EP 103 Q&A With Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Obedience is a powerful act of love that aligns our hearts with God’s will, but it requires the grace to overcome sin, selfishness, and pride. When we fully surrender to God, like the servants at the wedding feast of Cana, blessings flow.

ABOUT THIS SERIESThe Heroic Minute with Deacon Harold are weekly reflections for men on the Sunday Mass readings. These reflections are designed to break open and feed men with God's word, preparing his heart and mind to receive and be strengthened by Christ's Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity on the Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist.ABOUT HEROIC MENHeroic Men strengthens men to become missionary disciples, to bring more men to Jesus Christ.

Sin Blinds You

The astounding human lineage of Jesus Christ reveals that He is the Son of Abraham, Son of David and Son of St. Joseph, a hidden king. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Fruits of Chastity and Modesty and by building the Virtue of Duty so he can strive to fulfill his duty as a Catholic father.

128: Pints with Peter Kreeft

His story was told in a 1993 motion picture that USA Today ranked as the number one "Best Football Movie of All Time," centering on his time trying to get into Notre Dame and on their football team, and eventually into a game against Georgia Tech when he sacked the quarterback with less than 30 seconds to play in the game. He is a U.S. Navy Vietnam Veteran and has gone on to be a motivational keynote speaker, including having spoken at the White House under two presidents. He has co-authored several books and offered his message in his original production live on Broadway. He also is the co-founder of the Rudy Foundation.

We are pleased to announce the 2019 annual release of our Càirdeas series, Càirdeas Triple Wood Cask Strength. This exclusive bottling celebrates the Friends of Laphroaig and marks the annual Feis Ile festival on Islay.

The unique expression is a special triple maturation, first matured in ex-bourbon barrels, then in quarter casks and finally in European oak casks which previously held oloroso sherry. It is then barrier filtered and bottled at cask strength to create a punchy dram with Laphroaig’s signature richness of flavour and smoky taste.

Friends Only

On Islay there is a saying; We don't make friends easily but the ones we do are for life. Launched in 1994, Friends of Laphroaig are fans, friends and followers of our distillery from all over the world. Never short of an opinion or two they help Laphroaig explore new expressions, attend tastings and sometimes even visit the distillery at Laphroaig’s home on Islay. To reward the loyalty of its following, each year we launch exclusive bottlings within the Càirdeas series.

Càirdeas means ‘friendship’ in Gaelic and, each year, a limited-edition bottling is crafted by distillery manager and fifth-generation Islay native, John Campbell, available exclusively to Friends of Laphroaig.

About our gear:

The French Press - A French press, also known as a cafetière, cafetière à piston, caffettiera a stantuffo, press pot, coffee press, or coffee plunger, is a <a title="Coffee" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee">coffee</a> brewing device. Two French inventors (Mayer and Delforge) patented in 1852 a forerunner of the French press. A patent was filed by a Frenchman, Marcel-Pierre Paquet dit Jolbert, officially published on August 5, 1924. In 1923 Ugo Paolini, an Italian, lodged patent documents relating to a tomato juice separator and he developed the idea of making a coffee pot with a press action and a filter. He assigned his 1928 patent to Italian designer Attilio Calimani and Giulio Moneta<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_press#cite_note-1">[1]</a> who filed it in 1929.

<a name="The_12_Year_Prayers:"></a>The 12 Year Prayers:
Prayers Honoring the 7 Times Jesus Spilled His Precious Blood for Us, as Revealed by Our Lady to St.
Bridget, and Approved by Pope Clement XII
O Jesus, now I wish to pray the Lord's Prayer seven times in unity with the love with which You sanctified this prayer in Your Heart. Take it from my lips into Your Divine Heart. Improve and complete it so much that it brings as much honor and joy to the Trinity as You granted it on earth with this prayer. May these pour upon Your Holy Humanity in Glorification to Your Painful Wounds and the Precious Blood that You spilled from them.
First Prayer: The Circumcision -
Pray 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, then:
Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the first wounds, the first pains, and the first Bloodshed as atonement for my and all of humanity's sins of youth, as protection against the first mortal sin, especially among my relatives. Amen
Second Prayer: The Suffering on the Mount of Olives
|Pray 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, then:
Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the terrifying suffering of Jesus' Heart on the Mount of Olives and every drop of His Bloody Sweat as atonement for my and all of humanity's sins of the heart, as protection against such sins and for the spreading of Divine and brotherly Love. Amen
Third Prayer: The Flogging
Pray 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, then:
Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the many thousands of Wounds, the gruesome Pains, and the Precious Blood of the Flogging as atonement for my and all of humanity's sins of the Flesh, as protection against such sins and the preservation of innocence, especially among my relatives. Amen
Fourth Prayer: The Crowning of Thorns
Pray 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, then:
Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the Wounds, the Pains, and the Precious Blood of Jesus' Holy Head from the Crowning with Thorns as atonement for my and all of humanity's sins of the Spirit, as protection against such sins and the spreading of Christ's kingdom here on earth. Amen
Fifth Prayer: The Carrying of the Cross
Pray 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, then:
Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You the Sufferings on the way of the Cross, especially His Holy Wound on His Shoulder and its Precious Blood as atonement for my and all of humanity's rebellion against the Cross, every grumbling against Your Holy Arrangements and all other sins of the tongue, as protection against such sins and for true love of the Cross. Amen
Sixth Prayer: The Crucifixion
Pray 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, then:
Eternal Father, through Mary's unblemished hands and the Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You Your Son on the Cross, His Nailing and Raising, His Wounds on the Hands and Feet and the three streams of His Precious Blood that poured forth from these for us, His extreme tortures of the Body and Soul, His precious Death and its non bleeding Renewal in all Holy Masses on earth as atonement for all wounds against vows and regulations within the Orders, as reparation for my and all of the world's sins, for the sick and the dying, for all holy priests and laymen, for the Holy Father's intentions toward the restoration of Christian families, for the strengthening of Faith, for our country and unity among all nations in Christ and His Church, as well as for the Diaspora. Amen
Seventh Prayer: The Piercing of Jesus' Side
Pray 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary, then:
Eternal Father, accept as worthy, for the needs of the Holy Church and as atonement for the sins of all Mankind, the Precious Blood and Water which poured forth from the Wound of Jesus' Divine Heart. Be gracious and merciful toward us.
Blood of Christ, the last precious content of His Holy Heart, wash me of all my and others' guilt of sin!

