Episode 275 - Peace, Mercy, and Vulnerability What if real peace only grows where we're willing to be vulnerable? In this episode, the friars reflect on "Blessed are the peacemakers" and "Blessed are the merciful", showing how both Beatitudes invite us to step toward others with honesty and humility. Making peace means entering hard conversations without defenses. Mercy means letting go of the "high ground" we hold over those who've hurt us. Both require lowering ourselves, just as Jesus does. They explore how vulnerability isn't weakness but the place where reconciliation becomes possible, where forgiveness takes root, and where the heart of Christ is revealed. Join us as we learn the courage to be vulnerable and the freedom that comes from choosing mercy and peace.

Peace, Mercy, and Vulnerability

Episode 107 - Ordinary but Extraordinary It is easy to fall into the temptation and believe that we can't do it, that we can't live a holy life. Although the ordinary life is simple, hidden, and seems kind of normal, there's so much sanctity in our vocations that are being lived faithfully. It might not be flashy or spectacular but it's one of the most real ways we can grow in holiness. We may not be in the chapel or church making a eucharistic holy hour, but no matter what our day-to-day experiences look like or what daily lives we are accustomed to, God is there. There's something extraordinary in our ordinary experiences. It is possible to be in relationship with God, amidst everything that we do. We just need to make the space and time no matter how small and let Him enter into our lives.

Ordinary but Extraordinary

In this week's episode, we continue in our 4 part Advent study of Heather's new book Encountering Emmanuel and focus on "Week Two". We ponder the reality that we are welcomed into Jesus' family as heirs and children of God. We also discuss the restoration that takes place in family, relating to each other as spiritual family, and the ache we experience for union with God in Heaven.

"For the Son of God became man so that we might become God." "The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods." (CCC 460) Scripture for Lectio: "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him."

S15 E12 - Encountering Emmanuel: Week Two

In this episode, we explore the gift of tears and the importance of allowing ourselves to cry. We reflect on our experiences with crying and talk about how tears, especially in painful moments, can be a powerful expression of surrender, lament, and hope when offered to God. With the help of the Holy Spirit, our sensitivity and capacity to cry reflect the way we were beautifully created to respond to what breaks God's heart. We discuss the vulnerability of crying, the pain of resisting it, and how Jesus crying out on the cross reveals the value of our own cries. Whether you're too tired to cry, afraid to show need, or already feel safe expressing emotion, we invite you to see crying as an act of worship and intercession. In our sorrow, God meets us with love, truth, and the hope that He can actually do something with our pain.

(<a href= "https://learning.siena.org/product/the-dialogue-of-catherine-of-siena/">St. Catherine of Sienna, The Dialogue Study Edition</a>) "We are accustomed to thinking of crying out as something disorderly, to be repressed. The Gospel confers an immense value to our cry, reminding us that it can be an invocation, a protest, a desire, a surrender. It can even be the extreme form of prayer, when there are no words left. In that cry, Jesus gave all that he had left: all his love, all his hope."

Episode 273 - Feeling Good vs. Being Good What if the things we use to "feel better" are the very things keeping us from becoming good? In this episode, the friars continue exploring the Beatitude "Blessed are the pure of heart" looking at the quiet ways we avoid honesty with ourselves, through distraction, self-soothing, numbing, or chasing comfort. They unpack why it's so hard to face what's really going on inside us, and how purity of heart begins with the courage to stop running and let Jesus meet us in our reality.

Ancient Rome was a brutal society where the weak were exploited, women were treated as property, and unwanted children were left to die. Within four centuries, Christianity transformed this world, elevating human dignity, protecting the vulnerable, and fostering peace. This book examines seven key areas where Christian principles reshaped civilization and provides a roadmap for reclaiming these values in today’s culture, offering hope for renewal in a world once again hostile to faith.

Through 101 questions and answers, this work delves into his experiences battling demonic forces, the nature of exorcism, and the causes and signs of possession. It dispels myths, explains the limits of the devil’s influence, and offers practical guidance on spiritual protection, providing a deeper understanding of the Church’s fight against evil.

