In this talk from the 2022 Good News Conference, Britt Fisk, shares her wisdom on what it means to hand over complete trust to the Lord, particularly in times of great suffering. Though we may feel like we’re at a loss when we are not in control, this is the moment when the Lord meets us and asks us to hand over control and trust his will for our lives. As Britt affirms through her story of suffering, untold beauty comes from that surrender of control.  Learn more about the Good News Conference and sign up to attend this year’s conference at <a href= "https://goodnewsconference.com/">https://goodnewsconference.com</a>.

APPETENTE SACRO (On the Spiritual Advantages of Fasting)  

Pope Clement XIII

Encyclical of Pope Clement XIII promulgated on 20 December 1759.

To the Venerable Brothers the Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, and Bishops. Venerable Brothers, Greetings and Apostolic Blessing.

The holy season of Lent approaches, which is full of mysteries but not without mystery. It precedes that great celebration of Easter, by which alone the dignity of all other religious occasions is consecrated. Venerable Brothers, you should see that the faithful religiously observe this holy fast, which was recommended by the testimony of the laws and the prophets, consecrated by the Lord Jesus Christ, and handed on by the apostles. The Catholic Church has always preserved it so that by the mortification of the flesh and the humiliation of the spirit, we might be better prepared to approach the mysteries of the Lord's passion and the paschal sacraments. Likewise through fasting we might rise again in the resurrection of Him whose passion and death we joined after we put off the old man. Our predecessor Benedict XIV aroused you with two earlier briefs, that you might zealously preserve such a holy and salutary institution. Your work and zeal should recall the discipline of the Lenten fast, now weakened by many corruptions, to its original observance. For this reason, Pope Benedict XIV removed from your midst many quibblings which impaired fasting. However, as there are many persistent threats to the Lord's flock from the foul and dangerous enemy of the human race, we should be wary lest the sly old fox add new calculations and perverse customs to the minds of the weaker faithful. These things will weaken the strength of the fast and make it sink back to that point from which it was recently recalled. We think it is necessary to send you this letter to show your brotherhood how fearful We are that the old corruption might remain, or that a new stain might come upon ecclesiastic discipline in this matter, with the resulting destruction of the souls of the faithful.

2. We understand that it is just as necessary to lessen this fear of Ours as it is to increase your pastoral vigilance by it. After Our predecessor's letters, it perhaps remains for you to eradicate with God's help anything pertaining to the old or new corruption for breaking the laws of the fast, or the fabrications of opinions, or the customs which shy away from the true power and nature of the fast. Among these We number that abuse which rumor has brought to Us: while many people were permitted by dispensation to eat meat for just and legitimate reasons, they thought it was also permitted to consume drinks mixed with milk, contrary to what Our predecessor thought was right. He was of the opinion that those who were permitted by dispensation to have meat, as well as those who were fasting in any way, with one mixture excepted, were comparable to those who had no dispensation. Accordingly they can have meat, or whatever originates from meat, in only one mixture.

3. You will begin most appropriately, and with hope of the greatest profit, to recall men to the observance of the holy law of fasting, if you teach the people this: penance for the Christian man is not satisfied by withdrawing from sin, by detesting a past life badly lived, or by the sacramental confession of these same sins. Rather, penance also demands that we satisfy divine justice with fasting, almsgiving, prayer, and other works of the spiritual life. Every wrongdoing--be it large or small--is fittingly punished, either by the penitent or by a vengeful God. Therefore we cannot avoid God's punishment in any other way than by punishing ourselves. If this teaching is constantly implanted in the minds of the faithful, and if they drink deeply of it, there will be very little cause to fear that those who have discarded their degraded habits and washed their sins clean through sacramental confession would not want to expiate the same sins through fasting, to eliminate the concupiscence of the flesh. Besides, consider the man who is convinced that he repents of his sins more firmly when he toes not allow himself to go unpunished. That man, already consumed with the love of penance, will rejoice during the season of Lent and on certain other days, when the Church declares that the faithful should fast and gives them the opportunity to bring forth worthy fruits of penance. After all, it is always necessary to subdue concupiscence, for it is written, "Do not follow behind your desires, and do not turn away from your will." Let the faithful easily turn their attention during this most holy time of year to lessening the intemperance of the body by fasting. In this way the soul might understand how it should prepare itself to recall the holy mysteries of the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Therefore, those who are spurred on by penance do not seek the delicacies of the table, which seem indistinguishable from forbidden foods, even with abstinence. However, one can rightfully say that whoever sets them on his table does not so much put aside his customary delicacies as give his appetites over to unusual enticements. Finally, those spurred on by penance do not seek escapes by which they might withdraw from fasting, nor do they seek various subtleties to break ecclesiastical law.

