St. Anthony's Tongue

We live in a world that constantly tells us we need one more thing. One more book. One more devotion. One more answer. So on and so on.
But in Sunday's Gospel, Jesus tells a different story. The merchant finds one pearl—and stops searching.
In this week's mass prep, let's talk about what it means to stop shopping for God, why the Kingdom can't be mass-produced, and how Christ is the treasure that changes everything.

This episode connects with Issue IV of The Margins, God in the Gutters, available now.

Dorothy Day was a journalist, anarchist, Catholic convert, founder of the Catholic Worker—and perhaps the only saint to ever land on an FBI watchlist.
In this episode, we look at Dorothy through the lens of mysticism: a transformative awareness of God’s presence that increases our love of God and neighbor. For Dorothy, that awareness became prayer, hospitality, protest, breadlines, and a life spent finding Christ among the poor.

What does the Church mean when it calls itself the Mystical Body of Christ?
In this episode of Mysticism Word by Word, we explore how Christ joins us to Himself—and to one another—so deeply that His life begins to move between us. The Mystical Body is not merely a metaphor. It means grace transforms us, love binds us together, and Christ remains present in the wounded members of His Body.

Keeping this brief this week as I am recording the audio version of my book!

But let's talk Matthew 13!
Last week, Jesus spoke about the seed. This week, He shows us what happens when it begins growing in a messy field.
The weeds do not mean the wheat has failed. The field is unfinished—but God is still at work.

What does Matthew 25 reveal about mercy, judgment, and the way we see people on the margins?
In this episode, we talk about the saints we have sanitized, the difficult human beings they chose to love, and the Christ who identifies himself with the hungry, the sick, the imprisoned, the wounded, and the forgotten. Because mercy is not optional decoration for the Christian life—and grace should change which people we are capable of seeing.
This episode also explores the themes behind Issue IV of The Margins: God in the Gutters, featuring Dorothy Day, Francis of Assisi, Josephine Bakhita, Damien of Molokai, Benedict Joseph Labre, John of God, and more.
