Twenty-nineth Sunday in Ordinary TimeIn today’s Gospel, Jesus asks, “Whose image is this?” The coin bears Caesar’s image, but every human person bears the image and likeness of God. As Catholics, our faith must shape not only our prayer but also how we live, serve, and participate in public life. As Missourians consider Amendment 3, we are called to form our consciences according to the dignity and sacredness of human life, especially the most vulnerable. Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar—but never forget that every human life belongs to God.Scripture Readings for Sunday October 18thIsaiah 45:1, 4-6Psalm 96:1, 3-5, 7-101 Thessalonians 1:1-5Matthew 22:15-21

Episode 347: Our Personal Vineyard
Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary TimeThe vineyard referenced in our first reading and Gospel is representative of Israel, the chosen people. As decedents of Israel we do not own our own vineyards, but are simply stewards. We are responsible for caring for our own. We may understand the value of time, but do we understand the value of value? Going forward, how do we protect, sustain, and nurture our vineyards? St. Paul is clear, "whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me. Then the God of peace will be with you."Scripture Readings for October 4, 2026Isaiah 5:1-7Psalm 80:9, 12-16, 19-20Philippians 4:6-9Matthew 21:33-43

Episode 346: Is Heaven Boring?
Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary TimeIs heaven boring? Though we do not have exact evidence what heaven truly is—but we can also look at heaven from what it is not. Heaven is not simply escaping hell, receiving a reward, or looking down upon those who are lost. Heaven is perfect communion with God: the fulfillment of our deepest desires for love, joy, peace, and belonging. Because God is infinite, we can never exhaust His goodness or beauty. The Christian life, then, is about more than simply “getting to heaven.” It is about learning to love God now and becoming the people He created us to be. Heaven will not be boring. It is where we will finally be fully alive.Scripture Reading for September 27, 2026Ezekiel 18:25-28Psalm 25:4-9Philippians 2:1-11Matthew 21:28-32
