This is the first of three homilies from when Fr. Peter was at Mt. St. Francis for a visit in late October. On the Feast of Sts Simon and Jude, he reflects on how Jesus called 12 men to be his co-workers in the New Covenant.

MaryCast Specials #77 ( 09min) Play – Dr. Mark Miravalle gives a compelling argument for how the proclamation of the 5th Marian Dogma can bring about a new Pentecost since Mary was so instrumental for the first one where the Holy Spirit, her spouse, descended on the Apostles. He mentions the comparison that St. Maximilian Kolbe made of the spousal relationship between Mary and the Holy Spirit with that of the union of two natures, human and divine, in the person of Jesus Christ.
