Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time REFLECTIONS By Bishop Christian The parable that Jesus taught about the rich fool clearly teaches us the danger of greed.

One must understand that the end of this life is unpredictable. The kingdom of God will be eternal. A wise person, therefore, will become rich in what matters to God.

For the disciple of Jesus, then, one issue seems to be how to cultivate an attitude toward money as a means and not as an end.

5 Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time REFLECTIONS By Bishop Christian The parable that Jesus taught about the rich fool clearly teaches us the danger of greed. The rich man makes provisions for a self-centered life of pleasure. God, however, demands his soul just as he is beginning to carry out his plan. One must understand that the end of this life is unpredictable. The kingdom of God will be eternal. A wise person, therefore, will become rich in what matters to God. Jesus is not condemning possessions and prudent planning as such but wants the kingdom of God to have priority in a person s life. For the disciple of Jesus, then, one issue seems to be how to cultivate an attitude toward money as a means and not as an end. People on the way to holiness seem to have a healthy attitude about money, dealing with it in a balanced way. Some people I ve talked to explain what they do. Tithing seems to be a frequent way of maintaining some sort of balance ten percent off the top of one s income. People who tithe seem to remember the poor in more than a token way. Some people say they don t use credit cards precisely to keep them from spending sprees. Others spoke to the question of owning stocks. Some refuse to do so simply because they know it would become one more anxiety in their life. A middle-aged priest said that at the end of every calendar year he emptied his checking and savings accounts. He said he thought it good to begin each year at zero. Now, as a priest, he has pretty good job security, but it is still a decision full of faith on his part. Another person said he had decided what a responsible amount of savings would be for retirement and other needs. Everything over and above he gives away. Someone else decided to live by needs rather than by wants and tried to be attentive to her inclination to shift items from the latter category to the former. In mentioning these things, I am not recommending any of them. Certainly, for most people there is nothing wrong with credit cards or stocks. These are simply examples of what some people have decided to do to put the kingdom first. It doesn t really matter how we keep a balance about money or how we make sure we use money wisely as disciples. What matters is that we do so, if for no other reason than to make sure that we care for the weakest among us, and to make sure we keep trust in our God and not in ourselves.

6 Lenten CD s 2019 Searching the Scriptures: The Gospel of John STEPHEN RAY Join biblical expert and Catholic apologist Stephen Ray on a personal pilgrimage through the pages of St. John's Gospel. Stephen draws from his extensive scholarship and his time spent in the Holy Land filming documentaries to bring forth many of the profound theological truths that lie beneath the surface of this gospel, and bring to light the many levels of revelation contained within. This exciting presentation will ignite your heart and soul with a burning passion for Christ and a deep conviction to zealously defend the Faith which has been handed down to us. Has the Sexual Revolution Been Good For Women? MARY EBERSTADT Both secular and religious observers agree that the sexual revolution has caused seismic changes for society across the globe. Mary Eberstadt, a secularly-trained writer who has written for Time Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, and the LA Times, among other publications, uses her training as a professional researcher to objectively assess whether or not the severing of sex and procreation has delivered on its promise to liberate Could God Love Someone Like Me? FR. MICHAEL SCHMITZ Fr. Mike Schmitz, one of the leading presenters in the Church today, speaks powerfully about the Sacrament of Reconciliation. He makes clear the truth that Christ deeply loves and wants to encounter each of us as we are, with all our imperfections. Fr. Mike debunks the lies we often believe about not being good enough to approach Jesus, and he draws upon Scripture to explain rationally why we go to priests to encounter God s mercy and forgiveness in Confession. From White Supremacist to Catholic Writer JOSEPH PEARCE Joseph Pearce, an accomplished writer best known for his literary biographies, tells of his own conversion from disillusioned, hate-filled young man to committed follower of Christ. Here he presents his early life, which included a stint in a skinhead band, white supremacist activity, violent demonstrations, and time spent in prison, and how he eventually embraced God s grace and mercy. Joseph is one of the most prolific Catholic authors of our time and now serves as senior editor for the Augustine Institute. The Treasure of Our Soul: The Apostles Creed DR. SCOTT HAHN Dr. Scott Hahn, internationally known theologian and author, explains the inestimable value of the Creed as a sure means of communicating the life-giving faith of the Apostles and as an indispensable source of unity for the Church. Dr. Hahn also brings to light how the Creed has served as a time-tested wellspring of meditation by which a believer can deepen his or her relationship with Christ, making it, in the words of St. Ambrose, the treasure of our soul.

7 The Incredible Mind of G.K. Chesterton DALE AHLQUIST Dale Ahlquist, founder of the American Chesterton Society, masterfully presents the genius of Catholic convert and 20th century literary giant G.K. Chesterton. He shares how this King of Satire predicted many of the societal ills of our day and pointed out the remedies for them. Discover the wisdom of this literary critic, playwright, novelist, Catholic theologian, and apologist. My Beloved Son: Meditations for Lent BISHOP ROBERT BARRON Bishop Robert Barron offers five sermons on the spiritual discipline we must cultivate in the Lenten season, a discipline centered in Christ. These meditations cover topics such as finding our identity in God, prayer as the key to mission, our thirst for God, how to end our alienation from God, and how to joyfully embrace the way of happiness. The Resurrection of Jesus: Fact or Fiction? DR. STEVEN SMITH Come to grips with what really happened to Jesus as Dr. Steven Smith explores Resurrection narratives from the vantage point of each of the four Gospels as well as many of the vital medical details of Roman crucifixion. What's So Great About Being Catholic? JASON EVERT There s ultimately only one reason to be Catholic: because it s true. In this outstanding presentation, Jason Evert shows us the beauty and the treasures of the Faith, as revealed through the Saints and Sacraments. Winning the Culture War DR. PETER KREEFT To win any war, there are three things that you must know: that you are at war, who your enemy is, and what weapons or strategies can defeat him. Acknowledging that our culture is clearly in crisis, Dr. Peter Kreeft shows us that the only weapon strong enough to defeat the demons of this age is saints. Above all, Dr. Kreeft assures us that victory is assured for those who hope in Christ, because good always triumphs over evil. Answering Atheism KEN HENSLEY How can we evangelize an unbelieving world? In this talk, Ken Hensley uses simple, effective logic to show how the atheistic worldview inevitably leads to contradictions that can t hold up to sound reasoning. After hearing this talk, you will be empowered to conclusively demonstrate how unbelief leads to the destruction of morality, meaning, and even knowledge. Who Do You Say That I Am? BISHOP ROBERT BARRON Fr. Barron illuminates with conviction that Jesus of Nazareth is the promised Messiah and revelation of God become man. He shows how Jesus fulfills the four tasks of the Messiah according to the Old and New Testaments and how the living legacy of Christ is proclaimed by the Church.
