Lessons from St. Joseph | Fr Michael Sparough
Fr. Michael Sparough reflects on the faith and resilience of St. Joseph and the Virgin Mary, exploring the human emotions and challenges they faced during the Nativity story.

The Simple Start to Salvation | Fr. Michael Sparough
Fr. Michael Sparough guides us through a meditation on the Nativity, as seen through the lens of St. Ignatius Loyola's Spiritual Exercises. With insights and scriptural analysis, he delves into the humility of the Incarnation: God's choice of a peasant girl, Mary, to be the mother of Jesus, and the contrast between the world's power—symbolized by Caesar Augustus—and the divine love born in a manger. Fr. Sparough connects the message of the Christmas story to our daily lives, urging us to open our hearts to God’s love and embrace our identity as God’s beloved. With poetry a...

Is the Holy Spirit moving us towards a spirituality that is practice-based and practice-oriented rather than faith-based and belief-oriented? This week, Ruth and Fr.

Michael shares the ecumenical spiritual practices that have been the most transformative and the power he finds in praying and acting together across different faith traditions. They also discuss the ways in which a belief-oriented faith leaves us feeling responsible to defend the faith and God above all else. This season we are exploring the future...

When the master learned of this, he became angry and turned the debtor over to the ones whom he tortured until his entire debt was paid....
