We all know that Christianity is a religion of peace.  We long for that peace and we long to bring that peace to the world.  What then could Our Lords have meant when he spoke in Matthew 10:25 of His mission to bring a sword?  What does that mean for you and I in our own Christian lives?  How is it that our leadership brings both peace and a sword?

3 hr Interview W/ Christopher West TONIGHT!

Back when I worked as an apologist with Catholic Answers we received a lot of questions around this time of year. Perhaps the most common was, "are Sunday's excluded from Lent?" The answer is . . . are you ready for this? No. Sunday's are not excluded from Lent. According to the <a href= "https://www.ewtn.com/library/CURIA/CDWLITYR.HTM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">General Norms for the Liturgical Year and the Calendar</a>, "Lent runs from Ash Wednesday until the Mass of the Lord's Supper exclusive" (28). No exceptions are given for Sunday's during Lent. In fact, a couple of paragraphs later the GN says: "The Sundays of this season are called the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Sundays of Lent. The Sixth Sunday, which marks the beginning of Holy Week, is called Passion Sunday (Palm Sunday)" (30). So there you have it. Now, does that mean that we cannot choose to allow ourselves the things we voluntarily gave up for lent? No, it doesn't. These voluntary fasts are personal devotions. Because they have been voluntarily taken up, we can choose to set them aside. That said, be awesome and sacrifice this Lent. What my P.E coach told me in middle-school applies to Lent also, "mate, if it's not hurting, you're not doing it right."

46.5: Are Sunday's part of lent?

The BeatiDudes, Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein, welcome Catholic speaker and evangelist Manny Gonzalez for a candid and heartfelt conversation about identity, suffering, and the mercy of God. Manny shares his powerful journey from early confusion and hidden shame surrounding same sex attraction to a dramatic encounter with the Lord that reshaped his life. His story includes years of internal conflict, strained school experiences, and a pivotal moment of honesty with his parents that revealed the Father’s love in a profound way.
The Dudes explore what it means to move from fleeting happiness to lasting joy, how God meets us in the depths of our brokenness, and why authentic fraternity matters for every man pursuing holiness. Manny reflects on his time at Franciscan University, the mentors who walked with him, and the ongoing daily work of conversion and chastity. Through humor, humility, and spiritual honesty, this conversation highlights that the journey toward Christ is messy, beautiful, and meant to be shared in community.

Each of us is called in our own unrepeatable way to continue the “work” of creation. Our path to salvation is through our participation in the redemptive work of Christ. In Episode Three, Andreas Widmer explains that we are made in the image of a creating God. Therefore we are creative beings and we call that creating “work”. He explores how we are invited to participate in the redemptive work of Jesus through our daily work.

The Spirituality of Work | The Gospel of Work | E3

"The breath of the Almighty gives me life." - Job 33:4 | The only way we are able to live a life of faith, a life full of love, peace, joy, and power is by the Holy Spirit. We see this most clearly in the lives of the Apostles. They had every advantage in being with Jesus and hearing him preach and seeing the many miracles that he had done, and yet, even with that advantage, they were frightened men living their faith life in a locked room before they received the Holy Spirit. What took place in the upper room changed the lives of these men and women and would change the course of human history. This experience of the Holy Spirit is an encounter available to everyone; it is not reserved for a select few. Pentecost and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit is the theme of this segment.<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;&nbsp;</a>

Breath of God | Episode 2

In our first interview, Brett sits down with Carey Nieuwhof who has been a pastor, teacher, & leadership guru for many years. They discuss God's calling to change careers & fighting against simply going through the motions. They also discuss what the Church can learn from her own response to the pandemic in retrospect. We may have adapted to meet the new challenges, but did we really innovate? This includes a discussion on the politicization of the Church. To close the conversation, they discuss burnout; when the functions of life continue but the joy of life is gone. Carey shares his personal story of dealing with extreme burnout, how he recovered from it & how you can avoid it.

WOF 382: The Beauty of Hope w/ Fr. John Riccardo

What happens when your money helps build the very culture you're trying to protect your soul—and your family—from? John Heinen sits down with Chris McMahon—Catholic entrepreneur, father of five, and founder of two financial firms, including Aquinas Wealth Advisors—to expose what’s broken in modern investing and how faithful men can do better. With over 35 years of experience and appearances on Fox News and the Wall Street Journal, Chris has seen firsthand how mainstream portfolios often fund abortion providers like Planned Parenthood, adult entertainment empires, and false ideologies that corrupt the dignity of the human person. 
 
Instead of looking away, he built a firm that offers clarity, conviction, and Catholic-aligned investment strategies. Alongside his wife Molly, Chris co-founded Mary’s Place, a home for struggling mothers, and continues to serve the Sisters of Life and Sisters of Mary with bold generosity. His story is one of quiet defiance—against greed, cultural compromise, and moral indifference. This conversation challenges men not only to steward their wealth wisely but to do so with eternal impact in mind.

