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.

Acceptance

In this week's episode, we continue our discussion on communion and focus on the practical aspects of living out in community. We reflect on the four main pillars of building a community: intentionality, vulnerability, proximity, and organically. We also talk about community as a journey and that we learn to love others by experiencing the love of God ourselves. This experience brings communion within us, which bears fruit, and then we are then able to give that love away to others.

(CCC 2331) "The person who loves their dream of community will destroy community, but the person who loves those around them will create community." (Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Christian Community) Scripture for Lectio: "And fear came upon every soul; and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common; and they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved."

Closing Credits

Composed in the early fifteenth century, this is one of the most widely read Christian devotional works ever written. In four short books of brief, meditative chapters, Thomas à Kempis turns the reader's attention inward, away from worldly ambition, vanity, and distraction, and toward humility, self-knowledge, and the interior life of the soul. Its counsel is plain and searching: that true peace comes not from learning or status but from quietly following the example of Christ. Originally written for those in religious life, its gentle wisdom has spoken to readers of every kind for more than five centuries.

Why the Demons Fell | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Set against the turmoil of revolution, political upheaval, and fierce opposition to the Church, this sweeping historical novel brings to life the courage, sacrifices, and spiritual struggles of the Jesuits during the Second French Republic. Through the story of a humble and faithful priest striving for holiness amid uncertainty, readers witness the drama of a Church under siege and the grace that sustains her through every trial. Rich in historical detail and rooted in real events, this compelling tale reveals how fidelity, mercy, and trust in God triumph over fear, division, and the forces that seek to extinguish the light of faith.

Have you ever thought about what your life smells like to God?

Shouldn't the scapular be warn under clothing?</li> <li>How is the concept of "assurance of salvation" in Protestant doctrine viewed in Catholicism?</li> <li>Is there a difference between darkness and aridity in prayer or are they merely different descriptions of the same experience?</li> </ul> Resources: <ul> <li><a href="http://www.spiritualdirection.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spiritualdirection.com</a> - website</li> <li><a href="http://www.ewtn.com/radio/index.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EWTN Global Catholic Radio</a></li> <li><a href="http://avila-institute.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Avila Institute for Spiritual Formation</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.ewtnreligiouscatalogue.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">EWTN Religious Catalogue</a> - online</li> <li><a href="http://www.spiritualdirection.com/pray" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Into the Deep - Finding Peace Through Praye</a>r by Dan Burke</li> <li>Questions?

October 13, 2017: Q&A - The Scapular, Salvation, and Aridity in Prayer

In this episode, we discuss how easy it is to settle for less than what God offers by clinging to earthly idols and loving other things more than Him. We share about some of our own idols and how turning to God instead has transformed our hearts. We admit how easy it is to accept less than the fullness of life in Jesus and turn to something or someone else in our sorrows. The truth is that Jesus is the only One who can truly satisfy us and bring real comfort in the broken places.

We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased." ― C.S. Lewis, <a href= "https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/1629232">The Weight of Glory</a> "Let yourself be vulnerable. Let your walls down, your carefully constructed fortresses breached, your fiercely guarded heart laid bare. Let your wounds be touched, your fears revealed, your deepest desires, damaged dreams, and most daring hopes unveiled before the Bridegroom, who has the power to redeem, restore, and resurrect them. Drop your independence and the idea—which you clutch so tightly—that you can do anything to protect and save yourself. And LET HIM LOVE YOU." ― St Elizabeth Scripture for Lectio: "'For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws." ―Ezekiel 36:24 - 27 Sponsor - Be Love Revolution: Ten years ago, <a href= "https://www.beloverevolution.com/">Be Love Revolution</a> began with the intention of helping young women know the personal and transformative love of Jesus, and empowering them to be God's love in the world today.

Restless and headstrong, young Robinson Crusoe defies his father's wish for a safe and settled life and runs off to sea in search of adventure. Fortune carries him through storms, captivity, and hard-won prosperity, until a voyage gone wrong leaves his ship broken apart by a violent storm and Crusoe the sole survivor, washed up alone on a remote and uninhabited tropical island. With nothing but what he can salvage from the wreck and his own wits, he must learn to feed, shelter, and keep himself alive. Defoe's pioneering 1719 novel strands one ordinary man at the very edge of the known world.