The Pope's Exorcist

In this episode, we begin a series on cultivating the garden of our hearts and reflect on what it means to cultivate peace–as a fruit that grows from communion with God. The cultivation of peace is not something we control. It comes from learning to rest in God's presence, even amid life's storms. We talk practically about how to tend the soil of our hearts, so that peace can take root and grow into a fruit that becomes a visible witness to others.

Episode 270 - Franciscan Lent After a season of Jubilee rest, the friars return with fresh hearts and a new invitation: to enter the "Franciscan Lent", a hidden season of simplicity, detachment, and joyful expectation. Drawing from the life of St. Francis and the Beatitudes, they explore what it really means to become small, to depend completely on God, and to let Him provide what we cannot. This episode isn't about doing more, it's about letting go, trusting deeply, and rediscovering the joy that comes from poverty of spirit.

Episode 93 - A New Vision, Series on Conversion by Fr Haggerty (Part 4 of 8) There's a simple test of whether a conversion is authentic: do you treat people differently, particularly the poor? Does your spiritual life get reduced to "me"? Or to an exodus from caring about yourself at all? Your prayer is measured in charity. The quality of your Holy Hour can only be measured by how you love people when you leave your Holy Hour. It's not only about your experience. The end of all formation, of any vocation, is self-gift. The end is the cross—the mystery of loving Jesus and loving like Jesus. Order Conversion by Fr Haggerty: https://www.ignatius.com/Conversion-P341.aspx Born of Fire by Fr.

A New Vision

Episode 80 - We Are Not Self-Defined, A series on King David: Part 1 of 4 There's always some mystery involved in an anointing. God doesn't select the person we expect; this happens throughout the Old Testament and with the Apostles. There's a mystery of who God calls and how God calls. God still calls really talented people, but not because they're talented. We are not our skills. God sees beyond that, even when we're really focused on what we can bring. In David's case, he was the only one who wasn't caught up in it all; he had the posture and disposition to be king. And while intention is really important, it's not enough to make a person good. The world idolizes intention, but it's necessary to actually be obedient and faithful—to put that intention into practice. As for us? Well, we might not become kings of Israel, but we will have some kind of calling. And as we respond to that call, we have access to the same grace that David did, and we can be as confident as he was in the anointing that God has put on our lives. David was not the author of his own destiny and identity, and neither are we. We're not self-defined.

The Mystery of a Death and the Secret of a Life

This fascinating work on the life and times of Cardinal Merry del Val from renowned historian Roberto de Mattei provides a first-ever, in-depth look at the remarkable life of a Servant of God who served four popes. Even in turbulent times, amid anticlerical violence, war, and personal attacks, Cardinal del Val remained the epitome of humility. Whether drafting papal documents, mediating tense religious and political situations, sending consequential encoded telegrams, or defending the teachings of the Church, he lived a life of asceticism and mysticism and steadfastly preserved the truth. In this sweeping life story, you will see how, through it all, Cardinal del Val remained a model of virtue, leading by example in obedience, fidelity, and devotion.

Episode 118 - Learning To Be Loved There is the undeniable temptation to achieve and perform in order prove that we are good enough. But, it shouldn't be all about that. We are gifts to the Lord not because of our perfection but only because of who we are. We can get caught up in the little things that we do and detach them from the overall goal. It's not just about being perfect on all virtue, discipline or devotions—it should all be geared towards Love. The love of God and growing in love with him, that's the ultimate goal. This is a supplementary episode to close the series on The Practice of the Presence of God, that talks about experiencing love, learning to be and being loved and from that being able to love.

In this episode, we discuss Pope Francis' Easter Vigil <a href= "https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254053/full-text-pope-francis-homily-for-easter-vigil-2023-at-the-vatican"> homily</a> about the hope that comes from remembering Jesus, our first love. We reflect on his meditations about how the women in scripture are grieved to find Jesus' empty tomb, and like these women, we all too often become hopeless and see joy as belonging to the past. We discuss moments of personal encounter with the love of Jesus that has healed us and offer an invitation to a renewed hope in Jesus by remembering the great joy and power that comes through relationship with Him. Let us allow our 'sealed tombs' to be opened and restored by hope this Easter season.
