God does not rest, He is always working. There are so many moments in our lives that we take for granted but God doesn't. He sees them, He is with us and He is working.

God works in all the moments, big and small, good and bad, He is there. Take some time this week to reflect on the different areas in your daily life where you can see God working. Remember you are not alone, He is with you!

#50  GOD IN YOUR LIFE

Something special about every act of leadership is that it makes us alone.  The famous phrase, “it is lonely at the top” applies well to leader in every state.  But is this just an accident?  Or is it in fact a blessing?  When Mary was chosen by God to be the Mother of God, she had to fill the task no one else could fill.  But she embraced it as being chosen by God and therefore holding His hand into the great unknown that he would lead her.  And so she becomes an example for Christian leaders in every age.

A Dram with Sean Blair

In this episode of “Pints with Aquinas,” writer Suan Sonna drops by the studio to chat about his Baptist upbringing, his initial embrace of leftist politics, and what led him to become a conservative Catholic. We discuss:  - Suan’s experience growing up as the son of a Baptist minister.  - How many arguments for abortion end up justifying infanticide.  - Where we find support for the papacy in Scripture.  - How William Lane Craig and Sir Roger Scruton helped Suan overcome his former liberal positions.   <a href= "https://pints.mattfradd.com/pwa-confessions-signup/">Sign up for my free course on St. Augustine's "Confessions"!</a>   SPONSORS Hallow: <a href= "http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a> STRIVE: <a href= "https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> Ethos Logos: <a href= "https://www.elinvestments.net/pints">https://www.elinvestments.net/pints</a>   GIVING Patreon or Directly: <a href= "https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/">https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/ </a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

7 Lost Catholic Traditions And Why We Need To Bring Them Back

On the first day of the calendar year, the Church celebrates The Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God. This day honors the Blessed Virgin Mary under the aspect of her motherhood of Jesus. With her great "yes" to the Divine Will, Mary effectively reverses the negative trajectory caused by the great "no" of the world's first woman, Eve. Today's episode of the Word on Fire Show discusses how Mary, the Mother of God, represents the New Eve who ushers forth the New Adam, the Savior of the World, Jesus Christ. The listener question asks about the perpetual virginity of Mary.

It's commonly assumed that J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, was an arch-conservative, a backward-looking person, and that he valued nothing that smacked of the modern day. But in a groundbreaking new book titled <a href= "https://wordonfire.org/tolkien">Tolkien's Modern Reading: Middle-earth Beyond the Middle Ages</a>, the first in our Word on Fire Academic line of titles, Dr. Holly Ordway reveals that Tolkien was a much broader reader than previously believed. He was quite familiar with contemporary writers and books, and those modern sources significantly shaped his Middle-earth stories. Today, Brandon Vogt interviews Holly about her new book and some of the modern writers Tolkien enjoyed.

Heroic Men welcomes Dr. Ed Tse, founder of <a href="https://aiparenting.live/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AIParenting.live</a>, to discuss AI's impact on society, specifically focusing on the challenges it presents to men's mental health and connections. Dan Donaldson welcomes you to this online event, emphasizes Heroic Men's mission to strengthen ministry to men across North America. Dr. Ed, founder of AI Parenting, shares his insights on AI and loneliness, highlighting the manipulation and isolation caused by AI-driven platforms.Key points discussed include:1. Manipulation: AI and social media are designed to manipulate users by showing content that maximizes engagement, often through sensational and emotional triggers.2. Isolation: Despite increasing connectivity, social media often leads to superficial connections and deeper feelings of loneliness.3. Navigation: To navigate the digital landscape, individuals need unshakeable beliefs and values to anchor themselves amidst the constant manipulation.4. Personal Data: Users must understand that sharing personal information online is akin to sharing their digital soul, which can be used to manipulate them.5. Decision Fatigue: Social media bombards users with countless decisions, draining their mental energy and affecting their ability to make important life choices.6. Emotional Control: Constant exposure to dopamine-inducing content on social media impacts motivation and mental health, leading to issues like addiction and reduced life satisfaction.7. Technology and Automation: Users must be cautious about what aspects of their lives they allow AI to automate, as it can lead to loss of control and increased manipulation.Dr. Ed encourages men to be proactive in their faith and digital interactions, urging them to share their stories and build authentic connections. The session concludes with a call to action for men to participate in the Heroic Leadership Summit and other events to strengthen their faith and community.

