 Friends,   Today we discuss hardships in discipleship, and the readings for the 5th Sunday of Easter.   God bless!

Friends, Happy Divine Mercy Sunday and Happy Easter!

Friends, Happy Easter!

Friends, today we have reflections for Palm Sunday-a beautiful liturgy that captures so much.

Reflections for the 5th Sunday of Lent. As we enter into Passiontide, may we reflect more on our sinfulness and God's extending of mercy and love.

Reflections for the 4th Sunday of Lent-The Parable of the Prodigal Son.  How do we see reconciliation lived out in our lives and in the lives of faith, and what can Jewish lenses tell us about this parable?

Why are there so many rules?  Why work so hard to live a moral life?  Here, we explore Jesus' parable of the gardener pruning the fig tree that hasn't produced fruit.   God bless,   THT

The Transfiguration is a strange Biblical Story for we moderns.  But what if we view it through the lenses of a first century Jew?  

Why do Catholics give up stuff for Lent?  How do we go about making these decisions?  How best do we discern? This and more in the reflections for the 8th Sunday in Ordinary Time.   Have a great start to Lent!   THT

Dominus Vobiscum!   Today, we reflect on the mass readings for the 7th Sunday in Ordinary time, and about the measure with which we measure.  Enjoy!   God bless,   THT

Dominus Vobiscum, Amigos! This is the first of many Catholic Book Reviews.  Spiritual reading was a big part of my growth and discovery in the faith-I hope it is for you, too.   Today is Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narrative by Pope Benedict XVI.  It's a wonderful book about the coming of Jesus and the early part of his life. Enjoy!   Pax, The Heavenly Toast theheavenlytoast.com

Dominus Vobiscum Amigos!   Today we have a (late) reflection on the Epiphany.  Soon, I will start uploading some book reviews.  Good stuff incoming!   Pax,   The Heavenly Toast theheavenlytoast.com

Dominus Vobiscum, Amigos!   Today we have a reflection on the Holy Family, and how our own family lives have changed.  How can we learn from one another, and how can we make family life better as we move into 2019?   May God bless you abundantly in the coming year, and may His blessings remain with you forever.

Hi Friends,   In this episode, I discuss my story with the Catholic faith, to give you a little bit better idea of the vantage point that I  come from, what things were difficult for me, and how I came to believe the Catholic faith and make this podcast.   Pax,   The Heavenly Toast theheavenlytoast.com

Hello all!     In this introductory episode, I explain the reason for being for this podcast, and cast the vision for what I would like to talk about.  There is beauty and integrity in Catholicism.   Thank you for joining me on this adventure. God bless!   theheavenlytoast.com
