Love, Belief, and Eternal Life in the Trinity

On the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, this homily breaks down the Trinity not as a distant theological puzzle but as a living reality centered on three words drawn from John 3:16 — love, belief, and eternal life. Love is the Trinity's defining characteristic. Every act of love we give or receive — like a father waking at 4am to provide for his family — reflects the inner life of the Trinity itself. Belief isn't merely intellectual agreement or moral effort; drawing on Pope Benedict's Deus Caritas Est, it's a personal encounter with Jesus that reshapes your whole life and leads you to entrust God with your faith, family, finances, fears, and future. And eternal life speaks to our deepest longing — to be truly seen, known, and loved forever. The Trinity is the home we were made for; we're not quite there yet.

Mensaje para el Día de las Madres 2026

En esta celebración del Día de las Madres, El Padre Martin Vu reflexiona sobre el amor hermoso y poderoso de una madre como reflejo del amor de Dios. Comenzando con una oración por las madres en toda circunstancia — mamás primerizas, abuelas, madres de crianza, madres que sufren la pérdida de un hijo, madres espirituales y madres que ya han partido de este mundo — invita a la comunidad a vivir un momento de gratitud y oración. La homilía se centra en tres cualidades del amor de una madre: * Sacrificado — un amor que se entrega generosamente y que refleja el amor sacrificial de Cristo en la Cruz.  * Fiel — un amor de alianza que permanece firme en toda etapa de la vida, reflejando la fidelidad inquebrantable de Dios hacia su pueblo.  * Perseverante — un amor que perdura y permanece, así como el amor eterno de Dios por nosotros.  El Padre Martin también reconoce a quienes quizás no experimentaron este tipo de amor materno en su vida, invitándolos a la oración, la sanación, el perdón y la compasión. La homilía concluye con un emotivo momento de oración y bendición sobre todas las madres, invocando al Espíritu Santo y la intercesión de la Santísima Virgen María, nuestra madre espiritual.

Mother's Day Message 2026

On this Mother’s Day, Father Martin Vu reflects on the beautiful and powerful love of a mother as a reflection of the love of God. Beginning with a prayer for mothers in every circumstance — new moms, grandmothers, foster mothers, grieving mothers, spiritual mothers, and mothers who have passed away — he invites the congregation into gratitude and prayer. The homily centers on three qualities of a mother’s love: * Sacrificial — a love that gives generously and reflects the sacrificial love of Christ on the Cross.  * Faithful — a covenant love that remains steadfast through every season of life, mirroring God’s unfailing faithfulness to His people.  * Persevering — a love that endures and lasts, just as God’s love for us is eternal.  Father Martin also acknowledges those who may not have experienced this kind of love from their mothers, inviting them into prayer, healing, forgiveness, and compassion. The homily concludes with a moment of prayer and blessing over mothers, calling upon the Holy Spirit and the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our spiritual mother.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
