Let's take a moment to reflect on Matthew 9:14-17. Jesus is the bridegroom and we, as the church, are his bride. This profound mystery should affect the way we approach mass and the Eucharist.Host: Nick De La TorreWebsite: https://awakentheword.show Like our 3 minute reflections?

Today we reflect upon the gospel of Matthew 9:9-12. Jesus dines with tax collectors sinners. We are not called to live only within our little faith communities, but rather to spread the gospel and minister to others.Host: Nick De La TorreWebsite: https://awakentheword.show Like our 3 minute reflections?

What would Jesus do if he was walking the earth right now? Would he reprimand you for your lack of mercy toward others?Host: Mike TenneyWebsite: https://awakentheword.showLike our 3 minute reflections?

How often did Jesus love those who were obvious sinners in society? We are called to do the same and love those around us who are lost, hurting, and in need of God’s mercy.

Where did the Bible come from, how was it written, and who chose the books that went inside of it? Today we reflect on the formation of the Holy Bible!Host: Mike TenneyWebsite: https://awakentheword.showLike our 3 minute reflections?

Today we take a moment to reflect on Romans 5:12-14. “Yet death exercised dominion from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam.” Original sin reveals to us how everything is connected. We are impacted by the choices of our parents and our ancestors. Our sinful natures are due to the choices of Adam and Eve. But no matter what has happened to you, or what you have done, God’s love and mercy for you is beyond measure.

Today we reflect on Acts 13:22-26. “No, but one is coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the thong of the sandals on his feet.” Saint John the Baptist understood that the Messiah was The Word of God made flesh. We should learn from John to have reverence for Christ, our Savior, and recognize also the incredible love of God to descend to us at every mass in the Eucharist.

Today we dive into the gospel of Matthew 6:19-23. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break in and steal.” Are we sacrificing the importance of faith to elevate certain achievements in life? Worldly things will eventually fade away. The only thing that really lasts is a relationship with our Lord.Host: Nick De La TorreEpisode 383Website: https://awakentheword.showLike our 3 minute reflections?Check out Awaken the Saint - https://awakenthesaint.showSpoke Streethttps://spokestreet.com/Awaken Catholichttps://awakencatholic.churchGet the AWAKEN Catholic app athttps://theawakenapp.io
Today we reflect on 1 Peter 4:12-19. “If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the spirit of glory, which is the spirit of God, is resting on you.” What is your faith based on? Is your love of God based solely on the blessings in your life? Be careful that you don’t get caught up in the sensory pleasures of life, but rather focus on the spiritual reality of the state of your soul.Host: Nick De La TorreEpisode 382Website: https://awakentheword.showLike our 3 minute reflections?Check out Awaken the Saint - https://awakenthesaint.showSpoke Streethttps://spokestreet.com/Awaken Catholichttps://awakencatholic.churchGet the AWAKEN Catholic app athttps://theawakenapp.io
Today we take a look at 2 Corinthians 9:6-11. “The one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” How are you living your Christian faith? Are you discipling the people in your immediate circle and in your community? It’s time to show God to people in your life through service. People will not care what you know until they know that you care.

Today we dive into the gospel of Matthew 5:43-48. “Be perfect therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Perfection is not an unattainable goal. In fact, we are called to be perfect in order to enter heaven. Through God’s mercy we have Purgatory as a gift for those of us, who though Christian, still die in an imperfect state.

Today we reflect on the gospel of Matthew 5:38-42. “But I say to you, do not resist an evil doer [...] If anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well.” Don’t be too quick to dismiss the radical love of Jesus. He loved his enemies and those who persecuted him. Likewise, we should go overboard in our generosity toward others, especially those who are unkind to us.

