Day 75: Jesus’ Infancy and Hidden Life

Fr. Mike explores the mystery of Jesus’ infancy and hidden life. We first take a look at Jesus’ Baptism, circumcision, and the Epiphany. Fr. Mike discusses that Jesus’ circumcision shows us that salvation comes from the Jews. The Epiphany shows us that salvation does not stop there, it extends to all of us. Later, we examine Jesus’ hidden life. Fr. Mike emphasizes the importance of Jesus’ obedience to not just his Father in Heaven, but to his earthly father and mother as well, and how we can imitate that obedience.

Father Mike’s Passion for Jesus

One of my favorite things is speaking with my other Catholic friends about my faith. And taking this journey with father Mike, his passion has lit such a flame within me for learning more about Jesus and my faith and Father Mike makes everything makes sense. Even when the topics are a little head bending Father Mike just pulls it all together and it makes sense. And it not only makes sense, but it brings me closer to Jesus. Such a blessing.