Can I baptize a baby on the sly? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Today we hear the last words spoken by the Virgin Mary that are recorded in Scripture: “Do whatever he tells you.”  Through her remarkable witness of faith and her openness to God’s heart—which brought Life itself into the world—the Blessed Mother intercedes for us and leads us to her Son.  Deacon Harold dives more into the readings and the Soulful Psalm 50

How should we respond when the culture becomes inhospitable if not actively hostile to Christian values? Sadly, biblical and natural law points of view are unwelcome now in many of the institutions that constitute the core of our society, including corporations, public schools, higher education, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, the legacy media, and even government entities themselves. What can Christians do to resist persecution by these secular powerhouses? How can we understand what it means to resist those who undermine Christians in light of Christ’s command to love our enemies?

Advent- Remember Your Blessings

We fight so hard to seek fulfillment in our lives. We pursue careers, money, fame, accolades and so many other activities that leave us empty. The reality is that there is one thing in our lives that we just can't replace, one thing that completes us in a way that nothing else will. That irreplaceable thing is God.

Why is God irreplaceable? Because God loves you in ways that even your spouse can't love you. God knows you better than anyone else, He knows your strengths and He knows your weaknesses. All of the things we hide from others, God knows them. He is the only one who completely and totally understands the person you are and still He loves you. 

He loves you so greatly that He took all of your faults, all of your brokenness, and He claimed them as His own. He allowed Himself to be condemned beaten and killed so that you could see there isn't anything that He wouldn't do for you. God fulfills us because He is the one person that will never abandon you no matter what you do or who you are. All you have to do is claim Him the way He claims you.

The Point Men discuss the importance of Fatherhood and the responsibilities that come with it.

Forging Fatherhood

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father Today we hear Jesus, the Lamb of God, speak again of His coming murder on the Cross and of His command that His disciples must follow His example and be a servant to all. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to constantly seek the Fruits of the Spirit, including Peace and Joy, so a he can be a joyful example to others and draw them to Jesus. We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to reject the deadly sin of envy and build the Virtue of Kindness so a he can be a constant blessing to others.

Living a life according to virtue is difficult for anybody.  But those in roles of leadership are under particular scrutiny by those whom they serve.  Everyday their every decision has impact on the lives of those who are underneath them.  For this reason, leaders have a special need for the virtue of justice.  By justice each person is given what is their due.  But justice presents special challenges both in its acquisition and in its practice.  Thank goodness for God’s grace.

