The word Advent tells us that something…or actually, some One…is coming. The Church wants us to see the season of Advent as an opportunity to bring hope into our lives, see the potential and possibilities, and even experience a new beginning in life.
O Come Let Us Decorate
Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of giving thanks with gathered family and friends and the traditional beginning of the holiday season. But it can also be a time where we forget the true and special meaning and purpose of the Advent season.
Deeper In Faith
Deacon Jeff answers an email from a listener seeking insight into books and prayers that will help them increase their knowledge of God and deepen their faith.
The End Is Near
As the Church comes to the close of her liturgical year, the prescribed readings at Mass cause most of us to ponder the end times and judgment. Rather than fear this time, it should instill in each of us a sense of hope.
Angry At God
Life can certainly be difficult at times, even seemingly hopeless. Some people may find themselves angry at God, asking Him why this could be happening. Perhaps we can see some light at the end of the tunnel, and find a way to stay in grace.
Discerning FOCUS
Deacon Jeff discusses with Miguel Rodriguez how he discerned out of a comfy job offer right out of college and decided to become a missionary for the Fellowship of Catholic University Students. Making life choices are sometimes tough, but rewarding.
THE Church
It is true that some people do leave their Catholic faith behind, especially in times of crisis. But, perhaps a look into the Scriptures, Old and New Testaments, may shed some light on which Church is THE Church and give them good reason to return…or stay.
Being Saved
Many Catholics have been asked whether or not we are saved, or if we died tonight, where would we spend eternity. But, wipe that deer in the headlights look off your face, and find out what the Bible, and our Church, teaches about Salvation.
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.
Honor Your Father And Mother
