Fr. John gets close to the 10 minute mark as he reflects on this short but packed gospel reading for this weekend.  We are called to be one family seeking to cast out darkness through love and service.  Can we really reject God's love?  Jesus talks about the unforgiveable sin.  Listen for more!

As we celebrate Corpus Christ, we seek to be filled with Christ to then feed others with Christ.  To receive the Eucharist, we become Jesus who then is shared with those in need.  Jesus is always with us to inspire, ignite and empower us to bring gospel joy to the world.

This weekend we celebrate TRINITY SUNDAY.  Hear Fr. John talk about how basketball connects with God as Father, Son and Spirit.  You be the judge if it makes sense.

This weekend we celebrate Pentecost----the gift of the Holy Spirit.  How can the third person of the Trinity actually help us be disciples?  Why did Jesus give us the Advocate?  Fr. John shares a prayer that helps us understand so much more!

This weekend we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord and receive the great commission of proclaiming the Good News everywhere.  We do this in our own personal lives but also in our parish communities.  Jesus is the vine and we are the branches---and we are called to bear much fruit.  Do we have the courage and trust in the Lord to share His love with the world?  He is always with us and helps us do what seems impossible.

Fr. John concludes this Easter message series by reflecting on how we can be good branches bearing good fruit for the Gospel to be seen in our world. It means remaining connect to Christ the vine.

In this relatively short Gospel we remember that we are chosen by Christ to share his love to the world by our sacrifices and service.  In this way we can bear much fruit----and help transform this world.  We are an Easter people and that makes a difference!!!  Listen for more!

The gospel this weekend reminds us that Jesus is the vine and we are the branches.  We can only produce fruit when we abide in Christ and He in us.  How can we do this in our world today?  Listen to find out how it can and needs to happen today.

This coming weekend we celebrate GOOD SHEPHERD SUNDAY.  Jesus is the Good Shepherd who knows His sheep and His sheep know Him.  Do we recognize the voice of the Lord in the midst of all the noise in our world?  How can we help Jesus bring unity and peace in our world?  Listen to find out more!

Fr. John continues this Easter message series reflecting on the call for us to be distinct witnesses of the resurrection so that we can transform our world. He even talks about Coca-Cola bottles!! Watch to learn more!!