Joe Halsell runs a construction company, and drank hard to handle life. Then Exodus 90 forced him to face what was actually enslaving him.&nbsp;
AA made it real by dropping him into a &ldquo;barrier free&rdquo; room of men offering unconditional help &mdash; &ldquo;24-7, here&rsquo;s my cell phone number.&rdquo; It taught him to shut off the spotlight, strip away ego, and live by a hard rule: &ldquo;Your very life depends upon the degree to which you serve others.&rdquo;&nbsp;
Now he&rsquo;s turning that arc into a book and a practice &mdash; daily prayer, examen, and Friday bed deliveries instead of the bar &mdash; aimed at the man who thinks his life&rsquo;s over, because &ldquo;it&rsquo;s not&hellip; it&rsquo;s just beginning.&rdquo;

Protestant Pastor Quits to Become Catholic (Shane Page) | Ep. 297

Most men treat Easter like a finish line. The candles go out, the celebration ends, and life goes back to normal without any change. But the Resurrection isn't a closing chapter. It's a starting gun. And if you walked away from Easter Sunday the same man you were before, this episode is for you.Fr. Dominic breaks open the readings from the 4th Sunday of Easter (Good Shepherd Sunday) and delivers something every Catholic man needs to hear. It's a call to action rooted in the power of the Resurrection.Peter stands up before the Sanhedrin and speaks with such force that the crowd isn't just moved emotionally. They're cut to the heart. They don't ask, "What should we think?" They ask, "What should we do?" That's what the Holy Spirit produces in a man. Fr. Dominic also tackles suffering head-on. Christian suffering isn't something to avoid but something to expect and embrace. If you're living your faith out loud in the world today, the resistance will come. That's not a sign you're doing something wrong. That's a sign you're doing something right.And then there's the Good Shepherd. Fr. Dominic shares a story from his time in the Holy Land. What it reveals about us is convicting.Here's the challenge: Too many baptized, confirmed Catholic men are fully initiated and completely disengaged. You have everything you need and you're sitting on the sideline. That's not the life you were made for. The Resurrection happened for you. Stop leaving it at the church doors.💬 3 Powerful Quotes from This Episode:"When the great Greek warrior Demosthenes spoke, his soldiers leapt up, struck their shields with their swords and said — let us march." — Fr. Dominic"One of the worst things in this world is a Christian who is not engaged. A fully initiated Christian — baptized, reconciliation, Eucharist, confirmation — and then they're not engaged with the world." — Fr. Dominic"The resurrection is not the end of something. It is the beginning of everything. Christ rises not simply to be remembered, but to be lived." — Fr. Dominic (quoting a Ukrainian Catholic priest)🎯 Key Takeaway — Apply This Now:Pray. Not occasionally, not when things get hard — daily, intentionally, consistently. Prayer is not a religious formality. It's how you learn to recognize the voice of the Good Shepherd so that when the world gets loud and confusing, you know which voice to follow. Start today. Even ten minutes. That's where this all begins.Thank you for your prayers and support!Consider supporting the podcast on our <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" target="_blank">Buy Me a Coffee</a> page to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!Subscribe to our <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxrRLZNk4WqPdgcac5vuWEQ" target="_blank">YouTube</a> pageCheck out our <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.themanlycatholic.com/" target="_blank">website</a>Get delicious coffee from <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.mysticmonkcoffee.com/" target="_blank">Mystic Monk Coffee</a>Download <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tanbooks.com/tan-digital-app/" target="_blank">TAN Digital</a> to access the incredible TAN Library!

Fr. Dom's Homs: The Good Shepherd Is Still Running After You...Stop Running From Him

The life of King Solomon was truly extraordinary.  Gifted with outstanding wisdom, King Solomon’s wisdom blessed Israel with outstanding abundance.  And even though everything in his life was not worthy of imitation, the Bible is careful to record that he used his gifts to build the temple of God.  This might surprise us.  Why would God want his leader to dedicate himself to building a temple?  It’s a question that opens us to a deeper understanding of our own leadership today.

In the Institution of the Eucharist, the Word becomes flesh and dwells among us. Mary is mother of the Eucharist—she is the first tabernacle, the first monstrance.  John the Baptist is the first adorer of the Living Eucharist.  The home of Mary and Joseph was the first adoration chapel.  Through the gift of the Most Blessed Sacrament, every time we receive our Lord in the state of grace, we become like Mary.  We receive the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity Jesus Christ into the womb of our souls and become dwelling places for God.  Deacon Harold opens this up today and also looking into Soulful Psalm 132:15-18

