Beacon of Truth with Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers

A young married couple desperately wants to have children. They’ve tried to get pregnant for the past year and can’t. Their doctor recommends in vitro fertilization, which goes against the Church’s teaching. The couple is confused and somewhat angry at the Church for taking what they believe to be an “unreasonable” position. “After all,” the couple says, “We’re not like those couples who get married and don’t have kids. We want children! We’re good people, and will provide a warm and loving home.” Why does the Church insist on the immorality of in vitro fertilization? Deacon Harold answers this and more.

Corresponding to these rights are duties and responsibilities—to one another, to our families, especially our children, and to the larger society. Deacon Harold breaks this open as well as looking into Soulful Psalm 119

This metanoia, this turning back toward the Lord, is told beautifully in the parable of the Prodigal Son.

Today’s magnificent solemnity of the Assumption of Mary into heaven began back in the Garden of Eden. In God's mind from all eternity, when He decided to create beings made in His image and likeness, and fill them with the gift of His life-giving love, it is within a woman's being--within her heart and soul--where His love first established a foundation and home. The spirituality of a woman is rooted in the fact that she is the heart of love and through her special and unique relationship with the Holy Spirit (as one who gives life), a woman is truly the example of what it means to be fully human.
