The news in and around the Archdiocese of Cincinnati has not been the best over the last few weeks. And it can shake your faith to the core. What do we do when we don’t know what to do?

My homily, as delivered at St. John Neumann this weekend.

The last part of the Catechism reflects beautifully on the Our Father, and I offer some thoughts as well.

And then some!

My homily for the 17th Sunday in OT begins at 1:48, after a short intro.

Deacon John Corson’s homily for the 15th Sunday in OT, the parable of the Good Samaritan, begins at 10:26.

And I add a few remarks about Abraham ‘negotiating’ with God at 23:25 and following.

Have a great week, everyone!

Deacon Pat Palumbo continued the sessions on prayer, looking at the Catechism on the Life of Prayer and the Battle of Prayer. Next week, we will look at the Our Father from the Catechism as a summation of the Gospel and a model of prayer to God the Father in Christ the Son.

Deacon Pat Palumbo leads us further through a discussion on prayer in the Catechism and bounces through prayers in the Scriptures, as well!

During July, we are looking at Prayer, specifically part 4 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church on Prayer.

We also did a practice of Lectio Divina, more information on how to pray in this way can be found here.

If you have questions for upcoming episodes on prayer, please let me know either through the combox below or on a social media platform.

The Temple of Jerusalem is important in the narrative of St. Luke’s account of the Gospel, but it is made of human hands versus the Temple of Heaven made by Jesus.
