Take a pilgrimage with Steve and Janet Ray!
Virtual Tour of the Passion of Christ
What was Holy Week really like? Steve has been to the Holy Land over 200 times and takes us on a journey from the Institution of the Eucharist on Holy Thursday, through the Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
St. Joseph’s Silent Leadership
Steve dives into the life and meaning of St. Joseph and his life with the Holy Family. This is not the Joseph holding a lily with lotion-soft hands. This is the rugged man with muscles of steel and a heart of gold – the man God chose to raise his son.
Cardinal Pizzaballa and the Israeli Police
There has been a lot of discussion on this. I believe Israel was doing their best to protect the population. The mosques and synagogues were also closed.
But it was wise to come to this agreement. I’ve seen the videos of missiles and shrapnel over the Old City, some landing within meters of the holy slicker. My Palestinian Christian friends have been communicating with me daily.
