Deacon Jeff and Tom open up the Catholic Cafe Virtual Mail Bag and answer some great questions from some awesome listeners who want to know more about their Catholic faith.
Faith In Crisis
Many folks seem to have a strong faith. But, when a crisis hits it can test that faith, sometimes to the point of breaking. True faith based on a relationship with Jesus can become a foundation or anchor that keeps us safe through the storm.
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.
Renouncing Possessions
Jesus never did anything half way. You are in, or you are out. No lukewarm. That is why many may have a big challenge in renouncing all our possessions in order to be his disciple.
Hell Is For Real
Many folks in the world today have started to believe that there is no such thing as sin. But, that then would mean that there is no need for a place such as Hell. Tune in to find out why we need to know that Hell is for real.
God Will Provide
Sometimes we validly think a lot about how we will provide for our future and the future of our family. But sometimes, like the rich man with the bountiful harvest, we tend to trust only in our own efforts to store up treasures for the future. Perhaps God is asking us to consider trusting in Him a bit more.
Ask and Receive
When Jesus tells us that whatever we ask of the Father will be granted to us, we still doubt Him. Perhaps we should continue to pray in faith.
Martha Or Mary
We live in a busy world and sometimes we get so caught up the the work that we forget about the spiritual. Perhaps the story of Martha and Mary can shed a little light on our proper focus.
Good Samaritan
We have all certainly heard the parable of the Good Samaritan, and many think it boils down God calling all of us to simply do good deeds. But, perhaps there is a bit more to the story that might present more of a challenge for us as we attempt to live out the call of the Good Samaritan.
Difficulty For Disciples
It is certainly not easy being a disciple of Jesus. In fact, In Luke chapter 9, Jesus tells us just how hard it might be.
