11.1 The Our Father and the Story of Salvation

To better understand the Our Father prayer, parishioner Ryan Bliven unpacks how it fits within the big story of salvation. Ryan shares his own story of conversion and his encounter with Christ through Scripture, and he offers much for us to think on as we try and live the Christian life. 

Time and Advent

Fr. Wahlmeier reflects on the nature of time and waiting for Christ during Advent. He also brings in the stories of St. John Henry Newman and St. Augustine. 

Christ the King

Who do we let rule our lives? Reflecting on today's feast, Fr. Hall discusses what it means to say that Christ is king and what it looks like when we don't let Christ reign in our hearts.

How the Church Changed the World, Part II

Taking his lead from the Church's liturgy, Fathers, Scripture, and Vatican II, Fr. Wahlmeier argues that the Church is to the world what the soul is to the body. Far from being an enemy to progress and human flourishing, the Church has enlivened and elevated the world.
Fr. Wahlmeier organizes his argument around the theological and cardinal virtues. Proceeding through each virtue, he argues that the Church has directed man's faith and hope toward something transcendent and enduring rather than the fleeting glories and pleasures of the world. The Church has elevated man's love, teaching the dignity of the person and redefining love around the self-sacrificial love of Christ. Regarding prudence, the Church has preserved and fostered the sciences, created universities and public education.
And similarly with the other virtues, Fr. Wahlmeier presents a compelling case for the how the Church has changed the world.
This talk was given as part of the Martyr's Speaker Series at North American Martyrs Catholic Church.