Playing Jesus in THE CHOSEN (Jonathan Roumie) | Ep. 482

There's a sin that has been attacking men since he was created. It doesn't look like sin. It doesn't feel like sin. But if you let it take root, it will quietly hollow out your faith...and you won't even see it coming.The average American prayer lasts one to two minutes. Men who say they're in a war for their soul, their marriage, their kids. Giving God two minutes.That's not just a busy schedule. That's something darker. And today we're naming it.The Desert Fathers called it acedia and the early Church considered it one of the most spiritually dangerous attacks a man could face. St. Thomas Aquinas listed it among the seven deadly sins. And it is the signature attack on Catholic men right now.It looks like contentment. It looks like, I show up to Mass on Sunday, I check the box, I'm a good provider. Isn't that enough? That is sloth. That is acedia. And chances are, you've never once confessed it.In this episode, James breaks down what acedia actually is, why the saints and Desert Fathers feared it above almost everything else, how to recognize it in your own life right now, and what to do about it starting this week.3 Powerful Quotes from This Episode:<ol><li>"Sloth is not about being lazy. It's about being unwilling to pay the cost of the fight."</li><li>"Acedia is not a relaxation of effort, but a refusal of joy — because the joy that God offers is not cheap. It comes through the cross."</li><li>"The man who goes into battle with a clear conscience and a clean soul is a different animal entirely from the man carrying the weight of unconfessed sin and unexamined drift."</li></ol>Key Takeaway — Apply This Immediately:Identify one area of your life where you've been sitting on the stairs — your prayer life, your marriage, your kids, your own soul. This week, show up there on purpose. Five minutes. Eyes closed. No apps. Tell God exactly where you've been frozen. Then go to confession before the month is out.Thank you for your prayers and support!Consider supporting the podcast on our <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/tmc" target="_blank">Buy Me a Coffee</a> page to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!Subscribe to our <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxrRLZNk4WqPdgcac5vuWEQ" target="_blank">YouTube</a> page.Check out our <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.themanlycatholic.com/" target="_blank">website</a>Get delicious coffee from <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.mysticmonkcoffee.com/" target="_blank">Mystic Monk Coffee</a>Download <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tanbooks.com/tan-digital-app/" target="_blank">TAN Digital</a> to access the incredible TAN Library!

All great leaders are capable of casting a vision.  But casting a vision is not easy to do.  To have a vision towards a goal means you want to have that goal.  And sometimes are hearts are just afraid to stretch out into the unknown and into the unforeseen.  The grace of God can help us to heal and to have the daring we need to want the things we don’t yet have.  And when we do we become leaders of the heart.  St. Thomas Aquinas helps us understand this process and how we can actualize it in our own lives as leaders today.

DGT Episode 254 - Leading From The Heart - Leadership Lessons From Aquinas Part 3

Christian leaders have to face a constant dilemma.  Belonging to Jesus Christ and at His Service their hearts are focused on heaven, and yet having to care for the things of this world their time and their mental capacity are dominated by the things that pass.  How do we keep our souls alive and fresh in God when are time is spent with the anxieties and cares of life?  This constant problem for Christian leaders could be summed up by the expression “We need to live in the world, but not of the world.”

DGT Episode 147 - In The World, Not Of The World - Gregory The Great Part 5

He is a world champion power lifter. Since 2018 he has broken nine state records in dead lift and bench press, along the way taking first place at the World Championships last year for the World Association of Benchers and Deadlifters for 220-pound 50–54-year-olds. In college he had been a middle linebacker on the football team at the University of San Diego, a Catholic college where he also ran track for them, setting the school shot put and discus records. For approximately 25 years now he has been running a chiropractic sports clinic in the Pacific northwest where for years he has served numerous sports teams and events in roles such as medical director, team doctor, head drug tester, and team chiropractor.

Most Christians today recognize the importance of engaging our culture with the Gospel.  Changes are afoot that would radically alter the way that we raise our families and understand our fundamental freedoms.  This sense of urgency has led many to find the most effective ways to impact the culture.  How do we transform a culture before it transforms us?  One of the most overlooked methods, however, is the simplest: the direct encounter we can have with the people around us.  If cultural leadership were football, this would be the ground game, and this is the method our Lord, Himself, showed us.

DGT Episode 262 - Playing A Good Ground Game - Impact Culture For Christ Part 5

He served for 42 years at Villanova University as the head women's basketball coach, tied for the most seasons at one school at all divisions in the history of NCAA women's college basketball. A private, Catholic school, Villanova saw their women's basketball team record 783 wins during his time as coach, which started when he was just 22 years old -- the youngest coach to ever head a women's varsity program at Villanova. He played his college basketball at Lycoming and went on to become a student assistant coach and coach of the junior varsity team before starting his four-plus decades career with the Wildcats. He also has a strong spiritual connection with someone considered to be arguably the greatest player he coached and whose faith story came to be told nationally.

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!

DGT Episode 41 - A Bold Proclamation - St Peter Part 4

For many leadership is an act whereby we influence people to do what we need them to do.  This is a very true idea, however, Catholic leadership goes much deeper.  For Christians, we try to lead other not only to do what we need them to do but to be whom God has made them to be.  This lasting legacy needs more than skill of command and organization, it needs the ability to inspire in a way that leaves a legacy.

