Lent: Do or do not, there is no try!

Today Deacon Harold & Ace are sharing from the Beacon of Truth Playlist talking about the song "All God's People" by Queen.
The purpose is not to over spiritualize songs but ones that have spoken to us and maybe you and what we can learn from them as we apply wisdom and truth to our faith. Also looking at Soulful Psalm 98.
Here's the song in case you haven't heard it: youtu.be/guPpf_gaESE?si=OyTief_foE75j3Qn

<h2>Peter Stockland, Montreal Québec Canada</h2>
Joining us in the Pub all the way from Montréal, Québec is Peter Stockland who would have nothing better than a good Irish Catholic Whiskey, Jameson. &nbsp;&nbsp;Having been in a pub in Belfast, that was the only thing they served. &nbsp;Sean agrees that Jameson is in order and pours himself a dram of the Black Barrel.
Did you know that the Irish take their Church bells seriously but their water of life even more. &nbsp;In the 19th Century St. Malachy’s Church in Belfast had the largest bell in Belfast that when it rang the whole land shook and trembled. &nbsp;So much so that the vibration disturbed the whiskey in the nearby distillery. &nbsp;So they took the bell down. &nbsp;Whiskey, the water of life.
Many may have asked who is Peter Stockland, we know him as a man of faith in a world that is so totally dismissive of it that it is a wonder that the waters of faith ebb so deeply within him. &nbsp;Hear about the insane world view held in journalism and how we are called to face obstacles like men. &nbsp;Peter shows us the glory in the Church’s present day suffering and how we need to discipline ourselves to see the face of our suffering God in others.

A Dram with Peter Stockland

Intro to the 5 ways with Karlo Broussard

What Happens When We Die? | The Creed (Pt. 11) | DM In this season finale and the last episode in our series on the Creed, Dave and Mario discuss the four last things: death, judgment, heaven, and hell. They dive into the differences between the particular and general judgments, what happens at the end of the world when Jesus returns as Judge, and what the glories of life with our resurrected bodies in the new heaven and earth will be. We will also discuss the importance of praying for the souls of our deceased loved ones, the tragic fate of the damned, and the need to be prepared every moment for meeting the Lord.Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David Hajduk- Sponsors -Logos - Verbum Takes Your Catholic Bible Study from Stumped to Stellar : <a href="https://bit.ly/3yYJZV3">LEARN MORE</a>Real Estate for Life - 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. <a href="https://bit.ly/3tTH3qR">LEARN MORE</a>- Resources -Take our podcast survey to help us make A Reason for Hope better for YOU!<a href="https://www.areasonforhopepodcast.com/">www.areasonforhopepodcast.com</a> Visit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">www.arrayofhope.org</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">watch.arrayofhope.net</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

What Happens When We Die? | The Creed (Pt. 11) | DM

“Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; for His love endures forever.” The lesson for us is that God has ways of rewarding those who are generous with what they have received from Him.  We come together this morning in the ultimate act of thanksgiving, the Holy Eucharist, which literally means “thanksgiving.”  Deacon Harold talks about this and also looking into Soulful Psalm 145:1-9.

<h2>About our drink: Rock Oyster Blended Malt</h2>
Rock Oyster Blended Malt Whisky
Joining Douglas Laing&#8217;s range of blended malts in early 2015, Rock Oyster is a magnificent maritime marvel made with single malts distilled on Scottish islands including Orkney, Jura, Arran and Islay. As ever from Douglas Laing, this tasty, coastal dram is very handsomely presented from top to bottom (looks like Sam will have to add an oyster to his imagination of <a href="https://www.masterofmalt.com/Blog/post/The-Best-Laid-Plans-of-Mice-and-Malt-Sometimes-Go-Pretty-Well.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Douglas Laing Force</a>).
In reference to Rock Oyster, Douglas Laing&#8217;s Managing Director Fred Laing said &#8220;If I could select just one dram to transport the whisky enthusiast to the Islands of Scotland, it would be this one.&#8221; So go on and take a coastal trip by way of wonderful blended malt Scotch whisky.
Nose: Wind-swept beaches, coastal peat and a hint of ash, complimented by touches of green fruit.
Palate: Yet more sea breeze, with oat cake crumbs, growing spicy notes of cracked black pepper and a deft whiff of peat smoke. Hints of vanilla here and there.
Finish: Salinity lasts on the finish along with peppery warmth.

