Catholic Families: The Model for a Culture of Love & Life.

This talk will examine the differences between authentic male and female spirituality and explore the intimate relationship of wives and husbands in the "one-flesh" union as a reflection of the intimacy between sacramental marriage and the Eucharist. Meeting Jesus in the Beauty & Truth of the Catholic Faith. Deacon Harold will answer the questions, "What kind of relationship does God want with us?" and "Why should I listen to a Church that makes all of these rules that inhibit my freedom to do what I want?" by exploring the true meaning of love and how the proper formation of conscience prepares teens to receive the Lord by making a gift of themselves in love. Living a Eucharistic Faith: The Big Deal About Mass and Why It Matters. Deacon Harold will explain how to live "Eucharistically" by making the connection between what happens at Mass and our participation in it, and the application of its fruits within our lives.

Comments Posted By The Public ... Posted on 11/10/08: "I am a new Cathecist for our parish. It is a very old and very very poor parish on the east side of San Antonio- Our Lady of Perpetual Help, San Antonio) Deacon, I made 6 figures with my job as an Assistant Special Agent in Charge of Phialdelpphia Field Division over 5 regions. I am the first Latina to be in such a position in my agency, afyter 18 years in the agency. Well Deacon, I left it all behind and am poor again (back to my roots in San Anotnio). But I am happy! Insecure and unsure, but happy! I have been ignoring a calling, putting it aside. I can no longer ignore it and find I am happiest reading and learning about God, Jesus, the bible and my Catholic faith. I am very excited to learn more and hope to be accepted into the Oblate School of theology in San Antonio. I very much enjoyed your speech and can't wait to contribute more to this poor church of ours. I hear that the folks who run it are old and don't like to try new things, like adult bible study, etc "because no one will come." My comment to that was,"Thank God that Jesus and his apostles didn't have that attitude!" Deacon, I will pray for you and hope that you will pray for me too. I am in transition right now and hope to stay on task with what the Lord wants me to do. I will be starting up a private investigations company in town and would love any advise you can offer. I also hope to have our own conference here at OLPH and book you in the future! Thanks for all!" - Romy Gomez, San Antonio
