Dcn. Jacob and Fr. Mike discuss the apparent paradox of two different scriptures. How can we simultaneously by be still (Exodus 14:14, Psalm 46) while also running so as to win (1 Corinthians 9:24).

Run So As To Be Still

The more we live in the truth, the harder it will be for others to offend us, because false statements about us won&#39;t bother us and true ones won&#39;t be hidden from us. In this video, Fr. Mike lays out why, as Catholic Christians, we are called to be both unoffensive and “unoffendable,” and explains how we can do that.<a rel="payment" href="https://ascensionpress.com/products/support-ascension">Support The Fr.

That's Offensive!

In this episode Fr. Mike and Dcn. Jacob discuss scriptural commentaries and the prophetic character of Jesus and the Church in the Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles. The conversation was inspired by the biblical scholar Luke Timothy Johnson and one of his books, “Prophetic Jesus, Prophetic Church.”

Episode 196 - Mary: A Real Mom, Series on "Mary and the Interior Life" by Fr. Jeremiah Shryock (Part 1) How important is Mary, Our Lady, in your spiritual life? Our Lady is a real woman, a real mother to all of us and Mary's intercession is actually more real than we realize. The gift of Our Lady is that she looks upon us, she knows our hearts, and her gaze can be the first safe and secure place in a world of filled insecurity. At this same moment, Mary wants us to look upon her and it is in this exchange where we find safety and security in our lives through a contemplative experience with her. In this episode, as we start our mini-series on Fr. Jeremiah's book, we are going to talk about Mary—a real mom, an invitation to gain a different understanding of Mary and learn about the importance of viewing the world through her eyes.

Mary: A Real Mom

Episode 124 - Dryness in Prayer Probably the most important relationship in our life is our relationship with God, and we are building that through prayer. Prayer is real—it's for everyone, but we know that prayer is not always easy. Sometimes it can even be really hard. Growing in relationship with God is a journey, there are ups and downs along with some twists and turns. There are good days when you just feel really close to God—days when you feel that you can hear the voice of God and there's so much joy, peace and consolation that goes into that. But in some days, there may be a lot of struggles where we feel far away from God. This episode talks about what happens when prayer is hard and how we go about it. It also serves as an encouragement to be more aware of what's happening in our hearts when we pray.

Rooting Out Hidden Faults

Thomistic Objections against Evolution: Returning to First Principles | Dr. Brian Carl

In this episode, we continue our series on the Garden of Our Hearts and talk about the cultivation of beauty. Beauty has the power to transform, heal, and lift us into communion with God, but it must be cultivated with care and intention. We discuss what it means to co-create with God, slow down and savor little moments, and rediscover beauty in the people closest to us. Even when the world around us feels barren or artificial, the Lord invites us to see beauty with new eyes and let the Holy Spirit reveal His presence in unexpected ways.

We must create an environment of wonder! We must create a climate of wonder! This task is closest to the family. . . . Wonder is needed so that beauty might enter into human life, into society and the nation. This beauty is the foundation and the creative moment of the culture. It is impossible to create culture by administrative means. These means can only destroy it. . . . We need to marvel at everything that is found in man." (Saint Pope John Paul II) Scripture for Lectio: "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, think about these things."

Can a Christian Kill? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Homily from the Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time. What have you done with what you&#39;ve been given? No one ever sets out to lose. But losing is entirely possible: in business, relationships, and in the spiritual life. It is possible to lose one’s soul. No one wants to lose, but many people do. Even with a great roadmap, we need regular checkpoints to make sure we are on course and haven’t gone off track.<dl style="margin : 0; padding-top:0;"><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Mass Readings from November 15, 2020:</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Proverbs 31:10-13, 19-20, 30-31</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;"> Psalms 128:1-5</dt><dt style="font-weight:normal;">1 Thessalonians 5:1-6</dt> Matthew 25:14-30 <a href="https://bulldogcatholic.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/roadmap-checkpoints.pdf">Download the Homily Study</a>

11/15/20 Roadmap: Checkpoints

If you begin to sin but don’t follow all the way through… is it still a sin? It depends.

We’re offered two different scenarios. In one, the person is prevented from sinning due to external factors that make it impractical or impossible to commit the sin they had planned on. In the second scenario, we see someone preparing to sin, but then freely and rationally choosing not to. The first scenario is a sin, but the second is a virtuous act. Why?

Because the second person freely decided not to commit sin, they morally aligned themselves toward the good when they had previously been aimed towards sin. They redirected their will toward God when they could have continued to go against him. In a simpler sense, they were headed down a bad path, but then turned around before making it to their destination.

That being said, while the second person did realign themselves toward virtue, the extent to which they consented to this sin ahead of time may be worth a confession. Even though the person chose virtue in the end, their soul was still burdened with those thoughts, and in confession, those burdens are lifted through forgiveness.

The beautiful part about our faith is that we have a Savior who is always ready and willing to forgive us. Surrendering our hearts to him creates a living relationship with God, where we trust his knowledge of our hearts, and run to him whenever we are in need of saving.<a rel="payment" href="https://ascensionpress.com/products/support-ascension">Support The Fr.

Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him. Gratitude therefore takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God. For the grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is what makes all the difference."

S16 E5 - Happy 8th Birthday!

Do aliens from outer space really exist? Did God create them? Are they intelligent? What does that mean for our faith?

Today, Fr. Mike&#39;s answer might not be what you&#39;re looking for, but... it&#39;s the truth.<a rel="payment" href="https://ascensionpress.com/products/support-ascension">Support The Fr. Mike Schmitz Catholic Podcast</a>

Did God Create Aliens?

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 77 - Trust That Mercy Is Greater, Week 3 of a series on A 30-Day Personal Retreat with the Litany of Trust, by Sr. Faustina Maria Pia, S.V., available here: https://stpaulcenter.com/trust10/ There are some sins that we just can't seem to shake—habitual sins that keep us coming back to the confessional over and over (and over) again. But no matter how consistent this sin seems, there's one who is more consistent: the Lord. His mercy and grace are greater than our sins and failings. Maybe you're discouraged. Frustrated. Worn down. That experience is real, but it's not who you are; it's not your identity. The truest, most real thing about your experience is his mercy. So don't settle for your sin. Don't believe that well, this is the way it's going to be. No! Return to the confessional, where the grace that's poured out is restorative to that specific wound, and begin again.
