Living Divine Mercy
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” (Mt. 5:7) On the Second Sunday of Easter the Church celebrates Divine Mercy Sunday, a feast our Lord specifically asked for in a series of revelations to St. Faustina which was instituted by St. John Paul II in the year 2000. Every year this Feast, as well as the whole Octave of Easter, highlights God’s great mercy and love for us. But what exactly is Divine Mercy? And how does it (or should it) change my life? Br. Peter speaks at Voces about the importance of the Divine Mercy message revealed by Jesus to Saint Faustina, its urgency, and need, especially in our modern day and age. |

“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” ( Luke 10:2). Each one of us is called by God to a specific state of life, that is, a specific vocation. But this calling is not only for us, it is for the building up of the Church. Fr. Mariano Ruiz explains at Voces how it is under this light we can best ask ourselves what we are doing to help vocations and why it is also the best way to discern our own.
Fr. Christopher explores some of the issues in how we are approaching COVID19 presents on how Catholics can view this new reality in light of Catholic Social Doctrine.

When faced with different choices, challenges, and situations, what are the values I can apply? We have two choices: to follow the spirit of the world, or the spirit of the Gospel. To do so, we must follow the command of Christ: Jesus then said to those Jews who believed in Him: “If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (Jn. 8:31-31)

Getting the Incarnation Right

This talk helps us "rightly" understand the Incarnation and how we need to "get real" with what we profess it to be. Listen to more to unpack the Catholic truths that Fr. Thomas Joseph White, O.P. presents to us in The Light of Christ.

A Biblical Approach to Generosity
Catholic Anthropology and Sin
**Clarification from Fr. Christopher!**
Around the 4:00 minute mark of the first video, I spoke about how we must understand the Book of Genesis when we read it. It was never my intention to place in doubt the historical character of the book and what it reveals to us. I firmly hold the belief that the Magisterium teaches us. Here's a resource to help: *Scroll down to the title "The Historical Character of the Earlier Chapters of Genesis"

Imago Dei
2.9.19 - Called to be the "image of God", we need to actively know Him and love Him. Our creation in God's image is not a static reality, but one that beckons us to live it fully through our knowledge and will. Listen to more to unpack the truths that Fr. Thomas Joseph White, O.P. presents to us in The Light of Christ.
