The Gary Zimak Show

Lent is here and it's time for us to accompany Jesus into the desert! Join Gary as he looks at the Mass Readings for the 1st Sunday of Lent. And, while this week's message focuses on Satan and his tricks, a positive theme emerges. With the help of Jesus Christ, we can overcome any temptation the devil sends our way!

As we head into the season of Lent, the Church reminds us of our call to holiness. With the help of the Holy Spirit, it is totally possible for us to speak and act like Jesus. It can be challenging at times, but it can definitely be done. Join Gary as he looks at the Mass Readings for the 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Even though we may feel otherwise, holiness really is for EVERYONE!

In the readings for the 6th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Jesus makes it clear that He didn't come to abolish the law or the prophets. Furthermore, He emphasizes the importance of keeping the commandments and setting a good example. Join Gary as he looks at this powerful message and reminds us of an important fact. Jesus tells us what He expects of us, but the choice is ours to make. His way or your way - which will you choose?

Over the past few Sundays, we've been focusing on Jesus as the Light of the World. In the readings for the 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time, however, the tables are turned and we learn that WE are called to be the light of the world! Join Gary as he unpacks this challenging message and offers practical advice for letting YOUR light shine in a very dark world!

Prompted by the Holy Spirit, Simeon went to the temple and saw the Messiah. As amazing as his story is, we all have the same opportunity every time we go to Mass. Join Gary as he discusses the Mass readings for the feast of the Presentation of the Lord. You'll be glad you did!
