Raising Saints - Season 3: 009 Why Isn't God Featured in the Stained Glass at Church?

Today we answer a question from 5 year old, Nate, who asks: "Why is there not a picture of God, if He is the main character at St. Columba (Fr. Connolly's parish), in the pictures in the stained glass?"

So we discuss how we don't know what God the Father, the first person of the Holy Trinity, looks like, but that we do see Jesus, the second person of the Holy Trinity, represented in the stained glass and other artwork. And we talk about how we see Jesus present in the Eucharist also.

Raising Saints - Season 3: 008 Interview with Kimberly Cook, author of Motherhood Redeemed

"Why do only men become priests?" is an often asked question of boys and girls alike. Fr. Connolly regularly gets asked for an explanation. To help us address this question, we are joined by guest Kimberly Cook. Kimberly is a writer, podcaster, wife, mother and Catholic apologist, and joins us today to discuss her new book,  Motherhood Redeemed, How Radical Feminism Betrayed Maternal Love.  She gives us a good explanation of feminism, her own experience with feminism, a bit of her conversion story back to Catholicism. And we discuss the ideas of true femininity and masculinity as understood in Catholic teaching, which was a good launching point for us to discuss the roles of men and women within the church. If you'd like to find out more about Kimberly,  visit her website . You can find her book on Amazon or through TAN books.
