  • Eucharist- In My Weakness I Find God's power

    Eucharist- In My Weakness I Find God's power
    Aug 24 2024
    The Eucharist and the power of God. "Therefore, that I might not become too elated, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, an angel of Satan, to beat me, to keep me from being too elated.Three times I begged the Lord about this, that it might leave me, but he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me. Therefore, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and constraints, for the sake of Christ: for when I am weak, then I am strong." 2 Cor. 12:9. Power in our weakness, John 6, this week on OVC.

  • Why Is God Hidden?

    Why Is God Hidden?
    Aug 2 2024
    We are saved by faith, not by sight. Sin disintegrates the human integration of body and soul. Sin teaches us to love the corruption of evil instead of the holiness of God. The Eucharist is the remedy for our sin sick souls. More this week on OVC.

  • Communion On The Tongue Or In The Hand?

    Communion On The Tongue Or In The Hand?
    Jul 27 2024
    This weeks Gospel from John 6 tells the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 in the desert. It is the beginning on Jesus' discourse on the Eucharist. "Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you." John 6:53. Catholics understand that Christ is substantially present, body, soul, divinity in the Eucharist - we call this the real presence. Why do we differ, however, about receiving in the hand or on the tongue? Lots to talk about there in this weeks OVC.

  • A Spiritual Life Tethered To Reality

    A Spiritual Life Tethered To Reality
    Jul 12 2024
    In the Gospel from Mark 6, Jesus sends out the twelve apostles with authority over demons, to anoint with oil to cure the sick and the power to preach the good news, "Repent." In short, go beyond your mind (metanoia) and change how you think. We tether our spiritual life to reality when we meditate on the circumstances of our upcoming death and what it says about our life in the here and now. Take courage and follow 'the Way.'
