Listen to the Gospel for this week, and learn about the text!
This Sunday at mass you are going to arrive already knowing what the Gospel reading is!
We have no shortage of miracle stories which are unexplainable by science. In fact, the Catholic Church has one of the most rigorous processes for verifying miracles.

Reading and commenting on a section from The Immitation of Christ by Thomas A. Kempis. God bless you!
