A modified best man speech for my brother at his wedding.

What Makes Great Men ... Great?

A viral YouTube video titled <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgisehuGOyY" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">"Aquinas and the Cosmological Arguments"</a> (750,000+ views) claims that Thomas Aquinas' arguments for God have been decisively refuted. But have they? Bishop Barron responds to the video and shows that when properly understood, Thomas' arguments are as strong today as ever before. A listener asks whether death is natural.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion

Ted Charles spent over 20 years as a Pentecostal pastor, rooted in a deep evangelical faith. From his early days as a “Bapticostal” believer to leading congregations in the Holiness movement, his life was centered around serving God. But everything changed when he asked one simple question:“If you died tomorrow, where would you go?”This question led him on a soul-searching journey — through Baptist doctrine, Pentecostal revival, debates about the end times, and finally… a seat in a Catholic Mass.👉 What made a committed Pentecostal pastor walk into a Catholic Church?👉 What did he mean when he said: “I looked… that was my first mistake”?Hear his raw, honest testimony and discover what it means to truly seek truth, no matter the cost.🔔 Don’t forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE if this moved you or made you think deeper about your own faith journey.@PrayingConvert on YouTube https://youtube.com/@prayingconvert?si=ccuyVNg4aNj0BNa_ #Pentecostal #Pastor #Mass #Catholic #Baptist #Protestant #Testimony #Latin #Eucharist #Love▶To support this channel, visit eddietrask.com/sponsorship🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CONVERSION STORIES: @CatholicReCon Conversion stories are shared weekly.

Even though the audio is a little rough, DO NOT MISS THIS STORY!Drugs. Crime. Military. Prison. Mercy.He was drunk. He was wild. He was sentenced to life with parole possible after 10. But he never expected to spend four decades behind bars.And he never expected to meet Christ in prison.Recorded in Boise at the Salt &amp; Light Radio Studios, this testimony has the weight of the Shawshank Redemption — but with a Catholic twist:A life spared.A chapel next door.A Church rediscovered.Yes, the audio’s a little rough. Maybe it was spiritual warfare. But it’s clear enough.And what you’ll hear?It’s real. It’s powerful.

Free After 42 Years: The Doug Austin Catholic Testimony

Fr. Ken Geraci lived the life of the prodigal son for most of his young adult life. Raised in a nominally Catholic family, who only lived the externals of the faith, Fr. Ken left the Catholic Church for many years. During that time, he earned a business degree and worked as a business professional in Advanced R&amp;D and software testing.  During this journey, God presented him with challenges that forced him to question his personal beliefs and the question, “What is Truth?” Through a series of conversions, years of struggle, study, and questioning, Fr. Ken found his way from agnosticism to non-denominational Christianity, and ultimately back to the Catholic Church. Fr. Ken joined the Fathers of Mercy in 2006 and was ordained in 2012. Fr. Ken has a great understanding of the personal and societal pressures that individuals face and knows what it is like to “hate coming to church.” His mission talks are for people of all levels of faith, from those who are madly in love with Jesus to those who struggle with church and religion.In this episode, Fr. Ken shares the history of his order and discusses the current crisis of manhood. The BeatiDudes joke about Fr. Ken’s understated crucifix before inviting him to judge their comedy woes on “Blessed are the Joke Makers.” As we follow Fr. Ken through the journey of his life, we come to learn of his spiritual gift of healing. This show ends with a deep reflection on the process of healing, along with a healing exercise that all are welcome to join. Fair warning, we told you the BeatiDudes was a blend of humor and holiness, prepare for a big dose of both. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/">Solidarity HealthShare</a>joinsolidarity.com <a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The Fathers of Mercy:</h2><a href="https://fathersofmercy.com/">Fathers of Mercy Website</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

Catholic Priest with The GIFT OF HEALING | Fr. Ken Geraci | Episode #013

Meditation on 1 Kings 21:20 and a point of clarity for a recent Made for Greatness men’s night

The Definition of Us

It's time to slow down and rediscover the sacred act of being present. In this part two of the Agents of Grace series, John and Victor reflect on the reality that grace isn’t only spoken through kind words, it’s lived out when we show up for one another with empathy and patience.

In a culture that prizes efficiency and constant motion, choose connection over convenience, listening over fixing, and compassion over comfort. Presence is not passive. It is one of the most powerful ways to reveal God’s love in the world.

