This sermon is about how to get your kids to heaven in 15 minutes a day. The featured image is Holy Ghost parish in downtown Denver. Some families of this parish used the Baltimore Catechism in the 1980s, and it paid off.
It would be helpful (but not necessary) to have the layman's 1962 Missal on hand to learn the power of this old Missal. The featured image above is St. Francis Xavier whose propers of the Mass we will consider in this "podclass."
The Office is not a particularly edifying TV show and I would not recommend it for its secular world view. I’ve never seen the UK version of The Office and I’ve only seen a few episodes of the American version.

Everyone can fast from something to increase their desire for God.
This Sunday sermon is about why Jesus was not a people-pleaser, and why you shouldn't be one either.
This is sermon is about the separation of Church and State and what to expect at the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. As always, thanks to the Benedictines of Mary who have graciously allowed me to use their music as my podcast bumpers.
This Holy Mass was offered for the soul of Christopherson Cortes. Ora pro nobis if you're already at the finish line.
This sermon is about Catholic entitlement versus Catholic reverence. The photo on the blog is the 1956 wedding of Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly, showing reverence for God and spouse.
