In this week's episode, Charbel sits down with Sr Mother Corazon J Salazar and Sr. Gliceria Cruz from Mary Queen of Heaven Missionaries. The Mary Queen of Heaven Missionaries was established to address the cruelest result of impoverishment in the Philippines. Young girls being forced into the sex trafficking trade due to poverty.

Dr. Alan Kurschner explained Jesus's reply to his disciples's question about the sign to his Second Parousia (i.e. coming) and the end of the age. Jesus warned that there would be false signs from false messianic claimants. Jesus—the Son of Man—described that his return will be unmistakable and universal, using poignant imagery and a proverb. In essence, Jesus was teaching that the sign would be himself in all his radiant and brilliant glory. The sign would be situated by the backdrop of the celestial disturbances darkening the luminaries to accentuate the glorious return. I concluded with a couple of contrasts that the second coming will have with the first coming. Listen to find out what those will be!     https://www.alankurschner.com/partner/

The Parousia is often understood as referring to Jesus' "second coming," but it actually designates Jesus' one appearing - His presence in the world - that occurred with the incarnation, continues through the present age, and will be consummated when He is openly and bodily revealed at the last day. This reality of Jesus' abiding presence as Lord over all has profound impact on the nature and orientation of Christian hope and how Christ's people perceive and carry out their mission in the world.

In this episode, Charbel sits down with Dr Robert Haddad as they discuss the presence of God among us through the Eucharist. His new book "We Have Seen His Glory” dives into how God has always dwelt among his people. Over the millennia he has walked and talked among us, appearing as cloud, fire, wind or dove. Today, God is among us in even more proximate and intimate ways. These more intimate ways began when the “Word became flesh”, appearing in a manner that was now visible to “all flesh.” As Jesus Christ, God walked among us and all “saw his glory” in and among the most humble and exalted places.

The New Testament writings speak to the internal life of the Christian community and its mission in the world, but another crucial aspect of the Christian life and testimony is enduring, manifest hope. Few would deny that hope is an important Christian virtue, but many fail to understand the concept of hope according to its biblical meaning and orientation. This message examines that topic and considers the doctrine of the Parousia as the immediate object of the Christian's hope.

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 9. Many Bible commentators claim that Matthew 24—Jesus' Olivet Discourse—should be divided between verses that apply to events in AD70 and verses that apply to the distant future. Gary puts this popular hermeneutic under the exegetical microscope to see if it stands up under scrutiny.

God clearly condemns the use of any 'graven images', and yet Catholic churches, claiming to follow the will of God, are packed with statuary from the nave to the altar. Is there a difference between the idols of pagan rites and statues of Catholic religion? Do Catholics really worship or pray to them? Raymond De Souza journeys through the biblical foundations of statues in Hebrew and Catholic worship, from the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament to the will of Christ in the New Testament, conveyed to us through His Church.

In this difficult section, Jesus clarifies two separate ends: the end of the Jewish temple (to be replaced by the church) and the end of time (to be replaced by the Kingdom).

Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers discusses what it means to be a Catholic man in today's society by exploring how contemporary culture speaks to men about truth, faith, and the meaning of life. Men who live their faith in fidelity to God's holy will become free to love and more open to receive the gift of grace in response to the Lord's call to “be perfect as the Heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48). Deacon Harold shows how an authentic, Christ-centred male spirituality fosters and nurtures growth in holiness, encourages men to become defenders of the culture of life, and inspires men to become loving servants of their wives, families, and the Church.

Whose all-time favorite NT epistle is Second Peter? Yeah, I thought so, i.e., nobody's. Terse yet wordy, full of highly developed doctrine yet also threats of judgment, and most likely pseudepigraphal, it's a tough nut to crack. In this episode, Dad and I haul out our exegetical nutcrackers and extract the sweetmeat (to push an already overstrained metaphor too far—though you gotta admit, it fits with Second Peter's prose style), which, oddly enough, proves to be the Parousia of Christ and God's astounding patience, desiring that all, yes all, come to repentance.
