Fr. Meyer is back and bringing the 🔥 as always. From Steubenville to intense (literally Intense) Catholic youth conferences, this episode is a wide-ranging conversation on evangelization, courage, and how we’re all called to be laborers in the field.
Spoiler alert: there's also a bar, a guy named Rosie, and a spontaneous prayer that might just change your idea of what evangelization can look like.
What’s Going On in This Sunday’s Readings?
📖 Isaiah tells us God’s comfort is as intimate and strong as a mother’s love.
📖 Paul reminds us it’s not about circumcision or uncircumcision—it’s about becoming a new creation.
📖 Luke’s Gospel brings the challenge: Jesus sends out 72 disciples with basically no supplies, just faith and a mission.
So... What’s the Homily Angle?
Fr. Meyer breaks it down: The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are few. He challenges us to stop waiting for someone else (like the priest or youth minister) to evangelize, and start seeing ourselves as missionaries—at work, in our homes, even at the local bar.
His challenge to all of us? Don’t be soft. Be bold in faith. Start small. Practice spontaneous prayer with the simple formula:
Address. Thank. Thank. Ask. Ask. Close.
(Yes, it really works—and yes, your kids can do it too.)
