Today as we celebrate the great feast of the conversion of Saint Paul, we take a look at the Parable of the Sower and the Seed, that enigmatic story of Jesus that promised an abundant life to those who hear it and are able to apply its wisdom in their daily lives. So, what are you waiting for? Find out how to be rich soil that bears fruit--30, 60, or 100-fold!
What do you do when you pray and pray and it just seems that God is not listening or is not sending you the solution that you so ardently desire?
Let's take a look at this universal experience of (seemingly) unanswered prayer from a few different perspectives, always relying on sacred scripture, the inspired Word of God, and the historical events of salvation history recorded in the Bible and interpreted via the Catechism of the Catholic Church. What do you do when you pray and it seems that your prayers are not being answered? This is the topic of our episode today.
In this episode, we explore the mystery of the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River by John, and we do this with an eye to understanding what it all means for us in the modern world today.
Here are some of the texts referenced in this episode: Mark 10:38 Matthew 28:19 Matthew 14, Mark 6, Luke 9, John 6 (miracle of loaves & fishes) Mark 15:39 (Centurion's profession of faith) Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) 1225 John 3:5
In this episode, we ring in the New Year with reflections on seemingly disparate topics, bringing it all together in a way that compels us to resolve to make better decisions in 2024 and gives us the clarity of a litmus test for making decisions.
