What is truth? Is there any? How would we know if there were? Is there religious truth?

How do we know that God exists? What role does reason play in discovering this truth? What role does faith play in expanding on this truth? What is the relationship of faith to reason?

We hear all the time that happiness is different for everyone, pretty much whatever anyone wants it to be. You’d think, then, that nearly everyone would be happy. But they aren’t. So maybe happiness is a lot harder than we’re being told and maybe it requires moral virtue. But then there’s that troubling question of suffering, especially concerning good people. Is virtue required or is it all a matter of luck?  

Sometimes God gets angry. And maybe we deserve it! But God is also love. So how can God love me in spite of my faults? How is forgiveness of sins even possible? Listen this week as we explore the mystery of salvation. 

What is the Faith really for? What is God up to? We suffer immensely in this troubled world, but St. Paul says that those sufferings cannot even compare to what God actually has in store for us! Join us this week as we explore the astonishing impact of omnipotent love.

The greatest commandment is to love God with all of ourselves. So, who is God? What is he like? Why is his being a trinity so crucially important? And how do we love him? Join us this week as we explore the nature of the Godhead and its role as the pattern for all human community.

St. Athanasius said that God became man that man might become God. Jesus is the son both of God and of man. This unity of God and man becomes the pattern and purpose for all of the sacraments. Join us this week as we explore the significance of the Incarnation.

Every week at Mass we conclude with the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel, asking for his protection from the wickedness and snares of the devil. The history of the Church is dotted with angelic and demonic manifestations, not to mention the paranormal ghostly apparitions that we frequently hear about nowadays. What does this all mean? Are these beings even real? If they are, should we be afraid of them? Join us this week as we investigate the angels, demons, and ghosts.
