Our managing editor, Robert Collins, SJ, also directs an adult-initiation program at a nearby (Paulist!) parish, St. Paul the Apostle. So he's always on the lookout for good catechetical material. The other day he came upon this truly amazing resource on the USCCB website: daily video reflections on Scripture. Perhaps it's been around for a while, but I hadn't heard of it.

Anyway, in addition to the other, many, terrific resources on the USCCB's site, are these wonderful reflections.
