So much of what makes a leader successful comes from their ability to take people where they need to go.  If we don’t have vision then we really are the blind leading the blind.  But oddly enough when it comes to shaping our culture it seems that many people don’t know what we should be aiming at.  The world will indicate many different values as its’ arbiter of success, but what does Jesus ask for from us?  What does our Lord ask for from a follower of His in the culture in which we live?  How do we aim at the right things?

About our drink:

About the Topic:
Eighth Rule
Let one who is in desolation work to be in patience, which is contrary to the vexations which come to him, and let him think that he will soon be consoled, diligently using the means against such desolation, as is said in the sixth rule.
Ninth Rule
There are three principal causes for which we find ourselves desolate. The first is because we are tepid, slothful, or negligent in our spiritual exercises, and so through our faults spiritual consolation withdraws from us. The second, to try us and see how much we are and how much we extend ourselves in his service and praise without so much payment of consolations and increased graces. The third, to give us true recognition and understanding so that we may interiorly feel that it is not ours to attain or maintain increased devotion, intense love, tears or any other spiritual consolation, but that all is the gift and grace of God our Lord, and so that we may not build a nest in something belonging to another, raising our mind in some pride or vainglory, attributing to ourselves the devotion or the other parts of the spiritual consolation.
Tenth Rule
Let the one who is in consolation think how he will conduct himself in the desolation which will come after, taking new strength for that time.
Eleventh Rule
Let one who is consoled seek to humble himself and lower himself as much as he can, thinking of how little he is capable in the time of desolation without such grace or consolation. On the contrary, let one who is in desolation think that he can do much with God’s sufficient grace to resist all his enemies, taking strength in his Creator and Lord.
Twelfth Rule
The enemy acts like a woman in being weak when faced with strength and strong when faced with weakness. For, as it is proper to a woman, when she is fighting with some man, to lose heart and to flee when the man confronts her firmly, and, on the contrary, if the man begins to flee, losing heart, the anger, vengeance and ferocity of the woman grow greatly and know no bounds, in the same way, it is proper to the enemy to weaken and lose heart, fleeing and ceasing his temptations when the person who is exercising himself in spiritual things confronts the temptations of the enemy firmly, doing what is diametrically opposed to them; and, on the contrary, if the person who is exercising himself begins to be afraid and lose heart in suffering the temptations, there is no beast so fierce on the face of the earth as the enemy of human nature in following out his damnable intention with such growing malice.
Thirteenth Rule
Likewise he conducts himself as a false lover in wishing to remain secret and not be revealed. For a dissolute man who, speaking with evil intention, makes dishonorable advances to a daughter of a good father or to a wife of a good husband, wishes his words and persuasions to be secret, and the contrary displeases him very much, when the daughter reveals to her father or the wife to her husband his false words and depraved intention, because he easily perceives that he will not be able to succeed with the undertaking begun. In the same way, when the enemy of human nature brings his wiles and persuasions to the just soul, he wishes and desires that they be received and kept in secret; but when one reveals them to one’s good confessor or to another spiritual person, who knows his deceits and malicious designs, it weighs on him very much, because he perceives that he will not be able to succeed with the malicious undertaking he has begun, since his manifest deceits have been revealed.
Fourteenth Rule
Likewise he conducts himself as a leader, intent upon conquering and robbing what he desires. For, just as a captain and leader of an army in the field, pitching his camp and exploring the fortifications and defenses of a stronghold, attacks it at the weakest point, in the same way the enemy of human nature, roving about, looks in turn at all our theological, cardinal, and moral virtues; and where he finds us weakest and most in need for our eternal salvation, there he attacks us and attempts to take us.

Working Through Political Thoughts

The Christian tradition has always recommended that a minister of the gospel live a life of material simplicity.  Such a life would guarantee the virtues necessary for proclaiming the gospel in purity.  But what does the Church have to say for those engaged in the public sphere of commerce?  If a business leader tries to evangelize with their business or in the context of their leadership are they obliged to embrace poverty?  What role does poverty play in the life of a non ordained Christian leader today?  Let’s continue our study and find out.

