Anthony Esolen examines how modern secular philosophies undermine the Catholic Church's teachings on human nature, marriage, and family. He emphasizes that Catholic Social Teaching offers a unified worldview, where insights on family life are interconnected with teachings on the poor, the Eucharist, education, and governance. Esolen advocates for a return to these authentic teachings to address societal ills and foster a culture rooted in love of God and neighbor.

Episode 183 - Contemplative Spaces What stands in your way to go deeper with the Lord? We believe that growing in silence and our ability to contemplate is of supreme importance, but to actually respond to that is undoubtedly gonna be very very hard as well. So, how do we do this practically? Today, we're going to talk about how actual behavior change happens and how we can set ourselves up for success to truly grow in silence and make our contemplative spaces.

Contemplative Spaces

Episode 283 - Franciscan Jubilee What do we do when the Church invites us to slow down and then calls us to go deeper? In this episode, the friars reflect on the newly announced Jubilee Year of St. Francis and what it means not just for Franciscans, but for the whole Church. They share why this moment feels like a continuation of grace rather than a reset, an invitation to keep living the Jubilee spirit of holiness, simplicity, and trust. They talk about St. Francis not as an unreachable saint, but as a brother who shows us how to follow Jesus with clarity and freedom. This conversation explores holiness as something concrete and lived: simplifying our lives, returning to prayer, falling in love with the Eucharist, and letting ourselves be captivated by Christ again. Join us as we begin this Jubilee year together, learning, little by little, how to follow Jesus more simply and more fully.

Political Spin Class, Pt. 2

Episode 74 - A Holy Hiding For 30 years, Jesus lived quietly in Nazareth with Mary and Joseph; his "hidden" years. Through his normal day-to-day living of going to school and having friends and putting in a hard day's work, Jesus made sacred the hidden space. That hidden space is where most of us live most of our lives—out of the public eye, going about our everyday without much notice by others. Hidden from the world, but absolutely seen by the Father in that uniquely silent space that is set apart. In our busyness, we need to follow Jesus into that place with his Father. It's different than running away. It's not hiding from our problems… it's hiding with the Lord. It's a holy kind of hiding. What does this mean for mission? During those private decades, Jesus knew his mission and was patient in waiting for it. He didn't rush. And so for us, Nazareth gives us permission to let the Lord lead; to let the Lord form us. It's ok that this takes time. Starting next week: a series on the Litany of Trust (from the Sisters of Life).

A Holy Hiding

&quot;Nothing is far from God&quot; Have you ever heard the quote &quot;You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.&quot;? Or what about &quot;To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek Him, the greatest adventure and to find Him, the greatest human achievement&quot;? These beautiful quotes are from the incredible Saint, Augustine of Hippo. And before he was a saint, Augustine was nothing short of a ruffian and rebel. It was only by the grace of God that he went on to become saint and doctor of the church! And we will tell his story...but! Not yet. First, we have to start with the story of the one that prayed Augustine into the arms of God, the woman who wept and fought for his holiness: Augustine&apos;s mother, Saint Monica.Saints Alive is brought to you by the #1 Catholic Prayer App, Hallow!

Dr. Taylor Marshall examines how clandestine societies, including Modernists and Marxists, have infiltrated the Catholic Church since the mid-19th century. He argues that these groups aimed to subvert the Church's doctrine, liturgy, and mission by strategically placing their members within seminaries, the priesthood, and the episcopacy, ultimately seeking to influence the election of popes. Marshall contends that many contemporary Church scandals result from this orchestrated plot, rather than cultural changes or the outcomes of the Second Vatican Council. He discusses topics such as the role of Freemasonry, the warnings of Our Lady of La Salette, and the implications of the Third Secret of Fatima, providing a perspective on the challenges facing the Church today.

Meditations for Lent

I'll share with you why I started a Catholic lofi channel. We'll also look at what St Thomas Aquinas says are 4 characteristics of joy. 🎧 Catholic Lofi: <a href="https://youtu.be/FbsO3bgyH84">https://youtu.be/FbsO3bgyH84</a> 😊 Locals (Morning Coffee podcast): <a href="https://mattfradd.locals.com/">https://mattfradd.locals.com/</a> Aquinas on the four characteristics of joy: Anyone who desires to make progress must have spiritual joy: "A cheerful heart is a good medicine" (Prov. 17:22). The Apostle touches on four characteristics of true joy; First, it must be right, this happens when it concerns the proper good of man, which is not something created, but God: "But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge" (Ps. 73:28). Therefore, it is right, when there is joy in the Lord; hence he says, in the Lord: "'Me joy of the Lord is your strength" (Neh.,8:10). Secondly, it is continuous; hence he says, always, "Rejoice always" (1 Thess. 5:16). This happens when it is not interrupted by sin, for then it is continuous. But sometimes it is interrupted by temporal sadness, which signifies the imperfection of joy. For when a person rejoices perfectly, his joy is not interrupted, because he cares little about things that do not last; that is why he says always. Thirdly, it should be multiple, for if you rejoice in God, you will rejoice in His incarnation: I bring you good news of a great joy, which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior" (Lk. 2: 10); and in your own activity: "When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous" (Prov. 21:15); and in your contemplation: "Companionship with her has no bitterness" (Wis. 8:16). Again, if you rejoice in your good, you will be prepared to rejoice in the good of others; if you rejoice in the present, you are prepared to rejoice in the future; hence he says, again I will say, rejoice. Fourthly, it should be moderate and not flooded with pleasures, as happens in worldly joy; hence he says, let all men know your forbearance. As if to say: Your joy should be so moderated that it will not degenerate into dissoluteness: "The people continued feasting in Jerusalem before the sanctuary" (Judith 16:20). He says, let all men know, as if to say: Your life should be so moderate in externals, that it offends the gaze of no one; for that would hinder your manner of life. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why I Started a LOFI Channel 🎧😊

Fr. John reminisces with Fr. Mike on an experience he had hiking Little Bear Peak, one of the most challenging 14ers in Colorado. This experience along with many others has inspired Fr. John to write a book this summer giving the perspective of how a person can rebuild a Christian worldview and rediscover God and themselves in the backcountry.
