Christ the Fulfillment: St. Paul Proclaims the Past, and the Power of the Present The Church marks the midpoint of the Easter season and . . . . . . highlights a shift in the liturgical readings toward Jesus' teachings during the Last Supper. These teachings serve to deepen the understanding of the mysteries of Christ's death and resurrection. The Homily emphasizes that these events are not just historical but living realities made present through the liturgy, especially in the Mass. The Decisive Moment in History Saint Paul's speech in the synagogue, in the First Reading, underscores that the entire history of Israel . . . Abraham, Moses, David, the prophets . . . was not merely a buildup to Christ, but served the purpose of revealing Him. Paul proclaims that Jesus' resurrection is the decisive moment in history, fulfilling and surpassing all that came before. Jesus' act of washing the disciples' feet sets the tone for discipleship: humility, service, and fidelity. The Mass is emphasized as the place where Christ's sacrifice is made present, where believers physically engage with the saving mystery. The upcoming gospel are not just teachings but revelations that invite Christians to enter more deeply into the death and resurrection of Jesus . . . a reality proclaimed and professed in every Eucharist. Listen to: Christ the Fulfillment: St. Paul Proclaims the Past, and the Power of the Present ------------------------------------------------------------ A Quote from the Homily What a powerful statement that is. That the fulcrum of all of this, the point of all of this, the goal of those many centuries of history of that tortured relationship of Israel with its God, this history of faithfulness and unfaithfulness all comes down to this glorious point now where we see that God has indeed done something unexpected, something marvelous, something new. And so it is. Paul concludes his reflection with those words of John the Baptist. I am not the one. Nothing in the past is the one. There is one who is greater than I, and now Paul announces the one who is greater, the one who is greater than all of the others, is the one who has risen from the dead. The one who is greater, the one who is the reason for all of these other things. ------------------------------------------------------------ Christ the Savior with the Eucharist: Spanish Painter: Juan de Juanes:  1545 – 1550 This oil-based painting on wood is one of three parts.

As a new Pope has ascended the Chair of St. Peter, Our Lord ascends into Heaven. We will Look at these two "Ascensions" from the perspective of Eastern Christian spirituality.

The greetings and salutations commencing 2 Thessalonians are identical to Paul's other letters except for the pastoral epistles (1 Timothy; 2 Timothy; Titus). In chapter 1 verses 3-4 the Apostle thanks God for the Thessalonican brothers and sisters, whose faith was growing and their love increasing. Despite persecution they were steadfast for the gospel. From verses 5-12 Paul urges for that patience to continue for it will receive the promised reward at the second coming, and kingdom, of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord when he comes with the angels will also avenge his faithful. The persecutors of the believers will then receive what they deserve. Chapter 2 tells that before the Lord will come there will be a huge forsaking of the true belief and a system of deceit, which pretends to be the truth will arise in the earth. The words translated “falling away” and “lawlessness” both in the Greek language have the numerical value of 666 ( compare Revelation 13:16-18). From the other identifying features in this chapter and those within the book of Revelation tells us that this is the Roman Catholic Church with the Pope as its head. Note that the delusion which allowed this system to develop came about because those who fell away “received not the love of the Truth” (v10). From verses 13-17 the Apostle urges them to stand firm for the faith.

