New Bible Video: I Am the Bread of Life

Catholic church ad calls Jesus Christ 'The Original Hipster'
MR says: An interesting campaign launched by a diocese (like a ward) in Brooklyn. In a time where organized religion has been forced to recognize the rise of the "nones," the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn has launched a new ad campaign, "All Faces, Everyday Understanding," in which it classifies Jesus...

A Folk Tale for Good Friday: The Three Trees
MR says: This is an old and well known story, but one that remains beautiful to remember at Easter. Once upon a time, three trees stood in a forest high on a mountain, dreaming of what they might become one day. The first tree looked up at the stars twinkling like diamonds in the night sky. “I want to...
Share Easter With Your Friends
MR says: A few cool resources to share Easter's message with others this year. This Easter, please consider sharing your thoughts about Jesus Christ with your friends who are not of our faith. Help them understand that we believe in and follow Jesus. Invite them to the LDS.org page about Easter...
Hosanna! Reflections on Palm Sunday
MR says: Great little inspiration for the day, as we head into the week preceding Easter. Yesterday for our family scripture study, we read parts of John 12 in commemoration of Palm Sunday. I was delighted when my daughter’s memory was spurred by the verse where the people cry “Hosanna!” Last year,...
Fab Five: Fun Easter Ideas for Teaching Kids About Jesus
Easter isn't a bunny or eggs or chocolate. It is foremost a celebration of the greatest event in human history: the resurrection of Jesus Christ after his atonement and crucifixion for our sins. It can be hard for kids to see Easter as anything but colorful eggs and chocolate bunnies. But parents...
Mormons increasingly drawn to Holy Week rituals
MR says: Have you ever participated in other faiths' traditions (like Lent) in leading up to Easter? What do you think of incorporating them? It’s the middle of Lent and even the sound of a pop can opening reminds Alisa Bolander what she gave up — Coke Zero — during her 40-day preparation for Holy...
Setting Christ-centered Goals as a Family
After New Years my wife and I set many goals that we wanted to accomplish during the year, and habits we wanted to incorporate into our lives that would stay with us for our lifetime. Of course, with all New Years goals usually they never happen. Finally, a month later we got back into the groove...
Alone on Valentine’s Day? God Will Be With You
MR says: A religious look at V-day. Valentine’s Day is one day no one really wants to be alone. It is a day that in many countries has been set aside for us to be with those who love us, and that can make it hard when you feel like you’re alone. While you may not have a Valentine’s Day romance, you...
I’m pretty weak
MR says: A beautiful essay on relying on the Savior. Have you experienced something that made you feel weak instead of strong? As a Mormon who has sat through many a Sacrament Meeting and Sunday School lesson I’ve heard over and over, “Trials make us stronger.” “Suffering refines your character.”...
20 Minutes to Increased Spirituality
MR says: A great and simple idea for improving our relationship with the Lord. Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. D&C 88:63 This is one of my favorite verses of scripture. I’ve...
Harvard delays publication of ‘Jesus’ Wife’ article, papyrus to receive more testing
MR says: The latest update on this popular story. The Harvard Theological Review is postponing publication of a major article on the papyrus fragment in which Jesus seems to refer to his wife, raising further doubts about a discovery that was set to turn Christian history on its head when it was announced...
Christmas writing contest: Christmas during the Great Depression
MR says: Love this beautiful story about a little girl coming to understand the sacrifice of the Savior. It was December 1935. I was about 7 years old. It was Saturday. Mother went over to visit her sister and took baby Norman with her and left my 4-year-old sister, Florence, and me home in Father's care....
