Opening Prayer

Hail Mary, full of grace. 

The Lord is with thee. 

Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. 

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

In this episode, we continue discussing the life of Jesus by going through some of the Parables.  To live according to his example, he calls on us, like it or not, to give up everything we have.  We go over why so many Christians fail to heed this call, and how important it is to do so.

Opening prayer

You proclaimed the poor to be blessed, Lord Jesus, for the kingdom of heaven is given to them. 

Fill us generously with your gifts. 

Teach us to put our trust in the Father and to seek his kingdom first of all rather than imitate the powerful and envy of the rich.

In this episode, we consider the purpose of the "Our Father" - the prayer that Jesus taught us.  By mindfully praying this prayer, we can examine our lives to see if we are living up to a life of virtue.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, 
Hallowed be Thy Name. 
Thy Kingdom come. 
Thy Will be done, 
on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. 
And forgive us our trespasses, 
as we forgive those who trespass against us. 
And lead us not into temptation, 
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

In this episode, we pick up the story of Jesus with his baptism and the temptations in the desert.  By understanding his mission and the mission he called the apostles to join, we can better understand how we can serve that mission today as Christians.

Opening prayer
Almighty ever-living God, who, when Christ had been baptized in the River Jordan and as the Holy Spirit descended upon him, solemnly declared him your beloved Son, grant that your children by adoption, reborn of water and the Holy Spirit, may always be well pleasing to you. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful
and enkindle in them the fire of your love.

Let us pray.
O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit,
did instruct the hearts of the faithful,
grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise
and ever to rejoice in His consolation.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Opening Prayer

Pour forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by his passion and cross be brought to the glory of his resurrection, through the same Christ our Lord.