Scripture: Acts 1:3, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, Galatians 1:18-19, 1 Timothy 1:13-17. In today's study we take a look at a Credal Statement. What is a Credal Statement?      ⁃    It is a fundamental of faith     ⁃    It enable people to talk about what they know and believe     ⁃    It is easily memorized     ⁃    It is easily understood     ⁃    It is easily shared Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:3-5 “What I received I passed on to you. And it is the most important of all. Here is what it is. Christ died for our sins, just as Scripture said he would. He was buried. He was raised from the dead on the third day, just as Scripture said he would be. He appeared to Peter. Then he appeared to the 12 apostles.” (The Credal Statement in bold.) Then Paul continues with verses 6-8, “After that, he appeared to more than 500 brothers and sisters at the same time. Most of them are still living. But some have died. He appeared to James. Then he appeared to all the apostles. Last of all, he also appeared to me. I was like someone who wasn't born at the right time.” Paul mentions three men in these verses: Peter, James (Jesus' 1/2 brother) and himself. 2000 years later we have evidences of authenticity: There is convincing physical evidence of Peter's home in Jerusalem.  Pastor shares pictures.  There is a bone box, The James Ossuary, which has also been discovered and has an inscription, “James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus.” The basic consensus of scholarly opinion is that this is very likely authentic.   Who were these men?  Peter: denied Jesus publicly three times James: his brother, was an unbeliever - did not believe Jesus was who He was, and James ridiculed his brother Jesus Paul: persecuted and killed believers and denounced Jesus Who did they become?     ⁃    Peter became an apostle of Christ and bold preacher of God's Word. Even arrest, beatings, and threats didn't lessen Peter's determination to preach the risen Christ.     ⁃    James, after seeing Jesus risen from the grave, became a believer and also became the leader of the early Christian church in Jerusalem.     ⁃    Paul was born Saul and he persecuted believers, but after meeting Jesus on a walk to Damascus Saul became Paul the Apostle and defender of the Gospel. What did these three have in common?     ⁃    They had all failed Jesus     ⁃    A denier     ⁃    A radical     ⁃    A persecutor     ⁃    All come to faith in the Risen Lord      ⁃    Their lives are changed     ⁃    They give powerful testimonies to Christ's love  for all sinners What else do they have in common?     ⁃    The PARDON of Christ - Forgiveness in full.     ⁃    Each of their stories is a story of redemption in Jesus and a testimony that not a single one of us is beyond the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.     ⁃    In these three men we see that God saved the worst of us so that He might save all of us. Their changed lives are a testimony to the heart of God wanting us all. How do their stories speak to us today? Applications of the Pardon of God     ⁃    Christ's mercy and grace is for us too - 1 Timothy 1:13-14 “I used to speak evil things against Jesus. I tried to hurt his followers. I really pushed them around. But God showed me mercy anyway. I did those things without knowing any better. I wasn't a believer. Our Lord poured out more and more of his grace on me. Along with it came faith and love from Christ Jesus.”     ⁃    Christ's saving power is for us too - 1 Timothy 1:15 “Here is a saying that you can trust. It should be accepted completely. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. And I am the worst sinner of all.”     ⁃    Nothing we have done can cause Jesus not to want to win us over to Himself     ⁃    Nothing that would cause Him to say He's done with us     ⁃    God wants ALL to be saved.     ⁃    Christ's patient renewal is for us too- 1 Timothy 1:16 “But for that very reason, God showed me mercy. And I am the worst of sinners. He showed me mercy so that Christ Jesus could show that he is very patient. I was an example for those who would come to believe in him. Then they would receive eternal life.” Incredible Love - Incredible Grace - Incredible Pardon And Jesus' mercy and grace, saving power, patient renewal and incredible love are for us, too! Paul, Peter and James were living examples of God's incredible grace - we too are living examples of His incredible grace. Pardon - God offers pardon, forgiveness to all who will repent and believe in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and we become the children of God…. FOREVER!! Now What?

My Lord Husband's Ring by Darlene Porter Darleneporter.com Amazon.com Quite near the center of south-central of Medieval France, in the Year of Our Lord, 1535, Lady Marie Therese Caron stepped off a heavy traveling carriage in the courtyard of Aufey Castle. Youthful, gracious Marquis Robert Moreau, one of the four noblemen vassals to the Duc de Languedoc, greeted her upon arrival. His family had been tasked with administering the northernmost territory of the duchy for generations. Death is seldom planned. And Lady Marie had been orphaned at the loss of her father, le Comte' (or baron), himself a vassal of the marquis. Since she had no brothers, her cousin assumed the baronry, essentially pushing her out. As it was but weeks prior to the marriage to Lord Robert's second son, Lord Dominique, the teenage girl had been invited to Aufey prior to the event. In this moving novel, we watch the couple, against the customs of the time, fall in love. The status of wife of the second son fit just fine with the quiet girl's nature. For Lord Dominque, his role as the anticipated future seneschal of the marquisette made him the man out of the spotlight but vital to its function. He and his bride were ready to play support roles to the larger personalities that were next in line of succession. Out of the dark of night came a force of attackers. In a traitorous act the Captain-of-the-Guard had deployed far too many of the vassal knights and garrisoned soldiers away from Aufey. It gave a fatal advantage to the invaders. The Moreau dynasty fell that night. Lady Marie managed to survive the bloodbath, flee the castle and surrounding area. She found herself taken in by a generous-hearted couple, Lady Marie became simple "Marie". She found herself doing naught but marking time. Then a rumor came to town¿ One of the Moreau lords survived the attack¿ About the author Darlene Porter's education at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, resulted in the degree of Bachelor's of Science, Nursing, and a minor in history. The author spent 33 years working as an RN. She currently lives in Southern California with her husband and extended family in a multi-generational home.

