This Sunday’s gospel shows us Jesus casting out a demon.Some people, even clergy, have recently claimed that all this demon talk is just the way that pre-scientific people explained mental illnesses that they did not yet understand.
So what’s the Church say about this interpretation?
Just imagine seeing Mount Zion with your very own eyes, floating in the Dead Sea and the Easter Season in the very Footsteps of Christ. Cast your nets in the SAME waters as the Disciples!!

When Life Doesn't Go Your Way Most women have a mental "script" or plan for their lives. And, of course, that script has a happy ending. However, that's not always what happens. When we are faced with a change in the script-whether that be a loss of a loved one, a dream, our health, or some other tragic event-how do we respond in faith? Through personal stories, anecdotes, witnesses, and Scripture, Zeno invites women to recognize God's goodness, presence, and action in their lives.

We have assembled on this website Catholic resources to help all Christians unpack the precious gift of the Eucharist. Our resources are delivered via audio, video, written, and electronic formats as well as through live seminars. They are appropriate for individual and group study, adult faith formation, RCIA, home schooling and teen religious education covering as they do the Eucharist, the theology of the body to Catholic Bible Study, the sacrament of confirmation and the Early Church Fathers. There are many wonderful Catholic websites out there. We believe that this site is distinctive both because of a unique collection of resources in our on-line Catholic store, and because the entire site is so user-friendly, with easy navigation, a fast search function, and many PDF files ready to download, print and use as religious education handouts. So browse, enjoy and sign up for our weekly e-mail that links to a punchy, real-life commentary on the Sunday readings plus links to the newest Catholic resources on our site. Visit often!
