    Are Your Possessions Possessing You? | Alive

    Are your possessions possessing you? We spend so much of our lives trying to earn more, own more, and hold on to what we have. But what if the very things we’re holding on to are keeping us from experiencing true freedom? In this week’s Alive, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reflects on the Gospel for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Matthew 22:15–21), where Jesus tells us to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God. Fr. Meyer reminds us that everything we have is a gift from God. Through a fascinating story about monkeys who become trapped simply because they refuse to let go of a banana, he challenges us to examine what we’re holding on to in our own lives. Sometimes the only thing standing between us and freedom is our unwillingness to let go. What are you holding on to? Money? Possessions? Control? Comfort? God doesn’t want us to be trapped by the things of this world. He wants us to be free! 📖 Gospel Discussion Questions 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time — Matthew 22:15–21 What is the message or story? What is the Good News in this passage? Why do we pay taxes? What are the benefits of taxes? Is Jesus concerned with opinion? How much does opinion sway us? How do we regard people’s status in a negative way? How can we repay God for all He has done for us? ☕ Join the conversation! Gather with your family, friends, or small group to reflect on these questions as you prepare for Sunday Mass. 🙏 Share this video with someone who needs a reminder that true freedom comes not from what we possess, but from what we’re willing to give. Let’s journey together. Let’s be saints! #Alive #FatherJonathanMeyer #CatholicFaith #SundayGospel #Matthew22 #CatholicBibleStudy #Generosity

    What Is the Highlight of Your Sunday? NFL or Mass? | Catholic Homily

    What does your entire week lead up to? Fr. John Hollowell begins with a commercial declaring that everything in the work week leads up to NFL Sunday. But for Christians, Sunday is meant to lead us somewhere much greater: the Mass. Reflecting on St. Paul’s words, “Have no anxiety at all,” Fr. Hollowell challenges us to pay attention to what we allow into our minds and hearts. Social media, advertising, news, and the constant noise of the world can cultivate fear and anxiety. St. Paul offers another way: Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely… think about these things. Beautiful art. Sacred music. Great films. Cooking and sharing a meal. Working with our hands. Time outside. Prayer. Friendship. And above all, the Mass. These aren’t simply pleasant distractions. They can turn our attention back toward the One who is Truth, Beauty, and Joy Himself—Jesus Christ. Sunday isn’t simply the end of another week. It’s the Lord’s Day—a day to worship, rest, celebrate, and prepare our hearts for whatever the coming week may bring. Have no fear. Have no anxiety. Fix your mind on what is true, pure, and lovely—and trust in Christ. Be a saint. Be the difference.

    God Wants to Marry You | Alive

    What if the Gospel’s wedding banquet is about much more than a party? What if it reveals something incredible about God’s relationship with us? In this week’s Alive, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reflects on Matthew 22:1–14 and the parable of the wedding feast. God the Father prepares a wedding banquet for His Son—and the bride is the Church. Fr. Meyer explains how this image helps us understand the Mass and the Eucharist in a deeper way. We, the Church, are the Bride of Christ, invited to the wedding feast and called into communion with Jesus. The invitation has been sent. Will we come to the wedding feast? Gospel Discussion Questions 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time — Matthew 22:1–14 What is the message or story? What is the Good News in this passage? Who is the King in this story? Why is the context a wedding feast? Why a wedding? Have you ever rejected an invitation from God? Why? What are the most common reasons people reject God and His invitations? Have you ever helped plan a wedding? Was it easy, fun, tiring, rewarding? What would you have felt like if no one came to your wedding feast? What are some of the positive feelings and emotions you have surrounding wedding receptions? What does that have to do with heaven? How is heaven like a wedding feast? ☕ Gather with your family, friends, or small group and spend some time with these questions as you prepare for Sunday Mass. Let’s journey together. Let’s be saints.

    You Are Not Your Past: God Can Still Transform Your Life | Catholic Homily

    You are not your past. You are not your sins. You are a child of God—and there is hope. In this homily, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reflects on the powerful message from Ezekiel: no matter the sin, addiction, brokenness, or darkness in our past, God gives us the freedom to turn back to Him and begin again. Fr. Meyer leads the congregation through a simple prayer of hope: I am not my past. I am not my sins. I am not my worst day. I am a child of God. I am deeply loved. There is hope. God has a plan for me. He then reflects on his recent pilgrimage with parishioners to the beatification of Fulton J. Sheen and the extraordinary impact Sheen had in proclaiming the Gospel through television and preaching. On the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul, we are also reminded that our faith calls us to see Christ in others—especially those who are suffering, struggling, or carrying wounds we may never see. Whatever happened yesterday does not have to determine tomorrow. We have the freedom to repent, choose the good, and live as beloved sons and daughters of God. 🙏 St. Vincent de Paul, pray for us. 🙏 Fulton J. Sheen, pray for us. Be a saint. Be the difference.

    What Happens to Your Stuff When You Die? | Alive

    What happens to everything we own when we die—and why are we holding onto so much of it now? On the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reflects on possessions, inheritance, generosity, and the radical simplicity of St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis walked away from wealth and inheritance to embrace a life of poverty and freedom. His example raises some challenging questions for us: How attached are we to our possessions? What are we doing with what God has given us? And are we waiting until we die to be generous? Inheritance and possessions can easily become sources of conflict within families. But as Christians, we have an opportunity to approach them differently—with intentionality, generosity, and freedom. You can’t take your possessions with you. But you can use them for good right now. Join us for Alive, our weekly preparation for Sunday’s Gospel, and use the questions below for personal reflection, family discussion, or a small group. 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time | Matthew 21:33–43 Gospel Discussion Questions * What is the message or story? * What is the Good News in this passage? * To whom is this story addressed? Why is this important? * How do we see the things, possessions, and blessings in our lives as ours when they are really God’s? * Has your family ever experienced division over inheritance money? How do you prevent this? * Do you know someone who has been rejected by the “in-crowd” but then accepted by the minority? * Who are the people in our world that are hungry for the Gospel and for the Truth: the rich and famous or the poor and needy? * Are you receptive to the Gospel? * Are you a good tenant of the Lord? Be a saint. Be the difference.
