Happy Easter! He Is Risen! He Is Risen Indeed! In the first segment, we talk about the season on Easter! Easter didn't end a few Sundays ago!

In the last segment, we read and discuss the statement from the Michigan Bishops about the vaccines, especially the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Happy April Fools Day! Today, we begin by talking about how we should be fools for Christ!

Also, today is Holy Thursday, so in the second segment we talk about what happens during this day of the Triduum.

In the second segment, we talk about the Annunciation - our feast day today!

Our next installment of the #BYOB (Bishop's Year of the Bible) is from the Book of Nehemiah! 

Then, a short discussion about what returning to Mass will be like. What should we expect going into the summer? In what ways will the Church have to change in the midst of the world changing? I don't have all the answers, but perhaps a few points to get us started. 

Today we try to reclaim St. Patrick’s Day! We look into the actual history of St. Patrick and his incredible story! As St. Paul says in Ephesians, let’s not get drunk with wine, but be filled with the Spirit!

In our last segment, we interview artist and iconographer Cecilia Lawrence. You can find her incredible work at https://www.deviantart.com/theophilia.

Today we begin by talking about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. You may have heard that phrase before, but have never really known what it meant. Here, we go into what that means, and how we all can be baptized by the Holy Spirit!
