Our baptism is not merely a symbolic sign of belonging to the Church. When we are baptized, our soul is eternally affected and we are joined in the mission of Jesus as Priest, Prophet and King.

Marriage As Communion
Many couples struggle in their marriages as the world continues to bring doubt and division into what was meant to be a holy, sacramental communion. Our guests Bill Donaghy and John Edwards discuss the beauty and gift of marriage.
The Ten Lepers
Since leprosy has for the most part been eradicated from the face of the earth, most folks might think that a discussion about Jesus healing the ten lepers is no longer relevant. But, perhaps we should look closer at another possibility…spiritual leprosy. The Commandment requiring us to honor our father and mother seems at first to be fairly straightforward. But, unfortunately, many people have difficulty living out this Commandment because of brokenness within the family itself.
Going Back To Confession
If it has been a long time since your last Confession, you have you ask yourself why. There are many reasons we might come up with, but none of them should keep us away from one of the greatest opportunities for grace in the modern world.

His Presence Incarnate
To fully engage in the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, or better known as the feast of Corpus Christi, one must first delve into a fuller understanding of the mystery of the Incarnation.
Simon Do You Love Me
When Jesus asked Peter three times if he loved him, many folks – including Peter – might have thought Jesus was being not so charitable to Peter. But, what is really happening is a whole other story…a story of mercy and compassion.
The Prodigal Son
Most of us are somewhat familiar with the story of the Prodigal Son from the Gospel of Luke. Unfortunately, we have heard it so often we have maybe even become a little numb to its wonderful lessons. We should take another, fresher look at it, and see it through a Lenten lens.
The Wedding At Cana: Not Just A Miracle
The Wedding feast in the town of Cana, attended by Jesus himself, is known for being the place of his first public miracle, a manifestation of his divinity. But, the story of this wedding gathering tells us so much more about Jesus and his mission of salvation.
My Beloved: The Baptism Of The Lord
Many Catholics can answer the question of why WE need to be baptized, but can be a difficult theological task trying to explain why JESUS was baptized. Join us for the simple answers.
