Crazy Saints, Liturgical Movements, & Handling Disagreement (Fr. Augustine Wetta) | Ep. 443

All of us want to make a difference for Christ in our culture today.  But most of us don’t know where to begin.  A wide variety of issues competes for our attention.  One thing the Catholic church has consistently argued is that the family is the root of society.  As the family goes so the world will go.  Maybe this is why for the Catholic church so much attention is spent on developing family ties.  Why is this so, however?  And what importance should we give the family in our own efforts to transform the culture for Christ today?

DGT Episode 263 - The World Goes As The Family Goes - Impact Culture For Christ Part 6

Objection 3. Further, as it has been stated above, no feast is celebrated except of some saint. But some keep the feast of the Conception of the Blessed Virgin. Therefore it seems that in her very Conception she was holy; and hence that she was sanctified before animation. Reply to Objection 3. Although the Church of Rome does not celebrate the Conception of the Blessed Virgin, yet it tolerates the custom of certain churches that do keep that feast, wherefore this is not to be entirely reprobated. Nevertheless the celebration of this feast does not give us to understand that she was holy in her conception. But since it is not known when she was sanctified, the feast of her Sanctification, rather than the feast of her Conception, is kept on the day of her conception. ST. 3. Q 27. A 2. ---------- God so prepares and endows those, whom He chooses for some particular office, that they are rendered capable of fulfilling it, according to 2 Corinthians 3:6: "(Who) hath made us fit ministers of the New Testament." Now theBlessed Virgin was chosen by God to be His Mother. Therefore there can be no doubt that God, by His grace, made her worthy of that office, according to the words spoken to her by the angel (Luke 1:30-31): "Thou hast found grace withGod: behold thou shalt conceive," etc. But she would not have been worthy to be the Mother of God, if she had ever sinned. First, because the honor of the parents reflects on the child, according to Proverbs 17:6: "The glory of children are their fathers": and consequently, on the other hand, the Mother's shame would have reflected on her Son. Secondly, because of the singular affinity between her and Christ, who took flesh from her: and it is written (2 Corinthians 6:15): "What concord hath Christ with Belial?" Thirdly, because of the singular manner in which the Son of God, who is the "Divine Wisdom" (1 Corinthians 1:24) dwelt in her, not only in her soul but in her womb. And it is written (Wisdom 1:4): "Wisdom will not enter into a malicious soul, nor dwell in a body subject to sins." We must therefore confess simply that the Blessed Virgin committed no actual sin, neither mortal nor venial; so that what is written (Canticles 4:7) is fulfilled: "Thou art all fair, O my love, and there is not a spot in thee," etc. ST. 3. Q 27. A 4.

S2-Case #11-Live Free-Pt 2

Here's something you can count on: When you step away from the world, the flesh, and the devil, they’re going to want you back. We just finished our series on True Transformation, and the sort of radical changes to our lives that happen when we grow closer to the Holy Spirit through fasting, prayer, and the Sacraments. Those changes are sure to draw the enemy's attention. Our growth in holiness angers the devil, and he'll do whatever he can to try and slip you up. But no matter how hard he might try, we don't need to fear him or anything he throws at us. The truth is that the devil has no authority over us — unless we give it to him.

Join John and Victor in the pew this week as they talk about the realities of spiritual warfare and how to avoid dancing with the devil.

Fr. Gregory Pine, Fr. Patrick Briscoe, & Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress on the Power of the Rosary + Q&A

We hand our identity to the things we own. The house, the car, the title in the email signature, the number in the account. We see a man who is thirty seven and retired and decide he must have life figured out, and we measure ourselves against a pile we know nothing about. Underneath a lot of it is fear, the fear of losing what we have and the fear of who we would be without it. Devin and I sat down to talk about money, and we ended up talking about that fear, and about a truth we work hard to dodge: none of it belongs to us. Our bodies, our homes, every part of our lives, all of it on loan.

