SPECIAL HOLY WEEK EDITION:

It's a busy week for our parish, and you get the Twenty Three podcast one day early! This week Fr. Herb and Michael break apart Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter weekend. Consider it your CliffsNotes to the Triduum!

This week on the podcast, we prepare for the beginning of Holy Week! With two gospel readings - there's quite a bit to unpack this weekend. What's the significance of Jesus riding into the city from the east on a donkey? What are the two parts of this weekend's liturgy? When we read the passion, at what point do we enter the story every single time?

We return to the Gospel of John this week as Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. What is the significance of Jesus giving Lazarus new life? How does this apply to us? Who are other figures in the Bible that raised people from the dead?

You'll also hear a sneak peek of our Sharing the Vision event this Sunday!

This week a dramatic story unfolds as Jesus heals the man born blind. Fr. Herb and Michael break down the links between all of the readings for this weekend and how his incredible Gospel story relates to our Lenten journey.

Question of the week - What does it mean to live in the kingdom?

This week we examine the story of the woman at the well in the Gospel of John.

Just who was she? Why was it so unusual that Jesus would even talk to her? What happens after her encounter with Jesus?

Question of the week: Why do members of RCIA receive all the Sacraments of initiation at one time?

This week on the podcast: The Transfiguration and what really happened up on that mountain?

Fr. Herb answers the question - "Why can't Catholics eat meat on Fridays during Lent?"

Welcome to the first episode of the Twenty Three Podcast! Join Fr. Herb and Michael Puppos each week as they unpack the upcoming Sunday scripture readings in just 23 minutes.

This week we embark on the season of Lent and discuss life in the desert and how to better deal with temptation in our lives.
