Not a Dead Object
I’ll never forget the day. It was around 2006 - 2007. It had been only a matter of time since I stumbled into making a general confession at the Newman Center on the University of Missouri’s campus because of Our Lady’s intercession. Still grasping and feeling my way through much bewilderment due to such a dramatic turn of events in my life, God managed to direct me to the Church that day. To be honest with you, I can’t recall why I went there or how I found out about it. I assume it was to receive the sacrament of confession again.

The satanist then became “quite serious about it” and asked “deep questions” about “the truth of Mother Church.”

Veil Removed
The powerful short film, The Veil Removed, perfectly captures the most extraordinary event in all of history: Christ’s sacrifice of Calvary. An endless, continual sacrifice that transcends time and space itself, blending the supernatural world with the natural world. When we celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, Christ’s Sacrifice of the Cross is renewed, and we become present to that very same timeless sacrifice which occurred 2,000 years ago.
