March Madness

Bruce Lee once famously quipped that in order to win in martial arts you had to be like water.  Willing to find any crack, any way and being irresistible in your motion forward.  We see the same thing in the life of St. Peter and we see the same thing in the life of every successful business leader.  Let’s look at how this applies at our spirituality today.

Monsignor Eugene Morris | Part 1

To know our mission as leaders we need to understand the mission of Christ.  To know Christ’s mission we have no better place to look that sacred scripture where He tells us why He came to this Earth.  In this first of our series I look at His proclamation that He came to cast a fire on this Earth.

Everyone was forced to be perfectly loving all the time. It might seem like this situation would be great, but would it, really? If someone is not free to make any other choice, have they really chosen love? For love to really be love, it must be freely chosen. A person who can love must therefore be free to choose against it. Those choices inevitably result in suffering. Thankfully, we know as Christians that God has an infinite ability to transform bad into good. We can know that He provides us many paths to transform the suffering we experience into even greater joys, if we trust in Him and allow Him to guide us. We will explore what that means in this chapter.In this episode you will learn that ...■ The reasons why God allows suffering to occur in the world are linked to the free giving and receiving of love, and, with it, the advancement of our salvation.■ Since agapē requires a free choice, the possibility of suffering is the price of the possibility of love.■ God the Father empathizes with our pain, involves Himself in our lives (if we allow Him to), and guides us to His Kingdom of unconditional love.■ God allows suffering to occur in the world, but His intention is to transform it into love.■ Challenges and suffering are a call to develop our natural virtues: they often provide the impetus to grow in endurance, courage, fortitude, prudence, rationality, and temperance.■ The poor, sick, and grieving may well have more strain, stress, and pain in this life, but if they are open to faith and love, they will likely have an easier and more efficacious path to salvation.■ Beginning with His Eucharistic words and actions and concluding with His self-sacrificial Death on the Cross, Jesus revealed the highest forms of sacrificial love.

A Dram with Cale Schneider

"For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption, through which we cry, 'Abba, Father!'" - Romans 8:14-16The Holy Spirit reveals many things to us. One of the most beautiful is the Spirit revealing God as our loving Father, our "Abba - Daddy." Jesus related to his Father as Abba and never before had God been spoken of in such personal and intimate terms. God as Abba is a uniquely beautiful Christian revelation. The Spirit of Jesus desires to free us from fear and a master-slave relationship to give us a Father-Daughter or Father-Son relationship.<a href="https://wildgoose.tv/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Wild Goose Website</a> | <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hOAVbPbyXfzLijwZdhtcqa9_9bHFiff1/view?usp=drive_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Study Guide&nbsp;</a>

The Spirit of Adoption | Episode 7

What is the point of becoming Catholic? Not to memorize dogma, Not because your fiancée is Catholic but to enter into covenant relationship with God. Deacon Harold talks about an Intimate, personal, loving, and life-giving communion today as well as looking at Soulful Psalm 55.

OCIA

Brothers, we’re living in a time when manhood has been marginalized and undervalued, and it’s our duty to reclaim it. We have a dire need for brotherhood— a staggering 31% of Catholic men don't have a single friend! We men have a mandate from God on page 2 of Sacred Scripture: to serve, protect, and defend. But here’s the kicker: We can’t do it alone. Even Jesus needed help carrying His cross. We’re in a culture of compromise, where men have become too comfortable and complacent. It’s time to rise up and lead with courage, just like Matathias did during the epic wars of the Maccabees. We need to a new generation of Godly men. This isn’t just about us; it’s about the future of our families, our churches, and our culture. The strength we need comes from the Lord. So let’s band together and transform lives, because the harvest is plentiful, and the laborers are few. We need you, heroic men of God! <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://heroicmen.org/give">Donate to Heroic Men</a>

God's Mandate for Men: Why Brotherhood Makes us Stronger with Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers

Over 83 percent of Americans still believe in miracles, but what, specifically, are miracles? What are the grounds for believing in them, especially for non-eye witnesses? In the Catholic context, who has the authority to deem an event miraculous? Should Catholics incorporate devotions to Church-approved supernatural events like apparitions of the Virgin Mary and post-Ascension appearances of Jesus Christ into their faith life? We discuss the Catholic understanding of miracles and how the miraculous fits with a comprehensive evangelical vision of the life of the Church. A listener asks if it was a sin when those healed by Jesus in the Bible told others of their miraculous healing, though Jesus had told them not to tell. 00:00 | Intro 01: 20 | Update on Winona-Rochester's new pastoral center 03: 10 | Distinguishing miracles from improbable or impossible events 06:15 | Conditions necessary for the miraculous 10:58 | The relationship between nature and grace 14:10 | How miracles are confirmed 16:44 | Science and miracles 20:09 | Miracles and the Bible 23:19 | If God's revelation is complete, why do miracles continue? 25:50 | The Vatican's recent document on apparitions 27:14 | Addressing skepticism of the miraculous 31:05 | Listener question 32:54 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: <ul> <li>Poll citation: <a href= "https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4400922-americans-ghosts-aliens-devil-survey/"> https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4400922-americans-ghosts-aliens-devil-survey/</a></li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">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">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

Faith and family values just seem to go together but why is this so and what happens to our family values if we separate them from faith?  Many young families today are doing just that trying to see if we can maintain a family without necessarily linking it back to God.  On the other hand the Catholic church consistently teaches us that God is the key to family unity and to family greatness.  But what does this mean?  In this second part of our series on The Four Anchors we explore the real blessings that faith represents for our families.

