All Things Catholic with Dr. Edward Sri

Many Catholics call God "Father," but few truly experience the depth of His fatherly love in their daily lives. Dr. Sri explores how Scripture—especially the opening chapters of Genesis—reveals the heart of our Heavenly Father: a Father who delights in us, provides for us, sees our deepest needs, protects us, blesses us, and invites us to share in His mission.

The Crisis of Fatherhood

The homily is far more than a simple sermon or inspirational talk—it is a sacred moment in the liturgy where God desires to speak directly to our hearts. Dr. Sri explains how the homily prepares us for a deeper encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist.

Encountering God in Every Homily

What if the places in your life that feel stagnant, dry, or broken are exactly where the Holy Spirit wants to meet you?

Dr. Sri explains how God’s living water flows into our deepest wounds to bring healing and transformation.

Letting the Holy Spirit Descend Into Our Wounds

In moments of uncertainty, disappointment, and confusion, it's common to wonder in our hearts, "Lord, are you really there?" Dr. Sri encourages us by unpacking Jesus’ promise in the Great Commission: “I am with you always.” He explains how Christ remains present to us at all times through His Church, Scripture, the sacraments, and especially the Eucharist.

Is God Going to Show Up for Me?

Can people who practice other religions be saved? Dr. Sri grounds his answer to this complex question in the theological virtue of hope, thereby preventing us from falling into two common extremes—despair or presumption.

Is There Salvation Outside the Church?

Distraction, dryness, boredom, and discouragement are common in prayer. In this special pilgrimage episode, Dr. Sri stands in the home of St. Catherine of Siena—just outside the room where she spent years in deep prayer. Drawing from her wisdom, Dr. Sri explores why prayer can feel so difficult and what to do about it.

When Prayer Is Hard: Wisdom from St. Catherine of Siena

What makes the Gospel reading at Mass so different from every other reading in Scripture? Dr. Sri invites us to look more closely at the beauty, reverence, and meaning behind the Gospel proclamation in the Liturgy of the Word. From standing and singing Alleluia to the procession of the Book of the Gospels and the sign of the cross traced on our minds, lips, and hearts, every detail reveals the central place of Jesus’ life in our faith.

Jesus on Your Mind, Lips & Heart

What does the resurrection story in Luke 24, the road to Emmaus, reveal about the Mass? Dr. Sri invites us to see how the disciples' journey on the road to Emmaus mirrors our own spiritual lives—filled with hope, confusion, joy, and sorrow. More importantly, it reveals what God truly desires from us at every Mass: not perfection, but presence. Not routine, but relationship.

The Mass: Our Road to Emmaus

As we approach Divine Mercy Sunday, many of us feel an unspoken pressure in our spiritual lives: Am I doing this right? From prayer to parenting, vocation to discernment, we can approach our faith with anxiety, striving for perfection rather than resting in God’s love. Dr. Sri reminds us of a powerful truth revealed in Divine Mercy—God is not waiting to evaluate you; He’s already inviting you.
