Friends, during this week’s episode of the Word on Fire Show, Matthew Petrusek and I discuss the ways in which Catholic schools fulfill their primary purpose of evangelization from coursework to the celebration of the Sacraments—each an important aspect of preparing children to confidently meet the world in all of its dimensions.

In addition, a listener asks: How is it possible to love God if he is love itself?