Bonus Episode: Quitting the Internet

Indian paintbrush showed up at Porter Prairie Family Farm this week — native Oklahoma wildflower, first time Adam's seen it on his property. He didn't plant it. Nobody did. The seed bank was just dormant, waiting for the soil to be right. Two years of cattle grazing in the back pasture, no mowing, better land management — and something long dormant finally decided it was safe to bloom. Joel Salatin talks about this: when the practices change, when a property gets new stewardship, the land seems to know it. So does grace.David's been busy in a different direction. He wired up an automatic door for the chicken coop — actuator, relay, battery, timer — a sliding gate that covers the nesting boxes so the younger chickens stop sleeping in them and fouling the eggs. Under $150 total, including an actuator that lifts 300 pounds for thirty bucks. When he asked Lady Pamela what she wanted it to look like, she said: prison bars coming down. "We'll call it the Henna Tincture." David said say no more. The Henna Tincture it is.This week we're sipping Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond, Kentucky Straight Bourbon, 7 years — same distillery as Elijah Craig and Evan Williams. No gimmicks, under fifty bucks, smooth finish with a peanut butter quality that works. Bottled in bond since the Act of 1897. Very solid.Quick update on baby Mary: she's still having good days. Praise God. Keep her and Lady Haylee in your prayers. Adam also headed out to Arkansas over Mother's Day weekend to be with his goddaughter JoJo Kleine for her First Holy Communion — and got to watch nephew Danny Kleine go two-for-two at the plate with at least one RBI. After months of watching a daughter fight for her life in a NICU, sometimes what a soul needs is family, a Mass, and a kid absolutely cranking baseballs.Then we get into it: the papacy. A year in with Pope Leo XIV — the first American pope, the man who took the name knowing exactly whose shoes he was stepping into — and what does all of it mean? Where does that authority come from, and what's it actually for?Dave traces it back to the Davidic kingdom. When the king left for war, he handed the keys to his steward, who operated with full royal authority until the king returned. Matthew 16 isn't symbolism. "What you bind on earth will be bound in heaven" — the Jews at the time knew exactly what that meant. That's why Peter is listed first among the apostles almost every time. He was their leader. He had the keys. Two thousand years of unbroken succession later, here we are.But then the conversation goes somewhere unexpected. Authority is given to you so that you might serve those over whom you have authority. Not for your own glory. Not so people owe you. The pope is literally titled Servant of the Servants of God. The same authority Christ handed to Peter is the same authority He described in the upper room — the pagans lord it over their subjects, but not so among you. You will be the one who serves.For fathers, that cuts. Pope John Paul II stood up against governments, even after taking a bullet. He kept going out. What does that courage look like in an ordinary household? Probably not a wound in the square. More likely a different kind of martyrdom — the kind where you make a decision for your family that nobody else understands, that your kids resent for a season, that costs you something in your social circle. You make it anyway. Because you've prayed about it, talked it through with your wife, and you know in your gut it's the right thing for your people. You stand on the island by yourself if you have to.Dave closes with something worth trying: he prays specifically to the Holy Spirit to give Lady Pamela strong motherly intuition into the inner lives of their children. When she says something feels off, he pays close attention. That's him exercising his authority — his fatherly papacy — to draw more grace into his household. Not to control everything himself. To pray for the right graces for the right people.The fatherly papacy, if you will.Raise your glass.<h2>TOPICS COVERED</h2><ul><li>Indian paintbrush flowers appearing at Porter Prairie — and why the land responds to new stewardship</li><li>Joel Salatin and the School of Traditional Skills on how cattle and management change soil biology</li><li>David's automatic chicken coop door: actuator, relay, timer, and the Henna Tincture</li><li>David's wheat harvest coming up — 12,000 square feet, building a grain cradle for the scythe</li><li>Bourbon of the week: Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond, 7-year Kentucky Straight Bourbon</li><li>JoJo Klein's First Holy Communion and nephew Danny Klein's two-for-two at the plate</li><li>Baby Mary update — still having good days, keep her in your prayers</li><li>Pope Leo XIV's one-year anniversary — the first American pope and what it means to hear him speak in American English</li><li>The modern problem of instant information and why it's harder than ever to be the pope</li><li>Why interview questions on a plane, stripped of all context, are unfair to any human being</li><li>The name you give a child is an inheritance — a new name inherits nothing</li><li>Why Adam named Leo Thomas after Pope Leo XIII and Thomas Aquinas, and John Dominic after the Apostle and the Dominicans</li><li>Pope Leo XIII: the Marian pope, the social doctrine pope, the first pope ever filmed</li><li>Thomas Aquinas on the papacy — Contra Gentiles and the Summa</li><li>The Davidic kingdom and the keys: Matthew 16 as a transfer of royal authority, not a metaphor</li><li>The question of authority — Trent Horn, Protestants, atheists, and why it always comes down to this</li><li>Why the things closest to heaven get attacked the hardest — authority and sexuality as parallel examples</li><li>The pope as Servant of the Servants of God — and what that actually costs</li><li>Pope John Paul II standing up against communist governments even after being shot</li><li>What putting yourself in harm's way looks like for fathers: social martyrdom, not bullets</li><li>Making decisions for your family that your kids, their friends, and their friends' parents all disagree with</li><li>The German church and what a timeout looks like at the universal level</li><li>Why the Church has been around for 2,000 years and what that tells you</li><li>Praying for your wife's specific graces — and why Dave prays for Lady Pamela's motherly intuition</li><li>Authority as the source of efficacious prayer — a father's prayers for his children</li><li>The TOTUS TUUS decision and trusting a mother's intuition</li><li>Pope Leo's upcoming AI encyclical — and why millennials are the generation tasked with figuring this out</li><li>The fatherly papacy — what domestic authority and universal authority share</li></ul> <h2>REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE</h2>Books &amp; Writings:<ul><li>Summa Theologiae by St. Thomas Aquinas</li><li>Summa Contra Gentiles by St. Thomas Aquinas</li></ul> Saints &amp; Historical Figures:<ul><li>St. Thomas Aquinas</li><li>Pope Leo XIII (social doctrine, Marian encyclicals, first pope ever filmed)</li><li>Pope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost, first American pope)</li><li>Pope John Paul II (stood against communist governments, continued ministry after assassination attempt)</li><li>Pope Francis (repose of his soul — the men still catching themselves saying the wrong name)</li><li>King David / the Davidic kingdom (Old Testament typology for the papacy)</li><li>St. Peter (first pope, holder of the keys)</li></ul> People &amp; Guests:<ul><li>Joel Salatin — School of Traditional Skills</li><li>Trent Horn (Catholic apologist, debates on authority)</li><li>Patrick Stephen (listener and Instagram follower who suggested the topic)</li><li>JoJo Klein — Adam's goddaughter, received First Holy Communion</li><li>Danny Klein — Adam's nephew, baseball</li><li>Lady Haylee Minihan</li><li>Lady Pamela Niles</li><li>Luke Minihan (Adam's oldest)</li><li>Mary Minihan (in the NICU)</li></ul> Programs:<ul><li>TOTUS TUUS (Catholic youth formation program)</li><li>School of Traditional Skills (online homesteading video subscription)</li></ul> Scripture:<ul><li>Matthew 16:18-19 — "I give you the keys to the kingdom"</li><li>John 20:23 — binding and loosing</li></ul> <h2>SPONSOR BLOCK</h2>Sponsor: Select International Tours — <a href="https://selectinternationaltours.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">selectinternationaltours.com</a>When Adam and Dave decided to lead their first pilgrimage, they asked around, and the same name came up over and over: Select International Tours.

