    Join us as parishioner, Gerald, leads us in reflection on the Eucharist in this episode of The Lenten Path. As the source and summit of our faith, the Eucharist is more than a ritual—it is an invitation to self-giving love, deep communion with Christ, and transformation through His sacrifice. Drawing from Scripture, Church teaching, and personal experiences, Gerald explores how the Eucharist unites us with Christ and calls us to be bearers of His love in the world. He shares a powerful story from his prison ministry, where one man’s longing for the Eucharist became a journey of faith and renewal. During the episode, Gerald reflects on the words of Cardinal Tagle: “The presence of Jesus in the Eucharist is a gift in the fulfillment of His mission… His mission is not just about work, but the gift of oneself.” Through this lens, we are challenged to embrace the Eucharist as a call to love without partiality, to serve, and to become walking tabernacles of Christ’s presence.

    Join us as Deacon Scott leads us in reflection on Mary, our Blessed Mother, and her role in salvation history in this episode of The Lenten Path. Though our Mother Mary speaks only briefly in the New Testament, her words hold the keys to the Christian life. Deacon Scott explores the Annunciation, where Mary’s response to the angel Gabriel—her fiat—changed the course of history. Her willingness to surrender to God's will offers us a model of faith, trust, and discipleship, even in times of uncertainty and suffering. During the episode, Deacon Scott reflects on Luke 1:38, where Mary responds to God’s call with complete trust: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” (Luke 1:38).

    Join us as seminarian Ryan leads us in reflection on the meaning of fasting in this episode of The Lenten Path. As we journey through Lent, fasting is more than just abstaining from food—it is an invitation to deeper compassion, solidarity, and spiritual growth. Through personal experiences and Scripture, Ryan challenges us to go beyond mere self-denial and embrace fasting as a way to unite ourselves with the suffering of others and the hunger Jesus has for justice. During the episode, Ryan reflects on Isaiah 58:7, which reveals the kind of fasting that pleases the Lord: “Is it not sharing your bread with the hungry, bringing the afflicted and the homeless into your house; clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own flesh?” (Isaiah 58:7)

    Join us today as Mary reflects on the theme of surrender and trust in this episode of The Lenten Way. As a full-time working mom, Mary understands the struggle of letting go of control and relying on God’s grace. Lent is a season of surrender—a time to release our burdens, trust in the Lord, and find peace in His presence. Through personal experiences and reflection, Mary invites us to consider what we need to lay at Christ’s feet this Lent. Mary focuses on Matthew 11:28-30, where Jesus calls us to rest in Him: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” (Matthew 11:28-30, NAB)

    Join us as Angie kicks off our brand-new podcast, The Lenten Way. In this first episode, we explore how Lent can be more than just a season of sacrifice—it’s an opportunity for real, lasting change. Whether it’s breaking a bad habit, deepening your faith, or making space for God in your daily life, Lent invites us to grow in ways that matter. Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to walk this sacred journey with intention, renewal, and hope as we prepare our hearts for Easter. During the podcast Angie will focus on the bible passage Matthew 16:24-25, "Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,* take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."
