Today we celebrate St. Epiphanius, Bishop of Cyprus. St. Epiphanius was a Jew by birth, but converted along with his sister Callithrope.

Today is our audio engineer, Steve's, birthday! Let us pray that he continues to be a great husband and father.

Yesterday we celebrated Thomas Sunday, where St. Thomas is able to put his hands in the nail wounds of Jesus and in His side.

Christ is risen from the dead!

by death he trampled Death;

and to those in the tombs He granted life.

Yesterday we heard about the anointing of Jesus' feet with costly nard. I (Beth) often think about the immense love Mary must have had for Jesus to do such a public act with such an incredibly expensive item.

Sunday's Gospel features one of my (Beth) favorite lines in Scripture. “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

Yesterday's Gospel reading features the healing of the paralytic. St. Mark writes that there were so many people crowded around Jesus to hear Him preach. So many people were crowded in a house, in all the rooms, in the hallway, out into the front door, out to the corridor surrounding the house. So many people that the paralytic man had to be lowered THROUGH THE ROOF! in order for Jesus to see him.

The Gospel reading from yesterday was Nathanael's and Jesus' encounter with each other, when Jesus tells Nathanael that He saw him under the fig tree.
