The Extra Meisl is a Catholic homily podcast by Fr. Nick Meisl, offering weekly reflections on the Sunday Mass readings. The title plays on the Gospel call to go the extra mile (Matthew 5:41), inviting deeper engagement with Scripture and everyday faith. Recorded at St. Peter’s Parish in New Westminster, the homilies draw on Fr. Nick’s work as a parish pastor and biblical scholar.

The Christmas tree is an important symbol during this time of year. In the Mass for the Second Sunday of Advent, we find trees beings used as images in both the first reading and the Gospel (Isa 11:1-10; Mat 3:1-12). This "tree imagery" communicates the way that God brings new life from seemingly helpless situations as well as how we sometimes need pruning before God's goodness can flourish.
