If Heaven Isn't yet a Physical Place (yet) then Where are the Bodies of Jesus and Mary? | 07-28-26

In this compelling homily, Fr. Chris Alar explores the Catholic understanding of the end times and the glorious hope of Christ's Second Coming. Learn why the Second Coming is not about fear, but about fulfillment; the final separation of good and evil, the resurrection of our glorified bodies, and our joyful reunion with loved ones in Christ. Fr. Alar explains that heaven is more than a place; it is a transformed reality beyond the limits of our earthly understanding. After His Resurrection, Jesus' glorified body was no longer bound by space and time. He could appear, disappear, and enter locked rooms while remaining fully human. Likewise, the Blessed Virgin Mary shares in this glorified existence. Discover the true meaning of St. Paul's words about believers "meeting the Lord in the air"; not as a secret rapture, but as the ancient royal welcome of a victorious King returning to establish His eternal kingdom. The culmination of God's plan is the New Jerusalem, where heaven and earth become one.

St. Teresa of Avila's Favorite Scripture

Fr. Tyler Mentzer invites us to enter the same thirst that filled the heart of St. Teresa of Jesus — a thirst that only Christ can satisfy. When Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well, He revealed Himself as the Bridegroom of souls, drawing her from earthly longing to the eternal spring of divine love. “Whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst” (John 4:14). This is not poetic language—it is the invitation of the living God to each of us.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/121125.cfm On December 11, the Marian Fathers celebrate the spiritual founding of our community, dating back to 1670 when St. Stanislaus Papczyński made his solemn oblation and offered his whole being to God and to the Blessed Virgin Mary, conceived without original sin. In his vow, he promised to promote and defend her honor even to the cost of his life. Today, Fr. Matt reminds us that this mission continues.

Preparing the Way: How Humility Opens the Heart to Christ

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/120925.cfm As Advent unfolds, Fr.

And for that, we need two essential forms of knowledge: knowledge of God and knowledge of ourselves.
