Thoughts from the Trailer with Fr. John RiccardoThoughts from the Trailer with Fr. John RiccardoEpisode 105: Playing Catch UpPaul is for me the best example of a man whose psychology caught up with his ontology when he wrote, “For me, life is Christ and death is gain” (Phil 1:21). Gain! In other words, so long as we live, we will do so for the glory of God and the good of our neighbor. But death need not frighten us. It has no power over us. What’s up head is infinitely greater than all that is behind. Hebrews 2:14-18 actsxxix.org/trailer/105 ======= Have a comment about this podcast? Contact us!
