“Jesus Is Risen! Now What?”
by Fr. Dominic DeLay, O.P.

Jesus is risen! Now what? Chocolate? That’s a great start, but it’s hard sometimes to bite into and taste the real meaning of Easter for our lives, isn’t it?

“When I Get Grown”
by Fr. Dominic DeLay, O.P.

This is crazy talk from Jesus. I mean he started this pipedream sermon on the mountain with “blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you.” Then he compared anger with killing.

Did Fr. Dominic pique your interest in the short films he preached about on Sunday?

“Come, Follow Me”
by Fr. Dominic DeLay, O.P.

Are you jealous of these two sets of brothers’ immediate and total commitment to follow Jesus? Maybe at the same time wondering at their foolishness? Do they even know this guy?
