St. Peter Claver voluntarily entered the horrors of the slave trade to serve as a “slave of the slaves,” bringing comfort, healing, and the sacraments to the most forsaken. This powerful book follows his heroic charity aboard disease-ridden ships and in the slave pens of the West Indies, where he lived Ignatian spirituality with selfless love. Alongside Claver’s example, the book reflects on the Church’s historical witness against slavery and offers timely spiritual insights on how personal holiness and sacrificial love remain the most potent force against injustice—then and now.

9/1 - St. Giles

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.

03: Why are there 7 sacraments?

In this week's episode we break open John 21, where Peter goes back to his old way of life, encounters Jesus, and reconciles with him. We discuss how we often go back to our old ways after Lent, but that God is calling us to deeper intimacy and transformation. One Thing We Love This Week: <ul> <li>Sr. Miriam's One Thing - <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=CiWvVKuUSsw">"Find Me" - Jonathan Helser</a></li> <li>Michelle's One Thing - <a href= "https://youtu.be/nQWFzMvCfLE">"What a Beautiful Name" - Hillsong</a></li> <li>Heather's One Thing - <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reLLmJ5AAUY">"Nothing Without You" - Will Reagan</a></li> </ul> Discussion Questions: <ol> <li>What are some reasons why you go back to old ways of living, like Peter did in John 21?</li> <li>What struck you about the story of Peter during the podcast?</li> <li>How can you specifically open yourself up to the grace of the Easter season and Pentecost?</li> </ol> Journal Questions: <ol> <li>How do you picture God looks at your when you have sinned and messed up? Does this image need to be redeemed?</li> <li>How can you unveil your heart more to God?</li> <li>What is God speaking to you this Easter season?</li> </ol> Quote to Ponder: "The invitation this Easter season is to come out of hiding and really let the Lord see us" - Heather Khym

S03 Episode 14: John 21

In this episode, we wrap up our identity collection and begin a four part series on Bride. We discuss how God created us for intimate communion with Him no matter our vocation or state in life. We break open the risks of vulnerability and exposure and the deep communion and love we can only experience through intimacy.

Freedom exists for the sake of love." ― John Paul II, <a href= "https://amzn.to/3Fkgigi">Love and Responsibility</a> Scripture for Lectio Divina: "Then the Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner." So out of the ground the Lord God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every animal of the field; but for the man[<a href= "https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+2%3A18-25&version=NRSVCE#fen-NRSVCE-51a">a</a>] there was not found a helper as his partner. So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bonesand flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman, for out of Man this one was taken." Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed. - Genesis 2:18-25 This episode is sponsored by Chews Life. The mission of Chews Life is to equip all Catholics with Rosaries for life.

Highlights of Cardinal Newman's Life

In this timely and insightful work, Msgr. Laurence Spiteri explores the life, spirituality, and legacy of St. John Henry Newman, soon to be declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Leo XIV. Tracing his journey from the Church of England through the Oxford Movement to his final years as a Catholic priest and Oratorian, Spiteri reveals Newman’s unwavering pursuit of truth, his defense of conscience, and his masterful balance of faith and reason. Through vivid storytelling and clear exposition, readers will encounter Newman’s profound intimacy with God, his development of doctrine, his understanding of authentic ecumenism, and his deep humility. Drawing from Newman’s own prayers and writings, this book brings to light how his intellectual brilliance and virtuous life offer timely wisdom and spiritual guidance for our age.

6/11 - St. Barnabas

Episode 282 - Human Stuff Why are the most ordinary parts of life often the hardest to navigate? In this episode, the friars lean into the everyday realities we all deal with: conflict, communication, expectations, and the awkward moments we'd rather avoid. From navigating tough conversations to managing unspoken expectations and misunderstandings, they talk honestly about how "human stuff" can quietly shape our relationships for better or worse. Rather than offering quick fixes, the conversation invites us to grow in maturity, courage, and clarity to stop avoiding discomfort and start choosing honesty, vulnerability, and charity in the messiness of real life. Join us as we laugh, reflect, and learn how God meets us right in the middle of our very human stuff.

The ancient lie that we can become gods echoes today in the rise of transhumanism. Genetic engineering, AI, and other technologies tempt us to redefine what it means to be human. This clear and urgent reflection exposes the hidden spiritual dangers behind this movement and calls us back to natural law, true human dignity, and our God-given nature. A thoughtful defense of what it means to remain fully human in a world racing to surpass humanity itself.

The Transhumanist Temptation

Why do Catholics call priests Father? Why do Catholics confess their sins to a priest instead of directly to God? Do Catholics really worship Mary?

On Fridays, they get specific on subjects which primarily include prayer, spiritual direction, meditation, contemplation, and holiness.

August 28, 2018 - Resources Edition: Dr. Gerard Verschuuren, Forty Anti-Catholic Lies - Part 4

There is something powerful about a name. Parents take great care in choosing a name for their children and as children grow, they become their name. The same is true for every name of God. They are not mere human inventions. Each name is a revelatory instrument given at a specific time, for a specific purpose, to reveal a specific aspect of his nature. In today’s episode, take a look at how God revealed himself throughout salvation history and what it means to you.<a rel="payment" href="https://ascensionpress.com/products/support-ascension">Support The Jeff Cavins Show (Your Catholic Bible Study Podcast)</a>

What's in a Name

Have you ever thought about what your life smells like to God? Jeff Cavins explores the surprising ways Scripture uses scent to describe our spiritual lives—from the fragrance of prayer and repentance to the aroma of love and sacrifice. Drawing from both the Old and the New Testament, Jeff unpacks how the way we live can become a pleasing offering to the Lord.
