The Catholic Clips blog are short stories, teaching moments that can be used very quickly to teach about the faith. The clips are also great if you are an MC at an event or retreat and only have 3-5 minutes to get you point across. They are also great in conversations, so people don't feel like they are being preached at. If you have any short stories that you would like to share with Remnant please e-mail them to us at mattgill@remnantband.com.

St. John of the Cross - The Marriage of Christ to Humanity
This Advent season as we approach the mystery of the Incarnation, the Nativity of our Lord, the Word made Flesh it is good to contemplate slowly this poem of St. John of the Cross. What is really happening when God becomes man. What is happening to God, what is happening to man, what happens to us?

Remnant - Analogy of Mississippi River and The Holy Trinity
April 25, 2008
The Mississippi river, which was discovered first by DeSoto in the 1500's was originally named after the Holy Spirit.

All the energy and gifts of humanity DIE with humans unless the human is willing to die to self and consecrate (give them self to God).