A Dram with Dan Donaldson

This weekly podcast series hosted by Sean Lynn invites you to his distinctively Irish Canadian Pub studio in sharing A Dram with Friends where we talk about faith, family, food and fun. Pull up a chair and Sean will pour you a drink of his, or your, favourite Whiskey. Distilled alcohol in Latin is ‘aqua vitae’, water of life. The Latin translates in Gaelic to ‘usisge beatha’, also water of life. Whisky is therefore water of life. Jesus would give you living water if you ask (Jn 4:10) and He later says: “Let anyone who thirsts come to me and drink.” Join Sean for A Dram with Friends.

God is in the Chaos

In the grand theme of life, we are called to be great men. Throughout our journey, we encounter individuals of deep character and integrity, men who have realized their fullest potential. When we encounter such individuals, we aspire to emulate their virtues, desiring a life that mirrors their example. Yet, when we turn our gaze inward and reflect on our own lives amidst the constant struggle and the haze of uncertainty, grappling with our shortcomings and lack of motivation, we can easily succumb to discouragement and complacency. Today's episode unveils 8 pillars of strength and virtue, each building off the other to order your life to become the man you were created to be - a man of greatness.✅ We love to answer questions on the show.

Just recently, Catholics were devastated to learn of another case of sexual abuse, this time involving Jean Vanier, the esteemed founder of L’Arche and a man once considered to be a living saint. Vanier, who passed away last year, was accused of sexually assaulting six women in France, using his religious position to abuse and manipulate them. How do we make sense of all this? How can a man who produced enormous good fruit fail so abysmally? And how should Catholics respond to this sort of abuse, and prevent it from happening again? Bishop Barron offers advice on all these questions and more. A listener asks how energetic young people, passionate about apologetics and evangelization, can take their study to the next level.

WOF 221: When Church Leaders Fail

The anticipation of Christ's coming fills us with joy because Christmas reminds us that we belong to Christ. Living in the light of Christ means emptying ourselves so that God can fill us. It means exposing the weakest parts of who we are so that God can make us strong. It means letting go of the steering wheel and letting God drive.  Deacon Harold opens up more as we get into Week 2 of Advent. Also looking into Soulful Psalm 102:1-6.

Word of God Wednesday: 2nd Sunday of Advent

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob may sound like they recorded this episode using the drive-thru speaker at Burger King, but they didn’t. Honest. They discuss the passion play at Oberammergau, youth ministry, the president of Hungary’s visit to Franciscan, and the “supreme good of knowing Christ Jesus” (Phil. 3:8).

Philippians 3:2-11

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob talk about Mikaela Shiffrin (a USA alpine skier who just broke a record), journalism in a post-truth world, sharing the faith with others, and the cure of the man born blind (John 9).

Post-Truth

We all know the value of diplomacy.  We all know the value of consideration and tolerance.  There is also a value in the ability to speak clearly what is on our mind in a persuasive fashion.  St. Peter demonstrates this the day of Pentecost and Fr. Nathan wants to look at that with you!

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.

Dr. Ray on Disciplining Children – Episode 149

Friends, is the Christmas story little more than a sweet, saccharine tale about a cute baby being born? Or do the Gospels present something more subversive and revolutionary, a battle between two great kings? That’s what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today’s “Word on Fire Show” episode. A listener asks, whose body is the Body of Christ in the Eucharist? Infant, crucified, or resurrected Jesus? 00:00 | Intro 01:31 | Bishop Barron at <a href= "https://goodnewsconference.com/?_ga=2.228339933.1159895523.1702397843-1034457484.1641079730&_gac=1.251508980.1701361360.Cj0KCQiAgqGrBhDtARIsAM5s0_m_h60mpNDdFxHSrQdMFgZ6CGdOCJPgxYFNFvpcp4Ucren7wmIYregaAkp3EALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "Good News Conference - opens in new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link= "">Good News Conference</a> 03:56 | The surprising subversiveness of the Christmas story 05:44 | Christmas details—Caesar and his census 08:31 | Christmas details—“no room in the inn” 10:37 | Christmas details—swaddling clothes 12:06 | Christmas details—laid in a manger 13:36 | Christmas details—shepherds as first witnesses 15:47 | Christmas details—“do not be afraid” 18:38 | Christmas details—“heavenly host” of angels 23:47 | Why did God come as a baby? 25:16 | Listener question 26:43 | Join the <a href="https://wordonfire.org/institute" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "WOF Institute - opens in new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">WOF Institute</a> Links <ul> <li><a href="https://wordonfire.org/institute" target= "_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label= "Word on Fire Institute – Join Today! - opens in new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="">Word on Fire Institute – Join Today!</a></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.

