Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life! This podcast shares my own reflections on the Word of God in light of the rich teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church.
God made us for Heaven. We can get there with his grace. We know many of the church's teachings about heaven. In this series of homilies we want to consider what these teachings might look like. In this second homily, we consider:Â

Will there be scars in Heaven?
What will it be like to see an enemy in Heaven?