4. It is your duty, Venerable Brothers, to in spire enthusiasm and love of penance in the faithful by word and example. Thus, they will approach the fast more quickly, observe it according to the laws prescribed by the Catholic Church, and sanctify it through almsgiving and prayer. Finally--and this matter greatly concerns the Church--they should understand that they have died and been buried with Christ. They have been called to the new life of the new man in the paschal feast so that they can come to the risen Lord Jesus Christ in full confidence. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you, to whom We most lovingly impart the apostolic blessing as a pledge of Our love and good will toward you.

Given in Rome, at St. Mary Major, on the 20th day of December in the year 1759, in the second year of Our pontificate.

How a Convicted Murderer Became an On-Fire Catholic (Part 1)

Christians have long professed that we are at the same time like everyone else and different.  We’re the same because we are human just like anyone else but we’re different because we have received the grace of Christ.  Well if this is true then our leadership will also be the same and different.  Our leadership will have to follow the same laws as everyone else and the same structure but we should also be leading with the grace of Christ.  I wanted to find out what this meant and share a short course with you.  A series of talks on this subject to help you appreciate the Christian advantage.

DGT Episode 269 - Christians Lead From Behind Christ - The Christian Leader's Advantage Part 1

She was a late bloomer athletically, save for one sport that she competed in during her high school years. In her adult life she discovered bodybuilding and fell in love with the discipline of the sport and continues to this day to train like an athlete. She became a certified Personal Trainer and helps others not be intimidated by the weight room and think of themselves as athletes in training. However, the sport they are training is the race of life itself. The story that she tells at the end of this interview might just be the strongest part of her testimony! (UPDATE: Since this interview was recorded, sadly, Dr. Kevin Vost passed away.  He is mentioned in the second half of this episode in conjunction with an event that was being planned for later this year.)

One of the biggest challenges a leader has is the fact that everyone of us is responsible for the decisions that the people under us will make.  How can I help the people that I lead make good decisions?  St. Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologica writes a great deal about making choices.  By following his teaching we can have an insight that will help us to make good decisions.

DGT Episode 133 - Aquinas On Leadership - Helping Your People Make A Decision

We live in a culture that finds it easier to believe a lie than to live the Truth; that embraces the 32 second sound-bite as if it were divine revelation and rarely accepts the obligations and responsibilities of faith, lived in the light of truth, goodness and beauty, with all that Jesus demands and expects of us.  Deacon Harold provide deep thoughts on the law of attraction and looks into Soulful Psalm 53

The Law of Attraction

There are many philosophies about leadership out there and some of them hold that failure is not an option.  Many leaders in fact are afraid of making mistakes.  However, when Jesus Christ formed his disciples to be apostles to the nations, to be bold proclaimers of his word, he welcomed their mistakes.  The gospels famously recount many of the mistakes the apostles made while they were with Christ.  What lesson does this teach us for our own lives?  What is God trying to teach us by our mistakes?  This is part six of our ten part series on how Christ made his leaders bold.

The philosopher Plato made a simple observation: Nothing in our life is perfect. Every day we experience things that fall short of the best, and this makes us feel dissatisfied. But, Plato asks, how could we recognize imperfections unless we had an awareness of what perfection would be like? These desires for perfection, or transcendental desires, are a sign of the presence of God to our consciousness.In this episode you will learn that ...■ All cultures and religions across time have a shared awareness of certain universal symbols and meaning.■ We have a desire for perfect truth, perfect love, perfect goodness, perfect beauty, and perfect home, that could not come from any worldly knowledge or experience.■ God not only gives us a transcendent soul, He also fills our soul with the horizon of His perfection, and beckons us.■ Virtually all cultures commemorate sacred places and times, as well as ritual worship of the divine who calls them to holiness.■ In our conscience, God is the omniscient, invisible searcher of hearts who bids us to do good and avoid evil.■ Those who open themselves to God find not only the sacred, but also a personal, empathetic, and loving God passionately interested in bringing us to the fullness of life.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr. Spitzer is a Catholic priest in the Jesuit order and is currently the President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith (<a href="https://magiscenter.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">magiscenter.com</a>).

Without a doubt the life of St. Paul is one of the best places to study leadership in The New Testament.  Not only is his life an example of leadership, but in his first and second letters to Timothy St. Paul exposes his heart.  He writes to his beloved son, Timothy, whom he has formed in the faith, a letter of encouragement to go all the way to the end to mee the demands of leading God’s people.  His letter gives us many wonderful insights, especially in how to rekindle the fire.

