From the 4pm Mass on Saturday, May 9, 2026, the Sixth Sunday of Easter, Year A at St. Peter Catholic Church in Mount Clemens.

In my homily today I highlighted one of my favorite lines in the Bible: "Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope" (1 Peter 3:15).

My three points:

1. "A Reason for Your Hope"
2. The "Information" Age?
3. Love Seeks Understanding

Here is some material I referenced:

• Books:
  • Beginning Apologetics (this set of books played a big part in my intellectual conversion)
  • Catechism of the Catholic Church (Every Catholic should have this book!)
  • Sheen's Life of Christ (one of the best books ever written on Our Lord)
  • (I am intending on making a list of my favorite books and making it available, but until that happens, perhaps my Goodreads account can give you some ideas.)
• Podcasts: Anything from Fr. Mike Schmitz is great. Check out his "Bible in a Year" or "Catechism in a Year"
• Radio: Check out Ave Maria Radio or ETWN Radio
• TV: EWTN
