Segment 1: Philip Meets the Eunuch

Today’s readings are bound together by the theme of a father drawing us through His Word into the family. They begin when Philip meets an Ethiopian Eunuch who is studying the Scriptures in search of the Messiah. Marcus has more on what these readings mean.

Segment 2: The Theme of Faith in John’s Gospel

In the Gospel of John, Chapter 20, we read that Jesus’ works and miracles were recounted so that we may believe He is the Son of God. Some may think that this faith and belief is simply a matter of trusting in the Lord. But John means it to be more than that. David F. Sherwood is our guest.

Segment 3: Living a “Communist” Marriage (2 segments)

Michael Pakaluk and his wife live as communists. But they don’t extend that practice outside of their marriage. He explains what that means.

“How Do I Witness to Others?” This question leads to a discussion about the importance of faith in the family when considering baptism. Other topics include effective ways for new Catholics to witness to non-Catholics and a hopeful interpretation of Jesus’ teaching on marriage in heaven.
