WOF 302: How to Keep Our Kids Catholic

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 clearly proclaim that He is God and mysteriously avoid the Jews attempt to stone Him to death.   We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to build the Virtue of Studiousness so he can both study and live out the Word of God every day of his life.   We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to grow in the Virtue of Obedience so he is always obedient to the fullness of what Christ’s Holy Catholic Church proclaims.

Today, Deacon Harold opens the door to his own relationships with Mary bring a better understanding of who she is to the rest of us. Also looking into the Soulful Psalms with Psalm 87.

My Relationship with the Blessed Virgin Mary

The journey continues as John and Victor dive deeper into the 7 Deadly Sins. This week's focus is Lust, the "disordered desire for or inordinate enjoyment of sexual pleasure" (Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC], paragraph 2351). According to Archbishop Fulton Sheen, the key word is inordinate. God Himself associated pleasure with the flesh. Pleasure becomes sinful when we use it as a means instead of an end. Lust distorts the gift of sexuality and causes us to gaze only upon ourselves and our desires. What is the remedy? "The only real escape from the demands of the flesh is to find something more than the flesh to love" (Archbishop Fulton Sheen).  

Scripture passages to pray with:
-Matthew 5:28
-1 Thessalonians 4:3-5
-Romans 8:6 
-Psalm 51:10-12

In this episode: 
-Lust is selfish or perverted love 
-Acknowledging the gift of our sexuality 
-Chastity,"the successful integration of sexuality within the person" (CCC 2337), is the virtue that combats lust
-There is hope! Call on Jesus and His Mother, turn your gaze from yourself to the ones you love, & view temptation as an opportunity to choose the good

Casting Nets

Friends, today on the “Word on Fire Show,” we conclude our series of discussions called “Understanding the Present Moment.” Brandon Vogt and I have examined four massively influential figures who together help explain our present moment, how we arrived at where we are today. The ideologies undergirding much of the unrest in our culture stem from these four thinkers: Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault. Once we understand these figures and their key ideas, we will recognize them everywhere and be prepared to engage today’s challenges. In today’s fourth and final discussion, we focus on Michel Foucault, perhaps the least known of the four but maybe the one with the greatest direct impact on the way many in our culture think today. A listener asks, how do we understand God as bring if he’s both Father and Son?

WOF 349: Understanding the Present Moment #4 (Michel Foucault)

Today we’re talking about Advent and what it means for contemporary Catholics. Yes, Advent is the season we prepare for the celebration of Jesus’ birth on Christmas. But the truth is that we should welcome Christ into our hearts each day of the year and be ready for His glorious second coming.

In this episode we discover that:
 - It’s difficult to avoid the commercial aspects of Christmas.
 - Our job is to respond to Christ’s sacrifice with belief, hope, and action.
 - Prayer and sacraments support us on our faith journey throughout the year.

Why Does God Love Mary So Much? + Q&A w/ Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

EP 114 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Bishop Barron recently visited the University of St. Thomas in Houston, where he had the great privilege of preaching at their baccalaureate Mass. In his homily, shared today on the podcast, he said we must remember that the primary purpose of a Catholic university is evangelization, the proclamation of the lordship of Jesus Christ. Therefore, education must equip and form graduates to sanctify the world, so that the light of Christ can be brought into workplaces, classrooms, and trades.

A Dram with Fr Fred Monk

Even though written fifteen hundred years ago, Pope St. Gregory The Great’s landmark treatise on the rule of shepherds continues to provide valuable insight to us today on what it means to lead.  Notably he says that leaders have to be virtuous.  Why is this?  What’s the role of virtue in leadership?  This last class in this series closes out our treatment of this great document by comparing the virtuous rule with the rule of the wicked.

