Episode 102 - Intimacy with the Bridegroom The world is a crazy place. There's always the temptation to hide, run away or to fear Love. There are distractions and lies—the lie that we cannot do it, that we may lose ourselves, that our love won't be reciprocated. But we are made to be in love. First and foremost with the Lord, Jesus the bridegroom, who comes to save, to love, and to die for us, His bride. And from this love we are called to lay down our lives and give ourselves fully for a bride or bridegroom. This Lent, we continue to work through Born of Fire by Fr. Innocent Montgomery, CFR.

Coronavirus Crisis: Carpe Diem Your Catholic Mind and Resilience in Crisis Episode 5:  April 3, 2020Mindset.  What is a mindset and how can I understand my mindset?  These are the questions we will be addressing in depth in this episode.  And to help us, I’m inviting in Denethor II, Steward of Gondor, in his moment of crisis.  Here you go, you Lord of the Rings fans.  In the Return of the King, the third volume of the Lord of the Rings series, Denethor is in an extremely difficult position    He is the leader of the kingdom of Gondor. And Gondor is one of the few kingdoms left standing against the evil Sauron his army of Mordor.  ·         Gondor in a strategic position to defend against Mordor.  But now the vast, powerful army of Mordor laying siege to the gates of Denethor’s castle and the situation looks very grim.·         But let’s rewind just a bit.  Who is Denethor?  And what was his mindset?Denethor is ·         Hardheaded, traditional, old-fashioned·         a grim political realist – pessimistic·         lonely – his wife has long since died·         Self-reliant -- Denethor relies on his own resources to resist the powerful evil ruler  Sauron.  .  ·         Denethor is a father of two sons.  ·         Beloved Elder son Boromir has diedo   This increasing his distance, bitterness and detachment·         secretly uses a the seeing stone – the palantir -- to gather information,·         Seeing stone or palantir is a ball of indestructible crystal, used for communication and to see events in other parts of the world, events from the past or future.  Some might describe it as a crystal ball.  ·         Denethor believed he that he could control the seeing stoneo   The seeing stone could only show him things that were true – real object or events, but o   The seeing stone is not a reliable guide to action – it’s unclear whether events shown are in the past or in the future, and it doesn’t show everything.  o   Sauron biased what the seeing stone showed Denethor, selectively choosing real events and positioning the presentation to convey a lie.  In the moment of crisis, the vast, evil horde of Mordor is arrayed outside the castle walls, and Denethor’s younger son Faramir is brought in on a stretcher – Faramir is pierced with arrows and looks like death.  In the darkness of his hopelessness, Denethor says this to Gandalf: “I have seen more than thou knowest, Grey Fool. For thy hope is but ignorance. Go then and labor in healing! Go forth and fight. Vanity. For a little while you may triumph on the field, for a day. But against the Power that rises there is no victory. To this City only the first finger of its hand has yet been stretched. All the East is moving. Even now the wind of they hope cheats thee and wafts up the Anduin a fleet of black sails. The West has failed. It is time to depart for all you would not be slaves.” Welcome to the podcast Coronavirus Crisis:  Carpe Diem where together we embrace the possibilities and opportunities for spiritual and psychological growth in this time of crisis, all grounded in a Catholic worldview.  I’m clinical psychologist Peter Malinoski with Souls and Hearts at soulsandhearts.com.  Thank you for being here with me.   This is episode 5:  Your Catholic Mind and Resilience in Crisis and it is Friday, April 3, 2020. We are one week away from Good Friday.   Mindset is one of the four pillars of resilience in crisis for Catholics, and this episode builds on the last one, in which I introduced you to the four pillars of resilience.  These four pillars are critical for you being able to not just survive, but to thrive in times of crisis like this moment we find ourselves in now.   Now we are going much more in depth on mindset.   So what is mindset?  Our mindset is the general position or attitude of our intellect. Mindset captures how we habitually apply our thinking to the situations we face.  It’s the soil in which our cognitive processes grow.  Mindset is not our thinking per se – it’s the mental attitude from which our thinking flows.   So here’s a simple example to clarify.  A person with a pessimistic and bitter mindset looks at a glass, sees it as half-empty and considers how he doesn’t really want water.  He wants iced tea.  With a twist of lemon.  He thinks about how he never gets what he wants.  A person with a providential mindset recognizes that four ounces of water is what he needs right now, and gives thanks to God for the gift of water.   You can think of mindset as filter through which we perceive our situations, other people, and ourselves.  Our mindsets can range all over in terms of the accuracy of their perceptions and the quality of the thinking they produce.   Think about it.  You’ve seen this in others, when they totally misunderstand you in a situation.  And if you’re honest with yourself, you can probably remember times when your perceptions of situations have been really misguided by your mindset.    And reminder of what we discussed in the last episode, our mindset greatly influences not only our thinking but also our behavior.   It’s much easier to act well when we have a healthy mindset  So now, back to Denethor.  Let’s discuss his mindset.  What was Denethor’s mindset?  Think about it for just a second.  Was it despair?  Well, he did move to mindset of despair but only at the very end.  Remember that mindsets can change and flux.  Denethor was in trouble with his mindset long before the host of Mordor gathered at his doorstep, long before the battered body of his son Faramir was hauled back to him in the castle.  So what was the original problem with Denethor’s mindset?  It was this:Denethor believed that he needed only to rely on himself.  He was a man of great capacity, many talents and strong will.  He pursued the good as he understood it to the limits of his strength.But was self-reliant.  He tried to carry out his mission alone and isolated.  And that mission was greater than any one man could face alone. None of us has the strength in our own will and in our own character to face our challenges without help.  Relying on our own strength is a prescription for disaster.    I empathize with Denethor – parts of me really want to be self reliant as well, want to be independent, not rely on anyone else.  That resonates with some of you as well.  So I get Denethor’s mindset, and the temptations he faced.  There was...

