READY SET GOSPEL: HE CALLS US BY NAME!

Many of you know Father Max from the Forty Days of Confessions audio podcast, or perhaps as Pastor at the Augustinian Parish of Our Mother of Good Counsel, in Los Feliz, Los Angeles CA. Ready Set Gospel is a short punchy weekly video podcast to prepare our hearts and minds for Sunday gospel. Think of it as your Friday 2-3 minute “hot take” that gets your mind and spirit tuned for Sunday! SUBSCRIBE and listen each week!

In this week's Ready Set Gospel, Father Max prepares our restless hearts for the upcoming Sunday gospel by highlighting that the Lord does not call the apostles generically; instead, He calls each one by name. This personal call applies to every one of us and begins at baptism, where a priest, deacon, or minister uses an individual's specific name while pouring water, signifying the start of their Christian journey.
