Loyola Marymount University and the African American Catholic Center for Evangelization bring two friends together, Evang./Prof. Howard and Fr. Steven Bell. These individuals, who were neighbors in Washington, D.C., share the profundity of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s sermon "A Knock at Midnight" while discerning Dr. King's message of love, faith, and truth. Together, these two dynamic speakers expose the role of the Church in responding to the knock on their doors in the spiritual darkness that many are living in the 21st century.

During this Advent Season, Eat the Scroll Ministry encouraged everyone to rest. Here in our fourth installment of Advent, we continue to look at resting and keeping our eyes on the coming of the Lord. In our gospel reading, Mary contemplate what type of greeting she received from the angel. When this season ends, do we return to our old ways of running 24/7, or do we rest to hear the voice of the Lord throughout the year? The Old Testament leaders found time to rest in many ways to listen to the voice of the Lord. Remember Matthew's words, "... you will find rest for yourselves" (Mt. 11:29) when you come to Jesus.

In this Advent Season, Eat the Scroll Ministry encourages everyone to give love to their spiritual temple by resting. We need to avoid moving so much. We must decide to rest before we are forced to rest. In this video meditation, we hear words of wisdom by Mother Teresa and John the Baptist from John's gospel. Let's plan some rest time during this week of Advent.

In this Advent Season, Eat the Scroll Ministry continues to encourage everyone to give love to their spiritual temple to avoid the seduction of this world. Materialism and false narratives have worn down our bodies. Running from store to store or surfing the internet can cause us to miss the real reason for the season. This video meditation is designed to eradicate the false narrative from the Gospel of Consumption (GC). GC wants you to shop til you drop and spend til you bend to your creditors. Let's be like John in Mark's Gospel, and elevate Jesus, the Savior of the world.
