The Good News “Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

On this July morning in 2020, the film set was empty. Dirt roads opened into silen...

By Dr. Jeff Mirus ( bio - articles - email ) | Mar 16, 2021 The Word of God is present in different ways in different things. It is through the Word, after all, that all things that are not God came to be. But let us permit St. John to tell us the full story: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God….