Today we reflect on Exodus 19:2-6. “But you shall be for me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation.” The whole world belongs to God. As Christians, we have been called out of the bondage of sin to be God’s holy nation and a priestly kingdom. How can we emulate that promise to the world around us?Host: Mike TenneyEpisode 378Website: https://awakentheword.showLike our 3 minute reflections?Check out Awaken the Saint - https://awakenthesaint.showSpoke Streethttps://spokestreet.com/Awaken Catholichttps://awakencatholic.churchGet the AWAKEN Catholic app athttps://theawakenapp.io
Today we dive into the gospel of Luke 2:41-51. “They find Jesus in the temple [...] and his mother treasured all of these things in her heart.” When life becomes scary and overwhelming we should take a moment to reflect on things in our hearts rather than reacting in fear or anxiety.Host: Mike TenneyEpisode 377Website: https://awakentheword.showLike our 3 minute reflections?Check out Awaken the Saint - https://awakenthesaint.showSpoke Streethttps://spokestreet.com/Awaken Catholichttps://awakencatholic.churchGet the AWAKEN Catholic app athttps://theawakenapp.io
Today we look at Matthew 11:25-30. “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Today Jesus made it plain that Jesus is the Son of God, and that through Him we can find rest in Him. Through our day to day lives, how can we better rest in His embrace?Host: Mike Tenney Episode 376Website: https://awakentheword.showLike our 3 minute reflections?Check out Awaken the Saint - https://awakenthesaint.showSpoke Streethttps://spokestreet.com/Awaken Catholichttps://awakencatholic.churchGet the AWAKEN Catholic app athttps://theawakenapp.io
Today we reflect on Matthew 5:20-26. “Leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift.” Through the blessings of confession and purgatory, we remember that we must be absolved of our sins first to truly enter into the glory of God.Host: Mike Tenney Episode 375Website: https://awakentheword.showLike our 3 minute reflections?Check out Awaken the Saint - https://awakenthesaint.showSpoke Streethttps://spokestreet.com/Awaken Catholichttps://awakencatholic.churchGet the AWAKEN Catholic app athttps://theawakenapp.io
Today we reflect on Matthew 5:17-19. “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.” Scrupulosity is a massive problem that many people struggle with. How can we better remember that Jesus is trying to call us deeper into His mystery and His love instead of being scrupulous?Host: Mike Tenney Episode 374Website: https://awakentheword.showLike our 3 minute reflections?Check out Awaken the Saint - https://awakenthesaint.showSpoke Streethttps://spokestreet.com/Awaken Catholichttps://awakencatholic.churchGet the AWAKEN Catholic app athttps://theawakenapp.io
Today we reflect on Matthew 5:13-16. “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” In our day to day journeys we can choose to do things selfishly or as a way to spread the Gospel. How can we become a better witness to others and glorify God?Host: Mike Tenney Episode 373Website: https://awakentheword.showLike our 3 minute reflections?Check out Awaken the Saint - https://awakenthesaint.showSpoke Streethttps://spokestreet.com/Awaken Catholichttps://awakencatholic.churchGet the AWAKEN Catholic app athttps://theawakenapp.io
Today we dive into Matthew 5:1-12. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” What does the blessed life really look like? How can we flip our own predetermined opinions and desires, which are based in the world, to what Jesus describes as blessings?Host: Mike Tenney Episode 372Website: https://awakentheword.showLike our 3 minute reflections?Check out Awaken the Saint - https://awakenthesaint.showSpoke Streethttps://spokestreet.com/Awaken Catholichttps://awakencatholic.churchGet the AWAKEN Catholic app athttps://theawakenapp.io
Today we look at 1 Corinthians 10:16-17. “Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.” This bread is not just bread, and this wine is not just wine. Christ is truly there. We share in these so that we can become one body together. Let’s remember when we go to mass that we are communing not with just God, but those around us.Host: Mike Tenney Episode 371Website: https://awakentheword.showLike our 3 minute reflections?Check out Awaken the Saint - https://awakenthesaint.showSpoke Streethttps://spokestreet.com/Awaken Catholichttps://awakencatholic.churchGet the AWAKEN Catholic app athttps://theawakenapp.io
