Aflame for Christ

Aflame 96 - A True Friend of Jesus

Every good story features a sidekick. And the great story of salvation history, with its Protagonist of Jesus Christ, invites us to be His friends. But what does a human friendship consist in - and how does it relate to our friendship with Jesus? How do we distinguish a real friendship from a counterfeit one? Let us seek to be friends, not just slaves, of Jesus Christ!

Dash Through the Creed 5 - The Incarnation

The very crux of human history is when God became man. We hear it so much that we often lose the awe at this mystery - God is one of us! Tune in to hear how we can understand the Incarnation in a deeper way.

Dash Through the Creed 4 - Creation

Our creed states that we believe God is "creator of heaven and earth". What happened at creation? How does it show God? Can we believe in a Creator and also believe in evolution? How does the Bible reveal creation? Tune in to find out!

Aflame 95 - The Death of a Shepherd Is Life for the Sheep

There is a huge difference between a leader and a boss. Bosses look to reward themselves; leaders seek the benefit of others. Leaders set a vision which leads to the flourishing of those entrusted to their care; bosses rely on titles and honors. Jesus Christ shows us the pinnacle of leadership, and many of His saints such as St. Padre Pio are also examples of how a shepherd is called to lay down his life for the sheep!

Dash Through the Creed 3 - The Trinity

The Trinity is the greatest mystery of our Faith - but that doesn't mean we don't know anything about it! How do we get a glimpse at understanding how three Persons can be in one God? Tune in for the third installment of the Dash Through the Creed series!

Aflame 94 - Not Seeing Is Believing

Much of our faith is invisible - the soul, Heaven, the power of the Sacraments. Our Catholic faith must be grounded in something more solid than what we feel and sense. Even if we don't actually experience God, we believe the testimony of those who saw the Risen Christ, who were willing to die testifying that He is alive. This gives us strength to believe them, and to believe all that the Apostles taught, even if we do not see it with our eyes!

Dash Through the Creed 2 - Existence of God

How do we know that God exists? There are good reasons for believing it! Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph discuss the existence of God - how do we know that He exists?

Aflame 93 - The Door of Mercy

Christ invites us to approach His Heart, and the door of access to Him is His mercy. He purchased that most precious treasure at the cost of His blood, but now gives it to us freely through the Church: the Feast of Mercy, the Divine Mercy Image, and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Let us turn to His mercy now, for the door of mercy is closing quickly before the day of judgment arrives!
