Welcome back to Caritas Christi – Weekly Scripture Reflections with Dr. Nina Heereman, professor of Sacred Scripture at St. Patrick’s Seminary and University in Menlo Park, California. In "Faith Foundations," Dr. Heereman dives deep into the Gospel of Matthew to explore the radical reality of true Christian conversion. Pulling from the calling of Simon Peter, she reminds us that conversion isn't a one-time event—it is a daily, lifelong process of renewing our minds and conforming our hearts to Christ. Dr. Heereman unpacks: The Lifelong Journey of Conversion: Why even St. Peter needed to constantly align his thoughts with God's will. Jesus as the New Moses: How Matthew evokes Mount Sinai to reveal Jesus sitting on the mountain as Wisdom Incarnate, fulfilling the prophecy of Deuteronomy 18:15. The Hebrew Roots of Faith: A profound look into Isaiah 7:9 ("Unless your faith is firm, you shall not be firm") and the powerful linguistic connection to the word "Amen."