The Fatherly Papacy: Authority as Service and Pope Leo's First Year | The Catholic Man Show

Carson Weber, founder of On Fire Media, joins The BeatiDudes for a Fightin’ Texas Aggie Catholic bonus episode.During his early college years, Carson enjoyed the time and energy he invested in many of the student organizations and volunteer opportunities that Texas A&amp;M University offered. While that time was enjoyable, he found his calling and made deep connections with new friends through the St. Mary’s Catholic Center. Hearing the incredible preaching of Fr. Michael Sis (now Bishop Sis) and getting involved with the various ministries available, including Aggie Awakening, set Carson’s life on a new course that would include a lifetime of Catechesis and evangelization. Texas A&amp;M has one of the largest student bodies in the nation, with over 70,000 currently enrolled. About one-quarter of the students at Texas A&amp;M identify as Catholic, and most of them are on fire, living their faith boldly every day. It is no wonder that St. Mary’s continues to churn out seminarians, religious sisters, Bishops, and new Catholic companies and apostolates. The movement of the spirit through St. Mary’s launches Aggie Catholics to live their vocations and proclaim the Gospel regardless of where their careers take them next. Take a trip down memory lane and enjoy the Aggieland reflections of co-hosts Paul Kolker, Nick Bezner, and Jeff Schiefelbein with their special guest, Carson Weber.