DGT Episode 195 - Justice - Defenders And Promoters - The Virtuous Leader Part 6

I chat with Fr. Gregory Pine about the 7 Sacraments! As stated above, the sacraments of the Church were instituted for a twofold purpose: namely, in order to perfect man in things pertaining to the worship of God according to the religion of Christian life, and to be a remedy against the defects caused by sin. And in either way it is becoming that there should be seven sacraments. For spiritual life has a certain conformity with the life of the body: just as other corporeal things have a certain likeness to things spiritual. Now a man attains perfection in the corporeal life in two ways: first, in regard to his own person; secondly, in regard to the whole community of the society in which he lives, for man is by nature a social animal. With regard to himself man is perfected in the life of the body, in two ways; first, directly [per se, i.e. by acquiring some vital perfection; secondly, indirectly [per accidens, i.e. by the removal of hindrances to life, such as ailments, or the like. Now the life of the body is perfected "directly," in three ways. First, by generation whereby a man begins to be and to live: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Baptism, which is a spiritual regeneration, according to Titus 3:5: "By the laver of regeneration," etc. Secondly, by growth whereby a man is brought to perfect size and strength: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Confirmation, in which the Holy Ghost is given to strengthen us. Wherefore the disciples who were already baptized were bidden thus: "Stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high" (Luke 24:49). Thirdly, by nourishment, whereby life and strength are preserved to man; and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the Eucharist. Wherefore it is said (John 6:54): "Except you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you shall not have life in you." And this would be enough for man if he had an impassible life, both corporally and spiritually; but since man is liable at times to both corporal and spiritual infirmity, i.e. sin, hence man needs a cure from his infirmity; which cure is twofold. one is the healing, that restores health: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Penance, according to Psalm 40:5: "Heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee." The other is the restoration of former vigor by means of suitable diet and exercise: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Extreme Unction, which removes the remainder of sin, and prepares man for final glory. Wherefore it is written (James 5:15): "And if he be in sins they shall be forgiven him." In regard to the whole community, man is perfected in two ways. First, by receiving power to rule the community and to exercise public acts: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the sacrament of order, according to the saying of Hebrews 7:27, that priests offer sacrifices not for themselves only, but also for the people. Secondly in regard to natural propagation. This is accomplished by Matrimony both in the corporal and in the spiritual life: since it is not only a sacrament but also a function of nature. We may likewise gather the number of the sacraments from their being instituted as a remedy against the defect caused by sin. For Baptism is intended as a remedy against the absence of spiritual life; Confirmation, against the infirmity of soul found in those of recent birth; the Eucharist, against the soul's proneness to sin; Penance, against actual sin committed after baptism; Extreme Unction, against the remainders of sins—of those sins, namely, which are not sufficiently removed by Penance, whether through negligence or through ignorance; order, against divisions in the community; Matrimony, as a remedy against concupiscence in the individual, and against the decrease in numbers that results from death. Some, again, gather the number of sacraments from a certain adaptation to the virtues and to the defects and penal effects resulting from sin. They say that Baptism corresponds to Faith, and is ordained as a remedy against original sin; Extreme Unction, to Hope, being ordained against venial sin; the Eucharist, to Charity, being ordained against the penal effect which is malice. order, to Prudence, being ordained against ignorance; Penance to Justice, being ordained against mortal sin; Matrimony, to Temperance, being ordained against concupiscence; Confirmation, to Fortitude, being ordained against infirmity.

197: Why The 7 Sacraments? W/ Fr. Gregory Pine

I'm doing something different today. I want to share with you a debate between Catholic apologist Patrick Madrid and Protestant apologist James White on the topic of Sola Scriptura. This debate took place in 1993—I was just 10 years old!! Watch as James White argues that Christians should view the Bible as the sole, infallible rule of faith. And then watch as Patrick Madrid counters with the Catholic view on the Bible's role in our faith lives. This debate sent SHOCKWAVES through the Christian church in 1993, and I think it's just as powerful today as it was back then. Big thanks to Pat Madrid for letting us share it. 🔴 Check out Patrick Madrid's assessment of the debate in this article: <a href= "https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/the-white-mans-burden"> https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/the-white-mans-burden</a> Enjoy!  SPONSORS EL Investments: <a href= "https://www.elinvestments.net/pints">https://www.elinvestments.net/pints</a>  Exodus 90: <a href= "https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/">https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/</a>  Hallow: <a href= "http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a>  STRIVE: <a href= "https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> GIVING Patreon: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

There are a lot of things in common between business leaders and mountain climbers.  In the same way that mountain climbers dare heights by precipitous paths, so the business leader needs to walk a fine line.  So many things need to be balanced at the moral level and inside of themselves in order to do what they do and do it at the service of Christ.  But there are principles to guide them.  One of these principles is that everything we do we do for others.  Our success means the success of everyone involved in the process.