Terms like "safe spaces," "trigger warnings," "harm reduction," "micro-aggression," "emotional wellbeing" and "fragility" are dominating the culture as well as the governance of many institutions. But by some measurements, our society is more physically compromised and mentally delicate than ever. Today, we discuss the contemporary embrace of "safety" and whether it overlaps with a Catholic understanding of the individual and common good.

WOF 437: Is Safety Culture Good for Us?

"[Jesus] was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the devil." - Luke 4:1On the day Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit anointed him. Immediately after this event the Holy Spirit led Jesus to the desert. The desert was a place of isolation, death, and defeat, but Jesus was led to the desert so that it may be forever changed into a place of grace. The Spirit led Jesus to the desert and also protected and cared for him while he was there. The desert is a part of every Christian's life but it does not have to be a place of despair or isolation. The Holy Spirit is present to life's deserts and when we experience his presence it changes our spiritual life. The desert is no longer a place to be feared but can be a profound encounter with Jesus.<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</a>

The Spirit and the Desert | Episode 10

Episode 6: "The Body Reveals Man" features Catholic philosopher Dr. Peter Kreeft as we consider the meaning of the human body and how the body makes visible the invisible reality of the person created in the image and likeness of God, in light of St. John Paul II’s "Theology of the Body." This episode focuses on the truth that we are our bodies (as well as our souls), how we are called to be the image of God in the world, and how misunderstanding the meaning of the body has profound consequences for individuals and for society.Guest Info:<ul><li>Dr. Peter Kreeft - A convert to Roman Catholicism from a Calvinist upbringing, Dr. Kreeft is a renowned philosopher and teacher of Catholicism. He has authored a total of 95 books on Christian philosophy, theology, and apologetics, including Handbook of Christian Apologetics and Christianity for Modern Pagans. He currently resides as a professor of philosophy at Boston College.</li><li>David Carollo - David is one of the world’s leading experts and speakers on the Apparitions at Fatima and the executive director of the World Apostolate of Fatima USA. He has been a frequent guest on EWTN and Relevant Radio, and is a regular host on Winds of Change radio in Chicago.</li></ul> Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David HajdukFollow Array of Hope Ministries on:Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ArrayOfHopeMinistries">@arrayofhopeministries</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/arrayofhopeministries/">@arrayofhopeministries</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/AOHMinistries">@aohministries</a>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@arrayofhopeministries">@arrayofhopeministries</a> LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/array-of-hope-ministries/">@arrayofhopeministries</a> YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/arrayofhope">@ArrayofHopeMinistries</a>

<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.

Today I discuss what prayer is, three obstacles I experience when praying, how to develop a prayer rule of life, and 3 reasons Aquinas says we should pray out loud. Please support our work <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/summa/3083.htm#article12">here</a>. It is not essential to such a prayer as this that it be vocal. And yet the voice is employed in such like prayers for three reasons. First, in order to excite interior devotion, whereby the mind of the person praying is raised to God, because by means of external signs, whether of words or of deeds, the human mind is moved as regards apprehension, and consequently also as regards the affections. Hence Augustine says (ad Probam. Ep. cxxx, 9) that "by means of words and other signs we arouse ourselves more effectively to an increase of holy desires." Hence then alone should we use words and such like signs when they help to excite the mind internally. But if they distract or in any way impede the mind we should abstain from them; and this happens chiefly to those whose mind is sufficiently prepared for devotion without having recourse to those signs. Wherefore the Psalmist (Psalm 26:8) said: "My heart hath said to Thee: 'My face hath sought Thee,'" and we read of Anna (1 Samuel 1:13) that "she spoke in her heart." Secondly, the voice is used in praying as though to pay a debt, so that man may serve God with all that he has from God, that is to say, not only with his mind, but also with his body: and this applies to prayer considered especially as satisfactory. Hence it is written (Hosea 14:3): "Take away all iniquity, and receive the good: and we will render the calves of our lips." Thirdly, we have recourse to vocal prayer, through a certain overflow from the soul into the body, through excess of feeling, according to Psalm 15:9, "My heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced." - Read the rest <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/summa/3083.htm#article12">here</a>. Suggestions for a daily prayer routine Stage 1: Morning offering before your feet hit the floor + Rosary or Jesus Prayer during the day + Examination of conscience at night. Stage 2: Morning offering before your feet hit the floor + 10 min scripture reading in the morning + Rosary or Jesus Prayer during the day + Examination of conscience at night. Stage 3: Morning offering before your feet hit the floor + 10 min Scripture reading in the morning + Rosary or Jesus Prayer during the day + 3 Our Fathers, 3 Hail Mary's, 3 Glory Be's in front of the Blessed Sacrament + Examination of conscience at night.
