Catholic Audio Bible
How can I cheer up an old catholic man?
There's this old man on my meals-on-wheels route, and every time I deliver his meal he has me make his bed, and while I'm doing that he tells me that Baptist theology is "crippled" (I'm a Baptist) and then tries to get me to go catholic.
I don't really mind, I think it's funny. Anyways, he told me that he was feeling a little depressed on friday, and it made me sad.
How can I cheer him up? I have the "Word of Promise" audio Bible, and I was going to burn him a copy of the Book of John or something.
He can't really eat anything, so I can't bake him brownies or anything.
What do I do?
You're a dear and thoughtful young lady. Bless your heart for seeing him as a man in need of kindness, your desire to respect his faith, and your charitable amusement about his "Baptist" comments!
You've received many very good suggestions here. I would just like to underscore one in particular, and that is to find out if Holy Communion is being brought to him as part of the community ministry of the local parish ... and if not, please call the parish office and ask them to contact him. Often that's the only way we're aware that homebound Catholics are in need of this -- when someone who cares about them calls.
I hope you're able to follow up on some of these suggestions. Even just one of them would mean a lot to this man -- and your thoughtfulness even more. God bless you!

Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic (Downloadable Audio) $14.95 Read by Deacon Jim Russell David Currie was raised in a devout Christian family whose father was a fundamentalist preacher and both parents teachers at Moody Bible Institute. Currie's whole upbringing was immersed in the life of fundamentalist Protestantism - theology professors, seminary presidents and founders of evangelical mission agencies were frequent guests at his family dinner table. Currie received a degree from Trinity International University and studied in the Masters of Divinity program. This book was written as an explanation to his fundamentalist and evangelical friends and family about why he became a Roman Catholic. Currie presents a very lucid, systematic and intelligible account of the reasons for his conversion to the ancient Church that Christ founded. He gives a detailed discussion of the important theological and doctrinal beliefs Catholic and evangelicals hold in common, as well as the key doctrines that separate us, particularly the Eucharist, the Pope, and Mary. "David Currie has written what may turn out to be the work on this nettlesome topic of Evangelicals being received into the Catholic Church. With great charity and lucidity, he pursues every conceivable topic - biblical, ecclesiological, theological, and historical - that arises in the discussions on this matter." "Thomas Howard, Author, Evangelical is Not Enough "Currie has given us a work which is eminently intelligible, readable and personal. This book makes an especially happy marriage of the 'head' and the 'heart' in explaining the when, the why and the how of his pilgrimage. It should serve as a paradigm for the movement of 'Everyman' toward God and the Church His divine Son founded." "Rev. Peter M.J. Stravinskas, Editor, The Catholic Answer "Currie's book is a must read. Seldom is something so deep explained so clearly as Currie does in this wonderful work. Get it and get a copy for a friend." " Scott Hahn, Author, Rome Sweet Home '' Book Length (hours:minutes:seconds) ' 7:58:05 |

The Catholic Church and the Bible $11.95 Are Catholics biblical illiterates? So goes the frequent question, proving that myths die hard. But Catholics ought to be able to answer the charge made by many non-Catholics in this regard. This book is a response to Fundamentalist critics and an explanation of the Catholic biblical tradition. The Catholic Church and the Bible is a significant scriptural study guide, published from a Catholic perspective and particularly keyed to the new Catechism of the Catholic Church. The well-planned, straight-forward text is clearly outlined to make information easy to find and understand. Main topics include: - The Catholic understanding of the Bible - God's Word and its purpose in the Church - A biblical theology of the Mass, the place of the Bible in the Sacred Liturgy - A question-and-answer section that deals with pertinent and popular inquiries made by Catholics and non-Catholics alike This work should be heartily welcomed by both clergy and laity, for Father Stravinskas sheds new light on Catholic Bible study by writing with candor, clarity and scriptural backing. This is ideal for high schools and RCIA programs. "An excellent tool for the Catholic apologist. The reader has everything in one place: pithy answers plus biblical and magisterial citations. Fr. Stravinskas is the best priest-apologist in the country." "Karl Keating, Author, Catholicism and Fundamentalism Fr. Peter M.J. Stravinskas is the well-known editor of the The Catholic Answer magazine, a contributing editor to National Catholic Register , and has written over 500 articles for numerous Catholic publications. |
