  • Revelation - Seven Lampstands, Seven Churches
    The Book of Revelation is mysterious, unless you know the code. The secret code is the true worship of God. Revelation is based on the liturgy of the Mass. Through all the ups and downs of life, Catholics are called to true worship.

  • Two disturbing facts about the Resurrection of Jesus
    The Greco-Roman world had very dark understandings of death and the possibility of continued existence. The Jews, late in their history, came to a belief among, at least the Pharisees, that a resurrection of the dead would happen at the end of time. The Christians upended all of that - Christ is risen and the tomb is empty. Deal with it!

    In the Gospel for the Second Sunday of Easter, St. Thomas doubts the Resurrection. What is the difference between a difficulty, a doubt and skepticism? Important distinctions in the quest for truth. This week on OVC.

  • Tenebrae, the Hour of Darkness
    Tenebrae is a Christian remembrance of Christ's crucifixion. The music and scripture chosen commemortes the darkeness that seeks to overcome the inextinguashable light of the Son of God. Tenebrae prepares the Christ for the darkness and hope of the Paschal Triduum.

  • Cain, Jesus and Right Worship
    The sin of Adam and Eve leads to the travesty of sinful worship of God and the death of their son Abel at the hands of Cain, the older brother. The tragedy arises out of false worship. Another eldest son, Jesus of Nazareth will worship God in spirit and truth. He teaches His followers to do the same. The salvific value of true worship this week on OVC.

  • What is sin?
    What is sin? A weight... a debt ...disconnection from the divine. This week Christ is called to judge a woman caught in the very act of adultery? Should she be stoned? A trap? To be sure. By the end of the chapter, the powers of this world threaten Jesus with stoning. Adultery is an example of sin, but what is sin?

  • Eternity, death and a time for decision
    Kairos is the right time, the time of opportunity. In the Gospel, Jesus references death, guilt and the time for a decision. His parable? A fig tree that bears no fruit - it gets one more year!

  • Put your true enemies to death in the desert of Lent!
    Romans 10 says, "for, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord
    and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
    you will be saved." What does one of the most controversial passages in scripture mean? Simply put, 'faith that works.' You can oppose belief in your heart, this week on OVC. Please not that OVC is moving to a new platform on Podbean. Please subscribe there!
