    Holy Spirit is Life and Love

    Holy Spirit is Life and Love

    Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of the faithful, and enkindle in me the fire of your Love. The Holy Spirit is life. The Holy Spirit is love. When we ask the Holy Spirit to come, we are asking for more of God’s life and more of his love.

    Jesus Ascends so the Holy Spirit Can Descend

    Jesus Ascends so the Holy Spirit Can Descend

    Instead of restoring the Kingdom to Israel, Jesus ascends into heaven. Instead of being in one place at one time, he is now in all times and all places. He goes up so the Spirit can come down.

    A Cloister In Your Heart

    A Cloister In Your Heart

    Monasteries have a cloister that is closed to the world but open to the heavens. So our hearts must have a place that is open to the presence of God but protected from the world. Open your heart to receive God’s love at Mass and then cherish that gift.

    Tuning In To Your Vocation

    Tuning In To Your Vocation

    A television has nothing to offer unless it is tuned to a signal. In the same way, we are called to be so tuned in that others see God’s image in us. I will share with you some ways to improve your reception.

    An Unexpected Guest

    An Unexpected Guest

    You are driving home from church one day when you suddenly realize Jesus is in the back seat. "I've always been with you," he says, "but you were never able to see me until now." Jesus really is with you. Pray that you can see Jesus and be Jesus

    Merciful Jesus, I Trust in You

    Merciful Jesus, I Trust in You

    We Christians are staying close to the empty tomb. What else can the Resurrection teach us? The wounds of Jesus mean that his heart suffers for us. He meets Thomas and heals his doubt. He meets us in Confession and heals our wounds with his tender mercy.

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!

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.

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.
