    The Real Mission of a Catholic Priest

    The Real Mission of a Catholic Priest

    What if God is not calling me to win the culture war, save all the marriages and keep the churches open? I look at 3 or 4 things that I think God is actually calling us to. Then I show how these four things are also the mission that Jesus lived.

    The One Commandment that Does Not Make Sense

    The One Commandment that Does Not Make Sense

    Why would God command his people to take a day off, especially people who were living hand-to-mouth? God wants us to trust that he is a good Father and he will provide for his children. He wants his children to be rested and renewed and re-created.

    The Most Disturbing Passage in the Bible?

    The Most Disturbing Passage in the Bible?

    There are people that live with radical trust in God. The rest of us have to wrestle with God. Some people think you mustn't get mad at God. Others drift away from God when it hurts. God would sacrifice even his Son to have you back again.

    Out of Order

    Out of Order

    Humans are part of a sacred order. We also have a sacred order within us. Our physical side needs to be ordered by our spirit towards truth and goodness and beauty. If not disciplined, your body will become fat and lazy. Get back in order!

    Be My vaLENTine

    Be My vaLENTine

    Anyone can say, "I love you." How do we know if someone really loves us? We know that Jesus is True Love because he sacrifices himself for us. If we truly love Jesus, than we will not just say, "I love you," but we also have to sacrifice for Him.

    Sin is Contagious - Lent Holds the Cure

    The leper must remove himself from the community in order to save the community. The seven deadly sins not only hurt us, but they are also toxic to community. The three traditional "works" of Lent speed the healing of our souls.

Fr. Joel’s Podcast has been a game changer!

I am so grateful for Fr. Joel and his way of sharing the love of Jesus and Mary with us. His homilies always leave me with things to ponder and ways to grow my faith. Thank you Fr. Joel for making your words available to us anytime anywhere.

Oriens

Fr Joel, also the Author of the ‘Oriens’ series, is truly a ‘sunrise’ and an ‘awakening’ to me. You see I’ve ‘known’ Fr. Joel since 2016 BUT I didn’t know him at all. Not only is his series ‘Oriens’ an ‘awakening’ but these podcasts! As I listen to these in a quiet, private, silent space he truly delivers the Holy Spirit in abundance. I am blessed to have found these ‘pods’ to embrace one, two or more in a sitting! God bless Fr. Joel and I’m so glad I got to ‘know’ you - the reflection of Christ!

Relatable always

Fr Joel has a beautiful gift of relating the scripture readings and gospel into every day life. What a blessing it is that he shares his gift with those who can not attend mass with him.