7 Secrets That Can Make a Man Holy

<h2>David and Pamela Niles join Mike and Alicia Hernon on The Messy Family Project</h2>
“Ultimately, only bountiful marriages can transform our domestic churches into sanctuaries for this liturgy of love; and it is this liturgy by which we sanctify our daily lives and the world” ~ Living Beyond Sunday

We have been blessed to work with many great ministries serving marriage and family and The Catholic Man Show is one of them!  David Niles and Adam Minihan, along with their wives Pamela and Haylee have written a great book for Catholic families called Living Beyond Sunday; Making Your Home a Holy Place  and we were thrilled to talk to them about it on this podcast.  David and Pamela joined us for this interview in which we talk about the book, but also about how they started out as a family, why they wrote this book, and how it can help other families in their walk with Christ.  Just like our work at MFP, this book is full of truth, but also very practical and real. Listen in to be encouraged and inspired!

Messy Family Podcast: David and Pamela Niles

On this Good Friday, we share Bishop Barron's “Tre Ore” reflections, which Cardinal Dolan invited him to deliver in 2012 at St. Patrick’s Cathedral (New York, NY). The “Tre Ore,” or Three Hours’ Agony, is a liturgical service held on Good Friday from noon until three o'clock to commemorate the Passion of Christ, and includes a series of homilies on the seven last words spoken by Christ. Bishop's seven reflections last around 90 minutes, so we encourage you to listen to them sometime today. <ul> <li>1:24 - Introduction</li> <li>5:31 - First Word ("Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.")</li> <li>18:11 - Second Word ("Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.")</li> <li>34:08 - Third Word ("Woman, behold your son... Behold your mother.")</li> <li>46:36 - Fourth Word ("My God, my God, why have your forsaken me?")</li> <li>1:02:49 - Fifth Word ("I thirst.")</li> <li>1:12:43 - Sixth Word ("Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.")</li> <li>1:20:44 - Seventh Word ("It is finished.")</li> <li>1:28:10 - Conclusion</li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bishopbarron">Become a patron</a> and get some great perks for helping, like free books, bonus content, and more.

Red Pill to Catholic: Embracing True Patriarchy (Mike Pantile)