WOF 135: Bishop Barron LIVE Q&A on the Mass

Thanks for listening! Here's the text I read from the Summa II-II, Q.2 (articles 1,2, and 3). I answer that, "To think" can be taken in three ways. First, in a general way for any kind of actual consideration of the intellect, as Augustine observes (De Trin. xiv, 7): "By understanding I mean now the faculty whereby we understand when thinking." Secondly, "to think" is more strictly taken for that consideration of the intellect, which is accompanied by some kind of inquiry, and which precedes the intellect's arrival at the stage of perfection that comes with the certitude of sight. On this sense Augustine says (De Trin. xv, 16) that "the Son of God is not called the Thought, but the Word of God. When our thought realizes what we know and takes form therefrom, it becomes our word. Hence the Word of God must be understood without any thinking on the part of God, for there is nothing there that can take form, or be unformed." In this way thought is, properly speaking, the movement of the mind while yet deliberating, and not yet perfected by the clear sight of truth. Since, however, such a movement of the mind may be one of deliberation either about universal notions, which belongs to the intellectual faculty, or about particular matters, which belongs to the sensitive part, hence it is that "to think" is taken secondly for an act of the deliberating intellect, and thirdly for an act of the cogitative power. Accordingly, if "to think" be understood broadly according to the first sense, then "to think with assent," does not express completely what is meant by "to believe": since, in this way, a man thinks with assent even when he considers what he knows by science [Science is certain knowledge of a demonstrated conclusion through its demonstration.], or understands. If, on the other hand, "to think" be understood in the second way, then this expresses completely the nature of the act of believing. For among the acts belonging to the intellect, some have a firm assent without any such kind of thinking, as when a man considers the things that he knows by science, or understands, for this consideration is already formed. But some acts of the intellect have unformed thought devoid of a firm assent, whether they incline to neither side, as in one who "doubts"; or incline to one side rather than the other, but on account of some slight motive, as in one who "suspects"; or incline to one side yet with fear of the other, as in one who "opines." But this act "to believe," cleaves firmly to one side, in which respect belief has something in common with science and understanding; yet its knowledge does not attain the perfection of clear sight, wherein it agrees with doubt, suspicion and opinion. Hence it is proper to the believer to think with assent: so that the act of believing is distinguished from all the other acts of the intellect, which are about the true or the false. (Article 1)   I answer that, The act of any power or habit depends on the relation of that power or habit to its object. Now the object of faith can be considered in three ways. For, since "to believe" is an act of the intellect, in so far as the will moves it to assent, as stated above (Article 1, Reply to Objection 3), the object of faith can be considered either on the part of the intellect, or on the part of the will that moves the intellect. If it be considered on the part of the intellect, then two things can be observed in the object of faith, as stated above (II-II:1:1). One of these is the material object of faith, and in this way an act of faith is "to believe in a God"; because, as stated above (II-II:1:1) nothing is proposed to our belief, except in as much as it is referred to God. The other is the formal aspect of the object, for it is the medium on account of which we assent to such and such a point of faith; and thus an act of faith is "to believe God," since, as stated above (II-II:1:1) the formal object of faith is the First Truth, to Which man gives his adhesion, so as to assent to Its sake to whatever he believes. Thirdly, if the object of faith be considered in so far as the intellect is moved by the will, an act of faith is "to believe in God." For the First Truth is referred to the will, through having the aspect of an end.  (Article 2) I answer that, Wherever one nature is subordinate to another, we find that two things concur towards the perfection of the lower nature, one of which is in respect of that nature's proper movement, while the other is in respect of the movement of the higher nature. Thus water by its proper movement moves towards the centre (of the earth), while according to the movement of the moon, it moves round the centre by ebb and flow. On like manner the planets have their proper movements from west to east, while in accordance with the movement of the first heaven, they have a movement from east to west. Now the created rational nature alone is immediately subordinate to God, since other creatures do not attain to the universal, but only to something particular, while they partake of the Divine goodness either in "being" only, as inanimate things, or also in "living," and in "knowing singulars," as plants and animals; whereas the rational nature, in as much as it apprehends the universal notion of good and being, is immediately related to the universal principle of being. Consequently the perfection of the rational creature consists not only in what belongs to it in respect of its nature, but also in that which it acquires through a supernatural participation of Divine goodness. Hence it was said above (I-II:3:8) that man's ultimate happiness consists in a supernatural vision of God: to which vision man cannot attain unless he be taught by God, according to John 6:45: "Every one that hath heard of the Father and hath learned cometh to Me." Now man acquires a share of this learning, not indeed all at once, but by little and little, according to the mode of his nature: and every one who learns thus must needs believe, in order that he may acquire science in a perfect degree; thus also the Philosopher remarks (De Soph. Elench. i, 2) that "it behooves a learner to believe." Hence in order that a man arrive at the perfect vision of heavenly happiness, he must first of all believe God, as a disciple believes the master who is teaching him.

158: Aquinas on the act of faith

Spokane Bishop Thomas Daly is urging Catholic voters in Washington state to oppose a proposed law that would order priests to violate the seal of confession in cases where child abuse is revealed during the sacrament. 
The bill, proposed in both houses of the state Legislature, would amend state law to require clergy to report instances of child abuse with no exemption for instances where the abuse is learned during the sacrament of penance. 
Deacon Harold shows us the Catholic response and Also looking into Soulful Psalm 31:10-14

The Seal of Confession

Converting from Atheism to Catholicism

Exorcist priest, Fr. Chad Ripperger, joins us to discuss the general entitlement belief and effeminacy pervasive in men today. We find boys moving to this state of adolescence and frankly never getting out of it. Not only is this state of existence contrary to right order, it stunts growth and keeps boys mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically trapped in immaturity. Fr. Ripperger addresses this issue by breaking down the reality of how men are raised and what can be done to actively raise our sons to be men. He then discusses how his father and his life growing up greatly influenced him in his life as an exorcist battling demons on a regular basis. This is a great conversation with practical steps we can all use.<h2>Podcast Sponsor: </h2>Exodus 90 - https://exodus90.com/catholicgentleman<h2>Links Discussed on the Show:</h2>BOOK: Shop Talk by Fr.

Lila Rose: Pro-Life Warrior

In many cases, the love of money spills over into workaholism. The impact on the family is devastating leaving the children rejected and fatherless even while dad is in the home. Mark and Jeff call upon men to do better and use “The Door” as a daily trigger point to humble themselves and enter more fully into the lives of their spouses and children.