Today we dig into the four pillars of stewardship from the USCCB, the parable of the talents, and a framework for giving that works at any income level. We tell the story of Conrad Hilton, a man who lost nearly everything in the Depression, who gave away 97% of his fortune and why his son eventually did the same.

Conservatism, Catholicism, and Good Cigars (Michael Knowles) | Ep. 376

Let’s face it, leading other people is always hard.  If we say the wrong thing in the wrong way, we can actually discourage the people we are supposed to encourage.  On the other hand if we just tell them the truth like it is, we can leave them without any motivation.  Speaking the word of truth correctly is the art and essence of good communication and leadership.  But how do we do this?  Pope St. Gregory the Great offers us some amazing insights in his book, “On The Rule of Shepherds – Book 3.”

Simone Rizkallah: PhilosProject

I think leaders often get a bad name.  We are portrayed as people whose vision makes us hard and whose clarity makes us intransient. But a Christian leader is called to be something more.  The Acts Of The Apostles show us St. Peter as a leader who is vulnerable, who is emotionally engaged and, therefore, who is even more effective.

DGT Episode 49 - Peter And A Leader's Vulnerability - St. Peter Part 12

Jesse Romero is back! Now, this is a past episode, but after re-listening to it you will be fired up to go out there and preach about Jesus! From personal stories about his time as a cop encountering the devil to powerful messages to motivate men, this episode packs a punch, literally and figuratively. It is no wonder this episode garnished over 10k views on YouTube! To quote Mr. Romero directly from his website: “If your parish suffers from low energy, call me, I can jump-start it. I’m a full Gospel, Bible Believing, Born Again, Spirit Filled, Evangelical, Orthodox Catholic Christian, washed and empowered by the blood of Jesus.  With a Bible in one hand, with a rosary in my other hand, and with Jesus in my heart, you will hear the fullness of the Catholic faith in an evangelical style with devil-destroying theology.” You won't want to miss this epic episode.  <a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Ep 73 - Blast from the Past: Jesse Romero, Fire-breathing Catholic

One day away. Palm Sunday is tomorrow. Holy Week’s knocking. Are you ready? I’m diving into the privileges of devotion to St. Joseph, pulling from Father Calloway’s Consecration to St. Joseph and the wisdom of saints like St. Josemaría Escrivá. Today’s about why loving St. Joseph matters. Blessed Maria Teresa of St. Joseph went from a Protestant home to a nun, leaning on him through rejection and hardship. Venerable Mary of Ágreda lists seven graces he brings like purity, a happy death, and terrifying demons. Our Lady herself told mystics his intercession’s unmatched. Why? He loved Jesus and Mary most after God, living humility and silence we can’t fathom. Here’s your challenge: Reflect on your Lent. How’s it going? Slipped up? Forgotten your goals? Look to St. Joseph’s obedience and quiet strength—make this Holy Week your best yet.  Men, Satan hates Joseph’s power. Want to shield your family and grow closer to Christ? Devotion to him is your weapon.  Products/References Mentioned:  <ul><li>Consecration to St. Joseph by Father Donald Calloway  </li><li>The Mystical City of God by Venerable Mary of Ágreda  </li><li>St. Josemaría Escrivá’s quote on St. Joseph</li></ul>Powerful Quotes:  <ol><li>“He is the person who has most loved God after our mother. He deserves your affection and it will do you good to get to know him because he is the master of the interior life.”  </li><li>“In virtue of these special privileges, the intercession of St. Joseph is most powerful… for attaining the virtue of purity and overcoming the sensual inclinations of the flesh.”  </li><li>“The whole human race has much undervalued the privileges and prerogatives conceded to my blessed spouse, and they know not what his intercession with God is able to do.”</li></ol>Key Takeaway: Pause today—reflect on St. Joseph’s silence and humility. Apply it now to refocus your Lent and enter Holy Week with purpose.  <a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1766613/open_sms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Send us a text</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc">Support the show</a>Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our <a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Buy Me A Coffee </a>page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Day 34 - Unlocking St. Joseph's Intercession: The Power of This Saint

