    Faith and the Sources of the Self
    2025/05/17

Oh, yes! It means quite a lot. The Acts of the Apostles, early Christian preaching and my true self, this week on OVC.

    Revelation - Seven Lampstands, Seven Churches
    2025/05/10
    The Book of Revelation is mysterious, unless you know the code. The secret code is the true worship of God. Revelation is based on the liturgy of the Mass. Through all the ups and downs of life, Catholics are called to true worship.

  • Two disturbing facts about the Resurrection of Jesus

    Two disturbing facts about the Resurrection of Jesus
    2025/05/03
    The Greco-Roman world had very dark understandings of death and the possibility of continued existence. The Jews, late in their history, came to a belief among, at least the Pharisees, that a resurrection of the dead would happen at the end of time. The Christians upended all of that - Christ is risen and the tomb is empty. Deal with it!

  • Tenebrae, the Hour of Darkness

    Tenebrae, the Hour of Darkness
    2025/04/17
    Tenebrae is a Christian remembrance of Christ's crucifixion. The music and scripture chosen commemortes the darkeness that seeks to overcome the inextinguashable light of the Son of God. Tenebrae prepares the Christ for the darkness and hope of the Paschal Triduum. Music by St. Mark Choir pursuant to One License Annual License w/Podcasting # A-726294

    Cain, Jesus and Right Worship
    2025/04/12
    The sin of Adam and Eve leads to the travesty of sinful worship of God and the death of their son Abel at the hands of Cain, the older brother. The tragedy arises out of false worship. Another eldest son, Jesus of Nazareth will worship God in spirit and truth. He teaches His followers to do the same. The salvific value of true worship this week on OVC.

  • What is sin?

    What is sin?
    2025/04/05
    What is sin? A weight... a debt ...disconnection from the divine. This week Christ is called to judge a woman caught in the very act of adultery? Should she be stoned? A trap? To be sure. By the end of the chapter, the powers of this world threaten Jesus with stoning. Adultery is an example of sin, but what is sin?
