Our campus ministry team is seeking to bring FOCUS Catholic missionaries to the Greater Portland area for the 26-27 academic year. FOCUS (the Fellowship of Catholic University Students) provides teams of specially-trained Catholic missionaries to help evangelize college campuses across the country. Many Catholic Mainers may already be familiar with FOCUS from the fantastic work done by the missionaries at UMaine in Orono.

We hope to bring a new team to southern Maine, based at St. Joseph's College, to serve the college students in the greater Portland area. In order to do so, FOCUS requires us to fund the missionaries' first year of ministry. If we cannot raise the remaining $37,000 by easter, we risk losing this opportunity.

"The Church does not merely place a Bible in our hands. She proclaims it at mass, she explains it in preaching, she interprets it within Tradition, she guards it so that it guards us." - Bishop Ruggieri

In this episode, Bishop Ruggieri discusses paragraphs 101 to 184 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. He explains how the Sacred Scriptures are essential to our faith and the life of the whole Church. The Bible is not a "dead letter" but the truly living Word of God.

This episode marks the beginning of a series of episodes focused on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Bishop Ruggieri explains the historical context of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and gives an introduction to what it contains.

Bishop Ruggieri emphasizes a key message from the catechism, that God draws close to us at every time and place.

"I think that's really important because sometimes we may feel we're forgotten or we may feel alone. But please, we're not alone, especially in our questions. And God never abandons us in our struggles. God is closer to us than we can possibly even imagine." - Bishop James Ruggieri

On the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, we celebrate the "Sunday of the Word of God." This special day, established by Pope Francis in September 2019, is intended to remind us of the gift that sacred Scripture is to all of us.

In his apostolic letter “Aperuit Illis,” Pope Francis said, “The relationship between the Risen Lord, the community of believers, and sacred Scripture is essential to our identity as Christians. Without the Lord who opens our minds to them, it is impossible to understand the Scriptures in depth. Yet the contrary is equally true: without the Scriptures, the events of the mission of Jesus and of his Church in this world would remain incomprehensible.”