For spiritual life has a certain conformity with the life of the body: just as other corporeal things have a certain likeness to things spiritual. Now a man attains perfection in the corporeal life in two ways: first, in regard to his own person; secondly, in regard to the whole community of the society in which he lives, for man is by nature a social animal. With regard to himself man is perfected in the life of the body, in two ways; first, directly [per se], i.e. by acquiring some vital perfection; secondly, indirectly [per accidens], i.e. by the removal of hindrances to life, such as ailments, or the like. Now the life of the body is perfected "directly," in three ways. First, by generation whereby a man begins to be and to live: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Baptism, which is a spiritual regeneration, according to Titus 3:5: "By the laver of regeneration," etc. Secondly, by growth whereby a man is brought to perfect size and strength: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Confirmation, in which the Holy Ghost is given to strengthen us. Wherefore the disciples who were already baptized were bidden thus: "Stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high" (Lk. 24:49). Thirdly, by nourishment, whereby life and strength are preserved to man; and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the Eucharist. Wherefore it is said (Jn. 6:54): "Except you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you shall not have life in you." And this would be enough for man if he had an impassible life, both corporally and spiritually; but since man is liable at times to both corporal and spiritual infirmity, i.e. sin, hence man needs a cure from his infirmity; which cure is twofold. one is the healing, that restores health: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Penance, according to Ps. 40:5: "Heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee." The other is the restoration of former vigor by means of suitable diet and exercise: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is Extreme Unction, which removes the remainder of sin, and prepares man for final glory. Wherefore it is written (James 5:15): "And if he be in sins they shall be forgiven him." In regard to the whole community, man is perfected in two ways. First, by receiving power to rule the community and to exercise public acts: and corresponding to this in the spiritual life there is the sacrament of order, according to the saying of Heb. 7:27, that priests offer sacrifices not for themselves only, but also for the people. Secondly in regard to natural propagation. This is accomplished by Matrimony both in the corporal and in the spiritual life: since it is not only a sacrament but also a function of nature. We may likewise gather the number of the sacraments from their being instituted as a remedy against the defect caused by sin. For Baptism is intended as a remedy against the absence of spiritual life; Confirmation, against the infirmity of soul found in those of recent birth; the Eucharist, against the soul's proneness to sin; Penance, against actual sin committed after baptism; Extreme Unction, against the remainders of sins---of those sins, namely, which are not sufficiently removed by Penance, whether through negligence or through ignorance; order, against divisions in the community; Matrimony, as a remedy against concupiscence in the individual, and against the decrease in numbers that results from death. Some, again, gather the number of sacraments from a certain adaptation to the virtues and to the defects and penal effects resulting from sin. They say that Baptism corresponds to Faith, and is ordained as a remedy against original sin; Extreme Unction, to Hope, being ordained against venial sin; the Eucharist, to Charity, being ordained against the penal effect which is malice. order, to Prudence, being ordained against ignorance; Penance to Justice, being ordained against mortal sin; Matrimony, to Temperance, being ordained against concupiscence; Confirmation, to Fortitude, being ordained against infirmity.

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.)

How Eastern & Western Christians Can Mutually Enrich Each Other (Fr. Jason Charron) | Ep. 303

When I first began these leadership lessons on De Regno by Aquinas, I never anticipated finding some of the greatest jewels about leadership in the chapter on tyranny.  But in fact, that is just what happened.  Sometimes you see most clearly what a thing is by looking at it’s opposite.  And Aquinas shows us most clearly what good Christian leadership looks like by looking at it’s opposition - tyranny.

CRACKER BARREL REFLECTIONS | Dave Moore, Musician | Episode #004

Our perspective is sometimes half the battle.
&hellip; Hosts Pat Lencioni and Chris Stefanick give a daily reflection for Christians in the workplace.

Reframing Our Challenges

<h3>We’re back, and life got real</h3>It has been the lightest recording stretch the show has had in almost ten years. Adam owns the delay and explains why. Since the last episode, baby Mary arrived very early at around 27 weeks and about two pounds. She was baptized immediately, and there is a question about whether she was also confirmed due to the use of holy oils and the circumstances.A few days after birth, Mary underwent an intense and invasive surgery that lasted more than six hours. The surgeon later said it was the hardest operation he had ever performed. The procedure connected her esophagus to her stomach, and the family is now living the day to day reality of the NICU: small adjustments, constant monitoring, and a careful balance with oxygen, blood pressure, heart rate, and long term risks.<h3>The charity that is hard to receive</h3>A theme that keeps surfacing is gratitude, and how hard it can be to receive help when you want to be in control. Adam and David thank listeners for prayers, meals, transportation help, and the quiet generosity that shows up when you least expect it.They give a major shoutout to the Ronald McDonald House, which provided a place for the family to stay near the hospital, along with meals and support that would have been financially impossible otherwise. Adam also mentions friends and patrons who opened their homes and brought food. It is a reminder that “village” is not a cliché when your world turns upside down.Also, in the middle of all this, Adam’s son Leo drops a classic kid moment at Mass: during a serious homily he leans over and asks when he will get to meet J.B. Mooney, the professional bull rider. Fatherhood keeps you humble.<h3>What they’re drinking</h3>David brings a bottle from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society featuring Royal Brackla. The tasting notes are ridiculous in the best way, described like “dessert in the workshop,” with custard, toffee chunks, marshmallow, and an unexpected “carpenter’s shop” vibe. It even has a hint of iodine that makes David think of Islay, without the heavy peat and smoke.<h3>A relic in the hotel room</h3>A priest from the diocese drops off a first class relic of St. Gemma, telling Adam to keep it while the family walks through this trial. Adam and David talk about the reality of having the body of a saint in the room with you, and the comfort that brings, especially when the road ahead is long.<h3>Lent and temperance: not a “no,” but a “yes”</h3>The episode’s main topic is temperance, framed as the Lenten virtue that touches everything. The simple kid definition they love is: temperance is having a healthy amount of everything. Not perfect, but memorable.They push back against the idea that temperance is just restriction. Temperance is not merely refusing the extra piece of cake. It is also the positive ordering of your life so you can say yes to the right things at the right time in the right way: exercise, prayer, rest, work, family presence, joy, celebration.The key theme: virtue is always a yes. The “no” exists to protect the “yes.”<h3>St. John Cassian and the “bread” of Sodom</h3>One of the most interesting turns comes from St. John Cassian’s Institutes. Cassian argues that Sodom’s first sin was not the obvious sin people associate with Sodom and Gomorrah. He points to Ezekiel and emphasizes surplus, abundance, and gluttony. Cassian’s logic is that the disorder starts low and spreads upward: feed the appetite, then the passions grow louder, the will weakens, and eventually the mind rationalizes what it should never have chosen.They connect this to the common sense link between food appetites and sexual appetites. If you cannot curb the basic, you will struggle to curb the higher.A line that lands: If you can’t say no, your yes means nothing.<h3>Pleasure, pain, and spiritual clarity</h3>Adam shares a sharp thought: pleasure clouds judgment faster than pain. Suffering, especially voluntary suffering, tends to focus the mind. It wakes you up and forces clarity. That is why fasting can sharpen spiritual vision. It reveals attachments you thought you did not have.They bring in Father Anselm Stolz’s point: ascetic practices are not the end. The end is contemplation, union with God, and becoming more like Christ. The danger for men is turning Lent into an achievement badge, turning penance into pride, and making the self the center.<h3>Temperance orders the whole man</h3>They outline a hierarchy: God, reason, will, passions, body. Temperance helps keep the order intact, so the higher rules the lower and the lower serves the higher. When the passions take the driver’s seat, the will becomes a servant, reason gets distorted, and you can rationalize sin quickly or slowly over years.They also emphasize something many men miss: the temperate man feasts. Feasting well matters. If you do not fast, you will not feast well. If you cannot feast temperately, your fasting might be more about control than freedom.<h3>Practical takeaways for dads</h3>One of the best “take this home” moments is teaching kids delayed gratification. The classic M&amp;M test becomes a simple, memorable way to form a child in temperance. Kids have wildly different reactions, and that is the point. You are building the muscle of waiting for the greater good.They also offer a gut check for adults: a good test of temperance is how you feast, not only how you fast. If Sundays turn into chaos, bingeing, and excuses, something is off. The goal is freedom.<h3>Closing thought</h3>Lent is a season of no so you can say yes. Mastery before glory. The Christian life is not an empty handed life. It is abundance in the right order.