How to Celebrate Allhallowtide and Other Popular Catholic Devotions

When you’re in charge you don’t have a cookie cutter method for guaranteeing you are doing what is right.  You have to make decisions that are difficult and uncertain and you have to make them every day.  Pope St. Gregory the Great understood this because he had to do the same thing every day.  And in his book, “The Rule For Shepherds” he gives us insight on how to bridge the paradoxes and find a way to leading our people with a unified vision despite the variety of decisions that fill our day.

WOF 466: Bishop Barron on the Theology of Balthasar (3 of 12)

David Rinaldi journeyed from Minnesota to “put out into the deep” with Jeff Schiefelbein, Paul Kolker, and Nick Bezner at the tiny table. As the President of NET Ministries, David leads a joyful and faith-filled team that challenges young Catholics, through relational ministry, to follow Christ and embrace a life of community in the Church. With over 25 years of experience as a Catholic leader and speaker, David empowers their staff and missionaries to fulfill Jesus’ command to go and make disciples.NET Ministries (aka National Evangelization Team) started as a group of college students in St. Paul, Minnesota, who were empowered by the Holy Spirit and started retreats. It only grew from there. After 43 years of NET, the ministry grew throughout the United States and has been replicated in Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Uganda, and Australia. Former NET missionaries continue to be involved in their parishes and many join Religious Life with more than 80 Priests and 3 Bishops. During their training, NET volunteers learn formation, reconciliation, uplifting speech, the power of being heard, and the most efficient way to set up chairs at NET events. Join NET as they set up a regional hub in Dallas, Texas.

What Exactly is Grace Anyway? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

"God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination." - St. Augustine

This week on the show, John and Victor discuss how important it is to own up to your sins. They dive into the impact of blame, guilt and shame and how it can become overbearing. They also discuss how God does not want us to wallow in our pity or our sins. Finally, they talk about how you can later prevent your sins once you understand why you are committing them. How will you learn from your mistakes? Will you let God be the ultimate judge?

John and Victor discuss:

-The impact of our sins

-How to learn from our sins through God

-How guilt and shame can hurt us

-What it means to forgive ourselves

Learning From Your Mistakes

"Where your treasure is, there also will your heart be." Matthew 6:21

Join John and Victor in the Lenten journey on the 7 Deadly Sins this week as they discuss the sin of Greed. Our possessions, time, and talents are gifts from the Lord and how often we allow our attachments to these things to control us and rob us of our joy and living a life of freedom with the Lord. Hoard not the things of the world, but virtue, prayer, time with Him. How do we combat greed? Charity. Generosity. Seeing everything as a gift. "The greedy man is really not rich, but poor. He does not control his money but is controlled by it. He does not possess his wealth but is possessed by it. He may have many things, yet for him he has all too little." ~ St. Anthony of Padua 

Scripture passages to pray with:
-1 Timothy 6:10
-Matthew 6:19-21
-Luke 12:16-34

In this episode: 
-Letting go of fear and grasping for possessions and turning in trust to the Lord
-Not letting our possessions possess us
-"Everything is disappointing except the Redemptive Love of our Lord." ~ Archbishop Fulton Sheen 
-No one can serve two masters...you cannot serve God and money (Matthew 6:24)

Lenten Series- Your Whole Heart Pt.4 - Greed

Today we share the first half of Bishop Baron's talk titled "Knocking Holes in the Buffered Self: Approaches to the Question of God." He gave the talk at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary as part of their Kenrick Lecture series. Many—especially the young—in today’s time have absented themselves from the practice of faith. Our culture and time is anomalous in the extreme, in that it’s the first ever to widely entertain God’s nonexistence. Christians, at least in the West, are facing a practically unprecedented crisis of disaffiliation. But there are paths out of the cave, and that's what Bishop Barron reveals.