Have you ever met anyone that's had a near death experience? During this week's episode, Fr. Joseph told me (Matt) about the experience one of the Diocese's own pastors. He died, experienced purgatory and judgement, but was given a second chance by Our Lord. This week, we discussed the Four Last Things; Death, Judgement, Hell, (Purgatory) and Heaven. We discussed not only near death experiences, but what Scripture, Tradition and the Mystics tell us of these experiences and places. St. Faustina's description of Hell is… terrifying. Truly “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). Simultaneously, as we seek to understand Heaven, it's… exciting! Perhaps, most importantly, we discuss the proper way to hope in Our Lord's mercy.

In John 16, our Lord Jesus Christ tells prepares His disciples for the time He will be betrayed and taken from them. He gives them hope of the joy that they will experience when they see Him again. At the same time, He is speaking to them and us of the last days between His Ascension and His second and final coming; we will call it today the age of the in between. What encouragement can we draw from our Lord's words in this passage? Our Lord teaches us in this reading how we should live in and from Him in the midst of the sufferings of this age.

In this enlightening episode of Sermon Brainwave, hosts Karoline Lewis, Matt Skinner, and Rolf Jacobson delve into the theological significance of the Ascension of Our Lord, which falls on May 29, 2025. The conversation explores why this often-overlooked feast day is crucial for understanding Jesus' ongoing authority and presence in the world today. The hosts discuss how the Ascension serves as the pivotal bridge between Luke and Acts, connecting Jesus' earthly ministry to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and its importance for Trinitarian theology. Drawing from the lectionary texts (Acts 1:1-11, Psalm 47, Ephesians 1:15-23, and Luke 24:44-53), the hosts unpack how the Ascension of Our Lord is not merely about Jesus' location but about his authority and power. They explore the connection between Christ's ascension and the church's mission, explaining that Jesus' enthronement isn't about distant rule but about his continued embodied presence and activity through the Spirit. This episode offers valuable insights for preachers and teachers seeking to communicate the relevance and importance of the Ascension in contemporary Christian faith. *  *  * Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to stay connected with more insightful lectionary discussions!

The Ascension of Our Lord

In the second episode of our miniseries on Jože Plečnik, we discussed four of his early church buildings, each representing a unique interlacing of early Christian architecture, 20th century classicism, and his idiosyncratic approach to style, detailing and planning which give all his buildings such a unique atmosphere. In this episode we discussed: St. Bartholomew's Church, Ljubljana (cerkev sv. Jerneja) Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord, Prague (Kostel Nejsvětějšího Srdce Páně) Church of St. Francis of Assisi, Ljubljana (Župnijska cerkev Frančiška Asiškega) Church of the Ascension, Bogojina (Cerkev Gospodovega vnebohoda) Watch this episode on YouTube to follow along with the images: https://youtu.be/szuyRFu0wis Edited by Matthew Lloyd Roberts.

Easter III (May 4, 2025)The story seems like comfortable at first:  The disciples go fishing, they eat breakfast with Jesus and then Peter tells Jesus he loves him. (John 21:1-17)But once you start digging, you realize this is a story about the power of shame.  Peter is ashamed of his denial of Jesus and this manifests itself in all sorts of typical shame behaviorAvoidingCovering UpFocusing on self and past mistakesHow then can Peter move forward?  How can we move forward in our shame?It turns out that nice guy Jesus isn't going to cut it.  Instead, we need the son of the living God to redeem us from sin and shame.The painting is by Tissot.  It is on display at the Brooklyn Museum of Art

In St. John's Gospel, Jesus's third appearance happens after a night of fruitless fishing for the apostles.  Our Lord's intervention makes up abundantly for the lack of success they had that night.  Our lives too are often marked by apparent failure and frustration.  Like the apostles, this can be made right by a new encounter with the Risen Christ.  https://comeawaybyyourselves.com

