What sign can you do?

John 6:30-35 If I wasn't in the same boat as these sinners following Jesus I would probably be laughing right in their face. I often wonder how Jesus kept from rolling on the grass laughing at what some people do. Today we hear the crowd ask Him, "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?..." Is this not the same crowd who in verse 2 we are told - "followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick ."? Are these not the same people who in verse 14 " when they saw the sign he had done, they said, "This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world."? Yet still they seek a sign. However, they are not seeking a sign so that they might believe, they are wanting to be fed. Jesus worked a "sign" with the loaves and the fishes and now they want Him to do it again.

A Visit to Church: A picture journey (Book)

When I was working as a Director of Religious Education I thought it would be nice to have a book for the kids that explained all the things they see at Mass.  I put together a paperback book that examined many of the items commonly found in the Catholic Church like statues, stained-glass windows and all the items Father uses for Mass.  The book was well received by parents, kids, and educators.

I've now republished the book using the Kindle format for digital ebook.  This book is available on Kindle Fire and newer models as well as computer Kindle reader apps.

Today and tomorrow (11/2/14, 11/3/14) the book is free for Kindle.  You can download it here.  Please be so kind to leave a review.  It helps others find the book and it helps me serve more people.  Here's the link - A Visit to Church: A Picture Journey
