Title: Caught a slice of Mass at Our Lady of Victory

Description: This is a partial live recording from Sunday Mass at Our Lady of Victory—my childhood parish. I hit record mid-service, not to capture the full thing, but just to document the Gospel reading and part of the homily that stirred some reflections. It ties directly into the two prior episodes (7d and 7e), especially my response to how the 72 disciples were described. Listen only if you want the full context for where my head and heart were during this stretch.

I talk about:

• 
  
• 
  
• Attending Mass for the first time since coming back
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Luke 10 being the exact Gospel reading
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Why I decided to record mid-service
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Tension around how the 72 disciples were presented
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Feeling like it was a missed opportunity for lay empowerment
• 
  
• 
  

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – Gospel reading begins: Luke 10 – the 72 sent out

02:45 – Homily commentary links the 72 to clergy

06:00 – Cultural commentary on fireworks, freedom, and faith

09:50 – Final reflections on peace, power, and the Kingdom

📖 Scriptures Referenced:

Luke 10 – Jesus sends out the 72

Galatians 6 – Boasting only in the cross

🧠 Core Takeaway:

Even a small recording like this can carry weight if it helps you wrestle with truth.

Title: Felt like a missed opportunity, Part 2

Description: I’m following up after church at Our Lady of Victory—the same parish where I went to grade school. Today’s Gospel reading was Luke 10:9, the exact passage that marked the beginning of my journey back to Jesus years ago. But I left feeling frustrated again. The homily emphasized Catholic hierarchy—12 apostles as bishops, 72 as priests—without empowering the rest of us to live as disciples. I looked up the Greek word for disciple: mathētēs, meaning “learner.” That hit me hard, because that’s exactly what CRUMB is. I’m learning from Jesus one crumb at a time.

I talk about:

• 
  
• 
  
• The word mathētēs and what it revealed about discipleship
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• How the priest's framing felt like a missed opportunity for the laity
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• My continued frustration with Catholic culture and passivity
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• How CRUMB connects to daily learning from Jesus
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• My heart for activating everyday believers to go and make disciples
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• My intention to post the full homily for context
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• The moment I realized I’m not trying to build something—just be obedient
• 
  
• 
  

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “Remember this Greek word: mathētēs—it means learner.”

01:30 – “I’m following up on my little tirade after church…”

03:44 – “Aren’t we all called to make disciples?”

06:15 – “This is what CRUMB is: Jesus teaches me every day.”

08:32 – “If that’s you listening—thanks. I’m just trying to be obedient.”

📖 Scriptures Referenced:

Luke 10:9 – “Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’”

Luke 10:20 – “Rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Matthew 28:19 – “Go and make disciples of all nations…”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

Discipleship isn’t reserved for clergy—it’s for anyone willing to learn from Jesus and go live it out.
