Awe of Advent with Fr. Ed Steiner, Pastor of St. Philip Catholic Church

When Fr. Ed Steiner was just 5 years old, there was a knock on his front door during supper. Fr. Ed excitedly ran to see who it was. What he found he never could have imagined.

It was Santa Claus!

To the day Fr. Ed still finds himself stirred with a similar sense of awe he experienced that very moment he saw Santa as a young boy. Yet Fr. Ed recognizes what he is really waiting for is the coming of Christ.

In this Advent podcast Fr. Ed reflects on our need to remember why Christ came—and how the true meaning of Christmas fills our hearts and homes during this special time of year.

Let us strive to make awe-filled memories and practice the Gospel with our loved ones this Advent Season.

The Gift of Women with Chaplain Fr. Jon Meyer

The table is turned on Host Lindy Wynne, as Chaplain Fr. Jon Meyer asks Lindy about womanhood and what it means to be a woman.

Lindy explores the gift of womanhood and meaning of Saint Edith Stein's words, "The woman's soul is fashioned as a shelter in which other souls may unfold."

When Lindy was twenty-one and volunteering at an orphanage in Tijuana, she met and developed a maternal love for a young boy named Coco. Coco began calling Lindy "mama." It broke Lindy's heart to have to leave Coco, yet simultaneously revealed God's call for Lindy to be a spiritual mother and shelter souls through adoption.

Womanhood is a complete self-gift in which a woman surrenders her heart for the sake of Love Itself.

Lindy has witnessed such mercy, love and compassion in other women. The gift of a woman is her feminine heart and ability to shelter other souls in a way that hopefully moves others to do the same.

"Priests Need Families and Families Need Priests" with Fr. Jon Meyer and Brian Wynne

When Chaplain Fr. Jon Meyer was about to be ordained as a priest in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, he was interviewed regarding his Vocation. One of the things he said has often been quoted from that interview:

“Priests need families and families need priests.”

Marriage and Holy Orders are Vocational Sacraments--both are are lifestyles rooted in Christ and expressed in different ways.

They share a call to holiness, love and total self gift.

May we create relationships with the priests in our churches and dioceses that fortify and enrich one another's Vocations.

Loving Others Where They Are with Fr. Jon Meyer, Chaplain

In this Advent podcast, Fr. Jon Meyer and Lindy Wynne explore how to meet and love others where they are.

Fr. Jon and Lindy talk about self-awareness of one's own internal experience, as well as personal intimacy with God. Loving and meeting others where they are begins with us allowing God to love and meet us where we are first.

Fr. Jon and Lindy also delve into the intricacies of loving others, especially when it's difficult.

Listeners are reminded that every Christmas is a new Christmas to love--Christ invites us to experience God's love reborn in our hearts time and time again.

Our Mother's Radical Love

In this 2021 Lenten podcast, Father Richard Sunwoo explores Mother Mary’s radically open heart and ongoing “yes” to God throughout her life, even in the midst of sorrow and suffering. Mary’s love for God, the Father and Christ wasn’t contingent on her circumstances—the only promise she was ever given was to be the Mother of God.
