My Part in the Harvest of the Lord

Have you ever asked yourself the question, "What is my part in the harvest of the Lord?" Join Father Ed as he discusses the purpose each of us has in the Kingdom of God.

Total Commitment to Christ our Friend

In today's Gospel, Jesus comes across as a bit harsh. He discourages those who would become his disciples. "Let the dead bury their own dead." "Foxes have holes and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no where to lay his head." But as he makes his way to Jerusalem, he is very clear that to follow him will cost us everything! Is Jesus worth the cost? Join Father Ed as he reflects on why we commit ourselves to Jesus.

Pentecost as the Second Coming of Christ

This talk invites the listener to view Pentecost in a slightly different light, as the coming of Christ in Spirit. So many believers look to the Second Coming of Christ to solve all their problems and lose sight of the reality that Christ is already here in Spirit, in sacrament, and in His Church. Join Fr. Ed as he leads us all into a new understanding of the wonder of Pentecost.

Baptism in the Holy Spirit

This talk is longer than most of the podcasts here, lasting just under an hour. It was given at the Pentecost Vigil at Sanctuary of Hope in Kansas City. This is a great overview of this special and unique experience often overlooked by many Catholics. Join Father Ed as he explains just what the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is, why it is important, and what you must do to receive it. It is well worth the time spent.

Jesus Prays for Us

As he neared the time for his passion, Jesus prayed for his disciples and for those who would believe in him because of their testimony. In other words, Jesus was praying for you and for me. What was his prayer? What did he ask the Father for our sake. Join Fr. Ed as he explores Jesus' prayer for us.

Love One Another as I have Loved You

Good Shepherd Sunday 2019

Jesus said, "My sheep know my voice." Do we know the voice of the Good Shepherd? Are we listening? Or, are we so distracted by the noise of this world that we fail to hear Him? Join Father Ed Wills as he helps us learn how to listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd.

Do You Love Me More Than These

Jesus asked Peter, "Do you love me more than these?" This question should reverberate in our own thoughts. Do I love Jesus more than anyone or anything else in my life? Join Father Ed as he explores this all important question.
