76 - How Jesus' Humanity Works07 Jul 202400:26:23

Did Jesus always know that he was God, or did he acquire that knowledge at some point during his childhood or adolescence? Were there things that Jesus didn't know when he was on earth? Did he know what was going to happen in the future? Was Jesus ever tempted to sin, or to despair?

In this episode, we discuss the incredible mystery of the hypostatic union: Jesus as fully God and fully human.

34 - The Second and Third Commandments04 Sep 202200:25:51

"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain."

"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work."

Why is it so bad to take God's name in vain? Why do I have to go to Mass every Sunday? How late is too late to rock up to Mass? Can I go to work on Sundays?

In this episode we discuss the second and third Commandments.

This episode covers Part Three, Section Two, Chapter One, Articles Two and Three of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (pts 2142 -2195).

The ten holy days of obligation: (NOTE: These are technically the holy days of obligation, but not every country enforces all of them. You can read more about it here.)

  1. the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ (Christmas),
  2. the Epiphany,
  3. the Ascension of Christ,
  4. the feast of the Body and Blood of Christi,
  5. the feast of Mary the Mother of God,
  6. her Immaculate Conception,
  7. her Assumption,
  8. the feast of Saint Joseph,
  9. the feast of the Apostles Saints Peter and Paul

33 - The First Commandment21 Aug 202200:31:32

"I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth.”

What does it mean to love and serve God? What counts as 'other gods'? Are images of Jesus, Mary, and the saints graven images?

In this episode we discuss the first of the Ten Commandments.

This episode covers Part Three, Section Two, Chapter One, Article One of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (pts 2056 -2141).

75 - Eucharistic Miracles16 Jun 202400:25:31

Every. Single. Mass. Is a miracle. Eucharistic miracles remind us of that fact.

In this episode, we discuss four amazing incidents, three of which occurred in the last thirty years. In each of these miracles, a communion host transformed into human tissue: specifically, into tissue taken from a living human heart that was in agony. Each of these miraculous hosts has been rigorously scientifically tested, often by scientists who had no idea where the samples they were testing had come from. These stories remind us of the loving and true presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.
