Aflame for Christ

Aflame 100 - The Prison of the Holy God!

It is thanks to Pope St. Pius X that children receive Holy Communion at the tender age of seven - but he was inspired to make it so young through the example of a four-year-old girl named Nellie Organ, whose faith in "the Holy God" in the Eucharist brought so many others to a deeper relationship with Christ's living presence in Holy Communion!

Dash Through the Creed 8 -The Church, Part 1

Today we examine our Catholic Church. Did Jesus intend for there to be a Church? How can we know that the Church is the true church founded by Jesus Christ? Tune in as we begin to answer all your questions about Catholicism!

Aflame 99 - Prayer Is the Heartbeat of the Church

The Holy Spirit wants to shower many gifts upon His Church: courage for those persecuted, powerful words and deeds from preachers of the Gospel, acts of charity and self-sacrifice, a deep desire for holiness. But all of these spiritual gifts flow from the fount: an intimate union with Jesus Christ in prayer. Prayer is the heartbeat that moves graces throughout the Body of Christ. How does the Spirit help us to pray?

Dash Through the Creed 1 - Is It Reasonable to Believe?

Starting off our "Dash Through the Creed" series, Fr. Joseph discusses the first two words of the Creed: "I Believe"!

Dash Through the Creed 7 - Mary

No topic in the Church is as misunderstood as Mary. Do Catholics worship Mary? Doesn't the Rosary disobey Jesus' teachings to "not babble on" while praying? Is Mary's Immaculate Conception about when Jesus was conceived? Tune in to hear all about Mary!

Aflame 98 - That They All May Be One

Jesus' last prayer was "that Christians may all be one" - united in spirit. But sadly we see so much division among those who profess His Name. But unity matters, as it is a powerful witness to the world, and unity must be based upon the Eucharist, the teachings of Christ, and union with His visible head, the Pope. We have no fear in proclaiming that Christ desires all men to be visibly united in the welcoming, embracing, healing arms of His Catholic Church!

Dash Through the Creed 6 - Cross and Resurrection

We know that Jesus came to save us by dying on the Cross, but how does that work? Why was it required that someone needed to die for our sins? And - is the Resurrection a real historical event? Tune in to learn more about this pivotal moment in human history - the Paschal Mystery!

Aflame 97 - Look Up

It's so easy to look down, at this passing world, and think this is all there is. But when Christ ascends to Heaven, He urges us to "look up" and see that our destiny lies with Him in glory!