Water from the Side of Christ, wash me clean of all punishments for sin and extinguish the flames of Purgatory for me and for all the Poor Souls. Amen

A Ladder to Nowhere

Today (September 18), Bishop Barron will be speaking to Facebook employees at their headquarters in Menlo Park, CA, on "How to Have a Religious Argument." (The talk will be livestreamed on <a href="http://facebook.com/bishoprobertbarron">Bishop Barron's Facebook page</a> from 6:00pm-7:00pm ET.) Every day, millions of people argue about religion on social media. The comboxes of religious and atheist sites are among the most visited and the most heated in the virtual space. But what Bishop Robert Barron finds interesting is how few people really know how to have a good religious argument. There is a lot of energy, lots of sharp words, and lots of strong feelings expressed. But rarely do we come across productive, rational argument about religion. Bishop Barron paves a way forward, showing how we all, believer and nonbeliever alike, can share better religious discussions. SPECIAL: Pre-order the hardcover book today for just $19.95 (26% off) and free shipping. You'll also receive three bonus eBooks from Bishop Barron! <a href= "http://wordonfireshow.com/book">Just click here to order</a>. Topics Discussed <ul> <li>0:05 - Introduction about the talk</li> <li>1:15 - Bill Maher as an example of how NOT to have a religious argument</li> <li>2:40 - How is learning to trust a person an example of coming to faith? </li> <li>6:30 - What is the number one block to having a good religious argument?</li> <li>9:58 - What is voluntarism, and how does it block good religious argument?</li> <li>16:15 - How does understanding your opponent's position helpful in having a religious argument?

WOF 093: Bishop Barron at Facebook

How do we make sense of all the names, groups, and movements surrounding the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965)? What are the key things to know, and how have they shaped today’s Catholic Church? Bishop Barron explains. A listener asks why secular philosophy departments tend to discount Scholasticism in favor of modern philosophy.