Today we will talk to St. Thomas Aquinas about how to love and forgive our enemies. --- Love of one's enemies may be understood in three ways. First, as though we were to love our enemies as such: this is perverse, and contrary to charity, since it implies love of that which is evil in another. Secondly love of one's enemies may mean that we love them as to their nature, but in general: and in this sense charity requires that we should love our enemies, namely, that in lovingGod and our neighbor, we should not exclude our enemies from the love given to our neighbor in general. Thirdly, love of one's enemies may be considered as specially directed to them, namely, that we should have a special movement of love towards our enemies. Charity does not require this absolutely, because it does not require that we should have a special movement of love to every individual man, since this would be impossible. Nevertheless charity does require this, in respect of our being prepared in mind, namely, that we should be ready to love our enemies individually, if the necessity were to occur. That man should actually do so, and love his enemy for God's sake, without it being necessary for him to do so, belongs to the perfection of charity. For since man loves his neighbor, out of charity, for God's sake, the more he loves God, the more does he put enmities aside and show love towards his neighbor: thus if we loved a certain man very much, we would love his children though they were unfriendly towards us. This is the sense in which Augustine speaks in the passage quoted in the First Objection, the Reply to which is therefore evident. Reply to Objection 2. Everything naturally hates its contrary as such. Now our enemies are contrary to us, as enemies, wherefore this itself should be hateful to us, for their enmity should displease us.

51: How do I love and forgive my enemies?

In this bonus episode, Matt and I, (two super young, cool guys) discuss what we wish we could have known years ago to be better men. The past controls the present unless we make the decision to intentionally love and lead our families well. “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.”

In this bonus episode you’ll here about:
- The need to be open, receptive and seek help from those wiser than ourselves.
- The sooner you reflect on & address your wounds, the better your relationships will be!
- Expectations vs. Reality as Catholic parent.
- The call to be a leader (that does not manipulate)
- And more!

We have grasped the truth when what exists and what we think exists are the same. Philosophers and scientists alike seek to understand the universe as it really is, or, in other words, to know the truth about the universe. The great Medieval philosopher St. Thomas Aquinas believed that philosophy could tell us a lot about God. St. Thomas is famous for using logical reasoning to prove God’s existence: there must be one uncaused being which creates everything else, and this reality is referred to as “God.” Using St. Thomas’s reasoning, we can simply look at the world around us and, by using our intellect, conclude that there must be a Creator.In this episode you will learn that ...■ Philosophy is the love of wisdom and can be used to come to reasonable knowledge of God.■ St. Thomas Aquinas demonstrated by way of five proofs for God’s existence that there must be one uncaused, unrestricted being who caused everything else.■ Contemporary philosopher Bernard Lonergan has developed a new proof for God’s existence that focuses on the intelligibility of reality: God is the complete set of correct answers to the complete set of questions.■ Philosophical proofs for God can tell us what God is—the Creator, the unique uncaused reality existing through itself, unrestricted in intelligibility and in intelligence—but they are limited in what they can tell us about who God is.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr. Spitzer is a Catholic priest in the Jesuit order and is currently the President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith (<a href="https://magiscenter.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">magiscenter.com</a>). The Magis Center produces documentaries, books, high school programs, college courses, adult-education programs, and social media materials on the close connection among science, reason, and faith. Fr. Spitzer is also the President, Master of Ceremonies, and speaker at the Napa Institute (<a href="https://napa-institute.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">napa-institute.org</a>).

Episode 4: Philosophical Proofs of an Intelligent Creator

We are officially in the thick of Lent! There is no doubt that the initial zeal of our commitments may be dwindling. Our temptations to break our promises are not random, and we may actually be able to rejoice in the suffering of these temptations. 

In this episode, you will hear John and Victor talk about:

- The REASON your lent is getting difficult
- Being grounded in a “yes”.
- Suffering is the key to our salvation!
- Practical tips on how to suffer well!
