
Today’s homily reminds us that we are called to live generously because we have been generously blessed by God. Fr. Michael points out the challenge of being generous without needing recognition or accolades. Can you live generously out of simple gratitude for God’s generous blessings? Read the homily transcript here: We Are Called to Live…
Despite our cultural and societal differences, Fr. Michael reminds us that St. Paul called early Christians to be “One in Christ.” This oneness, this unity, should transcend human divisions. Just as in Paul’s day, we too have divisions in our society that we must overcome to truly be united in Christ. One division in our country…
Going the wrong way. Too sick to walk. Loaded down with stuff. Weak and wandering. Just for looks. These are the anti-symbols of the Camino. Watch as Fr. Michael demonstrates each true symbol and how they can help us grow closer to God even if we can’t fly to Spain and walk the path ourselves.…
Are we just like Peter or is Peter just like us? One minute he’s the rock, the foundation of the faith, and the next he tries to tell Jesus what to do and how to do it. As hurricanes ravage the southern parts of our country (and the island nations surrounding them) humanity shines forth.…
Do you trust God or do you pay lip service to your faith? Who are the “Poor in Spirit”? Sometimes the answers to these questions are difficult to face and not what we expect them to be. Watch as Fr. Michael describes his own failure to truly trust God and his realization that his own…
Fr. Michael gave this powerful homily last Sunday, Aug. 20, 2017 in response to the violence from Charlottesville, VA on Aug. 11-12, 2017 in which one woman tragically lost her life. This homily, like the Gospel which precedes it, has many layers. It is worth listening to in its entirety, perhaps even more than once.…
To get the most out of this episode on Saints (our Catholic mentors) you really need to watch the full episode, but if you only have 5 minutes, catch the shortened version as a primer. One catch though is that the ending “Sound Poem” may not make sense until you watch Fr. Michael explain it…