Fatherhood

Objection 1. It would seem that the saints in heaven do not pray for us. A man's action is more meritorious for himself than for others. But the saints in heaven do not merit for themselves, neither do they pray for themselves, since they are already established in the term. Neither therefore do they pray for us. Objection 2. Further, the saints conform their will to God perfectly, so that they will only what God wills. Now what God wills is always fulfilled. Therefore it would be useless for the saints to pray for us. Objection 3. Further, just as the saints in heaven are above, so are those in Purgatory, for they can no longer sin. Now those in Purgatory do not pray for us, on the contrary we pray for them. Therefore neither do the saints in heaven pray for us. Objection 4. Further, if the saints in heaven pray for us, the prayers of the higher saints would be more efficacious; and so we ought not to implore the help of the lower saints' prayers but only of those of the higher saints. Objection 5. Further, the soul of Peter is not Peter. If therefore the souls of the saints pray for us, so long as they are separated from their bodies, we ought not to call upon Saint Peter, but on his soul, to pray for us: yet the Church does the contrary. The saints therefore do not pray for us, at least before the resurrection. On the contrary, It is written (2 Maccabees 15:14): "This is . . . he that prayeth much for the people, and for all the holy city, Jeremias the prophet of God." I answer that, As Jerome says (Cont. Vigilant. 6), the error of Vigilantius consisted in saying that "while we live, we can pray one for another; but that after we are dead, none of our prayers for others can be heard, seeing that not even the martyrs' prayers are granted when they pray for their blood to be avenged." But this is absolutely false, because, since prayers offered for others proceed from charity, as stated above (Articles 7 and 8), the greater the charity of the saints in heaven, the more they pray for wayfarers, since the latter can be helped by prayers: and the more closely they are united to God, the more are their prayers efficacious: for the Divine order is such that lower beings receive an overflow of the excellence of the higher, even as the air receives the brightness of the sun. Wherefore it is said of Christ (Hebrews 7:25): "Going to God by His own power . . . to make intercession for us" [Vulgate: 'He is able to save for ever them that come to God by Him, always living to make intercession for us.']. Hence Jerome says (Cont. Vigilant. 6): "If the apostles and martyrs while yet in the body and having to be solicitous for themselves, can pray for others, how much more now that they have the crown of victory and triumph." Reply to Objection 1. The saints in heaven, since they are blessed, have no lack of bliss, save that of the body's glory, and for this they pray. But they pray for us who lack the ultimate perfection of bliss: and their prayers are efficacious in impetrating through their previous merits and through God's acceptance. Reply to Objection 2. The saints impetrate what ever God wishes to take place through their prayers: and they pray for that which they deem will be granted through their prayers according to God's will. Reply to Objection 3. Those who are in Purgatory though they are above us on account of their impeccability, yet they are below us as to the pains which they suffer: and in this respect they are not in a condition to pray, but rather in a condition that requires us to pray for them. Reply to Objection 4. It is God's will that inferior beings should be helped by all those that are above them, wherefore we ought to pray not only to the higher but also to the lower saints; else we should have to implore the mercy of God alone. Nevertheless it happens sometime that prayers addressed to a saint of lower degree are more efficacious, either because he is implored with greater devotion, or because God wishes to make known his sanctity. Reply to Objection 5. It is because the saints while living merited to pray for us, that we invoke them under the names by which they were known in this life, and by which they are better known to us: and also in order to indicate our belief in the resurrection, according to the saying of Exodus 3:6, "I am the God of Abraham," etc. 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.

35: Should we pray to the saints in heaven?

Jesus calls Matthew to be His disciple and rebukes the misguided Pharisees. Every Catholic Man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of Counsel from the Holy Spirit so he can receive and proclaim Christ’s Truth and Mercy and by building the Virtue of Diligence so he can always strive for continual conversion in his life.

Episode 123 - Jesus calls Matthew to be His disciple and rebukes the misguided Pharisees - Saturday after Ash Wednesday - February 17, 2024 - Lk 5:27-32

He ran cross country track as a student-athlete, has coached flag football, and – now residing in Florida – continues to play competitive co-ed softball. He is a retired New York City Police Department detective who has written six books over the last six years, the latest of which just came out in the latter part of June and is titled, "Confessions of a Catholic High School Graduate." He also tells a fun story here about playing wiffleball in front of an eventual A-list celebrity.

Baby Carriers and Natural Family Planning

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss escapism as one of the biggest roadblocks to the spiritual life of men today.

Escapism

On today’s podcast, I'm joined by Deacon Jeff Drzycimski to talk about those times when we feel bogged down in our daily routines. It’s like we’re checking off the to-do list and wondering where God is in all of this.

In this episode, we learn that:
 - When we get bogged down in a bunch of tasks, we’re depriving ourselves of joy.
 - Looking at each daily task to determine how we are using it to glorify God restores that joy.
 - If a task does not bring glory to God, we should ask ourselves why we’re doing it.

The concept of Redemption is that the relationship we should have had with God—that went fundamentally awry through Original Sin—has now been reestablished in and through Jesus Christ.  So Who IS Jesus? Deacon Harold answers that deep question today on Beacon of Truth. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 72.

Who IS Jesus?

He was Varsity Basketball Coach for seven years at The Boys' Latin School of Maryland. On the business side, he joined forces with NBA legend Walt “The Wizard” Williams to assist former NFL player Wale Ogunleye with the UBS Sports and Entertainment Division. Together, they revolutionized wealth management for elite clients, including the National Basketball Players Association, and brokered historic deals such as connecting Players TV Media Group — a collective powered by icons like Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, and Kyrie Irving — with UBS. He is also a U.S. Army combat veteran, and he demonstrated a true Christian heart by quitting his seven-figure job to create a social impact company that focuses on financial education for the underprivileged.

