Some folks may think that the various Feasts of the Church are somewhat randomly arranged throughout the liturgical year. But, they would be wrong. There is a beautiful thematic connectivity running through every feast the Church celebrates that affords even more meaning to them once you are aware.Deacon Jeff Drzycimski

As the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity and unfolds for us this great mystery, we see that the love of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is the source and model for all love, and especially the love of man and wife in Holy Matrimony.Deacon Jeff Drzycimski

The Easter Season is still upon us and the Church calls us to celebrate the Ascension of the Lord.

As a continuation of our show last week, we delve a little further into what to do and what not to do when the ones we care about stop caring about God.Deacon Jeff Drzycimski

The Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus was started by a lesser-known Carmelite nun from the middle of the nineteenth century. It is Church-approved and based on her private revelations. With a focus on the evils of Communism and atheism, it is especially relevant even in our world today.Deacon Jeff Drzycimski

When all the Easter candy and decorations are cleared out of stores, many think Easter is over. But, that is not true for the Church. In much the same way we prepare for Easter through the season of Lent, it is appropriate that we realize and take the time to celebrate the entire season of Easter afforded us by the Church.…

When we read about Jesus cleansing the Temple of moneychangers we can see how the Lord desires the Church to be first a house of worship. But we also read in Scripture that our bodies are temples as well, temples of the Holy Spirit. So we need to periodically cleanse our own temples to properly prepare ourselves for worship of the Lord.…

Some wonder what role temptation plays in the story of salvation and why the First Sunday of Lent focuses us on the Temptation of Jesus in the Desert.

Some have declared that how we worship is not so very important, and that apparent extravagance is a misplaced distraction from the truth of the Gospel message.

Time flies and it is already time to be thinking about the season of Lent and how we can best prepare ourselves for the Easter Mysteries. Making our Lent matter more will enhance our Easter experience. So, prepping for Lent is the key to a Happy Easter.Deacon Jeff Drzycimski

For some, there is an apparent contradiction between the Catholic concepts of dying to self and self esteem. Many think it impossible that both can be true goals at once.

Many people feel that God has not spoken to them or called them in any way. They see God as silent in their lives.

As another presidential election season looms over the nation, there is a resurgence of calls for accountability of especially Catholic politicians who do not legislate according to moral principles in line with Church teaching.
