In this podcast, Tony discusses the difference between being healed and cured. He talks about the paralytic and his encounter with Jesus from Luke’s gospel. As we live our lives, with the trials, diseases, and infirmities we might experience, it’s OK to pray for a cure, but more importantly, let’s pray for healing!

Scripture: One day as Jesus was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was with him for healing. And some men brought on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed; they were trying to bring him in and set [him] in his presence. But not finding a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on the stretcher through the tiles into the middle in front of Jesus. When he saw their faith, he said, “As for you, your sins are forgiven.”  Luke 5:17-20

Reflection: Do you understand the difference between healing and a cure? What is more important, you are cured or your sins are forgiven? What do you think was going through the minds of the friends of the paralyzed man following his encounter with the Lord?

God wants you where you are... He wants to be living in you so you can be a better spouse, single or religious person serving Him here on earth!

For many months I hear people complaining about wasting time and asking for guidance to over come it.  Well the wasting of time has a relationship with the sin of sloth. I talk about the Church’s prescription for sloth, which is the virtue of diligence. What does it mean to be a diligent person? I address that in the episode today.

Catholic Answers’ staff joins Cy and Tim for two hours of open forum.

Questions Covered:

 

06:18 – From Dave Matheson (Director of Development) – What is the difference between papal supremacy and papal primacy, and why is “supremacy” is favored over “primacy” in the Catholic Church? 

17:20 – From Jimmy Akin (Senior Apologist) – How do you memorize Scripture? How do you select the passages that you’ve memorized? 

31:13 – Donna Barrack (Director of Marketing) – What do I say when a friend, now a former Catholic, talks about “earthing” or “what the universe is doing for her”? It’s not like she’s asking a question, she’s simply sharing the way she looks at the world. 

45:00 – From Chris Costello (Director of IT) – Since Mary was assumed body and soul into heaven, why does her appearance vary in Fatima, Lourdes, Guadalupe, etc? 

50:03 – From Marie Bates (Assistant Producer) What will heaven be like? What will our glorified bodies be like?

19:43 – From Jon Sorensen (Chief Operating Officer) – I have heard some Catholics in the public sphere argue that abortion is not the “pre-eminent issue” of our time, and that other life issues carry equal or greater weight. What does the Church say about this? 

32:08 – From Zach Maxwell (YouTube Manager) – What is your take on private revelation? I think it causes a lot of anxiety. Is there any good that comes from it? How do we approach someone who believes this stuff?

What I've been up to for the last three months!

What a summer! I learned a ton of things and I want to share them with you!

Often times we see a genealogy and skip over it.  After all it is full of names that are hard to pronounce.  The genealogy of Jesus is filled with so much information.  In fact it is a summary of salvation history.  Looking at the genealogy gives us a deeper appreciation of the work that Christ has done for all of us.