The Apostles' Creed - His Only Son, Our Lord by First Pres Kingwood

Friends of the Rosary,Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the Apostles Philip and James, both named in the Eucharistic Prayer of the Roman Canon. They suffered, were persecuted, and martyred, but they trusted in God.As we read in the Gospel today, we, too, must have confidence in God and not be troubled by our adversities. There are many mansions in our Father's house, and if we follow His instructions, Christ will come at the end of our lives and take us to Himself.Like Sts. Peter and Andrew, St. Philip was a fisherman from Bethsaida, in Galilee. According to tradition, he was crucified at Hierapolis in Phrygia, where he had preached the Gospel. Christ declared to St. Philip, "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father... I am the Father and the Father is in me" (Jn 14:8, 11).St. James, often called St. James the Less because St. Mark refers to him as "the younger" (Mk 15:40), was a cousin of Our Lord. He was favored by an appearance of the Risen Christ (I Cor. 15:7). As bishop of Jerusalem, St. James wrote an Epistle of the New Testament.When he refused to deny the Divinity of Christ, the Jews threw him from the Temple terrace and then stoned him to death. He was ninety-six years old and had governed the Church for thirty years in a holy manner.As he lay there half dead, with legs broken by the fall, he lifted his hands toward heaven and prayed to God for the salvation of his enemies, saying: Lord, forgive them for they know not what they do! Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

These three point to Christ and flow from Christ. Jesus shows His disciples His hands side, from which blood and water flowed, saying “Peace be with you.” He presents the wounds which turn our fear to gladness and which restore us to the Father. Jesus breathes on His disciples and says, “Receive the Holy Spirit” (John 20:23). His breath, His words are Spirit and life. They raise up our dry, dead bones and give us new and everlasting life (Ezek. 37:1–14). Christ now gives His ministers to speak His forgiving, Spirit-filled words to the penitent in His stead. Our Lord continues to come to His people, presenting His wounds to us in the Sacraments of water and blood. He bids us to touch His side at His table, to receive His risen body and blood in true faith, that believing we may have life in His name.

In Acts 3 we have the healing of the crippled man, who was lame from birth and greater than 40 years of age (4 verse 22). He represented Israel and their inability to walk before God. Peter commanded the lame man to fix his gaze on them, which he did expecting alms. He got greater – he received healing and discipleship; and walking, and leaping, and praising God he entered the temple with Peter and John. Remarkable words of witness follow with the testimony that there is no other name under heaven by which salvation can come; than our Lord Jesus Christ. Buddhism, Hinduism cannot save. Our Lord was the stone rejected by men, but chosen and precious to God (Psalm 118 verses 22). Peter outlined in verses 19-26 what they must do. The rulers sent officers in chapter 4 to arrest Peter and John. Note that the number of disciples had now reached 5,000. They were cross examined by the Counsel and commanded to refrain In Acts 3 we have the healing of the crippled man, who was lame from birth and more than 40 years old ( 4:22). This healing has many parallels with the testy of the crippled man at the pool of Bethesda in John 5. The crippled man represents Israel and their inability to walk before their God. Peter commands the lame man to fix his gaze on them, which he does expecting alms. The crippled man receives far greater – he receives healing and discipleship. And walking, and leaping, and praising God he enters the temple with Peter and John. Remarkable words of witness follow with the testimony of Peter that there is no other name given under heaven by which salvation can come than our Lord Jesus Christ. Buddhism, Hinduism and all other isms cannot save. Our Lord was the stone rejected by men, but chosen and precious to God (Psalm 118 verse 22). Peter outlines in verses 19-26 what they must do. The rulers send officers in chapter 4 to arrest Peter and John. Note that the number of disciples had now reached 5,000. They were examined by the Counsel and commanded to refrain from preaching Christ Jesus. The Apostles' response is that: “We cannot cease from doing what the Almighty has commanded us”. Peter and John are threatened and released. Upon joining their fellow believers the two Apostles together with their assembled brothers praise the LORD and in prayer speak of what had just happened as being a fulfilment of Psalm 2. Their Sovereign's response to their prayer is a shaking of the house they were in. God is further demonstrating His power in support of their testimony. This was given as yet another endorsement by their God of His guarantee to support his ecclesia's faithful testimony. The spirit of unity and community is spoken of in verses 32-37. Oh for such a spirit among believers today!