Benedictine spirituality may be for you.“The Benedictine answer to spirituality is the Scriptures, the scriptural way,” says Benedictine Father Jeremy Driscoll, monk at Mount Angel Abbey in Oregon and professor of patristics at Mount Angel Seminary.&nbsp;“Benedict tries to be nothing more and nothing less than Scripture at full throttle,” he explains. “To quote the holy rule: Let nothing be preferred to the work of God, which refers to the Divine Office. The center of Benedictine life is the gathering in the Church for the various hours of the praise of God in common.”-Structured Prayer-Very liturgicalFranciscanPax et bonum – Peace and the goodDoes the simple life attract you?

The life of Christians is governed by the truth contained in scripture.  And this is especially true for leadership which is why it is so important for us to study the parables of Jesus.  In the parables we hear that leadership comes from God and also receive valuable lessons about what to avoid in order to not allow our leadership to become too worldly and what to do in order to make our leadership as spiritual as possible.  The parables of Jesus are as timely today as they were when he first spoke them.

In today's episode, John is joined by Ryan Scheel, from the Catholic Talk Show, to discuss 5 remarkable men of history, the stories associated with them, and the virtues they portrayed during ancient Rome. We dive into the virtues these men each displayed and how our Catholic faith prefects and brings to life that which these men only knew through reason and experience. We then discuss how important it is for men today to learn about the history of Rome and how this knowledge can improve your life.Catholic Talk Show - https://www.youtube.com/@CatholicTalkShow🔴 Catholic Gentleman+ is Now Live - https://catholicgentlemanplus.comJoin the movement of The Catholic Gentleman by supporting us and getting incredible sessions as to help you strategically become a better man - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com Quote:“Cling fast to virtus, I beg you men of Rome, it is the heritage that your ancestors bequeathed you.

5 Ancient Romans Every Man Should Know

They paraded Our Lord through the Via Dolorosa as a public spectacle. Our Lord takes our sin and shame upon His shoulders and carries it up Calvary’s hill. Jesus calls us into His saving act by an invitation to take our crosses and unite them to His.

A Contemplative CEO - Jamie Baxter, Founder and CEO of Exodus 90

If you’ve ever been to a big conference or a really inspiring parish mission, you might’ve had a moment of encounter that set you on fire for Jesus, only to grow discouraged a little while later when you don’t see immediate progress in your spiritual life. We’ve had that experience too.  God doesn't work on our time though. Instant gratification is what we’ve grown to expect in our culture,  but it's not that way in the spiritual life. 

The devil loves to lean into the discouragement that comes from expecting instant growth. It’s a slow process, and it’s easy to forget just how beautiful this long process of spiritual growth is. God knows what He's doing and it's up to us to be patient and to persevere. 

Join us in the pew today as John talks about how to put aside our need for instant gratification and the beauty of playing the spiritual long game.

In 2015 Bishop Robert Barron gave the opening keynote speech at the famous World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia. In front of this massive crowd of Catholics, Bishop Barron explained how Christianity is the greatest form of humanism because of its unique claim that all humans are made in the image and likeness of God. As representatives of God, we share in the responsibility of bringing the power, wisdom, heart, and mind of God out into the world.

WOF 082: Living as the Image of God (Part 2)

Only humans can create... because we're made in the image and likeness of the Creator. So work starts with who you ARE... yet we usually only focus on what we DO when we work. Our culture tells us all our objectives are Profit or Social Responsibility. But as Catholics, we should focus on the three objectives of Create, Support, Reward. Find out how to make your work your prayer.

DISCUSSION PROMPT:
Humans create because we're made in the Creator’s image and likeness. Work starts with who we are, so why do we only focus on what we do?

We are taking the next few episodes of the show to discuss each of the great men and women featured in Word on Fire's epic new film series, CATHOLICISM: The Pivotal Players.

About our drink:

Yamato was created by Aiko Importers after contacting one of the largest distilleries in the Yamanshi Prefecture and learning of excess barrels of Japanese Whisky that had not been assigned to a market and could be acquired. Aiko, under Japanses authority, was able to contract for this whisky, and developed the Yamato label to be bottled exclusively as a Small Batch Japanese Whisky. This whisky is a blend of malted barley Scotch whisky and selected Japanese grain that was grown in the Yamanashi Prefecture. The cold winters and fiery summers gives a rich flavour quality to the grain. The unique geographical location allows the whisky an intense maturation period, thereby losing a considerable amount as the "angel's share". To maintain the products natural character it is non-chill filtered. It is a blend of 3-8 year old whiskies aged in Mizunara Oak barrels.

