The Presentation of Mary: The True Ark of the Covenant
Nov 26, 2025​
​
In this powerful homily, we explore the profound mystery of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Temple and its connection to the Ark of the Covenant, the indwelling presence of God, and the vocation of consecrated life. Drawing from Scripture, Old Testament symbolism, the teaching of St. Louis de Montfort, and insights from Venerable Mary of Ágreda, this sermon reveals how Mary is not only the New Ark of the Covenant, but also the first consecrated virgin, a model for all who desire to give themselves entirely to God. You’ll hear rich reflections on: • The divine instructions for constructing the Ark • How the Ark foreshadows Christ and His Mother • Mary's childhood consecration and unwavering dedication to God • The invisible procession of angels at her presentation • The sorrow and love of Saints Joachim and Anne • The link between Mary's Presentation and her glorious Assumption • Mary as the woman “clothed with the sun” in Revelation • The call for all consecrated souls to renew their devotion • The hope of sharing in Mary’s eternal glory This is an uplifting meditation for religious, consecrated souls, Marian devotees, and all Catholics who seek deeper insight into the life of Our Lady and her role in salvation history.

Why Jesus Refuses Miracles Without Faith ~ Fr. Perricone
Nov 27, 2025​
​
In this powerful sermon, the priest reflects on the Gospel passage where Jesus performs miraculous healings — raising the ruler’s daughter and healing the woman with the hemorrhage. He explains why Christ sometimes refused to work miracles, the danger of seeking “signs and wonders,” and the essential difference between true faith and mere confidence. This homily explores: • Why Jesus’ miracles spread His fame — and why it saddened Him • Why adoration matters, and why kneeling before Christ is the posture of true worship • How the woman healed by touching Christ’s garment reveals the nature of deep, humble faith • Why faith is a supernatural gift received at baptism • The distinction between faith, hope, trust, and the will • Why Catholics must pray daily for an increase in faith • The necessity of studying the faith, especially the Catechism • Why losing faith can happen to anyone who neglects prayer and formation • How to prepare spiritually and intellectually for difficult family conversations at gatherings like Thanksgiving This is a beautiful and sobering reminder that faith must be nurtured like a seed — through prayer, study, humility, and perseverance. “Lord, increase our faith.”
Answering Deuterocanonical Misconceptions | Stunned By Scripture Ep. 11
Nov 22, 2025​
​
​
The so-called “deuterocanonical” books of the Catholic Old Testament include Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, 1 Maccabees, and 2 Maccabees. But what makes a book deuterocanonical? How did these books become part of the Scriptural canon in the first place? In this episode of Stunned by Scripture, Dr. John Bergsma addresses three common misconceptions about the Deuterocanonical books and the Old Testament Biblical canon:
-
they are a specific collection
-
they were part of the "Alexandrian canon"
-
they were rejected because they were not written in Hebrew.
Dive deeper into your knowledge of the Bible with John Bergsma in Stunned by Scripture.