Dr. Richard Gallagher On Exorcism and Mental Health

Today we're joined around the bar table by Father Thomas Joseph White to discuss predestination. Learn more about the Hillbilly Thomists here: <a href="https://www.dominicanajournal.org/music/the-hillbilly-thomists/">https://www.dominicanajournal.org/music/the-hillbilly-thomists/</a> Here's a couple of excerpts from Thomas on predestination from the Prima pars: Here's some of what Aquinas had to say on predestination: It is fitting that God should predestine men. For all things are subject to His providence, as was shown above (I:22:2). Now it belongs to providence to direct things towards their end, as was also said (I:22:1 and I:22:2). The end towards which created things are directed by God is twofold; one which exceeds all proportion and faculty of created nature; and this end is life eternal, that consists in seeing God which is above the nature of every creature, as shown above (I:12:4). The other end, however, is proportionate to created nature, to which end created being can attain according to the power of its nature. Now if a thing cannot attain to something by the power of its nature, it must be directed thereto by another; thus, an arrow is directed by the archer towards a mark. Hence, properly speaking, a rational creature, capable of eternal life, is led towards it, directed, as it were, by God. The reason of that direction pre-exists in God; as in Him is the type of the order of all things towards an end, which we proved above to be providence. Now the type in the mind of the doer of something to be done, is a kind of pre-existence in him of the thing to be done. Hence the type of the aforesaid direction of a rational creature towards the end of life eternal is called predestination. For to destine, is to direct or send. Thus it is clear that predestination, as regards its objects, is a part of providence. --- God does reprobate some. For it was said above (Article 1) that predestination is a part of providence. To providence, however, it belongs to permit certain defects in those things which are subject to providence, as was said above (I:22:2). Thus, as men are ordained to eternal life through the providence of God, it likewise is part of that providence to permit some to fall away from that end; this is called reprobation. Thus, as predestination is a part of providence, in regard to those ordained to eternal salvation, so reprobation is a part of providence in regard to those who turn aside from that end. Hence reprobation implies not only foreknowledge, but also something more, as does providence, as was said above (I:22:1). Therefore, as predestination includes the will to confer grace and glory; so also reprobation includes the will to permit a person to fall into sin, and to impose the punishment of damnation on account of that sin.

He Came To Set The Captives Free

In this episode, the point men discuss St. Maria Goretti &amp; Alessandro Serenelli and how God used them for His glory!

St. Maria Goretti & Alessandro Serenelli

Who is the Holy Spirit? How can we get to know Him? We often find it easier to relate to Jesus and God the Father, having spoken directly in the Scriptures and displayed qualities we can understand. But the Holy Spirit often remains mysterious or distant. Join us in the pew as Fr. Dave Pivonka unpacks why that is—and how we can invite the Spirit into our lives in a real, transformative way.

This Lent, we have an opportunity not just for sacrifice, but to grow in our relationship with the Holy Spirit. Stop chasing the world’s version of success, and instead, anchor yourself in the power and presence of God.