John 12:12–19 Color: Red Old Testament: Zechariah 9:9–12 Psalm: Psalm 31:9–16; antiphon: v. 5 Psalm: Psalm 118:19–29; antiphon: v. 26 Epistle: Philippians 2:5–11 Gospel: Matthew 26:1—27:66 Gospel: Matthew 27:11–54 Introit: Psalm 22:1, 7–8, 11; antiphon: vv. 19, 21 Gradual: Psalm 73:23b–24, 1 Tract: Psalm 22:1, 4–5 The Cross and Passion of Our Lord Are the Hour of His Glory   “Behold, your King is coming to you . . . humble and mounted on a donkey” (Zech. 9:9–12; Mt. 21:1–9). Our Lord rides in this humble fashion because He is entering Jerusalem to humble Himself even to the point of death on a cross (Phil. 2:5–11). His kingly crown will not be made of gold but of thorns, the sign of sin's curse. For His royal reign is displayed in bearing this curse for His people, saving us from our enemies by sacrificing His own life. The sinless One takes the place of the sinner so that the sinner can be freed and bear the name “Barabbas,” “son of the Father” (Matthew 26 and 27). It is at the name of this exalted Savior, Jesus, that we bow in humble faith. With the centurion who declared, “Truly this was the Son of God!” (Mt. 27:54), we are also given to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil. 2:11).

Friends of the Rosary,Today, the Octave Day of Easter, is the Sunday of Divine Mercy.We rejoice in the mystery of Divine mercy, a gift to humanity that the world needs to accept and understand.From the Beginning, the Divinity revealed His nature as love itself. The love of the Risen Lord forgives, reconciles, and restores life.The origin of Divine Mercy Sunday is from a revelation from Our Lord to the Polish nun Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska.Following Jesus' request, Faustina Kowalska initiated the Divine Mercy devotion.On May 5, 2000, five days after the canonization of Saint Faustina, the Roman Catholic Church decreed that the Second Sunday of Easter would be known as Divine Mercy Sunday.Divine mercy is God's refusal to leave us in our fallen condition. Christ Jesus enters our hardened hearts, banishing fear and sin, and He says, “Peace be with you.”"I shall sing forever the Lord's mercy" (Ps 89 [88]).— Jesus to Sr. Faustina | Excerpts from the Diary of Faustina KowalskaOn one occasion, I heard these words: "My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Everything that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most tender mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love and mercy throughout eternity. The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy.""[Let] the greatest sinners place their trust in My mercy. They have the right before others to trust in the abyss of My mercy. My daughter, write about My mercy towards tormented souls. Souls that make an appeal to My mercy delight Me. To such souls I grant even more graces than they ask. I cannot punish even the greatest sinner if he makes an appeal to My compassion, but on the contrary, I justify him in My unfathomable and inscrutable mercy. Write: before I come as a just Judge, I first open wide the door of My mercy. He who refuses to pass through the door of My mercy must pass through the door of My justice."From all My wounds, like from streams, mercy flows for souls, but the wound in My Heart is the fountain of unfathomable mercy. From this fountain spring all graces for souls. The flames of compassion burn Me. I desire greatly to pour them out upon souls. Speak to the whole world about My mercy." On Good Friday, 1937, Jesus requested that St. Faustina make a special Divine Mercy Novena to be recited from Good Friday through the following Saturday in preparation for the Feast of Mercy.Jesus also asked that a picture be painted according to the vision of Himself as the fountain of mercy. He gave her a Chaplet of Divine Mercy to be recited and said that it was appropriate to pray the chaplet at three o'clock each afternoon (the Hour of Great Mercy).Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

You know what it's like to go to a new church as an adult not knowing what to expect. There are so many variables to consider especially if you're exploring or new to faith. What will they talk about, who will be there, will they ask anything of me, how much will I have to donate, will there be snakes on stage…etc. Coming to church as an outsider is a scary thing, especially when the church is such an obviously broken place, come on we should be able to admit it by now. We're kinda messed up!Many people, believers and non believers, look at the church and think to themselves I could never be a part of that and yet the Church is supposed to be a display of God's glory that is attractive to those who are hurting and broken. This weekend we start a new series in 1st Corinthians that will help us be honest about ourselves and bring unity to what we believe, namely Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So if you know someone who is confused by the church, tell 'em that we are too sometimes and that they should give it a try. Can't wait to see you Sunday. If you wanna read ahead, we'll be covering 1 Corinthians 1-4.Pastor Matt McCarter

