    06/01/25 Pillar and Foundation: Canon of Scripture
    May 31 2025

    Homily from the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord.

    Jesus didn't give us the Bible. He gave us the Church. And the Church gave us the Bible.

    All Christians believe in the 27 books of the New Testament. We all believe these books are the inspired Word of God based on the authority of the Church to recognize this truth and teach it. The same Church has the authority to declare the 46 books of the Old Testament as well.

    June 1, 2025: Acts 7:55-60 Psalm 97:1-2, 6-7, 9Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20

    John 17:20-26

    Homily from the Sixth Sunday of Easter.

    Do we rely on the Bible alone?

    The Church is not optional. When there is a question that is not covered explicitly in the Bible (and even when it is), where do we look for guidance?

    Mass Readings from May 25, 2025: Acts 15:1-2, 22-29 Psalm 67:2-3, 5, 6, 8Revelation 21:10-14, 22-23

    May 17 2025

    Homily from the Fifth Sunday of Easter.

    Life is difficult. You don't have to move on alone.

    In a difficult life and a difficult mission, Paul had someone with him who helped him continue to do the work he was called to do. Paul had someone who helped him move on.

    Mass Readings from May 18, 2025: Acts 14:21-27 Psalm 145:8-13Revelation 21:1-5

Thank you Fr Mike for the effort you make to give a high quality homily with good production quality too. Your pearl was a launching point for me this weekend when I was stuck, not sure what to preach on.

I hope Father Mike hears or reads these reviews. I started with Bible in a Year on 1/01/23 and now have three of his podcasts in my library. He has changed everything about my relationship with God and my view of the Bible. I have been up and down with God for my whole life, mostly down. I have found new hope, and yes, even LOVE for God the Father now. I have been humbled and am working my way into a fulfilling and loving relationship with the Almighty, thanks to the care of Father Mike. I am grateful.

Father Mike FTW (for the win)
