Fr. Meyer is back and bringing the đ„ as always. From Steubenville to intense (literally Intense) Catholic youth conferences, this episode is a wide-ranging conversation on evangelization, courage, and how weâre 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.
Whatâs Going On in This Sundayâs Readings?
đ Isaiah tells us Godâs comfort is as intimate and strong as a motherâs love.
đ Paul reminds us itâs not about circumcision or uncircumcisionâitâs about becoming a new creation.
đ Lukeâs Gospel brings the challenge: Jesus sends out 72 disciples with basically no supplies, just faith and a mission.
So... Whatâs 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 missionariesâat work, in our homes, even at the local bar.
His challenge to all of us? Donât be soft. Be bold in faith. Start small. Practice spontaneous prayer with the simple formula:
Address. Thank. Thank. Ask. Ask. Close.
(Yes, it really worksâand yes, your kids can do it too.)