HOW TO MAXIMIZE YOUR MARRIAGE (EPHESIANS 5:21-33) In today's message, we will be looking at what the Bible tells us about marriage.  About the kind of marriage that God wants us to have.  The kind of marriage that He has planned for His Church, and the kind of marriage where both the husband and wife maximize their love for God, and then through God, their love for each other.  I know that when I teach on the home, I am really getting down to where the action is, because if you live for Jesus at home, and in your home, then you can live for Jesus anywhere, amen? And, if it won't work at home, then it just won't work anywhere. Above all earthly relationships, before business, before your father and mother, and even before children, a man should love his wife, and a wife should love her husband.. The relationship between husband and wife is compared to the relationship of Christ and the Church. That is, the highest of all spiritual relationships and the highest of all human relationships is not mother and child, but husband and wife. Mark 10:7-8 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. KJV You see, as Christ loved the Church, a man is to love his wife. He is to love her supremely. And, if we had those kinds of homes, things would be different in this country—wives who are faithful followers, husbands who are loving leaders. Our Lord loves us so much that He wants all of us to have three happy homes. The first happy home that God wants you to have is your family home. The second happy home that God wants you to have is a church home. The third happy home that God wants you to have is a heavenly home. And all three are centered in the Lord Jesus Christ. You won't have a happy family home without Jesus; you are not going to have a happy church home without Jesus; and you are not going to have a heavenly home without Jesus. And if you don't have Jesus, then you've missed it.  Click on the play button to hear a message on how to maximize your love for God, and through God, maximize your love for each other.   This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS. Amen.

Because of Jesus's blood and His work on the cross, the cross has become a worldwide symbol of hope and God's love. Time is measured by the cross and divided into B.C. (Before Christ) and A.D. (Anno Domini, Latin for "In the Year of Our Lord"). In the new series, "The Cross," Duane Sheriff explores the mystery of the cross and how Jesus' sacrifice transforms our identity, freeing us from sin, legalism, addictions, and worldly influences. According to 1 Corinthians 1, the message of the cross may appear foolish to the world, but for those who believe, it is the power and wisdom of God. In this episode, Duane shares his testimony of experiencing an open vision in which he saw himself united with Jesus during His crucifixion and resurrection.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/the-cross/

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the revelation of God. He shows us who God is.This is especially true at the end of Our Lord's life. We reveal what we are particularly in a time of crisis. It is the time of Our Lord's Passion that we see more clearly than ever before Who He is, Who God is.The Last Supper and the Passion make one thing very clear: our God is humble.Each event of the Last Supper and the Passion is a manifestation of Our Lord's humility.There are many aspects of Our Lord's humility that we could speak about. But I want to focus on one of them: Our Lord's effort to lower Himself in order to do good to us.We could say that Our Lord has to make a choice between two things: love and justice. If He chooses justice, He maintains Himself strictly in His state of Godhood. If He chooses love, He lowers Himself so that He can stoop down to His miserable creatures and assist them.We see what Our Lord chooses. He chooses love, a love that works through humility. The love of God uses humility as the most effective way to express itself and achieve its goal of doing good to us.On this night of the Last Supper, Our Lord performs three great acts of humility that enable Him to do great good to the Apostles and also to us.

Fr. Benjamin gives the sermon on Great Friday. He gives the sermon concerning the lamentations of Jeremiah and the suffering of Our Lord on this day.

