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.

The Jesus Prayer
Have you ever wanted to grow your prayer life, but thought it was going to be complicated and challenging? Are you already living a complicated and challenging life and you don’t know how you can carve any more time out of your life to devote to prayer? The Jesus Prayer may be just what you need! Join Deacon Jeff and Fra Tom as they welcome Fr Michael to the Luxurious Corner Booth of the FRENCH Catholic Cafe to discuss this ancient, powerful but simple prayer.
Contrition
Have you ever started praying a traditional Catholic prayer, but found that you were just rattling off words from memory without really paying attention to their meaning? When we do this (and we all do this at times), sometimes it’s good to slow down and study the words of the prayer. Take, for example, the Act of Contrition, a beautiful prayer of penance we pray in the confessional. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they delve into the Act of Contrition phrase by phrase.
Back To Confession
A lot of folks have had painful and difficult encounters with cancer. It’s a horrible, insidious disease. But, many people don’t realize that EVERYONE has to deal with the cancer of sin in their lives. Just like cancer, if we don’t deal with our sin, it can overtake our life…and eventually take our life. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they discuss the timely and important topic of staying away from the confessional for far too long.