Epilogue

In the sweltering slums of St. Petersburg, Rodion Raskolnikov, a brilliant, impoverished former student, broods alone in his cramped garret, half-starved and feverish with a dangerous idea: that certain extraordinary men stand above ordinary morality and may do terrible things in the name of a greater purpose. Convinced he is such a man, he fixes on a desperate plan to murder a cruel old pawnbroker and seize her money. But the deed itself proves to be only the beginning. Dostoevsky's towering 1866 novel opens as a young man crosses a line he can never step back over.

February 9, 2018: Preparing for Lent

&quot;Whatever you do, think of the glory of God as your main goal&quot; Saints Alive brings you the story of the humble and heroic man who gave himself entirely to those in need. Today, he is known throughout the world as the great Saint John Bosco: founder of the Salesian order and creator of the preventive system of discipline. But to his Sunday school boys, he was their beloved priest and mentor who loved to juggle and rescued them from the streets. Like all the saints, his life was full of adventure, so come listen to the story of the incredible Don Bosco!Parental Guidance Note: We start the story of John Bosco with the scene of John in a dream encountering evil young boys that turn into wild dogs (3:18-3:50) Additionally, at the end of this episode, Don Bosco is brutally attacked by two thugs until he is saved by a mysterious wolf (18:11-20:12) Pre-screen at your discretion for any young ears that may be listening.Saints Alive is brought to you by the #1 Catholic Prayer App, Hallow!

Aquinas' MANY Arguments For God's Existence (Dr. Joseph Trabbic) | Ep. 301

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.

Blessed Stanley Rother Part II

In this episode we discuss Pope Benedict XVI's 2017 address to artists from the Sistine Chapel. We chat about the power of beauty to draw us in, pierce our hearts with longing, and lead us to the Beautiful One, the Creator God Himself. We discuss the importance of pausing to consider our reaction to beauty and how surrendering our fear of being wounded can lead us to the intimate encounter with God we all long for. We pray this week you would meet God in the ache uncovered by beauty!

At Chews Life, it is their mission to equip all Catholics with Rosaries for life. Chews Life believes that even the youngest Catholic can develop a devotion to the Rosary and come to know our Mother Mary. Their silicone Rosaries make this possible. Children discover through their senses, especially touch. Just as a baby knowingly caresses their mother's face, so too their little hands will come to know the Rosary and cherish it. Chews Life also makes Rosaries for adults! However, Chews Life's Rosaries are designed in such a way that no one can make the excuse that they don't have time to pray the Rosary. Chews Life's Rosaries are actually Rosary bracelets so that they are with you all day and easily accessible. These Rosary bracelets also feature a "bookmark" crucifix charm so that if you don't have time to get through a whole Rosary at once, you can use this charm to hold your place until you can continue your prayer. These and so much more are available at <a href="http://www.chewslife.com">www.chewslife.com</a>! Use code ABIDE10 to receive 10% off your purchase (not valid with other discounts).

Beyond Damascus

We are so excited to share this interview we did with our good friend Jenna Guizar. Jenna is the founder and creative director of Blessed is She, a Catholic women's community committed to deepening a life of prayer starting with daily Scripture devotionals and supportive sisterhood. We had a great and heartfelt conversation with Jenna about her ministry, how she balances work and life with 4 children (including one cute newborn who was also a guest on our podcast!), and just her journey of faith and how she abides together with her people. Hope you enjoy this rich conversation.

A Solemn Vow and Promise

Aging siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who run a tidy farm on Canada's Prince Edward Island, decide to adopt an orphan boy to help with the work. Instead, a mistake sends them Anne Shirley: a skinny, red-haired, irrepressibly talkative eleven-year-old with a runaway imagination and a gift for finding wonder, and trouble, everywhere she looks. Shy Matthew is instantly charmed; practical Marilla is far less sure what to do with her. Montgomery's beloved 1908 novel opens as this unexpected girl arrives at Green Gables, ready to turn two quiet, orderly lives, and the whole of sleepy Avonlea, joyfully upside down.
