Episode notes
Service Is The Final Exam
- Jesus judges by what we did for the least of his brothers, not merely by beliefs.
- Matthew 25 frames the final test as service toward hungry, naked, sick, imprisoned, and needy people.
Pier Giorgio's Shoeless Example
- Fr. Mike recounts Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati returning home shoeless after giving his shoes to a homeless man.
- The story inspired him to want to live sacrificially but also highlighted cultural differences in how that looks.
Call Over Copying Saints
- The key question is how God calls each of us specifically to serve, not how saints acted in other times or places.
- Fr. Mike reframes the challenge as discerning personal vocation to corporal works of mercy today.
