Our existence is a mystery

whoever faces it with open hands

will find an unsuspected life

Front page

The death of Jesus is at the heart of the Gospel. You can read again the passion narrative with an exceptional guide, the great biblical scholar Raymond E. Brown, going through the forty stations of his major work:
The Death of the Messiah.

This site is the English translation (still underway) of a French site. It is geared to people who want to understand the mystery of their existence in the light of Jesus of Nazareth.

On the "Homilies" menu, you will find a list of Sunday Gospels with related homilies.

On the "Calendar" menu, you will find the schedule of the catholic liturgical year and related homilies.

The "Resources" menu contains documents that help to understand the Gospels and the New Testament.

On the menu "New" you will find what has been added recently.
