God is in all things—including LEGOs! This week we talk with John Kraemer of the Lego Church Project, who in addition to doing great work offering a prayer for the future of the Church (with the help of 25,000 LEGO bricks), has a personal connection to Blessed Solanus Casey, who said,

“Blessed be God in all His designs.”

Be inspired by his incredible work, and see the latest process photos at https://www.facebook.com/LegoChurchProject/.

Where does the idea that we are made it God’s image and likeness come from?

Questions Covered:

11:50 - I have some cuts on my wrists from a serious depression that I went through. Am I forgiven for hurting myself like that? Am I still in the image of God? 

19:15 - How can we understand original sin and being made in the image and likeness of God? 

33:42 - If we are made in the image of God, why are we so prone to sin?  

43:20 - I think tattoos can be a way to beautify the body. How is it an evil or different from piercing the ears? 

48:50 - Is it wrong for an aborted fetus to be used for scientific progress? 

52:04 - How did your father’s pro-life view affect you?

This upcoming liturgical year features Matthew’s gospel in the Sunday readings. Why Matthew is so important for us today?

Questions Covered:

31:22 - My pastor said that Jesus was being sarcastic when he told the story of the shepherd leaving the 99 to find the one lost sheep. Is this a new theory? 

33:33 - Some skeptics say that Jesus never claimed to be God in the book of Matthew. How can I respond? 

40:56 - What does it mean when Jesus was on the Cross and he said, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Is Jesus quoting the Psalms and showing solidarity to the Jewish people? 

46:48 - Why does Jesus speak in parables so much about separating the sheep from the goats?
