The Seventh Day

What does the creation story tell us about our relationship with God? Learn the symbolism of the seven days, the five realms and their rulers, and the darkness and light. On this second part of our series on damnation, Scott Hahn breaks down God’s covenant with our first parents. 

The Problem of Sin

What is sin? This episode of The Road to Emmaus begins an eight-part series on the history of damnation—but we can’t address damnation without also looking at salvation. We’ll start by looking at why sin makes us miss the mark, but how God’s grace is ultimately always available to us.  

Catholic Answers Focus - Do Catholics = Pharisees?

If anyone can be said to be the villain of the Gospels, it’s the Pharisees. Sometimes fellow Christians will label Catholics as Pharisees. So, who were they? Where did they come from? And what should we make of their interactions with Jesus?

Guided Prayer for Healing Memories - 2/5/20

Sometimes the pain doesn't go away. That inner heart pain. We see it in the eyes of others who carry regrets and disappointments and sorrow. Today is a guided meditation for healing memories with a practical process anyone can use to grow in serenity and peace.

The Quest for Rest

Do you ever feel guilty when you take some time to rest?  That, somehow, society has convinced you that rest is an indulgence you simply can’t afford.  In this go-go society of never ending to do lists, late night text messages from work, and trying to make partner, we are obsessed with the feeling that , “I should be doing something!” In this podcast Tony discusses the importance of rest.

Scripture: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” –Matthew 11:28-30

“On the seventh day God completed the work he had been doing; he rested on the seventh day from all the work he had undertaken.  God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work he had done in creation.”  –Genesis 2:2-3

“Return, my soul, to your rest; the LORD has been very good to you.” –Psalm 116:7

Reflections: What do you do to insure you get some rest? Do you ever feel guilty for downtime? Are you getting enough sleep?
