The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/011226.cfm Father Daniel Klimek, PhD reflects on the beginning of Christ’s public ministry and the radical call of discipleship. When Jesus calls the first apostles, He does not simply invite admiration, but demands surrender. Peter leaves his nets behind—his livelihood, his security, his safety—to follow Christ. Those nets, Fr. Daniel explains, symbolize the attachments and “safety nets” that often keep us from deeper freedom in God.

There’s a surprising similarity between reported near-death experiences and Marian Apparitions. What could a moment between life and death possibly have in common with visions of Our Lady? Father Daniel Klimeck explains.

Fr. Jason will unpack the Church's guidance on alleged apparitions, the theological principles behind discernment of private revelation, and what the faithful should - and should not - take away from this latest development.
