Still remember my Baltimore Catechism from 50 years ago: A sacrament is an outward sign, instituted by God, for the dispensation of His divine grace. Fr. Dominic's description was certainly more complete ... but the Baltimore catechism was pretty darn good.

The Catholic Church, so often accused of idolatry - just the opposite she gives us plenty of ways to fill our lives with a Jesus centered life.

It is deeply meaningful and a joy to start off my week with worshipping on my knees and coming in physical communion with my Lord each Mass.

Tantum ergo Sacramentum veneremur cernui

Is love a sacrament? "There is no greater love than that a man lay down his life for a friend."

What St. Thomas Aquinas speaks of Mary and the Rosary?

[lynneareckson]

JMJ+ Respectfully, I question the term, "Ascension Thursday." Where does it say HE Ascended into Heaven on Thursday? It says HE did this, that, and the other after HE first appeared to Mary Magdalene and many others for quite some a few days, and then, HE Ascended, but where is the day, date, and time specifically stated? Thank you. Been listening to these podcast for a long time and appreciate them.

Why catholic church an not eastern orthodox? What's the difference?

[scottknapp]

Worshipping God with material, sensate vehicles is the antithesis of faith. Paul wrote faith is the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things that are not revealed to the senses. In this video, we see the intellectual contortions required to justify existing church teachings that are logical contradictions.
