Do you ever pray to the Holy Spirit? We certainly have no problem asking God the Father or God the Son for divine assistance…but, God the Holy Spirit? Most people can use the reassurance of the accompaniment of the Holy Ghost in their attempts to carry out the New Evangelization. Join Deacon Jeff and “sit-in sidekick” Bobby John as they discuss the Person of the Holy Spirit, his attributes and how they enhance and empower evangelization.
Brick Walls Of Evangelization
When you wake up in the morning to start your day, do you see a day filled with the opportunity to share the Gospel, or do you see nothing but a great big wall? Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they discuss the many obstacles of evangelizing and the way around (or through) them.
My Kids Are Leaving The Church
What do you do when your child, who you have raised to be a good Catholic kid, comes up to you and announces, “Mom, Dad…I’m leaving the Catholic Church.” More and more Catholic parents are hearing this as the number of “nones” (those with no particular religious affiliation) grows in our modern culture. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they share their thoughts on the Do’s and Don’ts of addressing your children’s decision to leave the Catholic faith.
Who Is Jesus?
Sometimes we run into folks who have trouble relating to Jesus in his divinity, and sometimes we run into folks who have trouble relating to Jesus in his humanity. The true and right relationship with the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity requires us to relate to both Jesus’ humanity and divinity, because they cannot be separated. Join us in the Luxurious Corner Booth as Deacon Jeff and Tom tackle the great mystery of the Christ as fully God and fully man.
Supernatural Food
Have you ever wanted to just give up? “Lord…take me now!” How is it that we are able to carry on? If you read the story of Elijah in the Book of Kings, you see that even he, a prophet, was ready to give up. Join us in the Luxurious Corner Booth as Deacon Jeff and Tom discuss how our journeys in many ways resemble that of Elijah and how the supernatural food of the Euchartist empowers up to go on.
Come Holy Spirit
How much do we really know about living a Sprit-filled life? Let’s start by checking with Sacred Scripture! There are many wonderful insights into life’s blessings when filled with the third Divine Person of the Blessed Trinity found in the Bible. Join Deacon Jeff, Tom and Doug as they discuss just seven of the many “promises” that we can expect to receive when we invoke and welcome the Holy Spirit into our lives.
Resurrection
Alleluia! Come and celebrate Easter with us in the Luxurious Corner Booth of The Catholic Cafe. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom as they discuss the concept of the Resurrection and also lead us into a discussion of our own bodily resurrection on Judgment Day!
Living The Trinity
Are you a Trinitarian? Do you “live the Trinity?” Many people have a good relationship to one of the divine Persons of the Most Holy Trinity, but sometimes we find it hard to live life in a relationship with all Three. Join us in the Luxurious Corner Booth as Deacon Jeff, Tom and Doug speak of inviting fully into our lives the Triune God…Father Son and Holy Spirit.
The Number 40
Have you ever wondered why so many important events in the Bible lasted 40 days and nights or 40 years? That number 40 is actually significant and can tell us a lot about what the event is leading to. Join Deacon Jeff in the Luxurious Corner Booth as he, Tom and Doug discuss the number 40 and it’s biblical significance.
Give It Up For Lent
So…what did you give up for Lent? We have always loved asking and answering this question every Ash Wednesday. The problem is that, for many people, the idea of “giving something up” has lost it’s meaning and has even fallen by the wayside as a childish or obsolete custom. Join Deacon Jeff in the Luxurious Corner Booth as he, Tom and Doug discuss the meaning, purpose and extreme value of our Lenten practices as we prepare for the glories of Easter.
