When we make a New Years Resolution, we usually resolve to clean out the garage, lose some weight, be kind to others, or some other good intention which seems to be in line with the spirit of season. Maybe this year should be different. Maybe this year we should resolve to spend more time with the revealed word of God, the Sacred Scriptures.

Resurrection Morning
By recounting the scriptural accounts of the morning of the Resurrection, the state of mind of those involved, and the evidence of the events that occurred, we can rest assured that the Christian faith in a Risen Christ is not only feasible and reasonable, but most assuredly true.
Docility Of Heart
Most of us know the story of Abraham and his willingness to follow the command of God in sacrificing his only son, Isaac. But, most of us have probably not thought about this story from the perspective of Isaac.

The Parable of the Talents is familiar to most, but perhaps there is another way of looking at it that might give us a renewed perspective on this powerful Gospel message.

The Word Proclaimed: The Word At Mass
The Word of God proclaimed in the setting of the Mass, whether the readings, the prayers or even the homily, is not always received very well. Perhaps we might not fully realize that Jesus is made present to us in his Word
Women Priests
When the question about women priests is asked, many folks stumble over an answer. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom as they work through a simple, orthodox series of answers to assist in sharing the truth about ordaining only men.

Behold
The word behold is very important in Sacred Scripture, and especially so during Advent and Christmas. But, perhaps our modern culture has diminished the meaning of this unique word. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom as they peruse through several Scripture verses that highlight the meaning of behold.
Memorized Prayers
Is there anything wrong with memorized prayers? Would God prefer you pray only spontaneously? Perhaps there are actually some previously unrealized benefits of memorized prayers.