Because the doctor of Catholic truth ought not only to teach the proficient, but also to instruct beginners (according to the Apostle: As unto little ones in Christ, I gave you milk to drink, not meat -- 1 Corinthians 3:1-2), we purpose in this book to treat of whatever belongs to the Christian religion, in such a way as may tend to the instruction of beginners. We have considered that students in this doctrine have not seldom been hampered by what they have found written by other authors, partly on account of the multiplication of useless questions, articles, and arguments, partly also because those things that are needful for them to know are not taught according to the order of the subject matter, but according as the plan of the book might require, or the occasion of the argument offer, partly, too, because frequent repetition brought weariness and confusion to the minds of readers. Endeavouring to avoid these and other like faults, we shall try, by God's help, to set forth whatever is included in thissacred doctrine as briefly and clearly as the matter itself may allow.

<div></div>

There’s a common thread among thousands of formerly sinful people we now call Saints.

They had a relationship with God.

Which then inspired them to ‘set the world on fire’ as Catherine of Sienna put it.

But, more specifically, it meant they put in the time.

They sat with the Lord. Spoke with Him. Listened to Him.

Daily.

They unveiled their hearts and wounds and problems to Him.

They offered him thanks and gratitude.

They left their sufferings with Him on the altar.

They begged for His help.

My question to you: are you putting in the time?

I’m not talking about time to just talk at Him or sit in church making a mental grocery list. I’m talking about time to build a consistent, honest relationship. Time to speak, and time to listen.

Whether you want to pray a daily holy hour or hit up adoration once a week, I have a guide here from the makers of Exodus 90 specifically about praying a Holy Hour.

Inside, you’ll find a simple breakdown that shows you how to structure your time with the Lord.

How the Rosary Worked a Miracle in the Midst of COVID

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob make World Cup predictions, argue over whether people still throw rice/birdseed at weddings, talk about finding hope in death, and discuss how Jesus is our “model of holiness.”

Why Did the Word Become Flesh? (Part 3)

Live on: March 27, 2021 from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm central time.
This year marks the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St. Joseph as the universal patron of the Catholic Church. In his apostolic letter Patris Corde (“With a Father’s Heart”), Pope Francis urges the faithful to imitate the virtues of the Foster Father of Jesus, describing St. Joseph as a resourceful and loving father who protected the Holy Family and thus became “a minister of salvation” for all. We can draw much spiritual and practical wisdom by meditating on the life and virtues of St. Joseph, especially as he is depicted in scripture. Besides Mary, no other saint has as many titles that refer to his spiritual gifts and holy identity. (The Litany of St. Joseph lists 24 different forms of address.)

Summit Topics –

We Need St. Joseph and His Virtues: The crucial need for the masculine genius through the lens of the cardinal virtues, particularly temperance and fortitude, as manifested in the life of St. Joseph.

Virtues of St. Joseph Point us to Christ: Joseph was a virtuous man in the way he cared for his family, practiced his faith and listened to messengers from God, the virtue he displayed is best understood in relation to Jesus Christ.

About Our Speakers –

Parts of the global Church have a very different kind of challenge on their hands than we do in the West: how to handle explosive growth. In many parts of Africa, the Church is running out of room in their seminaries, convents, and monasteries because of rising vocations, and the laity are collectively practicing their faith in ways that put the Church in the West to shame. In Nigeria, upwards of 94 percent of Catholics go to Mass every week, while the U.S. can’t even reach 30 percent in weekly Mass attendance among Catholics. What explains this wide discrepancy? What are we in the West getting so wrong about evangelization, and what is the Church in Africa getting so right?

WOF 145: The Gospel of the Family (Part 1 of 2)

Friends, why is art important? An uptick in vandalism against famous pieces of art, calling to mind outbreaks of iconoclasm throughout history, has raised questions about art’s value and purpose. On today’s “Word on Fire Show,” I discuss with Brandon Vogt why art matters. A listener asks, is God’s true nature love or truth? What’s the interplay between those two?
