1st Sunday Lent B '18 - Keep the Covenant

Jesus enters the desert to be tested, and because He understands His mission, remains faithful. By His faithfulness, He has entered us into the New Covenant. Because of this, we are called to know, love, and serve God, but how? This takes discernment to stay in the covenant!

5th Sunday B '18 - Why and How Posted: 04 Feb 2018 11:08 AM PST Job struggles to understand his suffering, and when he experiences the Lord, he is able to make sense of it. The sick of Capernaum are also suffering, and the Lord heals some, but presumably not all - why. And then Jesus leaves them.

Podcast for the 24th Sunday of Ordinary Time

Sorry about the quality - I learned that I need an attenuation cable! https://soundcloud.com/fr-todd-petersen/24th-sunday-in-ordinary-time

First Homily Podcast

My first podcasted Sunday Homily: https://soundcloud.com/fr-todd-petersen/23rdsundayot

News!

I know that it has been a while since I have blogged except for the various articles that have appeared in newspapers and prayers.
Part is that my focus has been elsewhere.
Recently, though, a few have asked about recording my homilies. After doing some research into process and equipment, and after praying about it, I have decided to create a podcast. You can find it at http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:251744182/sounds.rss, or soon on iTunes (View From the Ambo).
The reason is not in pride, but rather in humility. I feel blessed to be given the opportunity to proclaim the Good News, and I try to do so. I know that the first few may be rough until I get the settings right, as well as the knowledge of the software to help make things sound better.
Input is appreciated!
