Steve Ray takes us down the Road to Damascus to celebrate the Feast of the Conversion of St Paul and we unpack the Sunday readings with Rob Corzine and discuss why it was so scandalous when Jesus declared the Scriptures had been fulfilled.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 1:40-45 - A leper came to Him and kneeling down begged Him and said, “If You wish, You can make me clean.” Moved with pity, He stretched out His Hand, touched the leper, and said to him, “I do will it. Be made clean.” The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean. Then, warning him sternly, He dismissed him at once. Then He said to him, “See that you tell no one anything, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them.” The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter. He spread the report abroad so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly. He remained outside in deserted places, and people kept coming to Him from everywhere. Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Steve Ray joins Terry to discuss the Four Last Things and Purgatory