<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Candle-Hour-80-Hour-Vertical-Eco-friendly/dp/B000LWRZNM" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Candle by the hour</a> - Candle by the Hour draws it's inspiration from the historical courting candle, which was popular among families in the 16th-18th centuries. Courting candles traditionally used during the courtship of a young woman by a suitor, where the suitor would know that it was time to say his goodbyes after the candle had burned down to the metal clip or base. Candle by the Hour provides a unique glimpse into the culture of past generations while providing a warm light in the contemporary home!

About our topic:
Fermentum - goes back as early as 120 AD. The rite of fermentum was a particle of Eucharistic bread transported from the bishop of one diocese to the bishop of another diocese. The latter would then consume the species at his next solemn Mass as a token of unity between the churches. It wasn’t viewed as a symbol but as a reality.
Hermits (who were not priests) would worship the Eucharist in caves and take the Eucharist with them to avoid animals or thieves.
As monasticism changed from solitary to communal life, monks would carry the Eucharist with them working in the fields or going on a voyage.
It is interesting to note that one of the first unmistakable references to reserving the Blessed Sacrament is found in a life of St. Basil (who died in 379). Basil is said to have divided the Eucharistic Bread into three parts when he celebrated Mass in the monastery. One part he consumed, the second part he gave to the monks, and the third he placed in a golden dove suspended over the altar.
In the turn of the first century, an archdeacon, Berengarius, publicly denied that Christ was really and physically present under the species of bread and wine. Pope Gregory VII ordered Berengarius to sign a retraction and Pope Gregory wrote the following (quoted in Pope Paul VI’s document Mysterium Fidei):
"I believe in my heart and openly profess that the bread and wine placed upon the altar are, by the mystery of the sacred prayer and the words of the Redeemer, substantially changed into the true and life-giving flesh and blood of Jesus Christ our Lord, and that after the consecration, there is present the true body of Christ which was born of the Virgin and offered up for the salvation of the world, hung on the cross and now sits at the right hand of the Father, and that there is present the true blood of Christ which flowed from his side.They are present not only by means of a sign and of the efficacy of the Sacrament, but also in the very reality and truth of their nature and substance.”
With this profession of faith, the churches of Europe began what can only be described as a Eucharistic Renascence. Processions of the Blessed Sacrament were instituted; prescribed acts of adoration were legislated; the cells of anchoresses had windows made into the church to allow the religious to view and adore before the tabernacle.
There was nothing startling, therefore, when Pope Urban IV, in the thirteenth century, instituted the feast of Corpus Christi. When establishing the feast, the Pope stressed the love of Christ who wished to remain physically with us until the end of time.
Urban IV commissioned Thomas Aquinas to compose the Liturgy of the Hours for the feast of Corpus Christi, to be celebrated annually on the Thursday following Trinity Sunday.
During the thirteenth century, scholastic theologians debated whether a person in the state of mortal sin could worthily gaze upon – or be in the presence of – a cost exposed for adoration. It was decided that it was not only permissible, but praiseworthy – and many theologians thought that “if it were done with a reverent intention, it was likely to obtain for the sinner the grace of true contrition.”
"The only-begotten Son of God is to be adored in the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist with the worship of latria, including external worship. The Sacrament, therefore, is to be honored with extraordinary festive celebrations (and) solemnly carried from place to place in processions according to the praiseworthy universal rite and custom of the holy Church. The Sacrament is to be publicly exposed for the people's adoration." Approved by Pope Julius III (October 11, 1551), these conciliar statements became the foundation for dogmatic and devotional progress ever since.
Five graces of the Holy Eucharist: 1. Spiritual Peace, 2. Forgiveness/healing, 3. Transformation in His image, 4. Unity within the mystical body, and 5. Everlasting life. Many of these graces are also present through extra liturgical worship of the Eucharist – particularly adoration and benediction. Saint John Chrysostom spoke of the joy, consolation, and hope that comes from reverencing the Sacrament: "When you see It (the Body of Christ) exposed, say to yourself: thanks to this Body, I am no longer dust and ashes, I am no more a captive but a freeman: hence I hope to obtain Heaven and the good things that are there in store for me, eternal life, the heritage of the Angels, companionship with Christ."

Adam & David call the police at church and Adoration

Today Deacon Harold & Ace are sharing from the Beacon of Truth Playlist talking about the song "Dear God" by XTC. 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 3. Here's the song in case you haven't heard it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=p554R-Jq4…=OyTief_foE75j3Qn

Playlist Edition:Dear God

See what love (1 John 3:1) 

"The one who holds the world in being was lying in a manger...The heavens cannot contain him, but a woman carried him in her bosom...May he make us into children of God, since for our sake he was willing to be made a child of man" (St. Augustine). This is our God. This is the God who reveals His power through humility, love, and mercy. Join John and Victor as they share the hope and freedom Jesus' birth brings into our lives. "See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. Yet so we are" (1 John 3:1). 

In this week's episode: 
-Jesus brings freedom into our lives
-We have a Savior, and you are worth saving
-The desire of God for you
