Join Gary as he looks at the Mass readings for the 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time, the final Sunday before we head into Lent! The message is perfect for the season we're about to enter into - Jesus can make us clean. Tune in and let's discuss!

I am pleased to have Ken Litchfield back on the program today. He is a wealth of knowledge and author of the book "How Old Is Your Church: An Introductory Guide To Catholic Apologetics". We discuss the Jewish roots of Catholicism. Things like Baptism, order of worship, scripture, Eucharist, and clergy are discussed. It is very informative.

Our third show on The Creed: Beneath the Surface.  

This episode we focus on the Father as first Person of the Trinity and Creator of the universe.  Particularly speculative questions are pondered.

What do Catholics believe about the Eucharist?

Questions Covered:

 

19:28 - At the Last Supper, there is not a mention of the “lamb” in the Bible, so how are the apostles confused by that? 

29:29 - I find holes in your argument that Jesus wouldn’t break the law or command something that was previously commanded by God in Leviticus, in regard to consuming flesh and blood. Is it enough to say that God would not contradict or command different things? 

41:35 - Is Christ speaking metaphorically or literally when he says, “Unless you eat my body and drink my blood, you cannot have life within you”? If it is literal, then does that mean that people don’t have life without it? 

46:35 - What does it mean when the disciples respond to Christ and he asks if they will leave him as well? They respond, no, Lord, you have the words of eternal life. 

52:55 - I am Catholic but my parents are Protestant. They are so offended by the Eucharist being exclusively for Catholics and don’t care about the differences in belief. How can I explain this to them?

Give up worry for Lent, with Gary Zimak.

Questions Covered:

 

16:49 - I have been an oncology RN for 20 years and today my brother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer. How can I be there for my family and not worry? How can I call and comfort them when I have seen all the effects of cancer? 

18:16 - I just came out of adoration. I am an anxious person and adoration really helps me. 

24:11 - During adoration, what is it exactly that you should pray to help us to connect or concentrate, or is it just a moment of silence with the Lord? 

31:15 - I have an anxiety disorder and scrupulosity. Do you have any tips on how to deal with that? 

36:35 - Didn’t Mary and Joseph have considerable worry when they lost Jesus? Also, aren’t there some positive elements of worrying? I know some people who have no worries, and their lives are a mess. 

47:30 - How do we know when we are doing enough so we don’t have to worry? 

51:49 - My husband is high anxiety and some of our kids are, as well. Something that helps them is to play out some of these scenarios that worry them.

Musician, Friend and supporter of the BLM movement, Rufus Jones and Fr. Leo discuss racism from a technical, social, and even spiritual point of view.  It gets deep, but it’s worth hearing the carry out order from Fr. Leo and his guest, Rufus.

Hacer buenas obras por los demás nos reditúa mucho más de lo que obtenemos al privarnos de comidas deliciosas.
