THE EUCHARIST

The story of Saint Maria Goretti

Ode to Saint Cecilia tells the dramatic story of a modest young woman from Rome whose life was transcended time to influence poets, com-posers, sculptors, and painters.

Presence: What is it that is so special about the Eucharist?

True Worship: deeper and more profound expe-rience of the Mass.

Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist: Dr. Pitre gives us a powerful lens through which to see anew the bread of the presence, the manna, the Last Supper, and ultimately the meaning of the Eucharist.

Brother Francis: The Bread of Life: This episode contains: "The Last Supper"—animated presentation of Je-

sus instituting the Blessed Sacrament "The Story of Blessed Imelda Lambertini"—the

Patroness of First Communicants "I am the Bread of Life" and "What More Can He

Give"—two visualized songs Answering Common Objections: As a former

Protestant minister, Dr. Scott Hahn knows all too well the disputes between Catholic and non-Catholic Christians.

The Eucharist for little Children: This video is a wonderful way to prepare your children for their first Holy Communion, as well as give them a better understanding of the Mass.

TALKS FOR YOUR COMMUTE

From Love, By Love, For Love: A Deeper Under-standing of Sex, Same-Sex Attraction, and Authen-tic Love

Fan or Follower? Your Relationship with Jesus.In this talk, Jeff Cavins shares how he has come to see that Jesus wants us to surrender every bit of our own comfort to follow Him. There are many fans of Jesus in this world, but we are also called to be His disciples.

How to Apply Our Faith to Our Families: how to apply the truths of our Faith to everyday life.

Parenting for Purity: Do you want to be the #1 influence on your teen's behavior in the area of sexual morality?

Can you trust God? Since the fall of our first parents, humanity has been tempted to mistrust God the Father's love for us.

Being All In: From the NFL Playing Filed to the Mission Field. Eric Mahl grew up in the small town of Monroe-ville, Ohio, where he was a standout athlete. He earned a scholarship to play division one foot-ball at Kent State University and, in 2005, was signed by the Cleveland Browns.

Understanding Luther: A Catholic perspective on the Protestant Reformation.

Praying the Rosary like never before: Pope St. John Paul II's practical strategies for praying the Rosary better so you can encounter Jesus more deeply in prayer.


Romans 8:1-11

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and to deal with sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, so that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For this reason the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not sub-mit to God’s law indeed it cannot, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you.

Matthew 12:14-21

The Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him. When Jesus became aware of this, he departed. Many crowds followed him, and he cured all of them, and he ordered them not to make him known. This was to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah: ‘Here is my serv-ant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. He will not wrangle or cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets. He will not break a bruised reed or quench a smoldering wick until he brings justice to victory. And in his name the Gentiles will hope.’