Aquinas, Philosophy, and Stuff (Fr. Gregory Pine) | Ep. 289

In our 100th episode, we celebrate by going inside in an experiential exercise.  Recorded before a live audience, Dr. Peter guides you through an experiential exercise to help you connect with parts of you that resist God's love.  We create a space where you can much more deeply understand the negative, distorted God images that some of your parts may have -- mistaken ways they see God, and how those misunderstandings came about.  With gentleness, kindness, and love for your parts, your parts might be ready for your innermost self to be a bridge between them and God and Mother Mary.  Come join us on an adventure inside, where we work to overcome the human formation obstacles to embracing God's love for us.  At the end, audience participants share their experiences with Dr. Peter and he answers questions.

Charles Wall’s captivating 1910 account uncovers the riveting history of the relics of Christ’s Passion. From St. Helena’s miraculous discovery of the True Cross to the hidden nails, the Crown of Thorns, the spear of Longinus, and the veil of Veronica, each relic’s survival defies centuries of efforts to erase them. These pages reveal how providence, courage, and faith preserved these holy treasures that continue to draw souls closer to the mystery of Christ’s sacrifice.

07/07/19 Declaration

Peace is not simply an absence of war. Fr. Mike breaks down the Catechism’s teachings about peace as the &quot;work of justice and the effect of charity.” We learn that to cultivate true peace, we must do more than avoid anger, hatred, and harm to our neighbor; we must actively work toward becoming agents of peace. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2302-2306.

S18 E1 - Word of the Year

Bishop Athanasius Schneider examines over 130 doctrinal errors throughout Church history, tracing their origins and influence on the faithful. Drawing from his experience growing up among persecuted Catholics in the Soviet Union, he explains what heresy is, why God allows it, and how it harms souls. With historical insight and theological clarity, he equips Catholics to discern truth, resist error, and uphold the faith.
