Friends, welcome back to God’s Playbook. In today’s episode, Fr. Rico reflects on the Beatitudes from St. Luke’s account in Luke 6:20–26 rather than the more familiar version from St. Matthew. Fr. Rico looks at Jesus’ blessings and warnings in a very real, relatable way. This conversation focuses on how hope shows up in everyday struggles—when life feels hard, unfair, or overwhelming—and reminds listeners that God is close, even in those moments.

In Psalm 50, God paints a vivid contrast between those who are faithful and those who stray from Him. It’s a reminder of the spiritual battle between good and evil that we all face. Verse 15 stands out: “Call on me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver you, and you will glorify me.” God isn’t distant—He’s actively working in our lives, ready to fight for us when we turn to Him. But He also challenges the wicked, exposing the lies they live. Let’s dive into this powerful psalm together with Fr. Rico.

In today’s episode, we reflect on the beauty of Psalm 86, where we hear, “Incline your ear, O Lord, and save me.” Imagine—God, in all His infinite power and majesty, stops to listen to your prayer. King David’s heartfelt cry for help reminds us that it’s okay to turn to God in our most vulnerable moments. Verse 7, “In the day of my trouble, I call on you, and you will answer me,” is a powerful reminder that God is always present, always listening. Join Fr. Rico as we unpack this psalm and explore the trust and hope it invites us to place in God.

In today’s episode, we explore the importance of the Old Testament and how it lays the foundation for understanding the New Testament. The stories, prophecies, and lessons of the Old Testament are essential for making sense of the life and teachings of Jesus. Without the accounts of old, the New Testament would lose much of its depth and meaning. Join Fr. Rico as he unpacks how the Old Testament connects us to God’s greater plan and prepares the way for the Good News.
