The topic that comes to the fore, like in last week’s Gospel, is the relationship that our good works have with our salvation. The Readin ..read more

Episode 75: Year B – 5th Sunday of Easter There are three details that we focus on in the readings for this upcoming 5th Sunday of Easter, Year B.

For those who believe in the distinction between mortal and venial sin, 1 John 5:16-17 is often a go-to text.