When we stop clinging to control and let the Holy Spirit lead, we discover that true strength isn’t found in worldly achievements, but in trusting Him—the One who makes all things new.

Ep 15 - The Communion of Saints

Who are the Youth and Young Adults Who Inspire you or your kids? Deacon Harold shines on the spotlight for Saints and current heroes of the faith that we can look up to to shape our faith and understanding.

Youth and Young Adults Who Inspire

Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P. joins Matt Fradd for an in-depth conversation about Eucharistic miracles, the real presence of Christ, and the spiritual life. Fr. Pine shares his research on miraculous hosts that have turned to human heart tissue, how to detect pride and narcissism in ourselves, and offers practical wisdom on prayer, the dangers of social media, and why showing up in God's presence, even with our mess, is what Jesus desires most.

What is REAL mercy? | Fr. Gregory Pine O.P.

Christians who lead faith’s many paradoxes – we are supposed to be humble and yet we have authority.  We are supposed to be docile and yet we assert ourselves.  We are supposed to be virtuous and yet we place ourselves in positions that are often tempting.  Is it any wonder that so many people think Christians aren’t supposed to lead or so many Christians refuse to lead.  Pope St. Gregory the Great gives us a keen answer in chapter 6 of his second book, “On The Rule Of Shepherds.”

The Magisterium, Apologetics, and Liturgy Wars (Voice of Reason) | Ep. 529

The anointing of the sick is administered to bring spiritual and even physical strength during an illness, especially near the time of death. It is most likely one of the last sacraments one will receive. A sacrament is an outward sign established by Jesus Christ to confer inward grace. In more basic terms, it is a rite that is performed to convey God’s grace to the recipient, through the power of the Holy Spirit.  Deacon Harold goes deeper and also looking into Soulful Psalm 20.

Anointing of the Sick

This is the second part of a series responding to 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), which 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 how the word "Gospel" would have been understood in the first century. SPECIAL: Pre-order the hardcover book today for just $19.95 (26% off) and free shipping.

WOF 097: Did Thomas Aquinas Really Prove God? (Part 2 of 2)

<a href="https://store.magiscenter.com/products/the-catholic-faith-and-science-parish-edition-participant-workbook" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">Get the Workbook</a> | <a href="https://store.magiscenter.com/products/facilitators-guide-parish-edition-the-catholic-faith-and-science" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">Facilitator Guide</a> | Sooner or later, everyone suffers. No matter how successful someone is, or how perfect their life might look, they have or will experience loss, pain, and suffering in some way. You are almost an adult, and to this point in your life you may not have experienced any real trials, or you may have endured—and still may be enduring—genuine hardships. Why does God allow this to happen? How can we make sense of suffering in the world as Christians? In this chapter, we will take a closer look at three Christian insights into suffering as we begin to answer the question of why God would allow it to happen. We will also look at common misunderstandings of why there is suffering in the world, and why they are incompatible with who God is.In this episode you will learn that ...■ Jesus Himself endured great suffering.■ By reflecting on Christ’s Suffering, Death, and Resurrection, we can gain three special insights in reflecting on the meaning of suffering.1. The Resurrection of Jesus and the suffering He endured for our sake perfectly reveals God’s unconditional love for us.2. Suffering is far from meaningless; it helps us move toward our eternal salvation.3. There will be no suffering in our own resurrection.■ Suffering is not only experienced by the unjust, and not solely the result of Original Sin.■ God may cause suffering directly if it is for our salvation and does not interfere with our freedom.■ Humility and trust must always be the basis of our relationship with God. As this relationship grows, it becomes more possible for us to endure suffering peacefully without understanding why it is happening.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

Episode 18: The Christian Understanding of Suffering

"Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect" (Romans 12:2)

Discovering God's Will

Friends, today on the "Word on Fire Show," we continue our series of discussions called "Understanding the Present Moment." Brandon Vogt and I are examining four massively influential figures who together help explain our present moment, how we arrived at where we are today. The ideologies undergirding much of the unrest in our culture stem from these four thinkers: Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Michel Foucault. Once we understand these figures and their key ideas, we will recognize them everywhere and be prepared to engage today's challenges. In today's third discussion, we focus on Jean-Paul Sartre. A listener asks, how does someone be selfless and yet love himself?

What is God like? (Fr. Gregory Pine) | Ep. 206

In his book “The Prince”, Machiavelli makes the claim that it is better for a leader to be feared rather than loved.  He makes the claim that the efficiency of maintaining power is better for those who instill fear in their followers rather than those who live the good life.  What is a Christian to do in front of such a claim?  How did Christ live this out?  This is what we want to talk about today.

DGT Episode 118 - Machiavelli, Fear And Love - The Anti-Leaders Part 2

Today we share with you Bishop Barron's keynote talk from the 2023 Wonder Conference, hosted by Word on Fire. His keynote addressed scientism, the view that authentic truth claims can be made only in regard to those matters treatable through the scientific method, and offered three paths of scape: the intelligibility of the world, the immateriality of the mind, and the inescapability of metaphysics.
