Deacon Harold opens up the readings for Sunday's Mass for the 15th Sunday in OT, Year A for another Word of God Wednesday!

15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A

Friends, we all strive to be spiritually great. We want to be magnanimous, great-souled men and women. But how do we get there? The Church offers a concrete seven-fold path, and that's what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today's "Word on Fire Show" episode. A listener asks, I'm coming back into the Church after a 15 year absence, and all the words [of Mass] have changed. What happened? 00:00 | Intro 00:55 | Bishop Barron's California recap 02:18 | How spiritual works of mercy relate to corporal works of mercy 05:08 | Why loving others includes meeting spiritual needs 05:44 | 1) Admonish the sinner 08:24 | 2) Instruct the ignorant 10:17 | 3) Counsel the doubtful 13:32 | 4) Comfort the sorrowful 15:54 | 5) Bear wrongs patiently 19:00 | 6) Forgive all injuries 22:18 | 7) Pray for the living and the dead 26:18 | Listener question 28:32 | New book—<a href= "https://wordonfire.org/ethics" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "Ethics for Beginners - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link= "">Ethics for Beginners</a> by Peter Kreeft Links <ul> <li><a href="https://wordonfire.org/ethics" target= "_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "Ethics for Beginners - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link= "">Ethics for Beginners</a> by Peter Kreeft</li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bishopbarron">Become a patron</a> and get some great perks for helping, like free books, bonus content, and more.

St. Lucy

Early in his career, as an educator and non-profit executive, he became a popular speaker and successful writer while he established the groundwork for the initiatives that would become the St. John Paul II Foundation. Arland launched the St. John Paul II Foundation in 2014 and he is author of the 4th edition of the Handbook on Critical Life Issues published in 2024 by the National Catholic Bioethics Center. Arland earned a B.A. in philosophy from Texas A&M, an M.Div. in Theology from University of St. Thomas, and pursued doctoral studies in bioethics at Regina Apostolorum in Rome. With the generous support of his wife, Cindy, and their ten children, Arland is blessed to lead the St. John Paul II Foundation as it serves, educates, and supports medical professionals, married couples, and clergy.

Catholic Bioethics

So many men live with a quiet fear that who they really are will not be accepted. In this episode, John and Victor talk openly about how that fear shows up in two ways: changing ourselves to fit in, or pulling away so no one gets close enough to reject us.
If you’ve ever felt pressure to be someone you’re not, this conversation will help you take the next steps towards remembering we are beloved children of God.
