In this episode I recommend six books that I believe every catholic should read. These books were instrumental in mu conversion to the catholic church and are sure to answer questions that Catholics and non-Catholics have about the faith.

Jesus starts the parable of the sower with the first of four types of soil. That of Rocky soil. The seed who falls on rocky soil flourishes at first, but has no root. It can't withstand hard times.

Jesus begins to describe what the parable of the sower means.

Jesus says that the disciples are blessed for what they have seen and heard. In extension, through our faith we have this blessing as well.

Jesus explained why he speaks in parables and then directly quotes from the book of Isaiah.

Jesus says that those who have much that much will be given, and those who have little even that will be taken away. What does this mean?

The discipes ask Jesus why he teaches in parables.

There was no episode last week because I was on a family vacation. In this week's episode I discuss whether the Eucharist is the true body and blood of Christ, or a symbol as our Protestant brethren believe. In this episode I take a look at scripture and the church fathers to make the determination.

Jesus sartes teaching the people with a parable. In this case the parable of the sower. What is a parable, and what does this particular one mean?

Chapter 13 Mark's the third discourse in Matthew's gospel, and we sea Jesus sitting by the sea.