82: Aquinas Vs Bonaventure over the beginning of the universe, and, for some random reason, Friedrich Nietzsche!

Through hospitality, the first pillar of Stewardship, we become a visible sign of Christ's love for others. This video shares the story of Kevin Rathert, who was in need of a double-organ transplant due to a rare disease, and how through the generosity of another family he was able to come to know Christ's love in a new way.

Hospitality: Kevin Rathert's Story

Leadership has many definitions but all of them have one thing in common:  people have to follow.  Regardless of how good your idea is or how passionate you are about it, if you can’t bring other people along with you, you will not be able to lead successfully.  But effectively sharing your vision and your passion is more than just a natural talent.  It’s a skill that can be studied and harnessed.  And what is more, it is an especial gift that Christ gives to the world through his Christian leaders.

DGT Episode 207 - Lighting The Fire - AUDEO Part 5

In this week&#39;s episode of Catholic ReCon, testimonies from reverts and converts, guest John Edwards of Just a Guy in the Pew Ministries shares his heartbreaking story. In the end, he shows that redemption is possible against all odds. Praise God!
 
▶From John&#39;s site:
&quot;Like so many men, I vowed to be a better person, husband and father time and time again. It wasn’t until I felt the presence of Jesus as I walked out of a jail cell that I realized how much I wanted to change and how I could only do that with His help. Since that time, I’ve taken a journey to grow closer to Christ. I invite other Catholic men to accompany me as we follow the path God has set before us.&quot;

Cocaine Addict Becomes On-Fire Catholic | Christian Conversion Story

Depression and anxiety have exploded in the past decade in the United States, especially, though not exclusively, among young people. Tragically, anxiety and depression frequently contribute to suicide and suicide attempts, with young men in particular taking much of the brunt of this epidemic of self-harm. Many suffer in silence, with neither family members nor friends aware of their mental, spiritual, and sometimes even physical anguish. What can we do to reintroduce hope, purpose, peace, and perhaps even joy into the lives of those who are feeling lost? What can both Catholic belief and practice offer in particular?   A listener asks: How can I help my kids return to church? 00:00 | Introduction 01:51 | Bishop Barron visits Catholic schools 02:56 | Addressing the US depression epidemic 07:57 | The insufficiency of non-spiritual tools for depression 14:02 | Secularism’s role in depression 17:32 | 1) Faith frees us from the illusion of control 19:09 | 2) Faith offers us metaphysical hope 20:38 | A Christian response to hopeless feelings 21:46 | 3) Faith moves us to focus on the here and now, not on future worries 25:25 | 4) Faith helps us live for the good of the other 28:07 | 5) Faith liberates us from fear of death and the insignificance of labors 30:18 | Distinguishing dark nights of the soul from depression 32:37 | Practical advice for those in the dark 34:33 | Listener question 37:20 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Anxiety and depression stats: <a href= "https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr213.pdf?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT" data-uw-pdf-br="2" data-uw-pdf-doc= "">https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr213.pdf</a></li> <li>Suicide stats: <a href= "https://wisqars.cdc.gov/fatal-injury-trends/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://wisqars.cdc.gov/fatal-injury-trends/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT">https://wisqars.cdc.gov/fatal-injury-trends/</a></li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/?tblci=GiBXvHfcJX4oZg-wmduPKb324kS5wUYHx9RAQRSDmWbwoCDNulooifjrjryg5PpT">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul> NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener" data-uw-rm-brl="PR" data-uw-original-href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" aria-label= "Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

WOF 114: Three Great Spiritual Athletes

Much has been said today about the need for leaders to be strong.  But usually, the way we look at strength is in models that aren’t necessarily successful in every kind of struggle.  One hidden kind of strength is the strength that Our Lord and Saint Joseph showed us, resiliency.
