Faithful & Authentic: The All Saints Parish Podcast

Happy Easter! As we continue to celebrate the joy of the Resurrection, today’s Rise Up invites you to reflect on your own new life in Christ through the gift of baptism.
 
In this powerful reflection, Fr. Meyer unpacks Jesus’ words to Nicodemus: “Unless one is born of water and Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.” When were you baptized? Do you know the date? Do you celebrate it?
 
Discover why your baptismal certificate is more important than any diploma, and why the day you were baptized is truly the most important day of your life. 💧🔥
 
👉 Take time today to find your baptism date, thank God for the gift of eternal life, and maybe even make a pilgrimage to the church where it all began.

Happy Divine Mercy Sunday!
On this 8th day of Easter, we dive into the Gospel of Doubting Thomas—and discover a deeper call to faith in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
 
Do you ever question like Thomas?
Do you ever wonder if Jesus is truly there?
In today’s reflection, we see how Thomas’ doubt became one of the greatest professions of faith: “My Lord and my God.” And how we can bring that same faith to every Mass.
 
🌟 Fr. shares personal stories, the inspiration of St. Thomas, and even a moment that changed his life during seminary.
This Divine Mercy Sunday, let’s focus our hearts on Jesus in the Eucharist—and respond with Thomas, “My Lord and my God.”
 
🙏 Don’t forget: Jesus’ mercy is available always—not just today.
 
🔴 Challenge: At the elevation of the Host or Chalice at Mass, quietly pray, “My Lord and my God.”

Oscar. Pretzel Boy. Doubting Thomas. Snail Group.
We’ve all been labeled—sometimes in ways that stick with us longer than they should. But what if the nickname that matters most isn’t the one others gave you… but the one God calls you?
 
In this Easter reflection, Fr. Meyer invites you to think about your identity, your past labels, and the truth of who you really are: a beloved child of God. 💛
 
🎯 What’s your nickname? And does it define you… or does Christ?

Happy Easter! He is Risen—Alleluia!
On this Friday of the Easter Octave, Fr. Meyer reminds us that this is not a day for fasting and abstinence, but a day for feasting and rejoicing.
 
In this powerful reflection, he draws a striking contrast between Good Friday and Easter Friday, challenging us to live in the freedom of the Resurrection and not return to old habits.
 
✨ Don’t go back to your “pre-Lent” life.
🔥 Let this Easter Friday be a bold step forward in faith.
🙏 Celebrate like sons and daughters of God who have been redeemed!

Happy Easter! He is risen—Alleluia! 🙌
In this Easter Thursday reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer invites us to reflect on these powerful words: “Jesus opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.”
 
What about you? Do you need your mind opened to the Word of God?
Fr. Meyer reminds us that ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ, and encourages each of us to renew our commitment to studying the Bible—because knowing Scripture is knowing Jesus.
 
With so many resources available today, there’s no better time to dive into God’s Word. Let’s not live in spiritual ignorance—but in the fullness of the faith!
 
Start today. Open your Bible. Let Christ open your mind.
Amen. Hallelujah.

Happy Easter! Today is Wednesday of the Easter Octave, and we journey with the disciples on the road to Emmaus. What were they talking about on the way? Jesus revealed how the entire Old Testament points to Him—the perfect Lamb, the suffering Messiah, our Risen Savior.
 
In this video, we dive into:
•The mystery of the Eucharist and the co-mingling at Mass
•How Old Testament figures like Abel, Abraham, and the Passover lamb prefigure Christ
•The beauty of recognizing Jesus in the breaking of the bread
 
Let’s rediscover the richness of Scripture and the gift of our Catholic faith.
🙏 What’s your favorite Old Testament passage that points to Jesus?
 
He is Risen! Alleluia!

Happy Easter! On this Tuesday of the Easter Octave, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reflects on the question Mary Magdalene asked at the empty tomb: “Where have they taken my Lord?”
 
Sharing his personal encounter with the Eucharistic presence of Jesus, Fr. Meyer recounts the powerful moment that reoriented his life—when he discovered the Real Presence in the tabernacle for the first time.
 
In a world that often forgets or hides the Lord, this is a call to rediscover Him, especially in the Blessed Sacrament. Jesus is not lost—He is waiting for us in every tabernacle, every Mass, every adoration chapel.
 
Take a moment today. Make a visit. Find Jesus. And be transformed.
 
✝️ He is risen! Alleluia!

Do you believe in the resurrection?Today, we reflect on four common arguments against the resurrection of Jesus—and why none of them stand.The tomb was found empty. The resurrection is real. And if it’s true (which it is!), it changes everything—for you, for me, and for the world.
As we continue in this Easter Octave and Jubilee Year of Hope, let’s go out and share this truth:Jesus has risen from the dead.Amen. Hallelujah!

🙏 Pray for your loved ones.🕯 Visit a cemetery.📞 Reach out to someone who needs to know God’s love.✝️ Walk with one person toward the hope of the resurrection.