Discerning God’s Will

One of the most popular forms of content at <a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org">Word on Fire</a> continues to be Bishop Robert Barron's theological commentaries about movies. In fact, the very first Youtube video Word On Fire ever produced was a commentary on Martin Scorsese's Oscar-Winning film, “The Departed.” Since then, the bishop has reviewed dozens of movies and received high praise for his spiritual interpretations, even from the films' own directors. So for this episode, we thought we would ask Bishop Barron to share his ideas about two recent movies, namely, “Doctor Strange" and “Hacksaw Ridge” (SPOILER ALERT). The listener question asks where we Christians should draw the line for viewing graphic content. Topics Discussed <ul> <li>0:17  - Introduction, Cubs win the World Series</li> <li>5:45 - What is the premise of “Doctor Strange”? (Spoiler Alert)</li> <li>9:12 - How does “Doctor Strange” participate in the religious tradition?</li> <li>12:49 - How do modern films profess a kind of Gnostic spirituality?</li> <li>18:40 - What is the premise of “Hacksaw Ridge”? (Spoiler Alert)</li> <li>21:39 - How does “Hacksaw Ridge” witness to both a violent and nonviolent fight against evil?</li> <li>24:36 - How is the protagonist in “Hacksaw Ridge” a man of the bible?</li> <li>26:04 - Question from listener: Where should Christians draw the line when it comes to graphic content in art?</li> </ul> Bonus Resources <ul> <li>Videos <ul> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/bishop-barron-on-the-revenant/5097/"> Bishop Barron on “The Revenant”</a></li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/bishop-barron-on-bridge-of-spies/5027/"> Bishop Barron on “Bridge of Spies”</a></li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/noah-commentary-by-fr-robert-barron/310/"> Bishop Barron on “Noah”</a></li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/video/fr-barron-on-whiplash/4732/"> Bishop Barron on “Whiplash”</a></li> </ul> </li> <li>DVD's <ul> <li><a href= "http://newevangelization.wordonfire.org/">CATHOLICISM: The New Evangelization </a>(Word On Fire)</li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/dvd/faith-clips/4421/">Faith Clips</a> (Word On Fire)</li> </ul> </li> <li> Articles   <ul> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/the-martian-and-why-each-life-matters/4954/"> “The Martian” and Why Each Life Matters</a> (Bishop Barron)</li> <li> <a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/the-avengers-and-friedrich-nietzsche/4751/">“The Avengers” and Friedrich Nietzsche</a> (Bishop Barron)</li> <li> <a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/article/the-theory-of-everything-a-god-haunted-film/4606/">“The Theory of Everything”: A God-Haunted Film</a> (Bishop Barron)</li> </ul> </li> <li>Books <ul> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/book/seeds-of-the-word-finding-god-in-the-culture/4683/"> Seeds of the Word: Finding God in the Culture </a> by Bishop Barron</li> <li><a href= "http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/book/word-on-fire-proclaiming-the-power-of-christ/2367/"> Word On Fire: Proclaiming the Power of Christ</a>  by Bishop Barron</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Study Program  <ul> <li><a href="http://mysteryofgod.com">The Mystery of God: Who God Is and Why He Matters</a> (Bishop Barron)</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Websites <ul> <li><a href="http://www.WordOnFire.org">Word On Fire</a> (Proclaiming Christ in the Culture)</li> </ul> </li> </ul> Find bonus links and resources for this episode at <a href= "http://wordonfireshow.com/">http://WordOnFireShow.com</a> and, again, be sure to submit your questions at <a href= "http://askbishopbarron.com/">http://As</a><a href= "http://askbishopbarron.com/">kBishopBarron</a>.

Change of Plans: Casual Convo on Holiness – Episode 148

Listen to this sample lesson from Fr. Paul Murray's new course inside the Word on Fire Institute titled “Prayer, Beauty, Mission: The Hidden Springs of the New Evangelization.” The spiritual life is typically understood to begin in ascent. However, in Christianity it begins with descent, namely the descent of God. As 1 John 4:10 says, God has loved us first. In this lesson, Fr. Paul Murray explores the significance of such a beginning.

WOF 266: Falling Toward God

A recent bill proposed in the California Senate will force priests to report any crimes of sexual abuse they hear about in the confessional, breaking the seal of Confession.

The home is set apart

Jesus warns of eternal damnation for the lack of charity in the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus.  Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of Fortitude from the Holy Spirit so he can identify and confront his many sins of omission and by building the Virtue of Generosity so he can reject indifference to the suffering of others and become abundantly generous.

Episode 135 - Jesus warns of eternal damnation for the lack of charity in the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus - Thursday February 29, 2024 - Lk 16:19-31

On today’s podcast, we welcome back Deacon Jeff Drzycimski for a discussion of the virtue of generosity. When I came back to Christ after a life of addiction, God opened my eyes to the many graces He was giving me even while I was still in prison. But I quickly realized that He was calling me to share these blessings with my family, friends, and neighbors.

In this episode, we’ll learn that…
- God doesn’t want us to hoard His gifts. Learn how to share the joy you’ve been given!
- We often think of generosity solely in terms of money, but there are also many other ways to give.
- It can be easy to take our family for granted. Learn tips for how to show appreciation for those people you see every day.

Complete Generosity

We all know how important determination and effort is to succeed at what we do.  After all a large portion of success is determined by our effort to get there.  What can be overlooked in this process, however, is the nimbleness and agility of mind necessary in order to make the adaptations or even change course as needed on our pathway to success.  This flexibility is something that we can cultivate and grow and it is at the very root of the art of power.

DGT Episode 149 - Capturing Analogy - Flexibility, The Art Of Power Part 1

St. Thomas Aquinas is a genius of thought and in this course for Catholic leaders I present a summary course on the four aspects of all human action essential for leadership.  In today’s class I focus in on the doing of deeds.  All leadership goes from vision into planning and from planning into execution.  Doing the great things we planned is the key to having impact in our lives.

Cameron Bertuzzi CONVERTS to Catholicism (Here's how it happened)

By our baptism we are called to lead.  We are called to bring the influence of Christ into our families, into our relationships, and into our world.  But in what does this leadership principally consist - especially for those of us who have been entrusted with communities, in our families, in our businesses, what are we supposed to do?  St. Thomas Aquinas offers us concise and insightful guidance in his work, De Regno, On The King, his letter to the King of Cyprus.

A New Era Of Apologetics, Ecumenism, and Arguments for Faith (Gavin Ortlund)

If you were to take a poll of famous topics for leadership talks, temperance would not rank in the top ten.  For most people temperance has a negative connotation, as if it were something that would stifle our energies or keep us from the fullness of life.  St. Thomas Aquinas has a very different vision for temperance.  According to him, temperance is necessary for the full life and has the power to guarantee that we attain the real good and excellence for which we are called.  This is why studying it is so important for us today.