Patrick tackles tough family conversations, like handling confusing messages about gender with grandkids and standing firm in faith when it’s unpopular. Patrick answers questions about abstaining from meat during Holy Week, clears up misunderstandings about Catholic customs, and offers advice on enjoying music that fits Catholic values. He explains why some parishes shorten Easter Vigil readings and addresses whether Catholics need to host Seder meals. Maureen - My 5-year-old grandson told me that some boys don't have penises. How am I supposed to respond to this? It seems like child abuse. (01:50) Email – What counts as a Vigil Mass? (07:41) Mischa - Can you recommend any ways I can ethically listen to popular music that is not specifically religious, but is not in conflict with Catholic values? (09:21 Andrew - How is Church fairing with respect and solemnity of Triduum? (12:43) Maggie - In Mexico, we had a tradition to abstain from meat during the entire Holy Week? is this just a cultural tradition? (22:06) Robert – Are there any comments from the early Church Father's on what Our Lord was doing in the Temple? (29:12) Maribel - The Vatican website says that the local bishops have further authority in this practice. The US conference of Bishops are clear in this but in Mexico, some bishops have said that people can eat chicken. Hence the confusion among these people. (34:47) Lilly - If we die in state of grace, does Jesus remember our sins? Will he reveal all of our sins? (37:25) Carmen - Do Catholics make Seder meals on Holy Thursday? Is there a good Holy Thursday meal? (42:51)

(3:14) Bible Study: Exodus 12:1-8, 11-14 The Catholic religion is a fulfillment of the religion of Israel. Jesus celebrated the Passover on the First Day of Unleavened Bread. What matters is what Jesus did during these days. The physical presence of Our Lord is physical. This physicality is passed on through Apostolic Succession. The priesthood is a chain of unworthy people touched by Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 We have to understand that Mass is older than the Scriptures. They were celebrating Mass 20 years before any of the scriptures were Written down. Mass is the mother of the Scriptures. “This idea of remembrance is a very Jewish idea.” John 13:1-15 (23:02) Break 1 (27:38) Letters: (28:22) - – I just want to remind you that we need to avoid theological road rage. When we meet someone who is a devout Catholic and is part one political party, we should ask, “why” instead of “how could you”. Listen, love God, and love your neighbor. (30:02) – I have been reading about different Christian views on the atonement. What does the Church teach on this? Send Fr. Simon a letter at simon@relevantradio.com (35:14) Break 2 Word of the Day: (36:44) “Passion" Phones: (37:56) Marie - I know of many Churches that will be having a Seder Meal. Should Catholics participate in this? (40:22) Claudia - Thank you Fr. Simon for being a priest! I pray for vocations to the priesthood every day. (41:43) Fran - My nephew was baptized, 'In the name of the Father, his son our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.' Is this valid? (45:13) Patrick - I feel the sign of peace is distracting at Mass. What do you think?