Detachment From Outcomes

Today we address a great conversation that occurred on the Diary of a CEO debating the economic effects of Trump's election. The conversation quickly turned into the global crisis of masculinity today and the commentators found themselves unexpectedly on common grounds. John Heinen and Devin Schadt listen and respond to clips from atheist Scott Galloway, agnostic Konstantin Kisin, Daniel Priestly, and Steven Bartlett as they try and make worldly sense of what it means to be a man. We discuss the overwhelming large global issue that occurs when masculinity is denied, Trump's view of masculinity, why men need a code of life, and how to raise sons in times like these.🔴 🔴 SPONSORS🔵 Holy Habits - <a href="https://holyhabits.app/gentleman/">Click Here</a>Watch the extended addition, all 1 h 25 mins of episode 194 on Catholic Gentleman Plus, where we go deeper into the President Trump form of masculinity and how true masculinity is accomplished: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com0:00 Intro05:23 Scott Galloway, Konstantin Kisin, Daniel Priestly, and Steven Bartlett World View10:15 The Crisis of Masculinity Stats - Scott Galloway13:30 Humanism and Love for Mankind18:42 What got us here?24:32 Demonizing men and Radical Feminism - Konstantin Kisin31:07 The Necessity of Code for Men49:22 How to Raise Our Sons to Become Men01:04:58 The Weekly Challenge for Men QUESTION OF THE WEEK: We love to answer your questions on the show so send them our way to <a href="mailto:podcast@catholicgentleman.com">podcast@catholicgentleman.com</a>.Check out the Fathers of St. Joseph - https://fathersofstjoseph.org/CATHOLIC GENTLEMAN PLUS (ENTERTAINMENT SESSION JUST LANDED)🔴 🔴 Watch the extended addition, all 1 h 25 mins of episode 194 on Catholic Gentleman Plus where we go deeper into how men can better prepare and combat these lies: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com🔴 Enjoy 21 unique sessions, access exclusive weekly content, ebooks, guest series, and our live Q and A at Catholic Gentleman Plus: <a href="https://catholicgentlemanplus.com/">https://catholicgentlemanplus.com</a>Help Support the Catholic Gentleman by either signing up for CG+ https://catholicgentlemanplus.com or https://catholicgentleman.com/support Learn more about your ad choices.

URGENT: Political and Global Masculinity Crisis: Left & Right Agree

Today I’m talking to Marcel LeJeune, author of “The Contagious Catholic” and founder of Catholic Missionary Disciples. A popular guest on Catholic media, Marcel is renowned for his message of radical change and the call for person-to-person evangelization. He has a Christ-based strategy, modeled on love, commitment, and vulnerability, for inviting your friends, family, and neighbors to share in eternal salvation.

On this podcast, we learn that:
- To be a disciple is to make an active choice each day.
- Each person’s conversion story is unique; there’s no single formula.
- It’s time for Catholics to live their faith out loud.

Ep 300! Looking Back . . .

We find ourselves in unprecedented times, where over 69% of Church going Catholics no longer believe in the unchanging dogma of Christ's presence in the Eucharist. This is a grave problem that all men must ask themselves: Why? Fr. Donald Calloway joins John Heinen to discuss the reasons this has been an increasing problem over the last 50 years and the solutions. Reverence and love of Christ in the Eucharist is paramount to getting to heaven and there are actions that everyone can do now. In addition, we discuss his newest book on the Eucharist and the Mass that will help you be a better son or daughter of the Church. This is a great conversation with practical steps we can all use.<h2>Podcast Sponsor: </h2>Catholic Woodworker GIVEAWAY - https://bit.ly/CatholicWoodworkerTCG<h2>Links Discussed on the Show:</h2>BOOK: 30-Day Eucharistic Revival by Fr.

What Has to Change at Mass NOW w/ Fr. Donald Calloway

One of the big hurdles that we have to overcome is our insecurity in sharing our faith with other people. We might find ourselves concerned about our ability to articulate our faith, or worse, fearful of how people might respond. Regardless of the excuse we might make, we are called to share the Gospel with others. This week, work up the courage to share your faith in a relationship that you haven't yet.

How Demonic Shackles were Destroyed by CHRIST

Friends, we just marked the 60th anniversary of the opening of Vatican II, the Second Vatican Council. Six decades later, can we say the Council was a success? A failure? Something in between? On today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt discuss a provocative pair of op-eds published in the New York Times by Ross Douthat, who argues that the Council was both necessary and a failure, and yet cannot be undone. A listener asks, if God is without form, then at the Transfiguration, what was Jesus transformed into?

WOF 369: Was Vatican II a Failure?

We are joined by a former white supremacist and now a devout Catholic man of letters, Joseph Pearce. We discuss his conversion to Catholicism from a life of hatred, G.K. Chesterton, and why men must read poetry. Joseph shares with us the intimate tie between poetry and prayer, he clarifies our thoughts on truth and beauty, and drives home how poetry identifies and assists in the completion of an authentic man.