In this milestone episode, the BeatiDudes come together at the Tiny Table for a time of reflection, gratitude, laughter, and honest fraternity. Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein look back at the journey, the growth, the awkward early moments, the spiritual breakthroughs, and the deep friendships formed along the way. What began as a simple idea has become a movement of men walking together in holiness.
This episode is about brotherhood. The Dudes reflect on what has changed over 300 conversations, what has stayed the same, and why authentic male friendship rooted in Christ remains rare but is desperately needed. And the BeatiDudes promise to keep showing up at the Tiny Table for the next 300.
Reflection Questions
1.	Who are the men sitting at your Tiny Table?
2.	Have you allowed yourself to be known by other men?
3.	What would 300 intentional conversations do for your life?
4.	Where is God inviting you to deepen fraternity this year?
 
A Challenge for the Week
Text one man today.
Invite him to coffee.
Start your own Tiny Table.
Consistency builds brotherhood. Brotherhood builds holiness.
 
Gratitude
To every listener who has joined us for one episode or all 300, thank you. You are part of this fraternity. You are part of the story. And the story is just getting started.
 
We will see you at the Tiny Table.
And we will see you in the Eucharist.

Authentic Fraternity | Paul, Jeff, and Nick | Episode #300

Jesus tells us, “Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock” (Matthew 7:24). A solid, lasting Catholic school will build itself upon this rock of Christ’s words and his Church. This can be done through having a written philosophy of education based in Catholicism. From this basis, a school can ground every aspect, from curriculum, to aesthetics, to athletics, and to the fine arts offerings, in Christ. Having the mission clearly laid out helps the administrators, teachers and staff of a school stay focused on forming Catholic hearts and minds in faith, reason and virtue. Also Deacon Harold looks at Soulful Psalm 118:26-29

Catholic School Identity

Pentecost is coming and we celebrate the Holy Spirit's power in our lives. Also looking into Soulful Psalm Psalm  90:13-15

Pentecost

In this episode of A Reason for Hope, Mario Costabile sits down with Tom Monaghan, founder of Domino’s Pizza, former owner of the Detroit Tigers, and the visionary behind Ave Maria University and Legatus. From a childhood in a Catholic orphanage to becoming one of America’s most successful Catholic entrepreneurs, Tom shares his remarkable journey of faith, perseverance, and purpose. He opens up about the spiritual turning point that led him to give up worldly luxuries after reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, his lifelong devotion to the Mass and the Rosary, and how he dedicated his fortune to building institutions that serve God and form faithful Catholic leaders. Join us as Tom Monaghan discusses the true meaning of success, the battle against pride, and how faith in Christ transformed his life from the pizza kitchen to a mission of evangelization and Catholic education. -Support Our Sponsors-<a href="https://bit.ly/3UaE1t2" target="_blank">Ave Maria Mutual Funds</a> - the largest family of Catholic mutual funds in the U.S. Launched in 2001, their six no-load funds adhere to strong pro-life and pro-family values.<a href="https://bit.ly/44nYYUw" target="_blank">Scapulars.com</a> - Divine protection in life and in death with the most durable, comfortable scapulars ever made. -Support Our Mission-<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/donate" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Donate Here</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/events/" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Book an Event</a> -Follow Us On Social Media-Facebook:&nbsp;<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast</a>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast</a>YouTube:&nbsp;<a href="https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast</a> ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction 03:26 Start of Interview09:58 Importance of the Marines in his Success14:22 Importance of Knowing What is Most Important in Life17:53 How He Started Dominoes 21:09 Did Someone Say Delivery?26:38 Franchising33:54 Purchasing the Detroit Tigers37:32 Millionaires Vow to Poverty 42:42 Importance of Mass + Eucharist44:43 Tom's Catholic Philanthropy 48:34 Goal of Ave Maria 51:08 Legatus 52:56 Tom's Advice to Someone Starting Out54:20 Tom's perspective on Faith
