29th Sunday 2026 - Proper

The Herodians and Pharisees join an unlikely alliance to trap Jesus by asking about the the legality of paying a census tax to Rome. He brilliantly addresses the issue, and sets a standard for a much wider principle - give what is proper. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay #mercywithteeth Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: https://ift.tt/bTDLNWk Give feedback at https://forms.gle/gGhujv39g43BUxmK6 Readings are found at https://ift.tt/xgUDicV True Mercy Has Teeth: A Catholic Journey to Forgiveness and Healing is now available on Amazon and other places as listed at www.mercywithteeth.com

28th Sunday 2026 - Clothed

Jesus tells a parable of the wedding feast, but many originally invited reject the invitation, and even one who comes is not properly clothed and is cast out. What does this say about the invitation to God's kingdom and what we need to do to accept and be properly clothed? #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay #mercywithteeth Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: https://ift.tt/VGk7elc Give feedback at https://forms.gle/gGhujv39g43BUxmK6 Readings are found at https://ift.tt/8mYEFSH

27th Sunday 2026 - Life

Jesus tells the parable of the vineyard where the tenants do not give the master what is his due, and in doing so challenges the chief priests and elders to consider if they are bringing the harvest. As we mark Respect Life Sunday, we are invited to ask the same. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay #mercywithteeth Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: https://ift.tt/0ORj8wM Give feedback at https://forms.gle/gGhujv39g43BUxmK6 Readings are found at https://ift.tt/s4CyuYF True Mercy Has Teeth: A Catholic Journey to Forgiveness and Healing is now available on Amazon and other places as listed at www.mercywithteeth.com

26th Sunday 2026 - Step

Our Lord challenges the Chief Priests and scribes of their self-righteousness by telling a parable of two sons who are asked to respond to their father's will - only the one who does what the father desires is responding to the will. So it is for us: we must do the will of God, which is often a next best step. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay #mercywithteeth Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: https://ift.tt/fBugcjU Give feedback at https://forms.gle/gGhujv39g43BUxmK6 Readings are found at https://ift.tt/0lxRKPW True Mercy Has Teeth: A Catholic Journey to Forgiveness and Healing is now available on Amazon and other places as listed at www.mercywithteeth.com

25th Sunday 2026 - Just

Jesus shares a parable of a landowner who invites workers to his vineyard at various times of the day. When it comes to paying each, he starts with those who worked the shortest, and pays them the usual daily wage, and those who worked all day grumbled. The Master for just, but he may not have been fair. That's the point. God gives us what we truly need, Himself. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay #mercywithteeth Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: https://ift.tt/jeV53ZO Give feedback at https://forms.gle/gGhujv39g43BUxmK6 Readings are found at https://ift.tt/8Of24F3 True Mercy Has Teeth: A Catholic Journey to Forgiveness and Healing is now available on Amazon and other places as listed at www.mercywithteeth.com

24th Sunday 2026 - Released

After St. Peter asked how often he should forgive, our Lord tells a parable about a wicked debtor who owes and impossibly large amount (100,000,000 days wages) who begs for patience, but refuses to forgive the smaller debt (100 days wages) owed him. The King does not, as a result forgive the debt. The message is clear - release the debt. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay #mercywithteeth Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: https://ift.tt/O5lIhso Give feedback at https://forms.gle/gGhujv39g43BUxmK6 Readings are found at https://ift.tt/WgVn5MO True Mercy Has Teeth: A Catholic Journey to Forgiveness and Healing is now available on Amazon and other places as listed at www.mercywithteeth.com

22 Sunday 2026 - Surrendered

Jesus Christ speaks of His death and resurrection, and St. Peter objects, possibly because he had no understanding on the kind of Messiah that Jesus was to be. He had to surrender to the will of God, and so do we. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay #mercywithteeth Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: https://ift.tt/9mcTn7C Give feedback at https://forms.gle/gGhujv39g43BUxmK6 Readings are found at https://ift.tt/osnOz6C True Mercy Has Teeth: A Catholic Journey to Forgiveness and Healing is now available on Amazon and other places as listed at www.mercywithteeth.com
