By recounting the scriptural accounts of the morning of the Resurrection, the state of mind of those involved, and the evidence of the events that occurred, we can rest assured that the Christian faith in a Risen Christ is not only feasible and reasonable, but most assuredly true.

Docility Of Heart
Most of us know the story of Abraham and his willingness to follow the command of God in sacrificing his only son, Isaac. But, most of us have probably not thought about this story from the perspective of Isaac.
Talents
The Parable of the Talents is familiar to most, but perhaps there is another way of looking at it that might give us a renewed perspective on this powerful Gospel message.
Workers In The Vineyard

Many of us are not always sure what to say when someone asks why we believe what we do about the True Presence. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom as they welcome the Head Chef of the Catholic Cafe, Father Ben Bradshaw, into the Luxurious Corner Booth to talk Eucharist.

The word behold is very important in Sacred Scripture, and especially so during Advent and Christmas. But, perhaps our modern culture has diminished the meaning of this unique word. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom as they peruse through several Scripture verses that highlight the meaning of behold.
Memorized Prayers
Is there anything wrong with memorized prayers? Would God prefer you pray only spontaneously? Perhaps there are actually some previously unrealized benefits of memorized prayers.
The Protoevangelium
Do you know where the Gospels are found in the Bible? If you said the New Testament you’d be right…mostly. Did you know that the very FIRST Gospel was delivered to us well before the New Testament was ever written? Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they harken all the way back to the Garden of Eden and reflect upon the First Gospel, the Protoevangelium.
