  <itunes:subtitle>Have you ever stopped to think about why Jesus called people who may have despised each other to be in his inner circle—and what effect that may have had on their ministry? Meg Hunter-Kilmer explains why she loves “Matthew the man” and how the radical power of grace transformed him and impacted the gospel that bears his name. Learn why we should care about all of the Old Testament references there, and why we might want to read a whole gospel when we hear it each Sunday at Mass.</itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>Does being in nature lift your soul to God? Lisa M. Hendey, founder of CatholicMom.com, explains that since childhood, both the Bible and the natural world have instilled a sense of the sacred within her. Our call to care for one another by caring for the world around us springs from scripture, Hendey says. She believes that nature can open a door to conversations with those who are away from the Church.</itunes:subtitle>