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nicaraguan government cancels Resurrection celebrations The Nicaraguan government is cancelling Resurrection week celebrations, and replacing them with their own events, reports International Christian Concern. Exiled Nicaraguan leader Felix Maradiaga explains that “The model that Sandinistas want to implement is very similar to that of China.”  The government “has a long history of trying to create a parallel church [and] of wanting to take possession of the symbols of faith.” Russians bombed Ukrainian city on Palm Sunday, kids' playground The Russian army bombed the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy on Palm Sunday, resulting in at least 34 citizens losing their lives, reports The Associated Press. Two children were among the dead. Last week, Russians bombed a children's playground in the city of Kryvyi Rih, killing twenty, nine of whom were children, reports the BBC. The United Nations calculates that over 12,600 Ukrainian civilians have been killed, and over 29,000 injured since the war started three years ago.  In addition, Reuters reports that Russia has dropped over 50,000 guided bombs on Ukraine since 2022. China has stopped exports of products for aerospace industry As the global trade war continues, China has stopped exporting certain products to America, including minerals and magnets used by the aerospace industry, automakers, aerospace manufacturers, and semiconductor companies. China's Ministry of Commerce has also issued regulations forbidding Chinese companies from doing business with a number of American companies. China's trade surplus with America jumped in March China's trade surplus exploded in March  — 12.4% year over year. China's trade surplus is the largest in the world, running around $1 trillion. Germany, Russia, and Saudi Arabia also lead the world in trade surpluses. China's surplus with the U.S. was up 4.5% in March, up 14% for India, up 11% for Africa, and up 17% for Vietnam.   The nation with the worst trade deficit is the United States -- running over $1.1 trillion, followed by the United Kingdom, India, France, and Turkey. Chinese students leaving U.S. universities Chinese students are leaving American universities. The official Chinese government's news service announced a 40% drop off of Chinese doctoral students at U.S colleges. Today, only 277,400 Chinese students are enrolled in U.S. higher education institutions which is down from 373,000 four years ago. Fewer Europeans traveling to United States Europeans are more reticent to travel to the United States. The numbers have dropped by 17% in March, year over year.  This represents the largest decline since the COVID-19 pandemic. More Gen Z men profess faith in Christ Here are more surprising numbers coming from the Barna Group. Since 2019, the percentage of Gen Z young men who profess to be committed to Jesus has increased by 19%.   Sadly, the metric is not improving for young women. Numbers remain “mostly flat in their commitment levels to Jesus.” Let's remember Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 16:22. “If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!” United Kingdom bill would curtail home schooling The U.K. House of Lords has scheduled a second reading for an education bill that is set to curtail homeschooling. The law would require homeschooling parents to submit an extensive curriculum plan, along with other stipulations. Gold up; Nasdaq and Bitcoin down Gold continues its rise. Remarkably, it's value is now $3,200 per ounce, an increase in value of 16% since January 1st.   The Nasdaq is down 12% since the start of the year, hovering around 17,000 points. Bitcoin is down 9% since January at $85,000 per bitcoin.  Jair Bolsonaro survived 12-hour surgery after assassination attempt By the mercies of God, Brazil's previous president, Jair Bolsonaro survived a 12-hour-long surgery. This is his fifth medical intervention after a stabbing attack in 2018. His wife, Michelle, took to Instagram to announce that “the surgery concluded with success. My heart overflows with gratefulness for each one of you who have been praying.”  Michele's Instagram account describes herself as a servant of the Lord.  She writes, “Honor, glory, strength, and power to King Jesus!” Trump's powerful Christian message during Holy Week And finally, in one of the most explicit Christian messages ever issued by a world leader in our day, President Donald Trump issued a tribute to the Christian “holy week” on his Truth Social account. He wrote, “This Holy Week, Christians around the world remember the crucifixion of God's only Begotten Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And, on Easter Sunday, we celebrate His glorious Resurrection and proclaim, as Christians have done for nearly 2,000 years, ‘HE IS RISEN!' “Through the pain and sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross, we saw God's boundless love and devotion to all humanity and, in that moment of His Resurrection, history was forever changed with the promise of Everlasting Life. … “I want to wish Christians everywhere a happy and very blessed holiday. America is a nation of believers. We need God, we want God and, with His help, we will make our nation stronger, safer, greater, more prosperous, and more united than ever before.” Psalm 72:10-11 speaks of the king's Son, who rules, and is to be praised by all nations. The Scripture declares, “The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba will offer gifts. Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him; All nations shall serve Him.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, April 15th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

In this episode of the Foundation Worldview Podcast, Elizabeth Urbanowicz reviews the recently released movie The King of Kings, a dramatized retelling of Jesus's life based on Charles Dickens' short story The Life of Our Lord. Elizabeth explores both the strengths and shortcomings of the film—from its engaging animation and gospel-centered focus to its theological omissions and historical inaccuracies. Most importantly, she equips parents with thoughtful discussion points to help children evaluate the movie through the lens of Scripture.

“And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.” — Leviticus 1:4 Our Lord's being made “sin for us” is set forth here by the very significant transfer of sin to the bullock, which was made by the elders of […]

Segment 1 • Animated movie produced by Joel Osteen raises concerns. • "King of Kings" draws from Charles Dickens' theology, which emphasizes works righteousness. • Christianity shouldn't be reduced to a to-do list, especially in media. Segment 2 • New film based on Charles Dickens' theology, produced by Joel Osteen. • Dickens was influenced by Unitarianism, rejecting the Doctrine of the Trinity and Original Sin. • "The Life of Our Lord" highlights Dickens' moralistic view, not the gospel of grace. Segment 3 • Which story is most agitating? ◦ A professor launches a course called "The Queer Bible." ◦ Euthanasia in the Netherlands on the rise. ◦ Persecution of Christians in Nigeria. ◦ Flu vaccine paradox: higher risk of flu among vaccinated. ◦ Leftists justifying violence against Trump. Segment 4 • More shocking stories from today's culture: ◦ Men competing in female sports tournaments. ◦ Liberal women disowning straight children. ◦ Australian Christians potentially jailed for praying for LGBT individuals. ◦ Scientific claims about animal communication showing signs of complex thought. ___ Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme ___ Thanks for listening!
