This is a live meditation I gave 10 years ago during the first year of my priesthood serving the students of the University of Colorado.  I have now recycled it into a VLX podcast for your own meditation from home or on-the-go. https://youtu.be/h1vPik0nfks

In Mt 8:5-13 today, we see that to be a true leader, one must be a real follower…a follower of Christ. https://youtu.be/gsSH4fi5Zyc

TS 12:05 Matthew 8:1-4. What is unique about the request of this leper before Christ heals him? https://youtu.be/Lv0jbH4ZmXQ  

TS 9:19.  Morons building a home on the Rock while surrounded by rising rivers. CORRECTION: The Greek ἀνδρὶ μωρῷ (andri moro) is the *singular* dative for foolish-man, not the *plural* dative for foolish men as I had said in the podcast. I caught this error after uploading and before production. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp5XgICL7Kw

"Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.” https://youtu.be/o7xwPY5CZdY

TS 13:39. “Which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeJWRmoDXpo  

TS 9:26. "Judge not, that you be not judged." https://youtu.be/sPSrg2puAIs

“Do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” https://youtu.be/hhSqVqsFRyw
