Using the imagery of Minnesota's countless lakes - some famous, some unnamed but equally valuable - discover how today's Gospel of the feeding of the 5,000 (or was it 10,000 or 15,000?) reveals a profound truth: in God's kingdom, everyone counts, even those we cannot see or number.

On the Feast of Saint Mary Magdalene, we learn of the powerful symbolism of her Christian iconography.

Though Micah is called a "prophet of doom," his book ends with a word of hope. Though the world resists the Gospel, Jesus welcomes us into a community of beloved disciples.

While being a "missionary disciple" carries a cost and requires us to take up our cross, Jesus promises that his yoke is easy and his burden is light.

While the world often focuses on material wealth—treasures that moths and decay can destroy—Jesus calls us to store up treasures in heaven.
