The Necessity of Sunday Worship
By David Vermont
One of the most difficult apologetic questions faced by Catholics is the question of the Saturday Sabbath versus Sunday worship.

Day 168 – You Will Get a New Body
Day 168 – You Will Get a New Body
By David Vermont
In my opinion, this is one of the most joyful chapters of the New Testament. In it, Paul just made it clear to the Corinthians that the resurrection of the body is real.