Episode 7:  Workaholism

A few days before leaving for the 2018 Synod on Youth in Rome, Bishop Barron hosted a listening session with a group of young people at Villanova Preparatory School in his region. The goal was to invite the kids to share their ideas, desires, and concerns, so that Bishop Barron could bring those insights with him to the Synod discussions. Today we share the audio of that discussion. Enjoy! NOTE: Be sure to visit <a href= "http://wordfromrome.com">WordFromRome.com</a> to see all of Bishop Barron's daily video updates from the Synod!

WOF 148: Listening to Young People Talk About the Church

In Session 3, we saw that Don Bosco developed a system of parenting that was almost “fool proof.” How are we doing?

The majority of children under the age of 18 grow up in a home without their biological father. Fathers spend less than 5 minutes in conversation with their children during the most formative years. Have you ever heard the personal story of Mickey Mantle?

What if men chose a different path? What if we truly became “men after God’s own heart?” Then we would transform our children and our children would transform the world.

In what ways are you forming your children for success in the spiritual life?

BONUS: The Tales of Two Exorcists, Part 2

On today's Beacon of Truth, Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers is pulling from the Beacon of Truth Playlist and talking about Man in the Mirror from Michael Jackson. Plus, Soulful Psalm 11.

Playlist Edition: Man in the Mirror

Today we’re talking about something we see far too often: living with one foot in the world and one foot in the faith. It’s time to make a choice, to stop hedging our bets, and go all in with Christ.

In this episode, we share our own struggles with lukewarm faith and explore what it means to commit fully to God. We look at examples from Scripture—like Elijah calling out the people on Mount Carmel and David’s heartfelt psalm of trust—to remind us that God doesn’t want a half-hearted relationship. Advent is a time to prepare, reflect, and decide: Will we give our all to Him, or keep clinging to the distractions of the world?

Victor and I are passionate about helping you find the joy, peace, and purpose that only Christ can bring. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who’s ready to stop living a "safe" faith and start living a fulfilled one.

Don’t miss this one, and as always, share it with someone who might need to hear this message. God bless!

Episode 100: Grace amidst abortion, crystals, & psychedelics | The story of a merciful, loving God

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 the very first words of Jesus’ very first sermon, the Sermon on the Mount, in which Jesus gives men a blueprint about how to find true and lasting happiness in the Beatitudes, both in daily life now and eternal happiness in the life to come. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to set his sights on the greatness of the Beatitudes and to grow in the Virtue of Magnanimity.  We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to seek the Fruits of the Holy Spirit so he can more fully present the truth of Jesus Christ to the world.

WOF 016: Bill Nye and Science vs. Philosophy

Friends, Christians often speak of “having a personal relationship with Christ” or “knowing Jesus personally,” but what does this actually mean? Is it possible? How do we go beyond knowing about Christ to truly knowing him? That’s what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today’s “Word on Fire Show.” A listener considering conversion to Catholicism asks, how do I go about looking for a parish?

WOF 395: Knowing Jesus Personally

God is our Father (not our mother) | The Creed (Pt. 4)In this third episode in our series on The Creed, Mario and Dave continue their discussion of the First Article, moving from the conversation about the nature of God and God as Creator to the truth revealed by Jesus that God is our Father.  They discuss why God is Father (and not mother), but also what we do and do not mean by this. They also show why those who say that God being called Father is the result of prejudices of previous historical time periods are misguided.Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David Hajduk- Sponsors -<a href="https://bit.ly/44nYYUw">Scapulars.com</a> - Divine protection in life and in death with the most durable, comfortable scapulars ever made.Real Estate for Life is a multinational corporation with 1,400 experienced, faith-based agents world-wide to connect you with a Catholic service provider who shares your values.Visit their website at: <a href="https://bit.ly/3tTH3qR">realestateforlife.org</a>- Resources -Take our podcast survey to help us make A Reason for Hope better for YOU! <a href="https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com/">https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com/ </a> Visit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app: <a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

Notes of oak, white pepper, honey, peaches and raisins lingered for a while in my mouth with the predominant flavor being the white pepper that brings a subtle heat and spice to the finish.

Why a Professional Football Player Returned to the Catholic Church

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss one of the biggest roadblocks to living an authentic christian life: Duplicity

Duplicity

By now any Christian who follows events in the world knows how important it is for us to act.  The news headlines are filled with reports of things that are happening and calls for us to get involved.  On the other hand Christians are equally convinced that we need to pray.  Prayer is a part of our spiritual tradition and something our Savior commanded us to do. Is there a connection between the two?  Is there really a value to prayer when so much of our brain space is taken up by issues, and confrontations, and worry about the future.  I think there is and I want to make a case for it.

DGT Episode 261 - Making The Case For Prayer - Impact Culture For Christ Part 4

To borrow a football term, an audible is called at the last-minute when the scheduled guest doesn't show up, utilizing this episode instead to share some insights brought back from the 2nd Global Congress on Sport and Christianity. The conference took place in late October in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and this installment of CSR cites content from that event that underscore the longstanding relationship between sports and faith.
