This is the first in a series of episodes delving into Holy Matrimony in an effort to rekindle an appreciation of this sacred sacrament of the Church that has fallen out of favor in our modern and worldly culture.
Mary And Elizabeth
Mary And Elizabeth is an apostolate for the interior renewal of women that daily answers the spiritual needs of women while helping them come to know themselves, Jesus, and their role in the Church and in the world.
Heartbeat Of The Church
Some folks may think that the various Feasts of the Church are somewhat randomly arranged throughout the liturgical year. But, they would be wrong. There is a beautiful thematic connectivity running through every feast the Church celebrates that affords even more meaning to them once you are aware.
Trinitarian Love
As the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity and unfolds for us this great mystery, we see that the love of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is the source and model for all love, and especially the love of man and wife in Holy Matrimony.
Our Own Pentecost
As the Church rounds out the season of Easter with the celebration of Pentecost, it is important to realize that the coming of the promised Holy Spirit is not just for the Universal Church, there is also a personal aspect of Pentecost when we recall our own reception if the Sacrament of Confirmation.
The Ascension Of The Lord
The Easter Season is still upon us and the Church calls us to celebrate the Ascension of the Lord. Many may have lost sight of what this feast can mean for us if we know how to look at it in the proper context. Our Lord not only rose from the grave, he rose from the earth as well!
My Kids Have Left The Church
My kids have left the Church. Or my friends, or my family. This seems to be a constant refrain from concerned Catholics today. As a continuation of our show last week, we delve a little further into what to do and what not to do when the ones we care about stop caring about God.
The Catholic Church In A Pagan World
When you look at all the events that are occurring around us, you realize that our modern world has slipped into a pagan existence not unlike the times of early Christianity. But, we are not left without hope, The Church is truly a light in the darkness for our families.
Holy Face Devotion
The Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus, usually represented by the Shroud of Turin image of the face of Jesus, was started by a lesser-known Carmelite nun from the middle of the nineteenth century. It is Church-approved and based on her private revelations. With a focus on the evils of Communism and atheism, it is especially relevant even in our world today.
The Season Of Resurrection
When all the Easter candy and decorations are cleared out of stores, many think Easter is over. But, that is not true for the Church. In much the same way we prepare for Easter through the season of Lent, it is appropriate that we realize and take the time to celebrate the entire season of Easter afforded us by the Church.
